Shoot! Here I thought some near-mythological monger had spent the last several years traveling the world in search of the perfect lapper...

Had I been in the area, I might've tried to low-ball the face value of a ticket from a scalper. Otherwise, more dough saved for $10 dance day!

Well said, Rick!

"some clubs in the Detroit area" No, it's pretty much a clean sweep.

NOT THE HUGGER!!! Anyone who's ever been there knows you can slide right through the door from bright sunshine into a place so dark Quentin Tarantino would feel right at home. I wonder if he penned the first draft of Pulp Fiction while there?

DougS, Bogart's in Inkster had a gal who looked like your avatar pic last time I was in.

PHEW! Glad those guys are locked up for awhile. Hope there aren't copycats brewing. THAT was a little nutz... $120? Why for $30 more one can get the *twin double special* at Tykes!!

Newport Beach is a very nice area. Maybe his scam worked in working class suburbs, but he definitely bit off too much trying his routine in Newport.

But Sam, how much are the drinks?

I wonder whether they glow?

Much more of a nuissance is the advertising presumably allowed in Ontario. When I emerged from The Cannonball Cabaret, several advertising cards for multiple local spas were left on my car. Far more were strewn about the ground of the parking lot. Looked awful, and if I was a neighboring business I'd be ticked with the garbage blowing about.

UCONN and Kentucky have the followings of big money boosters. Butler and VCU (VC who?) are mid-major programs (hats off to their achievements!) but for strip clubs and strippers, well, they're not likely to have much of an impact for the clubs. Heck, Butler's enrollment is only 4,200. That's probably less than the NCAA's ticket allotment for each university!

Yeah well in Detroit I got charged $9 for a bottle of the stuff (and evidently it didn't do it's reputed job either!)

"At the special meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger that VCG entered into on November 9, 2010, with Family Dog, LLC" Family Dog playing the M&A game... wait, there's a company named Family Dog?! I wonder what lies in the footnotes of their financials??

HA! Mess with VM's club and that's what you get! Sounds like it's the AK-47 crew...

At least in Indiana it's a cheaper lesson learned: "Lenny's • Indianapolis, Indiana • March 30, 2011 Visited on: Tuesday Evening • Dancers on Shift: 1-5 Ratings: Physical Club: 3 • Dancer Quality: 3 • Dollar Value: 3 Lenny's is more of a local bar than a strip club. I arrived just after 8pm there was no one at the door and no cover charge. No music was playing and there was no one up on stage. I ordered a beer from the bartender $2.75-- no waitresses. After giving me my beer she yelled for someone to play the juke box and get up on stage. I was the only person in the "club" not in a relationship (aka pimp, baby daddy, or dealer) with a dancer. There were four girls total and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised with half of their looks. Two were just not attractive at all. But the other two, one was a soild 6 and one was an 8. That's right she was a diamond in this dark smokey poorly lit club. Girls danced to 2 song sets and I tipped the first 3. Yes even the fugly troll who I felt sorry for. Mileage varied greatly with the girl, first two girls--nada. The third girl the smoking hot blonde jumped into my lap and stayed there grinding away for the entire second song. This was the best three dollars I spent. I was thinking at this point how is this club empty. Cheap beer no cover. Half the girls are fairly attractive. Granted the outside of the building and the area of town are not very good at all, but the whole thing seemed odd. Hot blonde came and sat with me and chatted for about 5 minutes before she asked if I wanted to go back to their "new" super private area. She said that it was very private and that I would be allowed to touch anywhere I pleased. (we will get back to that term/phrase in a second). I asked how much and she said $5 to the house and $20 to her plus tip if i left satisfied. She then licked my ear and said, "remember you can do whatever you want back there." I was sold. We headed back at about the two minute mark into the next song. She wanted to start the dance right away and I asked if we could wait since the song was half over. She gave me the eye roll and said ok. Major turn-off. She started dancing--removing no part of her bikini and there was zero contact. I got a billion times more action at the stage. I asked why she was dancing three feet away from me since she said it was ok to touch anywhere I pleased. She said, "Go ahead touch yourself just don't get anything on me." I was floored. I had been had. Hustled for $25 bucks. I told her I wasn't going to pleasure myself and could I just get a normal private. Again with the eye rolling and sighing. The rest of the song was a waste--ZERO effort. As soon as the song ended she bolted from the room and never said a word. Now it makes sense why the place was empty. The hustle factor is a 10. The sad thing is that I walked in with $400 bucks and was looking for a good time. I would have been happy to drop it all, but I walked out with $365. Beer was cheap. No cover. Bathroom was clean and smelled nice. Good stage and dollar dances can be had but avoid the private rooms. Girls and clubs like this kill me. They work so hard trying to scam you for a drink or a private dance that they lose out on so much more money by playing games. Pretty girls bad attitiudes. But to be fair in the past I have spent way more and recieved less."

And conversely Sam, how about female bouncers?

"Next time you run out of money, ask the stripper to loan you some so you can buy dances. You'll get a true understanding for how she feels about you!" I think I can guess what her feelings will be...

I'm sure dropping $1k on a visit would get him fondly remembered. At that rate, he could've enjoyed 50 visits. How long before the IRS takes an interest on whether he's disclosing all of his income and paying his taxes? May put a crimp in his spending.

"inappropriate expenditures and inappropriate gifts" Sounds like a DC lobbyist...

L O V E the 20% surcharge at the cash advance desk inside Flight Club. [C'mon guys -- how seriously do you have to suck at money management to take that gouging!!!]

The Hip Hugger model: No house fee, no stage fee, no lap dance cut. Club makes their money off of: 1) $3 cover charge at night 2) $3 price for a beer 3) Jukebox for dancers on stage (at most $1 a song). For the customer, laps are always $10 per song.

*Sigh*

HA! The Cannonball Cabaret has ascended to #5, besting nearby shill-infested Sundowner. I like the new metrics Founder!

Ran into a porn star working as a dancer in San Francisco. Said she had been on the Jenny Jones Show as a teen.
