Palomino Club Thursday — Fully Nude, Full Bar, No Other Venue in Nevada
Palomino Club operates under a 1969 Nevada grandfather-clause license that predates the regulatory split separating adult entertainment from liquor service. Under that license, Palomino has run fully nude entertainment simultaneously with a complete premium bar — cocktails, spirits, beer — for more than 55 years. No other Nevada address holds an equivalent license. No new licensee can obtain one. Thursday night at Palomino is the same format as every other night: the license does not vary by day of the week.
What makes Thursday specifically the recommended night is the weekday package available Sunday through Thursday only: round-trip limo service from your Strip hotel, waived entry cover, and two complimentary drinks — all included when you submit through NoCoverVegas. Friday and Saturday include the limo and waived cover but not the drink credit. Thursday combines the complete Palomino format with the best entry economics of any night.
The 1969 Grandfather Clause
Why No Other Nevada Club Can Replicate This Format
Nevada adult entertainment law divides into two distinct licensing categories established after Palomino Club already existed. The standard Nevada adult entertainment license permits topless entertainment and prohibits full-liquor service simultaneously — venues operating under this framework (Sapphire, Crazy Horse III, Spearmint Rhino, Peppermint Hippo, Las Toxicas, Hustler Club) must choose between a full bar and nudity beyond topless. They all choose the full bar, hence topless-only operation with cocktail service.
Palomino Club opened in 1969, before Nevada formalized this split. The operating license it received predates the bifurcated framework and has been continuously maintained through 55-plus years of uninterrupted operation. This grandfather clause permits both simultaneously: fully nude entertainment on stage and a full premium bar serving cocktails and spirits to guests in the same space. The license is non-transferable and cannot be issued to any new establishment under the current regulatory structure. It exists at exactly one Nevada address.
On Thursday night, both elements run at full operational scale. The main floor double-pole stage has two simultaneous pole positions producing a layered viewing geometry from any main floor seat. The bar operates the complete spirits menu — premium cocktails, domestic and imported beers, shots across the same premium range. The two elements run simultaneously, uninterrupted, from 9:30 PM through the 5 AM Thursday close.

Thursday-Only Benefits
The Weekday Package: Free Limo + Waived Cover + Two Drinks
The Palomino weekday package runs Sunday through Thursday. It bundles three components that Friday and Saturday do not offer simultaneously. First: round-trip limo service from your Strip hotel to 1848 Las Vegas Blvd North and back, at no charge. The drive runs approximately 20 minutes in typical Thursday evening traffic — the limo eliminates the $18–32 each-way rideshare cost that otherwise applies to a self-organized North Las Vegas trip. Second: waived entry cover. Standard walk-in cover at Palomino without the guest list runs $20–30 per person. For a group of four, that is $80–120 before a single drink is ordered. The guest list eliminates that cost entirely on Thursday. Third: two complimentary drinks per person. Friday and Saturday through NoCoverVegas include the limo and cover waiver — the drink credit is the Thursday-exclusive addition.
The combined value of the three package components for a group of four: approximately $150–220 in eliminated costs (rideshare round-trip $36–64, door cover $80–120, drink credits $40–60) before the first purchased drink of the evening. No other Las Vegas adult entertainment venue operating Thursday night offers an equivalent combined entry, transport, and drink package at any price point. The comparison includes every topless club on the Strip and every fully nude venue in Nevada — Palomino is the only full-liquor fully nude option, and Thursday is the night where the entry economics are strongest.
To access the package: submit the NoCoverVegas guest list form with your group size, hotel name, and preferred pickup time. A host will confirm the limo timing, pickup location, and package terms within a few hours. Same-day Thursday requests are typically accommodated if submitted before 7 PM. For SEMA week (first week of November), EDC week (May), and New Year's Eve period (Dec 30–Jan 1), submit 48–72 hours in advance as Thursday limo slots fill earlier during convention and festival weeks.
