$$$ Again
bumrubber
Getting back to a recent thread about how much we spend on "this," what about the rest of the outing, pre- and post- SC? Some clubs give free admission with sports event ticket stubs, golf scorecards, etc. Not to mention staying in Las Vegas hotels, eating out 3 times a day, gambling, and whatever else people do there. These things are expensive enough by themselves, without going to the SC afterward and spending another few hundred.
Do people really piss away thousands of dollars a day like this?
Now, I'm not rich but I'm nowhere near poor. I live in one of the most expensive zip codes in the US, if not the world. Condos on my street START at $1.1M. I've been around wealth all my life. My close friends, all 30-40-50 something, are internet entrepreneurs, technology executives, film/tv/media people, doctors/lawyers and senior engineers, and real estate investors and developers. Some big-time trust fund babies too. And NO ONE THAT I KNOW SPENDS MONEY LIKE THIS.

You say, "...thousands of dollars a day...", well no, not this guy, but hundreds, sure. Just not every day.
Now, mine is all local, with cheap motels rather than exclusive resorts, and no extravagant expenses fir meals, so that pretty much represents money spent on results, not incidentals.
mikeya02: $800/mo is basically what it costs to drive a really nice car vs. a serviceable one, play golf every weekend, go skiing, or other middle to upper middle class activity. So no, it's not a lot.
What gets me is spending this on top of all the other expensive stuff. Again, even the rich people I know don't spend money like that.
I have found that I can spend close to $900 on a single visit, and I have done that multiple times in a month. I know I should not do that, and most months, I have enough self control to not go at all, but once or twice a year, depending on other factors, I lose that control and blow a few thousand in one month.
When I had my mid-life crisis, I ran the numbers on the de rigueur fully loaded Corvette. I eventually decided to make what the payment would have been my strip club budget instead.
One good thing is that unlike a car payment, I could always just stop going to the clubs if I needed to for financial reasons...okay, that last part isn't true, but I could definitely cut back if necessary.
Most of my visits are like your, under $50. Only times above that are when I find a potential new dancer to add to my "favorites" list, or visit with a favorite. Typical visit to my local club, 2-4 beers at the 2fer price, $10. A drink for my favorite bartender, $10. $1 tips for the dancers tip walk, $15-20, and that is about it.
Typical visit with a favorite, drinks, $20-30. Dancer tip walk tips, $10. Dances with my favorite, $100-200. Now if I try a VIP room, that could go up, I assume, but not to that stage yet.
All said, still less expensive then owning a boat and going fishing, playing golf, etc!
The bright side is, I have $200 bucks a month that I would be spending on SCs in my pocket. Perhaps after a while and with opportunity a trip to Toronto might be in order. With SPs, MPAs and SC, there's plenty of fun to be had there!
If your SO finds you out, quite likely you would not have to worry about her any longer, would you?

lopaw,

Lets look at the possibilities:
1. She takes it as a challenge and tries much harder to keep your sexual interest at home! WIN
2. She thinks it sounds fun and wants to join you and maybe bring some of the girls home for some 3way fun! WIN
3. She apathetic and tells you to do what you want as long as she doesn't have to see/hear about it. WIN
3. She can't take it and leaves you...you're now free to do as you wish (though with only half the assets you used to have or worse). WIN/LOSS
4. She decides to hang it over your head for the rest of your life making you feel guilty while trying to humiliate you in front of everyone you know. LOSS
Depending on how you feel about her, your chances look good.
"Do people really piss away thousands of dollars a day like this?"
Um, er........... Yes.
May be any of u can suggest to cut down without cutting fun.
Prim0's #3 would have been the most I could have hoped for......but sadly, Clubber has pinpointed the most likely outcome for me. And I'll be lucky if she only shoots me!
