Dancers are human beings, so nothing is guaranteed. Dance quality varies by her mood, when you catch her during the night, how you look, how you dress, how cheap you seem, when rent's due, etc. If you want something reliable, rent a porno. I'm not trying to be mean to you, but one of the pleasures of strip clubs is that you can't anticipate what will happen. Some days are good, some are bad, and based on my latest experience, some just smell bad. And if you're looking for cheap action, strip clubs aren't the place to go. They're really about fantasy. If you want an escort, find an escort.

m00tpoint: First of all, thanks for writing the article. I find it interesting to hear how other people approach strip clubs, and as you point out, whatever works for you, great. If I look for different experiences, I'm still interested in hearing about what you're looking for. And to the hecklers, sometimes the pleasure comes from the journey, not where you end up. A circuitous trip might cost more to get the same result, but still be more satisfying and, ultimately, a better deal.
That said, I've got to say that the deal the dancer was willing to cut you, pay the house their fee and she'd give you an ITC experience without additional compensation, sounds like a pretty good deal to me, if $150 was about what you would have paid her otherwise inside the club. The value of gifts, even if it's something she wants, have to be heavily discounted when compared to plain cash (as do drinks, fake house money, etc.). And while different clubs work differently, I doubt there's much of any payout on the money you give her in a VIP, if the club is already getting you for rent on the room, plus maybe a bar tab.
Not that she was doing you a favor: she'd only make that offer if she thought she could get repeat business from you as a result. After all, there's opportunity cost in going with you to the VIP when she's already been paid in shoes. And even if she couldn't have gotten any lap dances or VIPs during the time she spends with you, she might be doing herself (well, her wallet) harm in three ways. One, I think a lot of guys don't want to spend lap dances on dancers who frequent the VIP. They're afraid of upsell. Second, that's time she could be working the floor or the pole and getting guys interested in dances later in the night. Plus dancers only have so much energy in an evening. Use it up on the two of you and she won't be as focused at 3am (or whenever).
