Chain of topless bars rebranded as 'gentleman's clubs' to make middle-aged men feel better about the direction their lives have taken.
— Description at LCN.com.

Vanilla Unicorn is a strip club featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. In GTA V, the player can buy stocks from them in the Lcn-exchange.com website.

Description[]

The club is located on Elgin Avenue, next to the Olympic Freeway in Strawberry, Los Santos, State of San Andreas.

It has several sections, some known are the Real Class, and Beautiful Ladies Class. The club itself is divided into a stage (resembling a penis, another example of Rockstar's crude humor), bar, private rooms, a small office and the stripper's dressing room. The latter keeps a large snake as a pet, which will not move in any case. There is also a DJ booth, which connects to the bar, but both are inaccessible.

Franklin is seen in the club during his personal trailer, hanging out with Lamar. He seems to be friends with the bouncer/doorman since he always greets Franklin as "Mr. C". The doorman will also recognize Michael after Hang Ten, suggesting they visit the club frequently, especially to see Trevor and plan the Union Depository heist. Following Hang Ten, Wade Hebert can be found in one of the booths near the entrance, being fawned over by two strippers.

The music heard inside Vanilla Unicorn is from Non-Stop-Pop FM. In the enhanced version, the music heard inside is taken from various radio stations. As with all other radio stations in the game, only 10 or so songs will play on a randomized loop. Wade may comment on the small song selection if the player walks by him where he will comment, "They only play like, six songs in here. It's kinda making me crazy."

The club is a frequent Families gang hangout location, as it is located deep in their turf in Strawberry. Members can be seen standing outside the club and there is always a member sitting by one of the tables near the bartender.

In Grand Theft Auto Online, the strip club is locked until rank 6.

During the Stolen Watch variation of Security Contract: Recover Valuables, the club is taken over by the Armenian Mob. The player is required to fight their way to a safe in the back room and recover a watch.

The strip club has a website on the in-game internet at www.vanillaunicorn.xxx.

Influence[]

The club name is a play on the real-life strip club chain Spearmint Rhino, as both names contain a flavor and an animal with a horn on its head (though fictional in this case).

Also, judging by the club's location in Strawberry and its exterior, the building seems to be based on the real life strip club Bare Elegance.

Strippers[]

For the finest girls in Los Santos visit the Vanilla Unicorn - Objectifying the female form since 1984.
— Text message the player receives upon reaching rank 6 in Grand Theft Auto Online.

In the strip club, the player can pay $40 (pocket cash only) to receive a topless dance in private. The protagonist can flirt with the stripper or touch her to increase a "Like" meter. However, there is a bouncer in the private room that walks back and forth, and if the bouncer catches the protagonist touching the dancer three times, the protagonist will be kicked out of the club. If the protagonist likes her enough, he can choose to take her home, similar to the girlfriends in Grand Theft Auto IV. Additionally, the strippers will be added to the characters' cell phone contacts, much like the women met in the Maisonette 9 from The Ballad of Gay Tony, and can be taken home without receiving a dance first. However, some strippers do not sleep around.

After Trevor acquires the Vanilla Unicorn, he, Michael and Franklin can touch the strippers without the risk of being ejected. For Trevor, lap dances are free and the strippers call him "sir".

After a stripper is taken home for the first time, her number will be available on the contacts list on the player's phone. The player can then call her at night to pick her up and take her home, but if called during the day she will make an excuse. She will usually send pictures of herself to the player too after being taken home. Sometimes when picked up, strippers will give the player a blowjob while he is driving her home. This can easily be noticed by pressing the button to look behind while driving, as well as the comments made by her and the player.

If a stripper is attacked or killed, either at the club or in transit during a booty call, she will be alive and well during her next shift at the club. She will, however, be mad at the player; they will have to restore her "like" bar in order to re-acquire her as a booty call. Also, in GTA V, when taking a stripper home, the stripper will get mad and leave the player when it looks like they're leaving her behind.

In Grand Theft Auto Online, the player can get a lap dance, again for $40, only there is no bouncer in the area of the private rooms and they can hold the stripper without the worry of being kicked out. They once again must raise a Like bar, which can be worked on by tossing dollar bills during the stripper's pole dance, holding the stripper during lap dances, or using their microphone to flirt with the stripper. Filling the flirt bar will add a bit to the Like bar at a time. Most of them also have their voice lines disabled, unless they have unique lines that are not gender-specific.

If particular strippers with whom their Like meters are high enough, are working at the time and a private dance is purchased for one of them, the game will inform the player that there is a girl available that the stripper is willing to dance with (a double lapdance), and they need to be asked to join before entering the private rooms. The second dancer will need to be paid as usual before she agrees.

If the player wishes to max out the Like meter, it must be done in one session as it is reset with every new session.

Once the Like bar is full, the stripper will give the player her number and if rung, she will come to the player's apartment (the more high-end it is, the better) to perform free lap dances in a predesignated armchair (though not topless) for the player and their friends. Only one stripper at a time can be invited over.

When not performing, she will stand by the chair and dance in place. As long as a player is in range and able to activate a lap dance she will stay. If the mobile phone is active or a player is not in range, she will ask for interaction until an in-game notice warns that she will leave if she becomes bored from being ignored. Once she reaches that point, she will say goodbye and simply walk out of the apartment.

For some reason, topless dances could not be received in Grand Theft Auto Online, even though it is described as a topless bar by Lcn-exchange.com. Additionally, only Nikki, Chastity, and Fufu worked in the club in GTA Online in the original version. These issues were changed in the Enhanced Version in patch 1.27, however.

