The 4 Hour Rule
IWantHerOnMe
I'd live this way again
I don't know if this is only true of my area but I feel like strip clubs change every 4 hours. It's like a different business at different times.
Noon to 3 - Cheapest time, older crowd, music turned lower, everyone is there for dances as opposed to drinks or whatever else, way more extras and mileage, PLs know the non dancing staff and tip the staff, dancers ages 26-40 plus, more regulars.
4 to 7 - Price for cover/parking may go up some, crowd still older, music louder, more guys there to chill and drink as opposed to get dances, still a lot of extras but touch and go mileage, less people know non dancer staff but still tip, dancers range 22-40 plus, still lots of regulars.
7 to 11 - Prices go way up, crowd gets younger and more hip, possibly a walk through of a celeb, music will murder your soul in volume, some people there to just be seen or make it rain, way less extras/dances/mileage, people know there friends and no staff, tip the dancers and maybe not the staff, dancers range from 18-early 30s, not many regulars.
Midnight to 3-4 am - Prices are higher than Pookie, crowd is mostly 21-30, possibly a walk through, music will cause ear bleeding, people there to be seen and making rain on whoever, shockingly little mileage and sometimes even nudity, almost nobody knows most staff just there click, no dancers that can't pass for 25, and almost no regulars.
How do clubs in your area change depending on the shift?

Noon to 3 - 1-2 dancers wandering around if you're lucky. No one on stage.
4 to 7 - Finally some dancers show up and start working.
7 - 11 - The only time really worth going.
Midnight - AM - Terrible Dancer/PL ratio, and it closes at 1:30 AM
Noon - 3 - Amazing, and good deals
4-7 - Amazing but with even more chicas
7-11 - You might as well be in heaven at this point really
Midnight - early AM - Still incredible
One other thing to note is usually around 6pm the manager switches, and the night manager often enforces the rules regarding contact and mileage much more strictly than the day shift manager.
Yes, yes... only the "bad people" are at the casino at 5:30AM on a sunday morning... guilty as charged!
The cards play better... the winning goes up.
He wasn't sure if it was psychological... or the decks shifted after running through the overnight decks... I don't know... something sounded like it might be true...
I just know that my winnings did noticiably change... I won more hands for more money at certain times...
Any thoughts on if this is true.. and why it might be?
Many clubs try to mitigate this slow period with happy hour promotions for the guys and discounts on house fees for the girls. This works well in some clubs and not so much in others.
Plus there’s still less regulars on swing shift. Early shift is slow but it’s all spenders. I agree that it’s the deadest time.
Mid to AM is the younger under 25 crowd. They arrive in groups of five to ten and were probably bar hopping earlier. They look lost and don't seem to know why they are there. It's the place to be, I guess.
I'm out of the club by the time the "happy hour" crowd shows up.
In my experience lately.
Day shift is pretty much gone. The places that have it its the most beat girls and broke tricks
Start of night shift. Very few girls. Mostly blue collar guys and guys getting paid in cash getting off work. Happy hour prices.
Early night. before midnight. Its slow. Crowd thins.
Late night. More of an after hours vibe. Or completely dead.
To keep girls working lots of clubs require girls to work a few day shifts so they can work nights. Require them being there for their full night shift or fining them.
Lots of promotions are scams now. Like great happy hour prices but needing to buy hookah to sit down. No happy hour pricing on dancer drinks.
As far as dancers go. Day shift is for beat hardened hoes.
Night shift starts out okay. Everyones high af by like 1 am. A smart girl can make more money selling drugs in a club than anything else.
Then gets busy until rush hour over
Then quiet for a couple hours
Then post-dinner busy
Then party busy
