For years, I've loved visiting strip clubs from coast to coast. From New York to California. From Miami to Portland. From Houston to Chicago. From Sin City to Atlanta. From the large and very expensive clubs in New York City to small run down and cheap clubs along I-95 in the Carolinas. (I do, of course, avoid those really shabby places where common sense tells me that I would be asking for trouble just walking into them). I see the ratings that TUSCL and other sites give to various clubs far and near, and frankly I don't understand most of them. It comes as no surprise that based on one's age, money to spend, and willingness to accept that you get what you pay for, the likelihood that you will walk out of a club feeling you've spent your money well varies considerably. As for me, I'm older than most people on TUSCL, I probably have an income that is at least competitive (although not even close to the incomes of the pro football and basketball players that I see in a lot of clubs), and I am certainly willing to spend the bucks that it takes to find a receptive attitude among the best and prettiest dancers.
Overall, I think the high end clubs in Houston are as good as it gets when it comes to facilities, quality and number of girls, food and drink, and mileage to be gained in the VIP rooms. It is true that LE was cracking down for a short while a year or two ago, but the girls in Houston always seem to find a way. And for the most part, management in the high end clubs tends to look the other way (with one notable exception). I will say that prices for extra performance in the VIP rooms of Houston clubs have gone up in recent years, but whether it's a HJ, OTC, or even FS with all openings available, you can walk out of the club knowing you have been with the best. Biggest challenge, of course, is not to fall in love with your dancer. LOL.
I would be interested to know if others have had the same experience in sampling clubs around the country and if they would agree or disagree. I always keep an open mind about finding new places, and since I'm going to be driving throughout the western states this summer (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado), I would love to get other people's suggestions on clubs and what makes them stand out for you.
I would welcome any private messages either about my experience or yours.


Folks’ preferences are all over the map – some folks’ “good†clubs don’t do much for others; and vise-versa (similar to the kind of women men are attracted to – it’s all over the map).
In general – I personally prefer upscale clubs b/c one gets better overall service – but yet I more often visit the dives b/c I tend to enjoy myself there more (less rules) – and also find the less-attractive dancers @ dives give better and often more spirited “service†than dancers in high-end clubs – and it’s my personal preference that I prefer high-mileage from an avg dancer that I still find attractive/desirable; than low-mileage from a knockout.
It can perhaps be equated to dining out – some folks like nothing but the finest upscale dining establishment and some prefer joints that are not much in amenities but the food is good/tasty – whereas some high-end dining places may be high on aesthetics; but the food may not be all that.
