I guess it depends on what you call "bottomless"... at many clubs in the Detroit area, the dancers wear bikini bottoms that are so skimpy, like 3 sq. inches of fabric in the front, and strings everywhere else... they might as well be nude. Most will move the string out of the way if you show any interest. If you were thinking about Windsor, Detroit is actually much higher mileage, with a full range of clubs to choose from. And no, I don't work for the Detroit Chamber of Commerce.

Player, I didn't realize you were that old.

Doesn't "extra" by definition mean it costs extra? Not covered by the per-song fee?

Electronman, you can rationalize all you want, but I think it comes down to the spoken or unspoken agreement you have with your wife/SO. Everybody knows if they are breaking that understanding or not, or what the understanding allows. Go outside of what is allowed and she will be justifiably pissed.

samsung, michigan is considering smoking ban in all bars, etc., but hasn't passed yet. I like the clean air in ohio clubs. I get under a black light in a detroit club, i can see ash all over my clothing. Ugh.

Another favorite "morality" story: I told a dancer once that if my wife even knew I was in a SC she would kill me. With a completely straight face, she said "If I see anything in the paper about you getting killed, I'll tell the police they should be looking at your wife" as if this was supposed to reassure me! LOL! But it also made me realize this woman lived in a completely different world from me... a world where the expression "she would kill me" is not just an expression. Kinda scary.

I had never been in an SC, but was curious so when my wife left town on business I visited one. I told a dancer who approached me that I was married and didn't know if I was comfortable getting an LD or not. She said, "If I was out of town I wouldn't have a problem with my bf getting a few LD's" LOL! I'm thinking, honey, you are probably a little more liberal than my wife... besides the obvious self-interest in the advice!

Henry VIII in Inkster: a small seating area (maybe 6 stools) along a counter, where the counter separates the stools from the main floor. Main stage is only 15 feet away, right in front of you. Entry is only at the ends of the counter, no sneak attacks. Counter is high, effectively everything below waist level is hidden from view... excellent for getting to know your dancer pre/post VIP.

Bogart's in Inkster: bench seating along the left, with three small tables, right next to the VIP stairs. Can see all three stages, waitresses very attentive (service in Bogart's is excellent, but borders on pushy depending on the waitress). The bar runs all along the wall at the back, except at the left end, where it curls around creating a small seating area where you can sit FACING the bar and still see the entire room. No sneak attacks, but lots of traffic due to VIP stairs and cigarette machine. Finally, there are some seats along the front wall, on either side of the DJ booth, where you are actually behind the main stage. Sometimes its fun to watch the dancers from behind, and see the faces of the PLs at the rail.

It's funny, someone above said clubs in Canada are tame, but Montreal is supposed to be famous for extras... but I have heard the same (tame) thing about Windsor, across the river from Detroit, with the argument about prostitution being legal (outcalls only) cuts down on extras. At the same time, the argument is offered that mileage in Detroit is extremely high because of the competition from prostitutes in Windsor... go figure.
There are three clubs in Detroit I am familiar with where extras are the norm... Henry VIII South, Henry VIII, and Bogart's. At Henry's south they will look at you funny if you don't want extras. Dancers who do not do HJ at least will have a very hard time in these clubs and will move on.

What's the definition of "artist"? Someone who creates something that is beautiful, original, or moving in some way? If that's true, than some strippers are artists. I agree with Philip that in the 313 (Detroit), dancing is pretty much a lost art... the norm is shuffling around the pole, maybe hanging upside down a little for the energetic ones.
I have commented in reviews that at Scarlett's in Toledo, the standard of dancing is very high. Not necessarily "artistic", but very athletic and high-energy. The weird thing about Scarlett's is that the action on stage is very hot... in Ohio full nudity and alcohol are allowed together... for a $1 tip a guy will get a Stevie or have the dancer put her legs over his shoulders and spread it wide. In the VIP, general rule is "don't touch the boobs or the kitty", they keep their panties one, and I think most of the girls observe the rules pretty closely. Strange.
Of course there are exceptions to the poor dancing rule in the 313. There is a dancer at Bogart's named Pleasure, changed recently from Bebe. Still remember the first time I saw her on stage... it was during a finale, with 10 or so girls up, but she stood out because she was doing something completely different. Not athletic, but very graceful and (dare I say it) ethereal? Don't know if she is just stoned all the time or from a different planet, but it looks like she gets lost in her "art", in the beauty of her movements. That first time I saw her I do remember thinking "wow, she really is an artist".

I think that's one reason they keep it so dark in Henry's...

I agree with lurker (love the star trek pic, btw).
I've never been asked to pretend to be a regular, but I have had a dancer ask me to tip her when she went up on stage for a finale, which I think was just an ego thing to tell the other girls that I preferred HER. I've found that anything that makes her feel sexy and flattered pays dividends.

That's funny. I've heard that at Platinum Showgirls in Toledo, you actually pay a person sitting at a desk at the entrance to the VIP. In clubs where the house gets a cut of every dance, I suppose some sort of monitoring is inevitable. I prefer clubs were the girls have a fixed tip-out and then all transactions are between dancer and customer only.
This might benefit the girls is some ways... at least the honest ones... because they don't have a ton of cash at the end of the night that might get stolen. It also helps the club figure out exactly who the "big draws" are.

Her: Hi, my name is 'Sexy' (holds out hand to shake, as I take it I realize there's a condom in it that she tries to palm to me)
Me: You must think I'm easy
Her: not as easy as I am...
