I want to know how dance dollars work, is this a good deal for the guys? I'm headed to Vegas and I heard a bunch of clubs use them. Some guy told me Deja Vu and Rhino use them.
Dance Dollars

Even at a 1:1 ratio there would be no advantage to using them over regular cash
The girls hate it, and you get charged 15% percent extra. This is the well-beyond-suckers play
Yeah. The girls don't love it bc then the club knows exactly what you were paid, plus my club makes girls wait til the cc clears for certain amounts.
Its just another way to keep PLs in the moment. It has no advantage for the customer, but the club knows you will spend it in the same place.
They're a ripoff, you get charged about 15 to 20% and in some clubs when the girls cash them in they get about 80% or so - and never use a credit card in a club let alone vegas
And if you don't spend all the funny $$$ AFAIK you can't change it back to dollars so you're stuck with w/e you don't use
Nothing in a strip club is intended as a good deal for the customer.
I think it's a way for the club to take a cut of dancer earnings without extensive monitoring. I would rather use 1:1 dance dollars than have a monitor counting our dances. With dance dollars there is still a possibility of cutting deals with the dancer.
Are dance dollars easy to counterfeit?
^^^ some clubs are better than others at preventing it, but in the 90s there were a couple Atlanta clubs where it was notoriously easy to do.
Most places date stamp them and they expire the next day. It makes it more inconvenient to counterfeit and forces the dancer to settle up before leaving.
That sounds ridiculous! So you can't hand dancers cash? What would happen if you tried to?
Those kinds of places, also for Chumps. How many of these places are owned by the big corporate chains?
The places which sound interesting to me are:
Talk of the Town Club Lacey, BBW's, shares Palamino building Chicas Bonitas Club Platinum, real small place, shit hole BBW and SSBBW places on Highland, if still open Girls of Glitter Gulch, known shit hole, closed, but maybe a new one going?
These places don't use that kind of money do they?
At San Francisco's Crazy Horse, dance money is run through a reverse ATM machine. Even that stinks, as it means both sides have to pay taxes. It also means that front room action is likely regulated.

It's Monopoly money that the club gives you to use only in the club. The advantage is that you can buy them w your credit card, but they come at a premium. 80 in dancer dollars costs 100 at my club.
