Rural clubs have treated me well in the past. It's my experience that, although the girls aren't always as pretty as the city clubs, they often offer high mileage and extras without being too pricey.
There are 34 clubs listed for Missouri on this website. Out of those 34, 12 have not been reviewed in over a year.
Here are clubs in the St. Louis area. Nobody reviews these places because they all go on the Illinois side:
Bear's Den -- Mar 2008 Tee Bar -- Aug 2007
Lake of the Ozarks, a popular redneck tourist destination, virtually unknown to non residents:
Eclypse -- Aug 2009 Night Moves -- No reviews Earth Angelz -- June 2009
Springfield, Missouri, which is not very big, but the biggest town between St. Louis and Tulsa on 44:
IV Play -- Apr 2008 Pink Cadillac -- Feb 2009 Spank's GC -- Aug 2008 Illusions -- Sep 2009
Elsewhere:
The Pony Poplar Bluff -- Dec 2009 Club Hots -- Jan 2008 Dimple's Juice Bar -- May 2006
I am certain that a few of these are closed and the site hasn't been updated. I might try calling each one on a Friday evening (unlimited nighttime cellphone minutes!) and verifying that they're still open. Next, I will finally have some time off coming up in a few weeks. I might try a short road trip in my own state, and visit some of these places.
Why? Maybe they offer a good value. They aren't really close to anything, but are close enough that they might merit a diversion off your route if you were passing through.
Obviously, I can't hit them all. I am not rich enough to do a thorough check of each club, and they are too far apart anyway. However, I am going to spend some time on Google Maps to see if I can plan a reasonable route to visit maybe 5 or 6 of them.


Good idea. Thanks in advance for doing the recon.
