Status of Stripping in Phoenix

For several years, Phoenix has been one of the better strip locales. It was a combination of $10 dances, attractive women, liberal mileage on the floor, high mileage VIP, and the renowned Hi Liter. I think those days are over, at least temporarily.

First, one of the better clubs, Centerfolds, was closed down after a bouncer killed a customer. Then, Hi Liter came under repetitive enforcement, making floor dances worthless and driving away dozens of veteran dancers ( their current location is a mystery). Following lots of recon on my part, Ive concluded there is no sign that any of the other clubs is stepping up to fill the void.

On the bright side, floor dances continue at $10 and there are still some attractive dancers at clubs like Bourbon Street. So, it’s not a total waste. But, the latest golden age of stripping seems to have ended.

    The flu will keep me out of the clubs until Spring, and I don’t believe I’m missing much.

    i think stripping slows down due to the marriage rates going down. i only go to SC because its a getaway from that life. NSA fun, and if i see any of the hoes in public, they ignore me. they feel im chasing them, and they dont make any eye contact because im a creep...lol...win. Looking at the crowds at HL and BSC its a bunch of retired snowbirds during the day shift, and girls adjust to the type of game you throw at them.

    I agree with your basic assessment of the status as I have been quietly reconning myself.

    The real fuel for the fire that is consuming the once fertile sc grounds can be traced to some of HL owners/management.
    The decision to hire the load of Cubans that have displayed counting issues was step in the wrong direction. And now the ID scans that are being inforced irregularly .

    At a time when Centerfolds idiot bouncer put a target on the industry in the valley, HL decided to do the following;
    Enlarge the VIP making it private from looking in from the floor.
    Allowed blatant disregard for any rules during the $10 floor dances, thus allowing anyone in the club to see activity that was questionable.
    Repeatedly pushed for a license to open the Centerfold location, despite repeated denials by the city.
    The above put a target the size on Texas on the HL Club itself.

    Many dancers have landed at Sugar 44, Chicas, and Scores. A few have made 2/3 week trips to other cities like Las Vegas, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Albuquerque, and Tucson their business plan. I have found a few are now moving into the OTC market.

    I have found out that the Christies location near the airport is bring remodeled to reopen by Spring Training.

    Just the humble findings and opinion of a once loyal HL patron that now finds traveling out of town more appealing.

    Since I started being a SC hobbyist, the North American economy has experienced five economic contractions (recessions). My casual emperics over time indicate that as the labor market deteriorates, the quality of dancers at clubs improves. If this thesis holds, the significant uptick in the business cycle in the past 15 months will not be good for dancer quality or quantity.

    @az rookie, valid points: if the economy is good, stripper quality goes down. i read a study that found if the economy is doing poorly, costmetics, plastic surgery, and women apparel goes up. think colombia, ukraine, russia...ect...

    Who knows the real reason for HL's woes - but it's not the first time, and probably won't be the last, that the powers to be go after a particular club in a city and pretty-much kill-it - who knows what's really going on behind the scenes for LE to be zeroing in on HL - pointing to VIP, reviews, etc, are IMO just mere suppositions

    No one likes the ones that look interesting to me based on online only, Eve's, likely membership required, and that can be good.

    HL was a victim of its own popularity. Nobody complained when a $10 floor dance got your hands and mouth on almost any dancer's tits, hands up your shorts to stroke your junk, over the pants BJs, sometimes even DFK, and a trip to VIP got an almost certain HJ, BJs from many, and FS from some, a course correction from LE was just a matter of time. The liquor license issue, coupled with reviews and discussions being too explicit added fuel to the fire. I miss all the fun, but veteran PLs will find a way to keep themselves entertained, either through club hopping, OTC, escorts, or looking for civvies.
