Membership clubs in California and Nevada: how Club Joi and Eden After Dark work

If you come from other countries, the lifestyle scene in California and Nevada can surprise you with one detail: almost everything runs on membership. This is not a venue you walk into because the weather is nice; it is a community with applications, approval and rules. This guide explains, from what the official websites of two organisations say at source, how that system is organised and what to know before travelling. Sources checked on 7 November 2026; if something has changed, the club’s website prevails. We have no commercial link with either organisation, and nobody paid for this guide.

Why membership is the norm

Membership lets a club know whom it lets in, screen for people who respect consent and protect attendees’ privacy. It also turns the visit into a process: you have to apply in advance and may be turned down. The point is not to treat it as an obstacle but as part of safety. For a couple on the road it means starting the paperwork weeks ahead, not hours.

Club Joi (Los Angeles)

According to its official website, Club Joi is a Los Angeles-based club that publishes a calendar of themed parties almost every weekend: Fridays from 9 pm to 3 am, Saturdays from 9 pm to 5 am, and some community nights (the so-called LFN, of the Hotwife community) from 8 pm to 2 am. At the time of checking, the calendar included, among others, “Micro Mini”, “Steal His Shirt”, “The Lingerie Party”, “Girls in Garters”, “Peek-A-Boo”, “The Christmas Party”, “New Years Eve Kiss” and “Fire and Ice”, through 30 January 2027. Details of the upcoming dates are on the events page and in the Los Angeles guide.

Entry. The website says membership must be approved before attending, that tickets are bought per event and that there is an application page. It publishes no prices in the calendar.

Rules. Among the visible rules: “no means no” and touching without asking can get you removed. Single men may only attend the Hotwife community’s “Ladies Fantasy” events, with limited numbers.

Eden After Dark (Las Vegas)

Eden After Dark describes itself as a “members only” club headquartered in Las Vegas (101 Convention Center Drive), producing themed, boutique events. Its members are called “Keyholders”. According to its website:

• You must be 21 or older.
• Each person in a couple applies separately.
• Applying is free and each application is reviewed individually.
• Events are for approved members unless stated otherwise.
• It welcomes applicants from Las Vegas, Southern California and elsewhere in the US.
• It states values such as consent, privacy and personal boundaries, and offers educational resources and glossaries.

It publishes no open calendar and names no cities where it produces events beyond Las Vegas, so we list no dates. More about its approach in the feature.

How to prepare your application

A practical way to organise: apply for membership with weeks to spare; apply together, without lying about age or intentions; read the club’s full rules and talk limits through with your partner; and keep your ID handy, since both clubs set a minimum age. If you are turned down, do not push through other channels or turn up at the door.

How to read a club’s calendar

A calendar of themed parties is not a promise of a programme: the name of the night signals a theme, but the details (dress, capacity, price) are usually on the tickets page or in the rules. Always confirm there what is expected, and remember that dates can change. If a night does not suit you, wait for the next one: most clubs repeat formats through the season.

Etiquette that never fails

Ask before touching; accept a “no” with a smile; do not take photos; do not ask for personal details; watch the alcohol; and respect the zones and hours the club sets. If something makes you uncomfortable, tell staff. Our couples’ travel guide goes deeper into talking about limits and stop signals.

Law and privacy

Club rules add to state law, they do not replace it: outside the venue, exposure and sex in public remain offences. Read the guide to nudity and public sex and protect your digital privacy with the guide to profiles and apps.
