In-Room Stripper Tipping Etiquette

I am planning a bachelor party in Las Vegas in a few weeks and we wanted to order in 2-3 strippers for a night. We are well-versed in the culture of the strip clubs, but have never had strippers in a hotel room before. After the base fee you pay at the door, what is the tipping etiquette like for private shows like this? We're not exactly sure what it entails. How much money should we have ready? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

    Why not just go to a strip-club instead - IDK, but to me renting strippers is something that was done in the 80s & maybe 90s - having strippers to your room you won't get the vibe of a club (music, bar, dozens of women, etc) - and you probably will pay more for less renting strippers especially if you go thru an agency (and you may not really know what you are getting when she/they show-up, at least in the SC you can see & interact w/ the talent prior to investing funds).

    That's true and that's why we definitely have done strip clubs so many times before. We're looking to make this weekend a little different and special. We're actually planning to go to the Rhino and other places the other nights... but just want to break it up with something different here.

    Well Nina gives a good offer, but I am not sure into your idea. It sounds very expensive.

    It's past Labor Day but right around the start of the NFL season so if you're going on the weekend I imagine Vegas will be pretty busy.

    I would recommend reading some reviews at TER (google it) and see if you can find anything out there. It would be hard to pick some girls out of a club, because they can make stupid money there on the weekends and the majority would feel unsafe going to a room (even in a group). Bad part is if you hire some agency you will probably get mediocre girls as well.

    I would get there and party it up early on the evening, like around 4-6PM. Most clubs like Sapphires and Rhino have good specials on bottle service and cheaper covers versus night time. I know it's not what you asked for but may be the best bet.

    To the best of my knowledge, most girls that are going to rooms in Vegas are escorting, not stripping.

    Normally I'd say ~33% for a Private Party in your hotel room but Las Vegas is already going to be expensive for what it is. So you might not have the cash to do that or whatever rate you are charged might already be high enough. but normally for private party I would figure anywhere between 20% to 50% for a tip.

    Keep in mind in Vegas, the strippers may very well end up costing you 2X what they would in a normal U.S. city.

    Good luck on your groom's bachelor party. Tell him good luck. I hope everything goes well. You're a good "good man." ;)

    So I called one of the services... and the packages run from $200-$1000 for 2 girls. Split between 10 guys, it really wont be that bad. Then they told me... each guy should have about $30 in singles to tip for the hour show. Afterwards, it's just dances for $20 a pop. Sounds reasonable and not as crazy as you guys make it.

    What do you think?

    I've talked to a couple of girls that have done them and they told me that they got $200 for showing up and extras were available in the bed room for $200-300 but this was not Vegas.

    That sounds reasonable to me. I'm more of a fan of private parties for bachelor parties, myself. I'd figure $100 --.> broken down as -->, $60 in singles and $40 in 5s as tip money for each guy for the hour, me, personally. Up to you. Sounds about right though.

    I'm more of a casual customer than these hardcore guys though.

    The deal sounds ok but often times anything related to sex & $$$ is shady business & they don't always deliver what they say they will - plus I'd also be wary if I'm getting the dancers on the pics they may show - at the very least see if there are reviews somewhere online about the agencies - not saying it won't workout well, but I'm wary of committing major $$$ when it comes to unknowns in the stripper game.

    Most of those are rip offs. Being a local, here is my suggestions:

    Find a few girls on day shift at one of the clubs and see what you can negotiate. You will get a feel as to whether or not they are for real

    Happened to be leaving the Aria a couple of weeks ago and saw these girls leaving from valet. Based on their advertising van and "equipment" they were loading up, I figure they are probably legit. http://analringtoss.com

    Much like escorts the strippers sent to you via agency are rarely as hot as the pictures show. Rarely. We used to put up with it in the '90s because we had little choice for adult entertainment.

    If you have a chance to freestyle and see/sample the strippers in real life, BEFORE committing, I would do so.

    My biggest concern would be finding a legitimate company, Vegas is filled with 'send girls to your room' scams and I can easily see that being extended to strippers.

    I'd also want 3 dancers for 10 guys.

    nina.... I thought you said you were a "clean" dancer and didn't do that stuff. But yeah she makes a great offer.

    Here is my experiences with the "hotel" type strippers. Again not in vegas but other places for bachelor parties...

    The set price to get them to the door is $X.... then like they told you have singles ready for tipping and have $20 ready for lap dances. Now that all seems good.... but here is what the kicker is....

    If you don't tip they get pissy and will stop dancing. They will bring out stuff for games (ie: toy shows, abuse bachelor, etc).... then you need to keep tipping to get nasty or they will say for $$$ we will do thing now... come on and raise money. Then if you don't... they get pissy.

    So it all depends on the guys you have with you. If they are cheap or don't have the extra cash... it will be a shitty experience. If the cash is flowing good... it will be a good time.

    It depends if you are looking for "extras" or looking just for strip club vibe. But what I would do is either look up on TER for the "extras" type thing from a pro. Or do like others mentioned.... do a recon mission the first night at a club... ask the dancers if they do the hotel party thing and see what they say. You might find a dancer who does the "extras" and also the club vibe. Could be a hell of a good time.

    If we had never had strippers to a hotel room, I'd have never gotten to see my now brother-in-law fuck a stripper with the nose of a pinnochio mask he was wearing. Mild mannered shy guys rock lol.
