The Hustler Club in Las Vegas is not owned by Larry Flynt. However, the Hustler Club Las Vegas does have a licensing agreement with Larry Flynt's company, LFP, Inc. This means that the club can use the Hustler name and logo.

Larry Flynt died in 2021, but his company, LFP, Inc., continues to operate the Hustler Club in Dayton, Ohio. The company also owns and operates other businesses, including Hustler magazine, Hustler Hollywood stores, and the Hustler Casino in Gardena, California.

Larry Flynt did not own the Hustler Club; he founded Hustler magazine and built the Hustler brand, but the Hustler Club chain was launched and largely operated by other investors who licensed the Hustler name and imagery from Flynt’s company. Flynt and Larry Flynt Publications (LFP) were central to popularizing the Hustler brand and occasionally partnered on promotions and licensing deals tied to clubs and events, yet ownership and day-to-day management of many Hustler Clubs — particularly the nightclub venues using the Hustler name — have been held by separate companies or franchisees rather than being directly owned by Flynt himself.
