You’ve got to go to the Clermont when in Atlanta. Especially if this is your first time. Famous people like Anthony Bordain and others frequented the Clermont when in town. It is... “unique.” Be warned, it is supposed to be scandalous and trashy!! It somehow adds to the appeal and fun. But it’s not for everyone. They say it’s a strip club, but it’s not exactly. These women have been working there for a LONG time if you know what I mean, but they know how to entertain. There is a dance floor for patrons and they allow you to dance. You can’t come here and not have fun! You have to experience it at least once!!
