Chiefwiggum I read that to mean the rotation goes to the third stage in the reserved seating section, not back into the lap dance area.

They do have a $20 topless option but no one ever, ever, ever takes it, so all the girls assume you want the $30 full nude dance. On rare occasions a girl has asked me if I want full nude, which always makes me wonder how new she is.
Tip from a long-time 390 monger about the Wednesday special: They tend to cut the songs short. Three full nude dances at $20 each on Wednesday, gives you about as much time with the dancer as two full nude dances at $30 each any other day of the week. I'm sure you can do the math on that.

I tell them I'm a project manager. They have no idea what that is and they move straight to the next conversation topic. A few ask what it is, and I tell them "for IT projects," at which point I have to tell them "that means computers."
I am not a project manager nor an IT professional. I discovered very early in my legal career that there are far too many strippers who want free legal advice/representation. It's the only thing I lie to strippers about.

There is, or was, a stripper at Club 390 outside Chicago who walks around with a butt plug 100 percent of the time. I've never once seen her without it. I also haven't seen her in a while, but the last time I saw her was on day shift and I haven't been there during the day for at least six months, so she might still be there.

Could be lots of things, including guys who are embarrassed to disclose the actual dollar amount they tipped because they know it's way too high and they would hear about it in the comments on their reviews, so they go with the vague "generous tip" instead.
But I wonder if part of it is because prices of things generally have been unstable the last couple of years (not trying to get political; I'm just stating a fact), so it's top of mind for people to discuss it even if they don't use an exact dollar amount.

Oh, and Nikki Haley used to be super hot and still looks pretty good. And I would have at least considered voting for her if the GOP would have been smart enough to nominate her.

Kamala is not hot, but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote against her.
GOP has tons of hot women I would never vote for -- people already mentioned Noem and Mace, but Lauren Boebert is the hottest of the bunch. Completely nuts (and I'm not even talking about her politics), but smoking hot.
AOC looks hot compared with politicians. She's pretty plain compared with the general public. (And I would never vote for her, either.)

I always wonder how much of the hype comes from people who engage in extras here. I've never partaken because, as you suggest, the prices are quite high compared with SCs generally (though roughly in line with Vegas), and I tend to agree with you that it's overrated. Also this place seems to go through cycles with the hustle factor, where sometimes it's quite high and others it's more relaxed. I also think the hustle factor is generally higher at night than during the day. But I've visited Vegas only once since COVID (visited frequently and even lived there for a while before that), so my intel is about 5 years old.

I'm also no beauty, but then again I'm not asking people to pay me to take my clothes off for them. It's OK to hold strippers to a different standard of attractiveness than other people.

I've found on night shift at 390, the song length get cut pretty significantly. So three nude dances at $20 each is about the same total time as two nude dances at $30 each any other day -- and it's $60 either way. Any insight on whether they do the same thing on day shift, or are the songs normal length?

Thanks for posting. Definitely have some good memories of that place, but it wasn't good for a long time and wasn't going to get better.

I don't think I've ever backed out at the last second. Definitely had more than a few that I stopped after one dance because I just wasn't into it.
I have learned to forestall most bad rules by asking before we go to the lap dance area. At one club near me (Atlantis in Ford Heights), it's supposed to be nude but a lot of girls have a rule that they won't take off their panties until the third (or fifth) song. So if she asks if I want a dance, I ask her if it's full nude before agreeing. Similarly, if I'm at a club I haven't been to before, I might ask a girl "what are the dances like here" or "how much touching is allowed."
As for BO, well, my sense of smell kind of goes in and out, so sometimes I don't even notice.

mogul1985I have 3 lives: Work, Dog Shows and Strip Clubs
These days it's almost always alone. I'm in my 50s and most of the circle of friends I'm in now would be totally uninterested in clubbing. When I was in my 20s I used to go with groups of friends and/or for bachelor parties. There was a fun camaraderie to it, but I don't need that anymore, I'm going to clubs as a personal thing.
I still have a couple friends who would probably go if I asked, but we're all at a stage in life where any get-together has to be planned out in advance, and I'd rather just get in the car and go when the mood strikes.

