Dress Code: Collared Shirt Required
Located on Westheimer just down the street from the Galleria, Treasures is considered to be Houston's most upscale strip club. It has multiple bars, multiple stages, and a good size VIP room. Treasures is the flag ship club of the Jackpot Clubs Group. Being the flagship club, everything is a little nicer. The furniture is newer, and staff is more attractive, and overall it has a more modern feel.
Analyst note:
Treasures Dominated the Houston Scene for over a decade. But after the Collapse of Enron, all the corporate spending dried up. Back in those days Treasures had 200 - 300 Dancers working every night. However Treasures eventually became a victim of its own success, and the city was very close to shutting it down. Once it was known that Treasures was now being heavily monitored by the Police, all the customers that were patronizing it for more than just simple lap dances, went away. Their Girl counts rapidly dropped, and the customers went to other venues that were not as closely watched by law enforcement. To this day Treasures has not fully recovered. Even though the owners and management have made attempts to clean the place up. There are still questions about how heavily monitored it is by vice, and this continues to keep away most of the high rollers. If you do visit this club its highly recommended you pay with cash and DO NOT give them your credit card. News about this club indicates a pattern of padding the tabs.

Girls wise they don't have the kind of quantity or quality of girls they used to, but they still are just as aggressive as they used to be. The girls here have a history of being very pushy. If you want to grab a seat, relax and take in the surroundings in peace this is not the club for you. If you have money to burn ( I am talking cash not credit ), and like a more fast paced scene, you will have a good time.
As of May 2015 they finally updated their website, it looks a lot better, but unfortunately most of the photos on it look to be purchased stock photos and do not represent the types of girls you will actually find there.
On a positive note for consumers they have gotten aggressive with their pricing. With specials on some wells and domestic beers starting at $3.75 from 11am til 7pm weekdays. However you still have to pay a cover to get in. The fact that they are getting so aggressive with their drink specials indicates that they have lost market share to other clubs in the area. Not a good sign for what was once the highest liquor selling club in Houston.

For 16 years, Houston spent millions of dollars litigating a subject other cities regard as a low-level nuisance or ignore altogether: strip clubs. Then in November, city officials finally worked out a deal with the 16 biggest clubs in town.
Club settles nuisance lawsuit with Houston city attorneys, who originally wanted the club declared a nuisance venue and force it to close for year.
Treasures becomes the most scrutinized strip club in Houston, with the City forcing then to staff an undercover official who will ensure no illegal activities happen.
A strip club ran up $5,300 on a customer's American Express card for "dances that never took place," a dancer stole his watch, then guards kicked the bejeezus out of him, a man claims in court.
Treasures strip club can continue operating in the face of city and county allegations that it is a den of criminal activity, a judge ruled Monday, but it must beef up security, fire felons on its payroll, tape just about everything that goes on in the club and have its dancers completely cover their behinds.
In a new episode of the long-running battle between sexually oriented businesses and government officials, attorneys for Harris County and the city of Houston filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to have the Treasures strip club declared a public nuisance and shut down.
The city of Houston and Harris County joined forces Wednesday to file a lawsuit asking that the strip club, Treasures, be ordered closed for alleged ties to human trafficking and drug activity.
An undercover Houston Police Department investigation at the Treasures club netted the strippers on a variety of charges, including prostitution, performing lewd acts, and violations of statutes governing sexually-oriented businesses (such as the dreaded "three foot rule"). The dancers--who range in age from 19 to 37--were booked into the Harris County jail.
News and Press
Area topless clubs being sued by dancers
Jan 19, 2015 My Fox HoustonSome exotic dancers can make hundreds even thousands of dollars in a night. That is not a payment of wage that comes from the club itself, says attorney Galvin Kennedy. And in some cases Kennedy says the dancers must pay the club a fee and share their tips with club employees like managers and disc jockeys. By not paying the dancers one single cent the owners of Gold Cup, Treasures, Cover Girls and Centerfolds are violating the Fair Labor Standards Act according to a lawsuit filed against the clubs. That lawsuit claims these clubs should be paying dancers at least minimum wage in addition to the tips they receive and overtime for working more than 40 hours a week.

County claims prostitution occurs at strip club
Sep 5, 2012 Click2HoustonThe Harris County Attorney's Office is seeking a temporary injunction to stop what he calls "credit card prostitution" at Treasures, 5647 Westheimer Road. Treasures is the largest liquor retailer in the state of Texas. Its revenues top $15 million per year, according to investigators. In the past three years, Houston police said there have been 23 prostitution arrests at the club, plus seven arrests on drug charges and another six arrests on aggravated assault charges. "They contend that it's a glamorous strip club, but we contend that it's a wide-open whore house where you can use a credit card," Assistant Harris County Attorney Terry O'Rourke said.

The dancers some of whom said they were single mothers and small business owners told State Office of Administrative Hearings Judge Roshunda Pringle that their jobs at the Galleria-area booby hut have allowed them to care for their kids, pay the mortgage and go to college. They described the owners and staff as tolerant, respectful and familial. On the other hand, Houston City Attorney David Feldman and City Councilman Mike Laster described Treasures as a festering den of iniquity, replete with prostitution and human trafficking.

