Centerfolds Las Vegas, a longtime topless cabaret located off the Strip on Paradise Road, has officially closed its doors. The venue, which has been a staple in the city’s adult entertainment landscape for years, will be replaced by a new club named Players, a sports-themed nightlife concept promising a fresh blend of entertainment and performance art.
Centerfolds General Manager, Lianne Heck, expressed heartfelt thanks to the staff, performers, and loyal patrons who helped shape the club’s legacy. Throughout its run, the club also featured shows like A Touch of Burlesque, and sought to expand its appeal with productions such as Murray’s Misfits and Exxcite, both of which wrapped earlier this year.
The venue originally opened in 1994 as Club Paradise and quickly became a hotspot for late-night casino-goers and celebrity guests. Its reputation, however, was marred in 2014 when it was raided in connection with a conspiracy and credit-card fraud case that resulted in five employee indictments.
As of early 2025, Las Vegas is home to approximately 24 strip clubs. These venues are primarily located off the Strip, often along Industrial Road, due to zoning restrictions that prohibit adult entertainment on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Notable establishments include Sapphire Las Vegas, Spearmint Rhino, Crazy Horse 3, and Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. While most clubs offer topless entertainment, some, like Palomino, provide fully nude performances but restrict alcohol service to comply with local laws.
Despite past setbacks, Centerfolds Las Vegas had remained resilient, navigating the pandemic and reopening under Heck’s leadership. As Centerfolds prepares to take its final bow, a new chapter begins with Players, signaling yet another evolution in the ever-changing Las Vegas nightlife scene.
