There were Playboy Club resorts in Jamaica, New Jersey and elsewhere.
The clubs offer cocktail bars, with Playboy Bunnies serving drinks and food, and live performances.
At $25.00 per year per membership, Playboy earned $25 million for every 1,000,000 members.
This revenue stream was critical to the development of the Playboy empire.
The first Playboy Club in London opened in 1965, following legalization of gambling in the United Kingdom.
The club on Park Lane was also the first Playboy Club in Europe.
However, it was not all singing and dancing.
The London Playboy club closed in 1981 after its gambling licence was not renewed.
The Playboy Club will return to London on Saturday, 30 years after the original closed.
