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!

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.
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." ;)
What do you think?
I'm more of a casual customer than these hardcore guys though.
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
If you have a chance to freestyle and see/sample the strippers in real life, BEFORE committing, I would do so.
I'd also want 3 dancers for 10 guys.
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.
