I think Steve is correct that most veteran dancers work only 3 or 4 days per week. There are exceptions, of course, but I seriously doubt many dancers consistently make more than $1K per week.

Was in Memphis years ago during one of their famous ice storms. Power was out in much of the city including many SCs. My hotel, however, had power and was open for business. All weekend the parking lot of the hotel was crawling with strippers from the closed clubs trying to get OTC business from hotel guests. I think my record was three propositions between car and front door!

While I have only reviewed a couple of Akron clubs, I have visited several On the whole I on't think they are anything special. The clubs have a tradition of "table dances" for $5 that seems to be the norm, so much so that girls don't hustle for LDs. Pricing is also somewhat of a mystery. VIP dances seem to be priced a lot of ways, with specials occuring regularly. Some of the nude clubs limit touching with cameras all over the VIP. Have never experienced "Detroit level" mileage in Akron.

On the subject of "old reviews", check out the current reviews of Chix on Dix. There are identical reviews from "DrDoom89" and "Spartanpride". Each of the posters has only one review and just joined TUSCL this month. WTF?

All the best, Vince and all my TUSCL brothers!

Dancer here in Michigan goes by "Viagra".

While I rarely tip for basic LDs, I occasionally give an extra $5 if I have had four or more dances from the same girl and they have been quality. Extras depend entirely upon the city and club you are in. As mentioned above Detroit has redefined "extra" to become "expected." Orlando "extras" mean the dancer kissed your cheek. Best service comes on slower nights like Sunday or midweek.

Vince, I agree that IR is the place for mileage on the Space Coast. Sometimes, however, I ant a quieter club with less hustle and smoke. Blush can be that place but will never rate a 9 from any veteran PL.

Had an amusing experience related to this issue. As I neared the door of Bogart's I saw a gold wedding ring on the pavement of the parking lot. How it got there is a mystery, of course, but my speculation is that a PL decided to remove the incriminating testimony to his marital status and dropped the ring instead of secreting it in his pocket. I told the bouncer what I had found but did not give him the ring. Instead I left my cell number and would have returned the ring if the PL would have called and identified it. Two months later I decided to sell the ring for the gold. Got $65 that I donated to Salvation Army. Now I'm wondering what excuse the PL gave his wife when he returned home absent the ring!

I always offer a fine dinner, a small gift and an envelope with two Franklins. I also pay for the hotel, usually $150-200. She does not seem to keep track of the time spent, so, on an hourly basis I spend less than $100/hr.

I have little interest in anything a single poster has to say. Could even be LE.

For fun, check out what the pinkies at SW have to say about this. Some of these debutantes claim that touching a boob is an extra. If one could believe the pinkies and hardly any girl offered more than air dancing the clubs would be empty.

If Tampa's law says "stay 6 feet away" imagine how much closer you can get in Ft Myers!

I also wish dancers would refuse to take drunken customers to the VIP. Had a guy hurl all over the floor at Henry8 last month.

Rick- Thanks for the confirmation of my long-held view that stripping is not nearly as lucrative as the pinkies on SW assert. The fact is that many of the lovelies that we enjoy in the club live chaotic lives OTC. While many have invited me to "come on over to my house", I have always resisted. No I know why.

I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time so a "double team" is wasted on me. The girls who promote this activity usually do it as a marketing ploy that differentiates them from the other dancers.

All this Mother/Daughter stuff reminds me of a joke. A guy was sitting at a bar when an attractive 50ish woman came in and sat next to him. He bought her a few drinks and they had a nice conversation when she remarked, "Have you ever had a 'Homerun'?" "I've never been much of a baseball player," he replied. "No, silly," she responded. "A Homerun is sex with both a mother and daughter. Would you like to do that?" "Let's go!" the man answered and off they went to the woman's house. As they entered the house she turned to the guy and asked, "Are you ready for a Homerun?" By this time he was plenty aroused and said, "Let's do it!" Whereupon the woman yelled downstairs, "Mama, are you still awake?"

Sam, as I have noted in recent reviews, H8S has a nominal $10 day on Wednesdays but most girls take pains to warn that the $10 rate won't get you the mileage they are known for. Even if they agree to dance for $10 they will pester you for a significant tip so the net cost will be close to $20/per. The other Hamilton club in the area, John's Hot Spot, now has two $10 days, Sunday and Thursday.

Never bring a knife to a gunfight and never bring more money to a SC than you expect to spend.

One obvious answer is that some motels advertise hourly rates right on their signs. In general these are not major chain hotels but, rather, "Mom and Pop" local motels. Never hurts to ask.

This is all good counsel. If you are flying into DTW by all means stay near the airport. Hotels are intensely competitive whether using Priceline or not. Avoid the fleabag places as you can get better value at the major chains. (I would consider Motel 6 a fleabag) Both Bogart's and H8 will give you a free return pass that is valid at either club. I demanded a return pass at H8south the other day and they had to go search the back office to find one for me so I'm guessing they are not accustomed to return passes.

My favorite dancer name for a dancer that I have seen in person is Lotta Topp. The ironic thing about her was, while she did indeed have massive boobs, her claim to fame was a two inch clit. When I saw her as a featured dancer at a club in Saginaw, MI she came around to every customer and allowed us to fondle her breasts and then pulled down her G-string to show her mamouth clit. At this point we all forgot about her "Lotta Topp."

A pastie club I occassionally visit is John's Hot Spot. Local ordinance requires covered nipples but the mileage in the back is way above average and light years better than the local Vu down the street. Many of the girls who know me will peel off the pasties during their LD. Never had a great time in the Grand Rapids bikini bars. Swim suits on the stage and cameras in the VIP add up to lame experiences.

It's not the length or brevity of reviews that bothers me. We see many reviews that go on and on about the club,its amenities and the cocktail waitresses but admit they never got any LDs. For me these "reviews" are virtually worthless. Unless a club is so disgusting that one must flee, I want to know what goes on the VIP or lap dance area. If we are going to accept reviews that have nothing to do with the point of strip clubs we might as well accept reviews of the local Hooters.

Shangrila and Honey's in Gary always have a porker or two on duty.
