For some reason, Tootsies is the kind of place where a lot of the girls will not approach you even if you are giving them the eye – don’t know exactly why – but I got my theories as to why this is but will not elaborate here for the sake of brevity
although they may not approach you even if you are giving them strong hints that you want them to approach you; they will almost always politely say yes if you ask them for a dance
not to say there are no dancers that don’t approach custies – just that too many of them don’t seem to do it as much as they should
daytime dancers seem to approach custies a bit more but even then there are quite a few that stand around by themselves or w/ each other – yet if you ask them for a dance – they almost always oblige w/ a smile
there are a lot of hot looking girls IMO especially on weekend nights – BUT – some of these girls try to get as much as po$$ible w/o giving out as much as possible – so definitely test drive the dancer b/f committing to VIP
many girls at Tootsies are very skilled, and extremely convincing, at promising you the moon and not delivering a pizza – this is especially true w/ a lot of the Cuban dancers especially the ones that have been in the country less than two years and speak little English – could go into the possible reasons why but will abstain for brevity
if one really want to be in the thick of it per se – i.e. make sure one gets noticed by the dancers – a good thing to do is hang out by the entrance of the LD room – there are high-top tables (w/o chairs) by the LD room entrance and that is where a lot of the dancers hang out – it is also a good way to check out the talent walking out of the LD room and catch them b/f they get away.
[Note: there are 2 LD rooms – 1 daytime – 1 nighttime – the LD room I am referring to where the dancers hang out (day and night shift) is the LD room at the back of the main room which in unused during the day]
I am not into extras so I can’t comment much into this area – but it is fairly costly (not outrageous but not cheap) – and it is not as much of a sure thing as perhaps other clubs - I’ve heard my fair share of complaints about CR visits that were underwhelming – but I’ve also heard some good ones too
