The Pole Position Club is a strip club located in Ocean Beach, Vice City that is featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Description[]
The Pole Position Club is the only strip club in the city accessible to the player. The club is first introduced during "The Party" when the player escorts Mercedes Cortez to the club. Following "Shakedown", the club may be purchased by the player for $30,000 ($15,000 in the mobile version), becoming one of their business assets.
In addition to open stages, the Pole Position offers backroom dances by a stripper, which the player may pay by the minute; $5 every 5 game minutes (5 seconds, real-time) to watch. By spending a total of $300 on the dances, the player will complete the club's asset mission, allowing the club to earn the player $4,000 a day; the stockier backroom stripper seen in the original round of dancing is also replaced by a slimmer, more scantly-clad counterpart.
Once the club's asset mission is completed, another backroom of the club is opened. Upon entering this room, a cutscene is activated showing a more animated stripper dressed in a cowgirl outfit stripping for Tommy. Before this room is unlocked, the room is closed, with a sign reading "No Entry - Management Only" posted on the door. The stripper in this room is one of The Twins mentioned in the game's manual. The other is a bartender in Malibu Club after that asset is bought.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Pole Position Club has no markings on it and it's inaccessible to the player. It makes a brief appearance during the mission Steal the Deal, where the building is still referred to as being a strip club. It plays no role and is inaccessible. A Rampage can be found on the roof structure, as well as a Red Balloon underneath it.
Music[]
In GTA Vice City, the following songs can be heard playing inside the club:
- Animotion - "Obsession" (featured on Wave 103)
- Mary Jane Girls - "All Night Long" (featured on Fever 105)

Glitch[]
- There is a Blue Hell-type glitch triggered when exiting the club on a motorcycle, which leads the player with most of the areas missing, aside from having some of the visible areas in Ocean Beach. To access the player needs to send a bike such as the PCJ-600 into the club by accelerating at the door but bail out of the bike before entering, letting it careen into the club entrance corridor. Then walk into the club, and exit it on the bike - most of the buildings are then invisible with only some of the portions of Ocean Beach and Little Havana visible.
- In the 10th Anniversary Version (possibly Android only), the curtains on the main stage in the club seem to be missing a few chunks of textures, allowing the player to see into Blue Hell, but not access it.
Trivia[]
- The club's name is a play on the phrase "pole position", a term used in motorsports that describes the position that lies at the front of the starting grid, and pole dancers, a common feature of strip clubs. The black-and-white checkered racing flags on the club's sign outside are also likely a reference to motor racing.
- Two bikers and a taxi driver in a blue suit appear as patrons. These characters do not appear elsewhere in the city.
