How are Milwaukee and Chicago? Maybe Minneapolis too?

Hurley WI pretty much hops and bounces from mid Nov through mid March. There are four /five clubs on silver street. I have personally seen dancers fill a crown royal to over flowing after one stage set and other times I have gone in and the club is deader than a corpse and six dancers are sitting around all night. There are no house fees, $5 per lap dance to the club, no djs and little or no tip out. PM me if you want more info. I’ll be there again this weekend.

Are the roads full of potholes up there especially in the winter?

Chicago is the worst strip club city I've ever lived in. I hear Milwaukee and Minneapolis are terrible too. I recommend Detroit, the jewel of the midwest. The area doesn't have that much snow and the cost of living is low. The dangerousness of Detroit is exaggerated, and the clubs in the suburbs are safe.

I, of course, am looking at this question from the customer point of view. Dancers may feel differently.

Chicago may suck overall but when I visited last fall, Atlantis was an excellent club. It is pretty far from downtown (~45 minutes?) but I had a great time and definitely would return.

Funny how I destroyed an airplane shitter in Minneapolis!

^^^ oops wrong account

Waaah I wanted to go to Chicago. I posted up online asking about it and more than one replied that it’s been terrible this summer and a lot of dancers have been commuting elsewhere, especially St Louis, and advised me not to bother.

One girl said she’s been commuting out of town every Thursday through Saturday for the past seven weeks. And said at the moment, netting $200 is a great night in Chicago. (Probably a good city to run the System rn lol)

Heard Milwaukee is slow at the moment too from the same discussion but meh it’s summer. I’d have to ask for more details. ——— Hopefully that doesn’t mean St. Louis is too saturated right now either with Chicago girls but I’m still giving it a try. Money wise it would probably be safer for me to stick to Dallas I don’t wanna deal with Texas upper 90s anymore.

(Why I was so bummed out with Chicago being a no go, cause the weather there seems great rn)

In Minneapolis the one club I tried out I thought was decent enough.

Sure I griped to you in PMs that it’s not the kind of club you’re going to bank in, but on the other hand it’s not the kind of club you’re likely to fall into too low of a number either. I’d say it’s realistic to expect $250-$450 per five hour shift. The club culture may be odd but it allows for a lot of consistency.

And it’s definitely clean for sure, with it being enforced. One dancer came up to me in the dressing room and basically told me to chill out on grinding on the customer so much in VIP. 😅 Towards the end I was starting to put more air in my dances.

As a customer the clubs in Chicago are garbage if you are from a place like Texas (I speak from experience). However there are a ton of clubs in South Chicago and just over the border in Indiana that are better for customers.

Multiple girls that work at a club I go to ~monthly or so in Hammond, drive down from Chicago because the money there is better.

So if you were to visit/work this area, keep Indiana and the South Chicago clubs in mind.

I would just turn around based on the accents alone. It’s rough.

Pole Katz is not too bad, at least from a customer perspective. Don’t know how the club deals with dancers.

"Waaah I wanted to go to Chicago. I posted up online asking about it and more than one replied that it’s been terrible this summer and a lot of dancers have been commuting elsewhere, especially St Louis, and advised me not to bother. "

Maybe she just doesn't want you as competition!

^ This was on a Facebook group and I could see her photos. I doubt that.

I do think, online at least, dancers are pretty candid when talking about general market conditions in larger cities. It’s when somebody finds a smaller city & individual club goldmine in there that they are less apt to tell others (and blow up their spot).

That's so crazy about Chicago. I was under the impression it would be great for strip clubs in the summer...I have a friend who just visited there for something besides clubs and he said the city is super busy and full of tourists everywhere right now. He said he's encountering more tourists than actual residents. He doesn't go to strip clubs though so no idea on that.

Blahblah is going to kick Chicago's ass

@blahblah The prices in the city are stupid imo. To be fair I'm used to Texas (from there, i still visit multiple times a year) where dances are $20, it isn't air dances and you won't get kicked out for touching a girl's thigh too close to her butt. Not saying every club is this bad but Chicago is known for being very low mileage on dances if any - and then lots are byob.

I think there is money being spent there but as a customer it just seems lame. I go down to just over the border to Indiana and it's a blast - and I know the girls there can do well. I have the proof from a declining bank account!

It isn't that far - ~25 miles from downtown Chicago so it's an easy ride share trip if you were trying to also spend time in the Chicago city to enjoy the summer.

Look up an escort, ex porn star, Becca Blossoms. Not overpriced, and a better deal than the strip clubs.

Only place on that list I've danced at is Chicago.

In Chi city limits there is VIPs, Admiral Theater, and Pink Monkey.

