I prefer to go to higher end clubs. For me, they're actually not that more expensive if at all despite the common perception. For instance the dance prices at these clubs are about the same as the dives, even when factoring cost per minute, but i seem to get better if not much better quality in terms of service and talent. The VIPs/CR are "usually" more expensive, but i don't tend to do them unless i felt it was more economical to go that route. Yes, the drinks are more expensive, but i'm not a drinker and rarely buy drinks for dancers so that cost doesn't really hit me besides the one drink that i buy for the entire visit. Other things like bathroom troll seem like miniscule and optional expenses. The higher cover is real, but i've been able to get around those for the most part at the particular clubs in question. The valet is a different story. I pay that every time ($5 plus a few dollars tip, depending on things like weather, etc). This might seem like an unnecessary cost, and some people really don't want strangers alone in their car, but when i plan on spending several hundred or more, that cost doesn't really concern me especially when that is all that i paid to get into the club (and the one drink later).
For those of you that go to higher end clubs or won't because of it, what are your reasons?