Thursday Package vs. Other Nights — What Is Included
The Palomino Club Layout
30,000 Square Feet Across Two Floors — Both Active on Thursday
Main Floor — Double-Pole Stage
- ►Double-pole main stage: two simultaneous pole positions, continuous rotation from 9:30 PM
- ►Full bar: complete cocktail menu, premium spirits, domestic and imported beers
- ►Thursday density: approximately 65–70% of Friday peak
- ►Private room arrangements confirmed through host desk on arrival
- ►ATM on-site; plan $60–100 per person tip cash for a 3–4 hour Thursday
Upstairs Ultra-Lounge
- ►Own dedicated stage, own bar, own entertainer rotation — independent from main floor
- ►Smaller, focused geometry: closer entertainer proximity than the larger main floor
- ►Friday/Saturday: fills before midnight; Thursday: substantially more available seating
- ►Groups arriving before 10:30 PM typically get seating held through 5 AM close
- ►Request upstairs placement through host desk on arrival, not from main floor bar
The two-floor architecture at Palomino separates the Thursday experience into two distinct formats that can be sequenced in an evening. Main floor entry (accessible from the front entrance) delivers high-scale stage visibility and a social main floor atmosphere. The upstairs ultra-lounge, reached via the elevator bank or interior staircase after checking in at the host desk, delivers a smaller-room format with an independent entertainment rotation and closer stage positioning. Groups who want both can sequence the evening: main floor for the first two hours, upstairs transition for the late-night hours when main floor crowd composition shifts after 1 AM.
The Thursday operational advantage of the two-floor layout is positioning flexibility. On Friday and Saturday, both floors operate at capacity, and the host desk must manage group placement under pressure. Thursday's lower density gives the host desk latitude to place groups in table positions they prefer and maintain that positioning through the 5 AM close, rather than accommodating the rotation that peak-night capacity forces.
Thursday Night Timeline
Palomino Club Thursday: 9 PM to 5 AM
9:00–9:30 PM
Optimal Arrival Window
Entertainment rotation reaches full operational pace at 9:30 PM. Arriving at 9-9:30 PM allows the host desk to confirm bottle service tables and upstairs ultra-lounge positioning before competition develops. Limo from mid-Strip delivers in this window if booked for 8:30-9 PM pickup.
9:30 PM–Midnight
Main Floor Peak Build
The Thursday crowd builds from 9:30 through 11 PM. Groups can move fluidly between main floor and upstairs during this window. The host desk can fulfill arrangement requests with shorter wait times than weekend nights.
10:00 PM
Late Arrival — Direct Immersion
Groups arriving at 10 PM walk directly into Thursday's peak main floor energy. Valid strategy if the priority is immediate main floor experience rather than upstairs setup or arrangement scheduling.
Midnight–2:00 AM
Late-Night Sweet Spot
By midnight, earlier guests have departed, the entertainer-to-guest ratio on the main floor improves, and the upstairs ultra-lounge runs at full entertainment capacity without the positioning pressure of the earlier hours. Experienced Thursday visitors specifically target this window.
2:00–5:00 AM
After-Hours Window
Strip nightclubs (Hakkasan, OMNIA, TAO, Drai's After Hours) close by 4-6 AM. Palomino Thursday closes at 5 AM. Groups using Palomino as the 2 AM-onward destination after a Strip club close arrive into a venue still in full operation. Round-trip limo available for return to your Strip hotel at any point through 5 AM.
Thursday Pricing
Lowest Bottle Service Minimum in the Full-Liquor Las Vegas Market
Bottle service at Palomino Club starts at $300 on Thursday — the lowest bottle service minimum among Las Vegas adult entertainment venues with a full liquor license currently operating. The comparison: Sapphire Las Vegas starts at $500, Crazy Horse III at $400, Peppermint Hippo at $500. The $300 Thursday minimum at Palomino is not a discounted promotional rate — it is the standard weeknight bottle minimum, available because Thursday crowd density at roughly 65–70% of Friday peak allows the host team to offer better table positions at the same price point.
The two-drink credit in the Thursday weekday package applies as a per-person credit against drink orders. Mixed drinks at Palomino on Thursday run $10–16 depending on spirit and preparation. Domestic and imported beers run $8–12. The package's two-drink credit covers $20–32 per person before any purchased drinks. For a group of four, the Thursday package's drink credit reduces the first round by $80–120 against the bar tab.
Full-Liquor Strip Club Bottle Service Minimum Comparison
Plan $60–100 per person in tip cash for main floor entertainment. Additional cash recommended for any private room arrangements scheduled through the host desk on arrival. On-site ATM available.

The 20-minute drive from Strip hotels is the most common hesitation for first-time Palomino Thursday visitors. With the NoCoverVegas limo, the logistics are identical to a trip to a Strip club — you sit in the car, you arrive, you depart from the same address at close. Groups who have avoided Palomino because of the North Las Vegas location and used the limo for the first time consistently report that the distance concern disappears on the first visit. The limo runs on Thursday under the same terms as any other weekday under the package.