VIPs used to be THE spot to make money about a decade ago, then to keep their liquor license they had to make strict regulations and now to work there, girls have to wear weird liquid latex bras and underwear that is unflattering, and it's not as busy. I got hired there but opted to go to Admiral instead.

I'd only recommend Admiral on weekends and theme nights. Weekends at Admiral are generally pretty busy and if you HUSTLE, you can leave in the high hundreds or over a thousand after tipout, but you'll be tipping out like $200+ on the good nights, but the money is still worth it. They have hotter girls than the average club, most are thin white girls but there are some Asians, Latinas, and a few black girls. You wear gowns or cocktail dresses except on theme nights (costume night and lingerie night). It's a fully nude, no alcohol, low contact club.

Right now is a great time to go to Chicago. The city itself is great in summer, and Chicago is one of the few places where the strip club business is good during summer, and they have a lot of conventions in the summer which brings in a lot of customers. There are several shifts to pick, 7pm, 9pm, and 11pm I think. 11pm is the busiest but has the highest tipout. If you don't mind working a couple more hours I'd recommend the 9pm shift for a lower tipout, but staying till close (6am). If you do that on Friday or Saturday and you're cute and know how to hustle, you should be able to leave with about 1k around this time of year.

Just don't do extras, you'll get fired. If you're into OTC you can definitely try your hand in that, there are a lot of guys with money in Chicago and it can be a good place to land a sugar daddy or get OTC lined up with out of town business who are there for conventions, if that's your thing, but keep it discreet.

Pink Monkey isn't as established as the other two and I wouldn't see the point in trying it unless you're not on the slender side.

Sorry, don't know about MN or WI.

Nicespice, what Chicago clubs were these girls working at?

I had one girl tell me she usually mad $300-600 a night at Admiral, my friend and I worked there and both did much better than that.

My friend moved to Chicago and was used to Detroit clubs. When she started working at Admiral she pretty quickly had her first thousand dollars shift. This was like her 2nd or 3rd shift there, and she had never made that in Detroit at the time.

Admiral is easy money Imo, especially after midnight. The tip out is insane but you can still leave with good money. Way better than Scores imo (which isn't in city limits but is still considered a Chicago club by many).

I think strippers are just getting lazy. I've always thought of Chicago as one of the better cities to dance at in summer time, since most regions are pretty slow around that time.

Ok do you stay in a hotel and just uber/taxi everywhere? Is public transit there unsafe? I wouldn't wanna deal with their traffic and driving around in that mess.

Would you say Chicago is ever not really great money certain times of the year?

One of them works at Ricks (used to be called VIPs) another one, not too sure. But both of them said girls have been commuting en masse out of there for other places to work and doing decent enough in those locales.

The VIPs girl says she works just the bare minimum to fulfill her contract to stay at her club but is otherwise out of town.

I looked up older posts when other dancers were asking about Chicago and I think most of the money downturn was starting this spring of 2019.

Nobody had anything bad to say about Chicago before then (except from girls who don’t like working in cities) previously.

And during years past others also backed what was said about it being decent during summer.

If I were to venture to guess this may have something to do with it, but not too sure. chicagotribune.com

Which makes me sad. I’m still likely to visit anyways, but I’ll do that just as a tourist and not a dancer.

Oh jeez

Yeah. Current temperature Dallas 92F Current temperature Chicago 75F. That’s the part that makes me most sad.

I’m going to St Louis (84F...so still better at least) and hoping it’s not too saturated from the Chicago girls.

And trying my hand at South Dakota, Iowa, or Wisconsin if it doesn’t pan out. Or if I just get bored of the area.

But I’m not even motivated by mega money (Dallas is doing well enough right now unless you’re at the Lodge. Which is pretty shocking cause that place has a great rep 🤨) I just want to enjoy myself.

"Would you say Chicago is ever not really great money certain times of the year?"

Chicago is NOT a good place to dance in the summer.

Ok, so VIPs is now Rick's? Because I heard the money at VIP went down like a decade ago. One of several reasons I chose Admiral over VIPs was because Admiral's earning potential seemed better. Even when there aren't big spenders there, it's high volume enough that you can do lots of dances for lots of modest spenders and leave with good money. VIPs was more champagne room focused, reliant on big spenders, which is difficult when there are clubs outside of city limits that provide extras. If VIPs/Rick's is the same as it was a few years ago, it's a low/no-contact club.

I think Admiral is probably still popping on summer weekends. Week nights, though, not so much.

Blahblahblah23 excuse me lol, I meant it is not a good place to dance in the winter!

Chi sucks in the winter. It is busy in the warmer months.

Ok, thank you
