Strip club tours

Have you ever been given a tour of a strip club on your first visit to the club? I can only recall it once. Probably 20+ years ago on my one and only visit to the Platinum Plus (closed) in Greenville SC. upon entering a dancer offered a free guided tour of the 29, 850 sq ft building. Everything from the men's room to the VIP rooms and ending in the Champagne room. Of course at the end of the tour their was a big push to get me to buy an hour in the Champagne room. That would have run at least $600 for the hour so I passed. But good PR work.

When I said no, she gave me a tour. The FC is fairly large, with an upper level. No pressure for a dance. I think she was just legitimately bored and welcomed an opportunity to pass some time.
The Chicago clubs have several pretty cool private rooms. The Executive club gives you the whole third floor including a pool table. It was pitched as two girls and private bartender for $800/girl for an hour. Hard pass but cool to check out. I did end up spending a bundle in dances and drinks so everyone did just fine.
I usually look for the hottest (IMO) dancer and approach her at the bar with “I’m new here; what’s the deal at this club? Dance options? Privacy? Touching?” At worst, it’s a good way to locate the bathroom. A few times they brush me off for their regulars, but I get that.
And yes, much like a time share salesperson, there’s always pressure to buy at the end. But if I don’t hear the right answers, or get vague evasions, I don’t worry about not getting a dance altho I will usually tip them $10-15 depending on time spent.
