Prize Dances

sinclair
Strip Club Nation
I see this quite a bit at the Deja Vu/Hustler Club type of places. They give you "a prize" when you get a lapdance. It is common at clubs where patrons need to be coaxed to buy lapdances. Here's a rundown of some of the crap I've seen clubs give away:
-Caps with the name of the club. (Sorry, I'm not going to advertise that I go to strip clubs.)
-T-shirts advertising the club. (Not my size and not something I'd ever want to be seen wearing.)
-Third-rate porn dvds. (This isn't even legit porno. Not interested in anorexic girls taking black dong.)
-Cotton thongs with club logo printed on it. (Why would a guy want this? But for some reason I saw guys going batshit insane over these. Mega PL's.)
-Hustler magazines (Not interested in the industry rag.)

I never have taken any of these from the club. Just not interested in souvenirs. If dancers are good at what they do, they should be able to sell themself without the gimmicks.

    If clubs are going to give anything away it should be: free booze and free lapdances.

    At Living Room in Dayton on Tues and Thurs is their panties night promotion. Buy 2 dances and you get to take home the dancers panties. Not too bad...

    However, at Dreamgirls in Columbus they run "mystery dances" during their dayshift where they if you buy a dance during this "mystery dance" promotion that the DJ announces, you can win a prize. It is usually a dreamgirls tshirt, which you can wear on Sundays for free cover, or a porn dvd. This is not too bad except for the bullshit that dreamgirls pulls. For example, if only 1 person participates in the mystery dance then they will announce something like "there was not enough people participating so we had to cancel the prize". That is bad customer service and just shows how lousy and greedy the dreamgirls management team is. This is also a club that advertises a free buffet on Sundays and Mondays but turned out to be false advertising. The management at this club reminds me of the dumb ass alcoholics from the show Jersey Shore.

    At Penthouse club in Detroit, they have Penthouse magazines up front for free. You do have a $7 mandatory valet charge, which happens to be the retail value of a penthouse magazine ($6.99).

    At Club X, they will give you a few free admission passes during their VIP uptime 2fer1 specials for your future visits so the dance kind of pays for itself ($8 admission * 3 = $24 value). This is a good idea, except for the fact that Club X gives out so many free admission passes that I am never motivated to participate in this special prize. They also have free admission coupons in a free local magazine called The Other.

    I wish St. James and some other clubs had gift cards you could buy online. I'd tell my family what I want for Christmas/Birthday.

    I like prizes but only the extras kind.

    I got a T-shirt from the Crazy Horse Saloon in Atlanta for buying 2 table dances during a special. Where can I wear it. Only to the Crazy Horse or one of it's sister clubs. I wore it to the Columbia Platinum Plus once. The DJ made a public announcement that I was rude. I did get an apology.

    The Platinum Plus also has the mystery dancer thing. They get all the available dancers on stage and announce a 2 for 1 lap dance special. If you pick the mystery dancer you get a second hour free in the Champagne Room. So it costs you $250 to the house for the first hour and you get the second hour free. There is a gotcha. That does not include what the dancer charges or tips to the hostess and waitresses. Like I said before, If the dancer is any good, why would a person need more than 20 minutes?

    I actually don't mind the prizes, especially if I get a 2-for-1, plus a visor or something. I have several visors from Scarlett's near Miami, which I can wear anywhere because only "Scarlett's" in white letters is printed across the front. The name could represent anything (I have one from "Shooters" too, which is from a restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, but also happens to be an SC in Atlanta). Lastly, I did get a Pink Pony t-shirt which is gray and made to look used/weathered, like an old sports team jersey. I like it and wear it out sometimes, and because it looks like an old shirt I might've worn in college, nobody's ever said a word.

    Sinclair; Mostly young boys think it's tough to show there friends some kind of trophy to proof were they went. At home they will hide it for there mother ;-)
    It's just advertising and extra income for the club; the girls won't see a dime from it.

    At Taboo in Anaheim (southern California) they regularly give away porn DVDs with dance specials and that's not for VIP, just regular LDs. The porn movies are mediocre at best, but I take mine anyway. I have walked out with a stack of DVDs that others have just ignored. Those are sent off to a relative who is too poor to go to SCs.

    I got a Patriots T-shirt once from the Foxy Lady in MA which was halfway decent. Whenever I've seen "prizes" being given out at a strip club, it was usually along with a set of discounted LDs as well, which I never had a problem with. So, I've got a few strip club logo T-shirts that I'll probably never wear or a few porn compilation DVDs that I'll never watch. I didn't go there for the "free prizes" anyway.

    I received a dark blue long sleeve botton-down sports shirt with dancer legs embroidered at the top after purchasing a private room dance from Dockside Dolls (now closed) in Columbus, Ohio. It wasn't worth the investment, either the dance or the shirt.

    gk, that Dockside dolls still is just an abandoned building with weeds growing in the parking lot. I met a TUSCL member who said him and his girlfriend wanted to reopen it but they found out that due to past criminal history there it is not eligible to receive a liquor license. Also mentioned that some idiots got onto the roof and stole the copper off the AC units. Pretty ghetto neighborhood.

    Hey gk, I also have Dockside polo shirt from my only visit there years ago. I dont' recall it being that great a dance either. The Diamond Lodge in Rootstown, OH occasionally gives you raffle tickets for buying $5 shots and/or $20 nude air dances and then draws one for a $35 gift certificate for the club. This is in addition to the usual 2 fer 1's, T-shirt, shot glass, beer mug, hat, free passes, sweats, blah, blah, blah giveaways that go on forever. I still have unwearable products from clubs that have been closed for years, like the Porcelain Dollhouse in Canton (now a vacant lot.)