Review: Don't use a credit card here, it's extremely risky. Watch out for the blonde dancers who try to get you to use it. There are horror stories about it all over the internet.
Pros: location
Cons: Shady credit card charges

Houston, Texas strip club Reviewby Yusef Islam on Mar 18, 2015 12:23 AM
Review: Their Web page says text them for half off entry. What they don't tell you is that they then ask for your state issued ID and write down your full name, phone number and email address and save that info so that anyone who can get the list will know you've been there. If you sign up through Yelp, they'll ask for your entire email address book. So unless you want the world to know you've been to Treasures, don't try their text or email discounts.
Pros: Ok club if you pay cash for everything and don't bring more than you can stand to lose.
Cons: They try to get your name, phone number and other info

Review: Not the best club in Houston, but good location.
Pros: Dancers are very decent looking.
Cons: The dancers will try to con you. If you ever go to this club never give them a credit card take cash only. I presently have charges against them for fraud.

Review: DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY ON VIP INSTEAD SPEND $100 AND GET FEW LAP DANCES ON THE FLOOR. I have been to treasures many times and tonight was my last time for sure. One wonders why they keep pushing you to go to VIP right? These people will charger you an arm and a leg and IT IS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL "waste of money". For 30min you will pay around $1000 including forced tips and stupid credit card usage fee etc.
Pros: VIP STINKS!
Cons: false information given about VIP fees etc. Forced 20% tips for the waitress. VIP STINKS!

Review: Eva is the finest dancer in the whole wide world!
She is the hottest brunette ever to handle a lighted pole
She works only rarely during the day so you might have to come a few times just to catch her
Good Luck!
Now Justice is on Long Tall Glass to drink in
And she is very approachable
There is a Haunting well built blonde there
Someday I'll have the courage to say hello to her
The buffet was full and good eating
Mannnn
They sure do know how to make a well spiked drink
Pros: Very Elegant
Cons: A little expensive

Review: This is a good club with a decent management. Best in the city for cheap lap dances- try IVY, Roxy or Angel. However, look out for Polly--she'll try to rip you off by charging for more dances than you actually got. In my case, she wanted to charge 150% of what she provided (2 dances for the price of 3). If you have a problem, report it to the management.
All of the girls were absolutely beautiful and very friendly. Hands down, the best strip club in the country. Feel completely free to disregard this review and never go there... more girls for me as I will definitely be going back!
Pros: Always been where the money goes
Cons: You have to be able to mix with the money crowd

Houston, Texas strip club Reviewby Insider on May 1, 2011 3:49 PM
Review: I went there with some of my business partners. We know the Manager very well, so we didn't have to pay any cover. This was on a Thursday Night. When you walk in the first thing you will notice is strippers and waitresses lined up to try to get your business. If you are looking for the club with the most and the hottest women, this is the one. I didn't see a single fat chick while I was there, and there are plenty of girls who were surgically enhanced with extra large busts. I would say there was at least 300 girls working that night. The ratio of girls to guys was about 3 to 1. As a result the competition for your dollar is very aggressive. Within the first 5 minutes of walking in, 3 girls had already asked me if I wanted a lap dance. If you even look in a girls direction they will start walking towards you. None of the girls wanted to sit and get to know you. They just wanted to make the money and move on. If you are looking for a calm place to talk business this is not the place. If you like high pressure clubs, this is your place. Personally it was too high pressure for me, and I will not be returning.
If you are looking for a club that is good for lounging, and sports, Go to the Ritz on South 45. The girls there actually try to get to know you, and are much more pleasant. The owner also takes a lot of pride in his club, and is constantly reinvesting his profits into the venue to make it better.
Pros: All the girls were hot, location close to the galleria. Good music
Cons: Cover is high, unless you know the manager, Very High Pressure. Drink prices are high, but not much different than most other strip clubs. Very limited free parking. You either valet the car, or park yourself and pay the valet $5.

Review: Their djs aren't good. They play a lot of R&B music and music with vulgar lyrics, which isn't good if you're trying to be upscale. The R&B music brings in the wrong kind of people too. The dancers and waitresses are rude in many cases. They don't seem to fire girls who talk to the ghetto types. They also don't seem to keep an eye on the ghetto and lowlife guys enough to make sure they don't do anything stupid. You can't be considered upscale when you have the kinds of customers and dancers this place has....no matter how much money you charge and where you're located.
Pros: location
Cons: music, customers

Houston, Texas strip club Reviewby dale on May 24, 2009 6:03 PM
Review: Went there with a bunch of business associates. Door girl was rude. We opened a tab, and by the end of the night, we seemed to rack up over $5k in charges. However judging by the number of dances, drinks and food we ordered, it should have been only $1k.
Pros: Girls were hot, Food and drinks were good, Club presentation as you drive up is good
Cons: Don't open a tab and give them you credit card. They tend to over charge you for services and things you never asked for or received. Club is very busy, and they lack any kind of special attention for regular customers. If you are not a high roller do not go here.