Well, if you ever get arrested for seeing an escort, you're free to try all of those arguments in court.
But ask yourself this -- and honestly, you don't have to answer here, just ask yourself. If you really think what these women are doing is legal, then why do you assume they're laundering money?
As for why some escort sites haven't been taken down yet, they probably haven't gotten big enough to land on LE's radar yet. I don't recall if dearly departed Backpage billed itself as an "escort" site, although I definitely remember they tried to claim they were not a prostitution site. I'm pretty sure dearly departed City X Guide purported to offer "escort" services.

Rick, escorting isn't legal. Law enforcement views it as prostitution. They simply don't buy the story that you're paying the woman only for her time, and that a sex act just happens by coincidence. Police might or might not arrest you in addition to going after the escort and/or pimp. It could depend on a lot of things, including what jurisdiction you're in, but they absolutely COULD arrest you.
That said, if you pay someone for an hour of their time for a completely legal service like therapy and they leave after 30 minutes without a refund, that's generally going to be breach of contract (or perhaps fraud or conversion) rather than theft. I suppose it's possible for something like that to rise to the level of theft, depending on scope, but in a case involving just a few hundred bucks, you would have a civil case, not a criminal one. It might help your case to have a police report, but the police wouldn't arrest that person.
In terms of solicitation, that's the crime of offering someone money to induce them to commit an illegal act. So generally only the john is on the hook for that.
Bottom line, if you pay a woman with an expectation of getting a sex act and it doesn't happen, things are going to get worse instead of better if you try to get the police involved. Better to never again use that provider and move on.

I wouldn't recommend calling the police to tell them the hooker you hired ripped you off.
You gave her the money, so there is no way to stretch this situation into a criminal charge for stealing. You understandably feel like she took the money under false pretenses, but that gets into the world of contracts and fraud where any potential civil charge is negated by the fact that you were giving her money for an illegal purpose. Best case scenario is that the police don't arrest you for soliciting, but even that's not guaranteed.

Generally I'm OK with small tattoos but as they get bigger and more elaborate, they become a turn-off.
Related to that, I wish strippers wouldn't do things to their tits -- including augmentation surgery. I'd rather play with a small pair of naturals than two big rubber balls. And I really don't like nipple piercings. So yeah, a large tat covering a women's breast is probably going to turn me off. But it CAN be done right. There's a dancer at Club 390 who has a medium-size tat of a butterfly right below her tits, and the top of the wings aligns with the underside of her boobs. It really looks pretty cool.
That said, I'm well aware all this is an opinion. There's nothing to be gained by me going to a dancer's picture and telling her I think she looks horrible as if it were a fact. There's nothing "constructive" about criticism along the lines of "that looks trashy" or "you made a mistake."

Sinclair maybe that's how we can track them. As in, "Three of the 10 dancers were thin enough that I thought I could get away with asking them their weight -- but I still didn't -- and the other seven definitely weren't safe." :D

A long time ago Jimmy's Club in Chicago Heights used to market itself as much as a bar/restaurant as it did a strip club. A couple times I went in to look at some boobies while I ate lunch. But generally no, I have no interest in eating at a strip club.
Another time, at another club, I was talking with a dancer I'd bought dances from a few times and she mentioned she had to rush to work and didn't have time for lunch. So I bought her a meal off the club's menu. I thought about joining her, but really not interested in eating while clubbing.

Vegas makes strippers get a license. That's also not a perfect solution, but if the state is really interested in making sure girls are a) of a certain age, and b) not being trafficked, a quick-o license would be a lot more effective than raising the stripper age.

motorheadFat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
At Club 390 in Chicago Heights, dance prices are reduced in the afternoon. Dances are usually $30 nude or $20 topless, but at times in the afternoon, there's a small sign outside the lap dance area that says $20 nude / $10 topless. I think it's generally before 5 p.m., although I'm not sure they have a set time every day for the reduced prices.

founderslip a dollar in her g-string for me
Enjoy your well-earned vacation, I really appreciate all your hard work on the site!
One thing I would like to see, on the club listings pages (e.g. https://tuscl.net/listings/United%20States/Illinois), a line maybe below the name of each club that tells you if it's nude, topless, bikini, etc. I assume it's pretty easy to pick this up from the individual club pages, but if not, ignore me.
