Get your priorities straight.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I usually don't read reviews of clubs I don't intend on visiting in the near future, but I was bored so I looked at the reviews for the Spearmint Rhino, the #1 rated Vegas club.

The reviewer wrote, "sat in Bottle Service area which offers a bit more privacy amongst the general seating area. Bottle service was $400"

Whoa....stop right there. Now mind you, I ain't cheap. If I had a nickel for every dollar I've spent in strip clubs I'd be a rich man. But I don't waste it on booze. I spend it on dances...er, at least that's what she calls it. Now I guessing, when topless clubs began back it the 60's, it was a way for bar owners to attract customers to come into the club and buy drinks. Now, I think things have changed. Going to see strippers is the objective and drinking is secondary. Now I don't care if you want to drink a few beers when you're there, but spending this kind of dough on liquor is crazy talk to me. I guess we all have different priorities.

Recently I have had several dancers tell me that they see a lot of customers coming in and not drinking alcohol. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one.I am there for the women. Not the booze.

Some people have more money than they know what to do with I guess. (At the other end of the spectrum is Payer11 whose income is so limited he needs to settle for $60 whores.)

IMHO, rarely would heavy drinking and a club experience be positive. Lots of bad things could happen.

For $400 at my favorite club, I could have BJ, FS, and my car washed and waxed.

For $400, my current favorite would spend the entire night. She's already done it for $300, so I'm guessing she'd almost literally jump at an extra 33%.

For $400, I'll give you a lesson on Marxism and the rise of fascism at any point in history.

@fuckhead_dancer: Sounds a little tryhard. I kinda doubt if you were capable of being a $400/lesson professor of history, you would instead choose to rub your ass on guys until they came on you for $50 or whatever it is you charge. Maybe I'm just a cynic though.

It's an art a lot of strippers don't seem to have any inclination in perfecting, conversation.

I was just kidding about being paid; fuck, I'll lecture you for free just because I like to talk about it, haha.

Dougster hasn't gotten over being "come upon" since that bukake party he had with his "uncles" when he was younger.

Oh, my, she certainly flew off on that one. Guess she's kind of sensitive about the whole subject of how she really makes her money, versus her ideal. So sad.

Please don't project, sweetheart; just because you allow jizz showers for $5 doesn't mean the rest of us do for any price. :P

anyway.....Vegas is the place for big spenders to pay $400 just to show that they paid $400.

I don't drink much in general, and definitely do not drink at strip clubs. First of all, I have to drive a fair distance to even get to my "local" club. Second, I go to see dancers, not get wasted. Any money spent on booze reduces how much quality time I can get. Also, getting drunk isn't a good combination when you can't afford to empty your wallet at a club.

FD, I completely agree with you that conversation is a lost art a lot of strippers don't seem to have any inclination in perfecting. Now I'm not a complete idiot and realize most if not all is stripper shit, but it is so much more enjoyable to have some conversation and flirting and feel some kind of connection (even if it is totally fake) than dealing with 'robots.'

Don't know what you look like, f_d, but for $400, it'll have to be a very interesting conversation. Like comic books. Or, maybe closer to your idea of a good conversation, the Fair Tax. :)

@mjx01: It's just something no one does anymore. I read somewhere that the average attention span for a HUMAN BEING nowadays is 7-10 minutes. When you're working a job that requires you to say more than a few lines, you gotta pay attention and you have to interact. Any good dancer knows that, but moreover, any person with common sense knows that.

@bear2k: The FairTax is interesting but a little vague, kind of like Paul Ryan's economic plan. :D

I'm don't drink so its not a big deal to me on alcohol and having to make a decision. But if I had $400 to spend at the SC, it certainly wouldn't be on drinks even if I had the disposable income. It would be on the dancers.

FD -- I'll talk history with you any day.

Fair tax: 18% on all income over 30k; throw in a few tax credits for having kids (willing to give larger breaks for two parent households); a home ownership credit if income less than 100k; no other loop holes. Also, institute honest accoung of how much FICA take actually takes out of payroll. Institute VAT on any item (excluding houses) over 100k in value.

A Priest, a Rabbi and a Marxist-Socialist are in an airplane that is going to crash and there are only two parachutes. The Priest says, “I have always followed the word of Jesus, so I should have one of the parachutes.” The Rabbi says, “I paid for the plane rental, so I should also have one of the parachutes.” The Marxist-Socialist says, “I would normally advocate allocating these out according to one’s means, but I’m afraid of dying and would like one of the chutes, please.”

Institute a sur-tax on computer based micro-trading. Re-institute the up tick rule so hedge funds can't bankrupt companies by driving down the stock values to zero. Outlaw credit defaut swaps. Abandon the idea of 'carbon trading' and go with a small tax on carbon emissions.

F_d, I don't know if you've read the two fair tax books by Congressman John Linder and radio personality Neal Boortz, but I'm not sure how you can say it's vague. I'd actually like to discuss it with you (it's a passion of mine) if you're interested. Well, I don't wanna spend $400 to discuss it with you, but I'll do it for free. :)

Mjx - the FairTax is more of an idea that removes all deductions by charging everyone a tax on spending, not income. Also, it has a "prebate" that eliminates the estimated tax on necessities based only on household size. Tjis allows poorer people to not be charged the tax on basic living. Plus, it removes all payroll taxes (social security, etc.) so everyone would take home alloftheir check (minus state taxes, if your state has an income tax).

Thread hijacked

Trying to de-hijack the thread...In California nude has to be no-alcohol so the idea of going to a club for the drinks is as strange as going to a bar for the nudity.

As for vegas, it is so commonplace to be coming home and saying that they lost X Dollars at the tables, so there is a built in excuse as to where the money went. I bet a great deal of the money 'lost at the tables' was actually spent on sexual recreation of one form or another.

For the hundreds of club visits, I have never bought bottle service. I would rather spend the money on dances.

Fair Tax is just another hashed over graduated tax. Plus, it does nothing to counter the un-taxed cash "market", or illegal cash. A consumption tax takes care of both. Also those that have the money for high dollar items, well they pay more so should help keep libs happy, if they could ever be happy. Problem is, libs couldn't use it to social engineer, which is their favorite thing to do!

Back to the original drinking comment. Guys you do realize there is a middle ground between nothing and getting shitfaced? I like to have a few just to relax, plus it makes it easier for me to talk to the girls. My current club I visit the most has $1.50 beers and $2.50 mixed drinks all day, every day so I don't really think it affects how much I spend on dances. And if we have a VAT, I'll be contributing to the U.S. tax base...win win I say!

An old guy once told me: If you want to drink, go to a "regular" bar; if you want to mess with the ladies, don't drink, period! Best advice, I ever got.

F_D - With the advent of Marxist Leninism, you can argue that Marxism and Fascism are two sides of the same coin. That's because both are variants of a broader philosophy affected by political and economic events and butressed by certain technological advances. I'd love to talk to you about that.

All "bottle service" is, is a way to extract more money from your wallet for the house and hopefully the dancer if you drink enough to impair your spending decisions.

In most places bottle service is indeed for suckers, with a couple of exceptions that I know of. There are a couple of clubs in the NYC area where bottle service will actually save you money over the bar tab if you have a full night planned. I want all of my vices when I go out - strong booze loose women and a good cigar or a few smooth smokes. Every night in a club is a little party.
