How to entertain yourself during an airport layover?
Electronman
Too much of a good thing is never enough
Lots of travelers end up with 1 to 2 hours of time between connecting flights. This includes a sizable number of business men who are traveling solo. What could the airports provide for entertainment?
My first thought would be airport-located strip clubs (or massage parlors), good for a drink and a lap dance during layovers. I know that a few strip clubs are located near major airports and sometimes provide shuttle service to and from the airport. But going leaving the airport to travel to a strip club is more complicated-- luggage and clearing security.
Any comments on whether airport based strip clubs would be a viable business model?

Twice when traveling for work - a coworker asked if I would go to a strip club (with a bunch of other guys from the bank) - I declined both offers. The odd part is - both of my flights ended up being cancelled - and I ended up sleeping in the airport overnight. I’ve now decided - if there’s an opportunity to hit a club (near the airport) - I’ll take it.
While I'd certainly hit up a club in an airport in right situation, it wouldn't be often. Considering it would only make sense in a layover situation, even if I had a stop 100% of a time that would be only 33% of my airport visits. I usually fly direct, and when I don't the layover is short enough where I barely have time to get from one gate to another or maybe grab a bite to eat between longer legs. Overall, I'd say the situation for a SC visit is right in less than 1% of my airport visits. Maybe I could probably bump that up to 3% if I knew for example that Follies was inside Hartsfield-Jackson and scheduled flights with a couple hour layover intentionally. That's a low percentage for a guy who does a good bit of air travel and strip clubbing, kinda the ideal customer. It would get worse if it was a less attractive club in an airport that wasn't a regional hub.
As far as what I do for entertainment? If I'm in an airport long I usually grab some food and catch up on email or phone calls.
I think this should be at the PDX airport. They already have “food trucks” inside there to show off their Portland pride. A dive club would fit right in.
I would make a connection in PDX flying from ATL to DTW if PDX had the right kind of dive strip club
The password hasn't changed in at least 5 years. It's "Hoover"
To kill time I usually will get one of those shitty chair massages. I don’t like sitting at airport bars because it seems I always get stuck next to a lunatic that wants to tell me their life story.
True. :/
The best I can hope for (idk where to find this information) is that rent there isn’t too bad. PDX prides itself that the food in the airport is the same cost as locally, and I’m assuming there’s a reason they don’t have to charge so much.
I have also seen a massage place at the San Francisco airport. I was tempted to do it, but then I had to remind myself that if I really wanted a massage, then I can get one done at my school for more time and less money.
Impulsivity is highly underrated. I started off buying the stuff on display at the checkout line at grocery stores and worked my way up to overpaying for dances with the waitress.
Of course, getting the strippers through airport security would be fun--- if they'd strip down to a G string for TSA checks, that would be fun and might be a great recruiting tool for TSA.

Huh? Universal? WTF!!!
Try $10
Why are you driving up prices?
I would like a strip club only if to get away from the screaming children tho.
ha ha - its full of grouchy sales guys and sub par service.
International lounges beat the crap out of AA and United domestic lounges. AA's Flagship is just ok.
Sure. It's not.
