Valet parking being mandatory would be gone.
Drink minimums would be gone.
Tattoos / piercings appeal to some customers, so a few highly tatooed / highly pierced women would help business, but the majority should not be that way.
Chubby dancers, again, appeal to some customers who want the BBW type. So a couple would be good for business.
Pool tables - no need to get rid of them.
Loud music is a no-no. Makes conversation hard. Bad DJ would be fired and someone better hired.
Bathroom troll never bothers me.

I defend strip clubs because I defend the idea of free market capitalism in general. Strip clubs provide an entertainment people are willing to pay for. We would have 1000s more unemployed if all the strip clubs closed down.

The capital you are going to need to start up a strip club is a lot. You're going to need hundreds of thousands to obtain space, get the place to look decent, and that's after you go through all the legal red tape to get a liquor license and such. Then there's the administrative work (payroll, procuring food / liquor orders, etc) that costs money.
If you are willing to make the investment of money and time into this, you could very well succeed. It is like any small business.

I know of some clubs that are closed a day or two of the week. Let's the employees all have a day off and also some days aren't really lucrative to be open on.

With the economy these days, customers are looking to get more for less money... that is what has changed some of the culture.

If you take a taxi, you'll be paying taxi (+ taxi drive tip), strip club cover, and taxi back (+tip).
If you take the free limo and get free cover, it's just a tip for the driver of the limo and a taxi back (+tip), so probably cheaper.

Scanning / checking ID doesn't help justify a credit card charge. It is against the rules of the credit card companies to require ID for credit card sales.

Book GuyI write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.
If this storm is so bad that the place evacuates, the strippers will evacuate too and the club won't be open because all customers who don't feel like drowning in a flood will also evacuate.

Part of this has to do with jurisdictions that tell clubs if they let in someone with a fake ID they can be liable for lawsuit or be fined or lose their liquor license, effectively forcing the clubs to get scanners to verify IDs.

Just have your ATM limit raised, and avoid using cash for hotels / food / gas or pretty much anything that you can use a credit card for. Plus, if you get a cash back credit card you'll eventually get some money you can use for dances at a club.

There are often 2 steps to the transaction, one is the initial authorization and then there's the final authorization. This is to allow you to write in a tip on a receipt. So like if you went out to eat and spent $100, then you could add $20 tip... the initial authorization is just $100, the final one will be $120. So the $100 will show in your account then go away and the $120 will post later.
Basically, until 60 days are past, the $180 is subject to deduction.
Those who say "don't bring cards to the club" if you want to spend all cash I'm sure the strippers are fine with it, but in some cases people don't have cash available. Some clubs are located in bad areas of town where carrying 100s in cash isn't wise. You get mugged that cash is gone, with a credit card at least you can call up and report the stolen card and get fraud refunded.

Alucard, thanks for PM.
Does anyone else have any insights? I have been to a Deja Vu in Michigan before and there was no alcohol. Is Toledo like that?

Your "enjoyment" will go down if you want to make money last long. You basically have to avoid lap dances, drink slowly, and tip minimally.

I have been to a couple. Usually the crowd is typical for that night, but you'll get a few more people because they'll want to see that specific star.
When I went the porn star didn't do lappers, but did like a 10 minute stage show at 9, 11, and 1... I wish they did lappers between. People would have paid $50 or even more for one (versus $20 normal stripper.)

It is not a “legal brothel.” Prostitution is very illegal in the UAE.

If you think $20 is too much, try using a $10 or a $5, or hell a $2.

One of the problems is that the clubs are priced high. For what 15 minutes of dances would cost at a club, there are "escorts" out there offering full sex.
