AIRSTRIP NEWS
Las Vegas nightlife changes fast. Clubs that were famous ten years ago may be gone, renamed or rebuilt today. Two names people still search for are Cheetah’s and Olympic Garden.
If you’re planning a trip and looking for either one, this guide explains what happened, what’s at each site now and how to choose a club that’s open in 2026.
Both clubs have closed. Cheetah’s closed in 2020, and reports at the time said the building would reopen as The Library Gentlemen’s Club. Olympic Garden, also called OG, closed in 2016, and the venue later reopened as Peppermint Hippo. If you’re looking for a newer option, AIRSTRIP opened on Paradise Road and is celebrating its first anniversary in October 2026.
Cheetah’s was one of the best-known strip clubs in Las Vegas. Many people remember it as a filming location for the 1995 movie Showgirls.
By 2020, local reporting described the club as long past its heyday. In August 2020, its exterior signs came down, and Vital Vegas reported that Cheetah’s was “officially done.” At the time, all Las Vegas strip clubs were already closed because of COVID-19.
The same report said the building was expected to be overhauled and reopen as The Library Gentlemen’s Club.
In short: Cheetah’s is closed. Don’t plan your night around it.
Olympic Garden sat on Las Vegas Boulevard near its intersection with Wyoming, between the Strip and downtown. Its official name was OG’s Gentlemen’s Club & Male Revue. It was unusual because it served both men and women, with a gentlemen’s club downstairs and a male revue upstairs.
Olympic Garden closed suddenly in 2016. In 2021, Vital Vegas reported that the venue would reopen as Peppermint Hippo. The club now operates there under that name.
In short: Olympic Garden is closed. The venue now operates as Peppermint Hippo.
Old reviews and travel blogs can stay online for years after a club closes. Before you plan your night, check these four things:
1. The club’s own website. Look for current hours, packages and recent events.
2. Its Google Business Profile. Check for “Permanently closed” and recent reviews.
3. Recent reviews. Reviews from the last few months are a good sign the club is open.
4. A quick call or text. The fastest way to confirm hours and booking.
