Yoyoguy there are some girls who will openly discuss their pricing menu for the VIP rooms with you (I've been quoted anything from $300 to $1,000), but there are even more girls who adamantly claim they do not offer extras. Then again, those regulars probably aren't sticking around for just a show, so YMMV.

Second vote for Stairway. It's cliche for a reason.
Also a big fan of Sweet Child O' Mine and several other Slash solos, and I've always liked the solo in Alive by Pearl Jam, although I'm not sure if anyone else would put it among the tops of all time.

Mogul, I wouldn't recommend trying that, and don't forget Berkowitz is still in prison to this day.

Rattdog, totally speculating here but my guess is the theory of the crime is that she was so stoned out of her mind that she seriously did not realize what she was doing.

Very interesting analysis. I haven't been to a SC yet in 2024 (minor medical issue), so I still have a chance to track my stats for 2024. I don't think I'll be able to replicate your level of detail.
What I'm attracted to more than anything is smaller women. It's fine and well to ask their age, eye color, and cup size, but I'm sure no one on here (including me) is dumb enough to ask a dancer her weight. Any thoughts on how to work that into the data set? Just a general guess of her proportions?

Destiny, Jasmine, Raven, Vixen, Electra (although that one seems to have gone away), and of course Mercedes. There's a bunch of them out there.
I always thought "Viagra" would be a good stripper name -- at least it's got truth in advertising -- but apparently I'm the only one.

Drew -- Way back in the day, at Industrial Strip in Hammond Indiana, there was a waitress named Stormy. She eventually became a dancer and took the stage name Ivy. But yes, her name really was and always will be Stormy!

These days, casinos. Before COVID -- well, probably still casinos, but the clubs were higher on my priority list. I went in August, for the first time since 2019, and was quite disappointed at how much they've ratcheted up the hustle factor.

The Admiral Theater in Chicago opened in 1927. It became an adult theater in the 1970s and added strippers shortly thereafter.

I'm also in a bit of an ATF draught, and I didn't think of it until you said it, but I think mine has also been about since COVID started. I know in my area (Chicago), several clubs have closed since then -- I believe none directly related to COVID, just coincidental timing -- so there's fewer options. Agree with JamesSD that it's hard to relate to girls so much younger than me, too.
I had one girl I was really into at Club 390, but she's been gone for a while and her IG is gone, so I assume she quit dancing.

Sounds like a shitty situation and sadly it's easy to believe, but to be fair I've noticed the mandatory jacket check sign at 390 for years. Still sucks, but it might make you feel a little better to know they weren't singling you out.

ilbbaicnlKeep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
LOL -- I read that headline and knew exactly who you were talking about.

Thanks for the detailed review.
What you describe is what I used to experience at Palomino later in the week, starting maybe Wednesday or Thursday through Saturday -- limited touching, only light grinding, high upsell to the private rooms. Earlier in the week I found that the girls were much more open-minded. We're talking several years ago -- roughly 2014-2016, when I lived there -- so I don't know if that's still the case (and I haven't been to Vegas at all since before Covid, and based on the entry fee it sounds like they've become more aggressive overall). But I notice that your visit was on a Friday, so it would fit that pattern. If you get a chance to go on a Monday or Tuesday, it might be worth a return trip to see if you get better service.

With Hulu, Prime, and other streaming services, I don't miss shows much because I re-watch them whenever I want. But I cannot find NewsRadio or WKRP anywhere, and would very much like to relive those shows. Also, two shows I watched regularly when they were on, that both ended on cliffhangers that I wish could have been resolved: Alf and My Name Is Earl.

Gassbag, you say none of this "is at the cost of the dancer." Yet your joke -- to the extent someone can even call it that -- relies on the dancer being generally undesirable; otherwise it wouldn't be funny to you that someone else would be interested in her. How in the world is that not at the cost of the dancer? I'm on Team Skittles on this one, along with almost everyone else who posted -- she did nothing to deserve you dragging her into your weak attempt at humor. The fact that she posted the photos has nothing to do with it.
And if you're too dense to understand this or anything else that everyone here is trying to explain to you, can you at least look through the thread and understand that you're in an extreme minority on this one and stop trying to defend it?

I've written fewer than 10 checks in the last year, and they've all been weird one-off stuff: Donation to the family at a funeral, electric bill when I moved out of my apartment because ComEd's online system wouldn't take a payment under $5 (even though the bill was for just a couple days so it was less than that), parking ticket in a horrible suburb that's too small to have an online payment system, etc. At some point I'm going to need to write a check and realize it's been months since I knew where my checkbook was.

As a long-time Illinois fan (and alum), I love to see you picking the Illini to go deep. However, having watched them all year, I'm guessing they're headed for another second-round exit, sadly.
My Final Four are Duke, Arizona, Kentucky, and, oh, I don't know, Villanova.

I was there within the last two month, on a Thursday afternoon, and there were girls giving dances. I'm guessing it was last week of Jan or first week of Feb, based on when I had a free afternoon in my work schedule. I think it's still a little hit-and-miss, though.

Kind of in the opposite direction, but I once worked for a lawyer who had put herself through law school by stripping.

SUMMER -- Are you coming back to dance or just to visit? I see your pictures on here all the time and I would love to see you dance but I don't see myself landing in West Virginia any time soon! :)

I live in Chicago and go clubbing in the area. I can't speak to which clubs the girls will make the most money at, but I would suggest Club 390, Atlantis, and Ocean are at least safe to work at. They're in blue collar areas but not really high-crime areas. Admiral probably is safe to work at too, assuming they have security watching you in from your car to the club (the neighborhood can be a bit sketchy, as others have mentioned). Heavenly Bodies is in a pretty safe area, although I don't know if people even go there anymore. Polekatz also should be OK. Stay away from the Mannheim clubs (Carl's and Louie's Lounge; Bobby's no longer offers dances); they're not a great area and they're complete dives where I can't imagine you could make any money.
As for the city itself, the myth of Chicago as a dangerous place used to be terribly overblown, but unfortunately crime has been getting worse lately around here, even in most North Side neighborhoods (which used to be really very nice).

founderslip a dollar in her g-string for me
Founder, thank you for the insight into what you're looking for in a review. Honestly, it's very helpful.
One humble quibble, though: I don't quite understand this site's emphasis on a club's physical details such as layout, size, etc. Those don't change very often, so you run the risk of reviews getting repetitive. And when a club does undergo a major remodel, it seems like the reviewers are all over it without prompting. That said, overall I love the site and rely on it regularly.
