A '''Nightclub''' is a dance club where CJ can dance like how a car hops in the station with a bunch of Cholos. But CJ dances with a girl.

The nightclub also comes complete with video games, snack and drink machines, and a pool table.<!--I think a pool table. I'm not sure on that one.-->
A '''nightclub''', or '''club''', is, as implied, a club more inclined for use as a place to dance and socialize, as opposed to more sexually oriented [[Strip Club|strip clubs]]. While strip clubs are more common in the GTA series, nightclubs are significantly rarer. [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], and [[Grand Theft Auto V]] are the only games to feature nightclubs as interactive locales.


The Nightclubs in SA are [[Alhambra]] in [[Los Santos]], [[Gaydar Station]] in [[San Fierro]].

There is no Nightclub in Las Venturas.
The [[Malibu Club]] in GTA Vice City is the first interactive nightclub in the series. It becomes accessible early in the game, containing a lively interior complete with an active dancefloor, a bar, and an overhead office. The club may even be purchased by [[Tommy Vercetti]] after "[[Shakedown (GTA VC)|Shakedown]]", and its office used as a meeting place [[The Job|to stage a heist]]. There are also entertainers onstage, parodying [[wp:Village People|the Village People]].


==Songs danced==
=== GTA San Andreas ===
In GTA San Andreas, clubs may be used by the player to [[Rhythm-based Minigames|dance]] with a girl, in a minigame similar in fashion to the [[Lowrider Challenge]]. The interior of clubs also comes complete with [[Arcade Games|video games]], and [[Vending Machines|snack and drink machines]]. There are three clubs in GTA San Andreas:


1. [[Wikipedia:Nuthin' but a G Thang|Nuthin' but a G Thang]] by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. When CJ exceeds 5,000 points, he unlocks the next song.
*The [[Alhambra]] in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. The building is a copy of the real-life [[wp:Shrine Auditorium|Shrine Auditorium]] in Los Angeles (which is mostly a venue for celebrity awards ceremonies, but has hosted rave parties in its Expo Center in the past).
*[[Gaydar Station]], a gay-oriented club that also seemingly welcome straight people, in [[San Fierro]].
*An unnamed club in [[Las Venturas]] adorned with neo-new-age murals, found east of [[The Camel's Toe]] right across the street from the basketball courts. It may or may not be based on Club 662 in Las Vegas, owned by Death Row Records CEO [[wp:Suge Knight|Suge Knight]], and 2Pac's intended destination the night he was shot.


2. [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Swingin'|Hollywood Swingin']]. When CJ exceeds 6,000 points, he unlocks the next song.
Frankie Knuckles' "[[SF-UR|Your Love]]" is usually played in the background when the player is not dancing. For songs played when the player dances, see [[Rhythm-based Minigames#GTA San Andreas|this article]].


3. [[Wikipedia:Funky President|Funky President]].

=== GTA IV ===
[[Image:ClubLiberty-GTAIV-exterior.jpg|thumb|right|275px|[[Club Liberty]] in GTA IV.]]
 
In Grand Theft Auto IV, nightclubs are not accessible and tend to be only named. [[Maisonette 9]] in particular is occasionally mentioned in GTA IV media, while [[Bahama Mamas]] has a physical presence but is not accessible due to a temporary closure.
 
The only interactive club is [[Club Liberty]], a semi-interactive club in [[Northwood]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], which serves as a [[bar]] where the player and a friend or girlfriend to can [[Drinking|drink]].
 
===The Ballad of Gay Tony===
Nightclubs take centerstage in The Ballad of Gay Tony, with three clubs central to the game's plot:
 
*[[Maisonette 9]], Gay Tony's straight/celebrity club.
*[[Hercules]], [[Gay Tony|Gay Tony's]] gay bar.
*[[Bahama Mamas]], a competing club only accessible during "[[Boulevard Baby]]" and in multiplayer.
 
While in Maisonette 9 or Hercules, the player can partake in [[Rhythm-based Minigames|dancing]] and [[Drinking|taking shots of liquor]]. Maisonette 9 also allows the player to perform [[Club Management]] side activities, as well as engage in champagne drinking contests.
 
Unlike their predecessors, nightclubs in The Ballad of Gay Tony exclusively open at night, and are thus inaccessible during the day.
