A local (West Michigan) club lists their "fingers crossed" re-opening date as January 15.

Given that the ruling was in San Diego, I wonder if the dancers at the clubs were following the 15 foot separation rule any more than they were the 6 foot rule that's in place just by San Diego law. At Cheetahs, a 15 foot separation would mean that the girls can be on stage, but basically no one can be in the ring of chairs around the stage, and all that would be allowed to happen is stage dances. Dancers at Cheetahs have had a tendency to break the rules anyway, in my experience.

Outside of Pahrump and Mound House, weren't they kind of slowly disappearing anyway?

Thank you for including the word "increasingly" in the original post, thus acknowledging that he's always been at least somewhat deranged. His old thing wasn't just flagging obvious shill reviews, it was flagging ANY first-time review as a shill review regardless of the content - I've read many reviews that he called a club ad where the reviewer actually mentioned being disappointed with some things about the club. Thanks to Founder for making reviews that are awaiting approval anonymous.

Nah. Looks like a 15 year old.

Really depends on the club and location, but I've parked on the street at a bunch of places. On the other hand, for a lot of clubs I've been to, street parking wasn't a possibility anyway either because it was on a rural road or highway.

It's a thing in Rhino clubs as well - a lot of dancers just won't do plain topless dances there, but I agree that a full nude lap dance (as long as it's just a lap dance) doesn't really do so much for me that paying twice as much makes any sense.

Lisa Marie, Mars Attacks!

I'm more on the average joe custie side as well. I've made a similar comment elsewhere, but I've always lived a decent distance from any clubs where extras were possible, so after driving multiple hours to get to a club that will even allow a 2-way topless lap dance, I'd prefer to maximize my time getting topless lap dances rather than be done in a half hour or something. If I lived closer to extras clubs and visiting them was something that happened more than twice a year I might feel differently about it, but all I'm really looking for is a sensual lap dance with a lot of 2nd base level mileage. However, I know I'm not TUSCL's core market so I do note in reviews where extras or OTC are regularly brought up by dancers, or areas where such things don't seem likely without additional effort.

I wasn't a big fan of the redesign when it first came out, but I second most of Papi's comments (especially the ability to click on a city/state name when you're looking at a club listing), and it looks like a few of those have been picked up already - as it stands now, this might be the most useful I've ever seen the site. Thanks, Founder!

I just say "yes".

Yeah, he's not *bad* but he's Fox's #1 guy for football and baseball so he's on all the time. I've liked when ESPN covered the baseball playoffs and you'd get some of the better-than-average local guys on the radio broadcast, like Jon Miller.

If I enjoy a dancer's work enough that I'd get dances with her again, I'll tip the cost of a dance. More if they're exceptional (not counting negotiated extras or anything). I'm hoping for two things, depending on where I'm at - at a club I visit often, the dancer will recognize me and that I'm worth spending time on, which has been an issue in places where girls just hang out at the bar with their regulars all night; or in a place I don't go often that dancers are talking in the dressing room about who good customers are. The second reason is a bit of a stretch, but it has paid off for me before.

Definitely miss Kwik Trip from when I lived in Wisconsin. I kind of wonder what the analogy of a Kwik Trip club would be - they're generally a lot better than other chain convenience stores I have experience with, so does that mean the club would be good? But they're still really just enough to keep you going and nothing all that extraordinary, so does that mean the club would be bad?

I'm not on SA, but I have been on SB and still check it once in a while, and it does seem like there are fewer women creating profiles or checking in on a regular basis than there used to be. The profiles don't disappear; women just aren't checking in.

The area is kinda seedy - due to zoning laws, strip clubs and other adult businesses kind of get clustered together in a couple places; the Midway district is one of those areas (the last local Deja Vu isn't far away, Body Shop (closed) and Les Girls are right down the street, and Fantasy Shots is a bit further). But I wouldn't really call it dangerous or sketchy - there's plenty of legit businesses and restaurants around, and a couple strip malls with big box stores like Home Depot and Target almost right next door. I very rarely went to Pacers when I lived in the area, but I was doing other stuff around there all the time. One thing that may have changed since I lived there though is that legal marijuana shops have almost the same zoning regulations that strip clubs do, so maybe that ups the seediness aspect, but I don't really think that would lead to a knife fight? That should be one of the chillest areas of town now.

1. I've never lived in an area where even 2-way topless dances were either legal or allowed under club rules, which means extras have pretty much been out of the question. When I've traveled to areas that have higher mileage clubs or looser laws, I've preferred to stay a loooong time at a club getting as many dances as possible rather than blow my bankroll on one. It might be different if I lived where extras and higher mileage were more routine, but I go for eye candy and dances; I've rarely had a conversation with a dancer that was more interesting than boring chitchat about the weather. 2. when I was 24 on a trip to Vegas. 3. I always go alone. 4/5/6. I've never really had any standout memorable experiences 7. No one knows. 8. I've never gone looking for OTC and only been asked once, but this kind of goes along with my response to #1. 9. I've never really cared about the music played. 10. Never had the experience to make a comparison.

Following up on jackslash - lots of clubs in Michigan are closed again after the reopening phase for the lower part of the state (lower part of lower Michigan peninsula - where most clubs and people are) has seen a large surge in cases. One bar in Lansing (note: not a strip club) has over 150 cases tracked to it.

wallanon - While the building is in a mostly residential area, there's a few businesses mixed in, and there's an archery shop next door. It looks more like an old "shopkeeper" type building, with a commercial business on the first floor and a residence on the second. Who knows if the second floor is still residential (it looks like it is), but that would an interesting apartment to have.

At some places, it can be pretty hard to get a dancer at all because they're tied up with regulars (quite often not even getting dances).

My divorce was pretty simple, but my attorney was fine. Tried to wrap things up as quickly as possible and save me money by getting a judgement agreement without even seeing a mediator. My ex and I weren't that far off on what we thought was "fair", but in the end I got more than I would have gotten with the judgement agreement, including the fees for the time with the mediator and attorney.

I don't expect the laws to change, but that raid was some bullshit and hopefully makes the police think twice about what their real mission is. JamesSD is right, and I've probably made comments to the same point before - you'll get nothing in SD for a single song lap dance. At Cheetahs, you might get something for a 5 song $100 VIP, but it can be pretty YMMV, and I've since lived in two places far worse for mileage than San Diego.

" It’s basically a religious holiday there." Seriously. My office was more empty around that time than at Christmas and between two places I worked while I lived there, at least three guys in each place had a bunch of pictures of themselves with dead bucks.

I'm in the same boat as shadowcat. Went to a couple clubs this weekend and could hardly get a dance.

One thing I think Charlie Sheen got right is something he said about paying prostitutes - you're not paying them for the sex, you're paying them to go away and leave you alone afterwards.
