The V-Club is an illicit virtual reality club, not the only one of its type, accessed by the holoband.

At the V-Club, the rule is "no limits"--group sex, drug use, and violence (albeit virtual) dominate. It is frequented by many people, especially teenagers looking for somewhere to indulge themselves in all sorts of unsanctioned activity.

Zoe Graystone and Lacy Rand originally attended for some of these activities, but they later came to view the V-Club as a sign of the Twelve Colonies' descent into hedonism, decadence, and ennui. Zoe later creates a separate chamber that can be accessed from the V-Club, where she interacts with her holographic avatar, Zoe-A.

Sometime after the Maglev 23 bombing, Lacy brings Daniel Graystone to the V-Club, showing him such areas as "the kill zone" (where one can "shoot their friends, shoot the Prime Minister, shoot themselves, whatever"), the fight room, group sex dens, drug dens, and an area for virgin sacrifice to Hecate, as well as mentioning "the really gross stuff" beyond. She then gives him access to the chamber and to Zoe-A (CAP: Caprica pilot). This chamber and other sections of the V-Club become Zoe-A and Lacy's primary meeting place. Zoe-A also uses the club to arrange her first face-to-face date with Philomon (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy").
