A lot of new clubs are currently being founded in NYC and London in particular.
They're expensive to run, so they often target a wealthier demographic who can pay.

You don't have to wish - these literally exist today, both in the US (see link below) and elsewhere. The problem is that they are expensive and hard to get in to.

NYC and London are both having a bit of a renaissance of new clubs being founded, although most of them are coed.

Not only are they legal, many male only city clubs exist today!

Male-only country clubs also exist although are slightly more controversial and less common, such as Burning Tree, Garden City, Butler National, Augusta National (until the last ~10 years), Pine Valley (until the last few years).
The unfortunate reality for most of us is that these places are among the most desirable and hardest clubs to be accepted to in the world - and we probably wouldn't get in.
