How Well Did I Listen to My Own Advice in Vegas?

<span style="font-size: larger"><span style="font-family: Verdana">My article on Six Steps to Strip Club success in Vegas was published about a month ago before my trip.&nbsp; I have written a couple of reviews, but thought I should follow up on my article - and maybe give myself a grade?<br /> </span></span><br /> <font size="3" face="Calibri">Tip 1:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Bring money &ndash; duh! (But maybe not as much as some people think.) You can have one hell of a good time for the whole night (I&rsquo;d say up to 4 or 5 hours) for $500 to $700.<br /> <br /> <i>Did that.&nbsp; For&nbsp;about a&nbsp;week&nbsp;in town, I spent 2 nights at a club.&nbsp; On the 2 nights at the club, that is exactly what I spent and it was well worth it.<br /> <br /> </i> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Tip 2:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Set realistic expectations</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">You&rsquo;re probably going to have a pretty damn good time at one of these places, but you most likely won&rsquo;t meet the woman of your dreams, get a phone number and dates outside the club, or get any type of sex even at the club.<br /> <br /> </font><font size="3" face="Calibri"><em>Well, I will say I did not meet the woman of my dreams, but one was pretty close.&nbsp; And yes - I did get dates outside the club, which is why I only spent 2 nights at a club.&nbsp; Is it the bad economy or am I just so damn charming nowadays?&nbsp; Not sure, but maybe things are a lot more flexible than my past experiences would have indicated.<br /> <br /> </em>Tip 3:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Just say no<br /> <br /> <em>I did plenty of this, which is probably why I ended up connecting with the right people eventually.&nbsp; I really can't tolerate an extended period of time with women I can't either listen to or talk to (or both, preferably).&nbsp; Two really hot pushy girls almost got to me, but I just said no because PUSHY is the WORST thing a stripper can be - this is when guys get to be selective - so don't let the pushy girls get to you.<br /> <br /> </em>Tip 4:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Put on your feminine side<br /> <br /> <em>This just means to make the person trying to get you to spend money actually act like they have some kind of interest in you or show some kind of personality.&nbsp; Nothing worse than a dead fish, stupid ass girl rubbing on you - ok - there are worse things, but not that you have to pay for.&nbsp; I did good.<br /> <br /> </em>Tip 5:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Strongly consider the sampler platter<br /> <br /> <em>Did try someone for dances one night simply based on hotness - not complaining at all.&nbsp; But hit the right connections, so didn't need to do too much sampling.&nbsp; It was close, though - one night I was about to leave and things just took a turn for the better.<br /> <br /> </em>Tip 6:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>When you find a connection, run with it and don&rsquo;t be a cheap ass bastard<br /> <br /> <em>Point taken and point followed.&nbsp; I did make sure I got 4 for $100 in the VIP - there is no reason a girl should not give you that - don't pay 3 for $100 (at least at Cheetahs) unless you simply can't resist - didn't see anyone there in that category.&nbsp; By doing this, ended up OTC and spending less on an evening than I would have at the club, with much more enjoyable time and company and much happier ending.&nbsp; Found two different partners for my time there - too bad I couldn't get them together at the same time - ah, life has its sacrifices.<br /> <br /> Won't give myself a grade, but I am happy with the outcome.&nbsp; I know some superstuds out there are going to tell me how pathetic this is, but HA! - don't believe you!&nbsp; If you're already at home with Gisele Bundchen, you're out of most of our leagues already.<br /> <br /> Still not quite sure if the down economy is getting girls frustrated with hanging at the clubs, but I wish the economy were always down if that is the case.&nbsp; All in all, this was a great trip to Vegas.&nbsp; Don't settle for pushy hustlers if you go.&nbsp; Find the hot but nice girls and have some fun!&nbsp; You deserve it!</em></font></p> </font>