The strippers currently working at the club are:

[O] - Available to take home in Grand Theft Auto Online.
[V] - Available to take home in Grand Theft Auto V.

The strippers work in shifts: Sapphire, Fufu, Infernus and Peach work together, between 20:00 and 08:00, as do Juliet, Nikki, Chastity and Cheetah, between 08:00 and 20:00. In each shift there are two strippers who are available to take home and two who aren't. If the player is looking for a particular stripper and doesn't see her, they can return later when the strippers change shifts. In GTA Online, the strippers work in groups of three instead of four and the time is randomized. Sapphire, Infernus, and Chastity work together. Fufu, Peach, and Juliet work together. And Cheetah, Nikki, and Juliet work together. Juliet is the only stripper to appear in multiple shifts.

As a Safehouse[]

Following "Hang Ten", Trevor "acquires" the Vanilla Unicorn as a safehouse, replacing Floyd's Apartment, which loses its function as a safehouse in the mission. Once acquired (at no cost to the player), Trevor can roam freely around the backrooms of the club, and is also able to get lap dances for free and touch the dancers at will (Franklin and Michael also can now touch freely, but still have to pay).

This is one of five safehouses in the Grand Theft Auto series to be given to the player after killing the owner, the others being the Vercetti Estate, Brian Jeremy's Safehouse, Lancaster Safehouse and Playboy X's Penthouse (only if Playboy X is killed).

Other features of the club-as-safehouse:

  • Drinks are now free for Trevor at the bar.
  • Trevor can have an unlimited number of drinks at the bar, until he passes out.
  • The stripper's changing room doubles as Trevor's wardrobe (although only stripper gear is visible on the racks, Trevor's regular wardrobe cache is available).
  • All of the characters can use the rear entrance to the club.
  • The back office has a saving location, the couch, plus a health pack. Strangely, although there is a computer in the office, it cannot be used to access the internet.
  • The parking lot on the north side can store up to two vehicles. Sometimes Trevor's Bodhi will be seen parked in the parking area to the east, but vehicles will not be saved if parked there. Note that the other two characters can access the vehicles parked in the lot as well, but only Trevor can park them to be saved.
  • Wade will be found in one of the lapdance alcoves with two dancers draped over him. He will also be present if Franklin and Michael visit and will make references to Trevor if they pass close by.

Unlike other safehouses, if Michael or Franklin fires their weapon inside or at the parking after Hang Ten, Trevor will not call or text them to stop.

Glitches[]

  • Before v1.01, the club would occasionally lock itself (even after Trevor acquires it as a safehouse) and remain inaccessible for the rest of the game, disabling its function as a safehouse. As of 1.18 it has not been fixed for pre 1.01 players, however the club can still be entered. Even after the patch, some players have still reported these problems.
  • There is a very rare glitch that occurs in GTA Online. When asking Nikki or Fufu for a dance or when watching them dancing on the pole, their name appears as "Juliet" and Juliet's number will appear in the player's phone after the dance. If the player tries to contact Juliet, however, they will receive the "engaged" tone.
  • When walking behind the club, sometimes 2 cars could spawn atop each other.

Trivia[]

  • The woman near the entrance carries a pistol that can be seen by killing her. Oddly, even if she is shot at, she will not shoot back.
  • If the player manages to gain access the back area of the bar, they will be unable to leave as there is an invisible wall preventing the player from jumping over the bar.
  • Jimmy De Santa has a Vanilla Unicorn calendar in his bedroom.
  • The strip club was opened in 1984, the same year that the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories took place in the 3D Universe.
  • Before Hang Ten, if the player shows up wearing only underwear (as any protagonist), the bouncer will comment "Where yo' pants at, fool?".
  • Despite being locked in Director Mode, the interior is still loaded. Patrons are present, but strippers, the DJ, the bartender and the music are absent.
  • The bouncers will engage the player when he attacks or causes disruption in the club (like riding a bike into it). After Hang Ten, Trevor, as the club owner, can do so without provoking them, even though other inhabitants of the club still run out in panic. The bouncers will still retaliate if he personally attacks them.
  • While having a private dance in the Japanese version of the game, the strippers are wearing Pasties, instead of having their nipples exposed.
  • There are posters placed arond the club advertising two strippers (Filly Stirrups and Daisy Cutter), and two DJs (DJ Mare and DJ Paddock Punter). Despite being pictured, and having scheduled days, the two strippers do not appear. It is also unknown if the in-house DJ is one of the two mentioned on the posters.
  • Stickers of the Pole Position Adult Lounge can be found on the payphone located inside the entrance.
  • In an MC Contact Mission of Guns for Hire, some strippers carry Pistols as it counts as a target for other players to kill them. This marks the first time that strippers can use weapons upon starting Guns for Hire.
    • The strip club will be unavailable if Guns for Hire has started at this location. Entering the Strip Club while the mission is ongoing will result the targets to kill the player outside of the Motorcycle Club.
  • In GTA Online, if the player leaves the lobby or signs out while the stripper is still there, a bill for cleaning the apartment will be the first notice they receive the next time they sign in, costing around $50-$100.
  • The strip club has a select set of songs that are played within the club, all from radio stations within the game. These include:
    • From Non-Stop-Pop FM
      • Amerie - 1 Thing
      • Britney Spears - Gimme More
      • Fergie feat. Ludacris - Glamorous
      • Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons Remix)
      • Mis-Teeq - Scandalous
      • Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
      • Lady Gaga - Applause
      • M.I.A. - Bad Girls
      • Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me
    • From Radio Mirror Park
      • DJ Mehdi - Lucky Boy (Outlines Remix)
      • Feathers - Dark Matter
