Certainly sir. Unless things have very recently changed, in Las Vegas, strippers are independent contractors which means:
1. they keep anything you pay them for services rendered,
2. they are free to charge you whatever they want for their services. Thus the lap dance rates are already "inflated" to adequately compensate them for their services rendered.
Bottom line is that it's your money and you should do with it what you feel is appropriate. If you like a particular dancer and want to keep her around or coming back, then sure paying more for a lap dance by tipping will get you their attention. But there is no obligation or requirement to tip. And if you go to a strip club on a budget, would you rather get less or more lap dances, drinks, etc. w/your $?
