Grand Theft Auto Online allows its players to shape their own narrative in the crime world thanks to its implementation of various properties. If the player wishes, they can make multiple homes for themselves throughout Los Santos, but some are far more profitable than others.

GTA Online: 13 Great Cars You Need To Steal

There's no need to waste cash on the fastest GTA Online vehicles when they can just as easily be stolen for a joyous ride across Los Santos.

The Grand Theft Auto Online After Hours update, implemented in 2018, gives players the chance to purchase their own nightclub. Like most facilities available for purchase, nightclubs act as both a place for the player to relax and also as a base of operations for criminal activity. Owning and tending to a nightclub allows for some easy passive income to be made, but maximizing one's potential earnings requires a great deal of effort depending on which property is bought.

Updated on April 3, 2024, by Jake Fillery: Sometimes, there's nothing better than letting go of some stresses and dancing the night away, and what better place to do that than within the carnage of GTA Online's Los Santos? Players can purchase and enjoy the luxuries of owning a nightclub, which can provide them with cash and entertainment. Yet, players might want to hold their cash for the best nightclub in GTA Online, as they can get a tad pricey. Luckily, players can find GTA Online's best nightclubs ranked to discover the best of the bunch.

How To Earn Money From Nightclubs

By setting up a Nightclub through completing the required missions and upgrades, players can earn up to $50,000 every in-game day. This equates to half a hundred thousand dollars in 48 minutes in real life, so long as the player is in a lobby, and their popularity score is high throughout management missions. Popularity is an important mechanic for Nightclubs, and the higher it is, the better the cash flow. Popularity can be increased through a variety of different ways, like booking new DJs, managing the club, encountering celebrities, and more. Even better still, these activities are not limited to just Public lobbies, but for those seeking a quick cash payout, it's worth noting that the Nightclub vault maxes out at $250,000, so be sure to claim it.

Nightclub Upgrades

Not only can players expect a whopping cost for the Nightclubs across various Los Santos locations, but if they want to increase productivity and popularity, then they are going to need to spend money to make money, and there are a few pricey upgrades that players can find for Nightclubs to add on top of the money they will already be spending.

10 Elysian Island

Cost: $1,080,000

The Elysian Island Nightclub is by far the cheapest nightclub out of them all. Costing a mere $1,080,000, it will most likely be the most enticing establishment available for the player to purchase. Though the price is more appealing than the game's other nightclubs, its location is far from ideal.

The Elysian Island Nightclub is arguably the most poorly placed nightclub available to buy. Located at the bottom of the map on Chum Street, it is slightly too out of the way to be considered a viable business location. Not to mention that traveling to Elysian Island would be nearly impossible without a waypoint to guide the player.

9 Strawberry

Cost: $1,525,000

The Strawberry Nightclub, located in the very center of Los Santos, is presented as one of, if not the best, nightclubs in San Andreas but, sadly, it is not. Though its seemingly handy location should entice players to buy it, the player will rarely be required to visit its neighborhood, diminishing the need to set up shop there.

For $1,525,000, the Strawberry Nightclub just isn't worth it. On paper, it appears to be the most appropriate choice of the nightclub to purchase, but the missions required to upgrade the facility will become much more laborious due to its location, especially since it's a hotspot for potentially lethal players.

8 La Mesa

Cost: $1,500,000

The La Mesa Nightclub is a handy location for those who enjoy customizing their vehicles. Positioned only a small distance away from a nearby Los Santos Customs; gear heads are likely to adore what this establishment has to offer.

Purchasing this nightclub will require $1,500,000 to be handed over to Maze Bank Foreclosures and, though it's not overly extortionate, it isn't worth the price for its location. The Los Santos Customs that are spread throughout San Andreas are all easily accessible, making the need to purchase La Mesa Nightclub to use one somewhat unnecessary, and pricey.

7 Del Perro

Cost: $1,645,000

The Del Perro Nightclub is perhaps one of the most conveniently located nightclubs for those seeking easy access to the Pleasure Pier. Though there isn't much to do on the pier in terms of leisure, longtime players are guaranteed to make use of their driving skills there at some point during their ventures.

Not only does the Del Perro Nightclub offer quick access to Grand Theft Auto Online's more therapeutic features, but also easy entry to the freeway leading north. Unfortunately, the shocking $1,645,000 price tag will likely deter players from buying it, and for good reason.

6 Vespucci Canals

Cost: $1,320,000

The Vespucci Canals Nightclub is available for purchase for $1,320,000. Though its location is somewhat out of the way, there is no denying how aesthetically pleasing it is. For those who enjoy Grand Theft Auto Online's more scenic elements, the Vespucci Canals Nightclub is a must-have.

Those seeking a quick route to the top of the L.A.-inspired map will also likely enjoy how close it is to the beach. No more will they need to drive through the hectic city to reach their destination as this nightclub is situated only a street away from the freeway. It's a handy spot, but only for those with businesses up north.

5 Cypress Flats

Cost: $1,370,000

For those who enjoy spending their time at the LS Car Meet and indulging in drag race culture, the Cypress Flats Nightclub may be the perfect fit. It doesn't require too much of a journey to get there as it's located in the southeastern section of the city, making it a must-have for those seeking a somewhat quieter location.

Costing an appropriate $1,370,00, there are few reasons for one to not purchase it. The main selling point of this location is how close it is to the LS Car Meet, but those without access to it may want to opt for something more suitable.

4 LSIA

Cost: $1,440,000

The LSIA Nightclub, located close to the airport, is an ideal spot for those who enjoy piloting planes over driving cars. Though it's a decent distance away from the city, the nearby planes and helicopters make traveling to one's destination much less time-consuming than one would think.

Costing a mere $1,135,000, the LSIA Nightclub appears too good to be true. It's more than worth its retail value in the long run, but the traveling required to fully upgrade its income potential renders it slightly too remote to be worth the price.

3 Mission Row

Cost: $1,440,000

The Mission Row Nightclub, located at the heart of the city, is arguably the best nightclub for those who want quick access to everything on the map. The player can obtain this property for $1,440,000 and, considering its accessible location, it could be worth a lot more.

To maximize the profit brought in by the business, the player will need to undertake a series of missions. A great deal of driving is required to do so, but the Mission Row Nightclub makes the required travel somewhat less arduous. Perhaps that's how the nightclub got its name.

2 West Vinewood

Cost: $1,700,000

The West Vinewood Nightclub is the most expensive nightclub in Los Santos for multiple reasons. Its placement in the center of the city allows easy access for the owner and thus makes tending to the business that much easier.

It can be purchased for $1,700,000, but why purchase it when the nearby Downtown Vinewood Nightclub is $30,000 cheaper? There is no use in denying its handy location, but it makes more sense to purchase its neighboring club instead.

1 Downtown Vinewood

Cost: $1,670,000

The Downtown Vinewood Nightclub is arguably the most conveniently located nightclub in all of Grand Theft Auto Online. It's the second most expensive nightclub available on Maze Bank's website, but its price is worth the time one will save by owning it.

With it being only a stone's throw away from the Casino and close to multiple homes in the Vinewood Hills, its location seems too good to be true. Costing $1,670,000, it may take more time for the player to feel comfortable buying it, but it will make their lives much easier in the long run.
