Are there really clubs that let you have credit on the house? I can't imagine getting a night's worth of dances and being allowed to leave without paying, much less over a year and a half's worth. Maybe the owners assume they will be able to strong arm the guy but what about the strippers? There's no way in hell they're gonna work for an IOU. Was the club paying them out of their own pocket? Did the player only pay the girls directly leaving him on the hook for whatever fees (rooms, alcohol, tips, etc) the club wanted to cook up? So many questions
Now now, in defense of my Chicagoland it isn't all gloom and doom. You don't even have to leave the same block to find a friendlier albeit similarly over priced club (Scores) where you can at least get a solid grind and where things pick up considerably in a room. I've had a girl at Industrial Strip tell me that LDK is understood to be the goal if the guy's up for it. At Club O girls don't seem to even bother upselling the rooms (starting at $175) unless they're committed to making you leave happy. It takes a little more searching (and $) but Chicago isn't quite the strip wasteland it's made out to be