Thursday Crowd Profile
Three Groups Who Make Thursday at Palomino Different
Thursday at Palomino consistently draws three distinct crowd profiles that rarely converge in the same room elsewhere in Las Vegas. Understanding who is in the room is relevant because the crowd composition affects the room energy in specific ways — more so at Palomino Thursday than at other adult entertainment venues, because all three groups arrive knowing exactly what they are choosing and why.
Convention Visitors on Their Final Conference Night
Las Vegas hosts more than 600 major conventions annually. The dominant conference scheduling format runs Monday through Thursday: check in Sunday, sessions Monday through Wednesday, closing events and award dinners Thursday evening, fly home Friday morning. Final-conference-night attendees at Palomino are making a deliberate destination choice for an experience they cannot access anywhere else in the country before their departure flight. They have spent three or four days in sessions with colleagues and are specifically looking for what the 1969 grandfather-clause license provides. SEMA Show (November), CES (January), and the International Auto Dealers Association are among the major conferences whose Thursday nights consistently drive Palomino attendance.
Las Vegas Hospitality Industry Workers
Bartenders, dealers, table game supervisors, nightclub servers, cocktail staff, and hotel front desk workers operate on a schedule that runs opposite the conventional calendar. Thursday is functionally their Saturday — they work through the weekend and have Sunday through Thursday as their equivalent of a personal weekend. Las Vegas hospitality workers who visit Palomino on Thursdays are typically regulars, not first-time visitors. They use the NoCoverVegas guest list because the waived cover and drink credit offer material savings for people who visit regularly. This group produces a room dynamic where at least a portion of the Thursday crowd are experienced guests who know the venue's format, know the entertainment staff by name, and provide a social baseline that orients the convention group arrivals.
Experienced Las Vegas Repeat Visitors
The third profile is the visitor who has been to Las Vegas multiple times, has visited topless clubs on prior trips (Sapphire, Crazy Horse III, Spearmint Rhino), and is specifically seeking the Palomino format that those venues cannot offer. This group researched the venue before arriving in Las Vegas, verified the grandfather-clause operation, and planned Thursday around the weekday package. They arrive knowing exactly why Palomino is different from the topless clubs they visited before, which means they engage with the venue in a more directed way than a first-time visitor. All three profiles combine to create a Thursday room energy that mid-week crowds at Palomino on other nights rarely match regardless of entertainer count.
FAQ
Palomino Club Thursday — Common Questions
Does the NoCoverVegas guest list work for Thursday specifically?
Yes. The NoCoverVegas guest list is available at Palomino Club every night of the week, including Thursday. The Thursday entry includes the weekday package (free limo, waived cover, two drinks). Submit the form with your group size, hotel name, and preferred pickup time and a host will confirm the details — typically within a few hours for same-day Thursday requests submitted before 7 PM.
Is Palomino Club truly a 24-hour venue on Thursdays?
Palomino Club maintains a 24-hour operating license. The primary entertainment rotation and staffing peaks from 9:30 PM through the 5 AM Thursday close. Groups can technically arrive at any hour, but the entertainment rotation and bar are most fully staffed during the 9:30 PM to 5 AM Thursday window. The Thursday 5 AM close is distinct from the extended weekend close (Saturday nights can run longer).
Can I do a bachelor party at Palomino Club on Thursday?
Yes. Thursday is a recommended bachelor party night at Palomino. The weekday package's lower costs extend the group's budget: eliminating cover ($80-120 for a group of four) and providing the two-drink credit ($40-60 for a group of four) offsets the limo cost and redirects spending toward bottle service or additional entertainment. Bottle service starts at $300, the lowest minimum in the full-liquor Las Vegas market.
Is the Thursday experience at Palomino the same as Friday and Saturday?
The entertainment format is identical — fully nude, full bar, both floors, same cover-waiver and limo availability. The Thursday-specific differences: (1) two-drink credit added to the package, (2) crowd density approximately 65-70% of Friday peak, (3) upstairs ultra-lounge table availability substantially better than on weekends, (4) host desk has more positioning flexibility for bottle service tables, (5) closing time is 5 AM. The core Palomino experience — the unique license format — is identical on Thursday as any other night.
How does Palomino Thursday compare to other Thursday options in Las Vegas?
On a Thursday in Las Vegas, your adult entertainment options divide between topless (full bar) and fully nude (regulated or limited bar). Every other major Las Vegas strip club operating Thursday night — Sapphire, Crazy Horse III, Spearmint Rhino, Peppermint Hippo — is topless only with a full bar. Palomino is fully nude with a full bar. If your preference is a fully nude environment with a complete premium bar, there is no alternative in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada on Thursday or any other night.
