Go big on biz trip or keep $ local?

Sodom or Gomorrah?

The answer to this question depends on where in Ohio you normally club (Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton) and how well you know Chicago club options and how you intend to get from A to B while there.

Chicago? That is a waste of money. Spend your money in Ohio. Better yet, make a stop-over in Detroit and experience some real fun.

Part of the issue in Chicago is I'll be in the Central/North Loop area and using taxi or Uber. So I can't easily get to the further out clubs. I've been to VIPs, which seems to now be rebranded. Haven't been to Pink Monkey yet.

In Ohio, I'm mainly in CLE.

IME Chi-town is a SC wasteland. Take your money elsewhere. IMO you'd be better off spending where you can be a repeat customer.

mjx01, you're probably right. Is the local government so difficult I'm Chicago that nobody can run a fun club? You'd think someone would open one that makes a killing with business travelers.

Chicago??!!

Go to Bangkok where you can get drunk and wake up next to a tiger ladyboy for $10 US. Or $5 US if your name is rick!!!

Silly hairless ape. And before you say anything about my advice: you’re welcome.

ROAR!!!

If you are staying in the city and transport is uber or taxi I'd pass altogether. The three clubs in the city of Chicago are low mileage, high price. You'd need a car to get to the better places - unless you dint mind 45 min uber rides.

I only spend at home. No reason investing into something that can't become a regular thing.

I'll likely hit a few bars and maybe stop by one of the downtown clubs just for a drink with a view. Not spending on VIP time in Chicago.

You know what I've never done? Ordered a stripper to dance in my hotel room. That could be fascinating, or likely awkward, since they generally perform for parties.

I've always found visiting new clubs to be part of the fun of traveling. With that said, my own experiences in Chicago clubs mirror the bad ones reported by others. So instead I clubbed in Harvey IL the last time I was out there and I had fun. The clubs there are full nude with alcohol and the girls are a mixed bunch. But it's a hike with traffic, so I always planned one hotel night out there and returned into the city the next day.

First time PaulDrake has posted something that I agree with!
