Is the Flight Club expensive? Yes. Is it more expensive than its main completion? Let’s see. I think that interns of quality most would agree that the Landing Strip is the main competition. Let’s compare base prices. Flight Club. Landing Strip Valet. 8 7 Cover. 20 20 Craft beer. 10 8 VIP Toll. 25 20 Total. 63 55 Ok. Here’s where it gets dicey. It costs you roughly 8 bucks more to get into the VIP room with your favorite lady. If you’re drinking liquor or mixed drinks the above prices will vary but my basic point is that there’s not a lot of difference between the two clubs, so it basically comes down to how much are you going to pay for whatever happens in the VIP. Based on my experience, there’s not much difference in price between the ladies I’m interested in at the Flight Club and the ones I’m interested in at the LS. And there are usually a LOT more ladies that I’m interested in at the FC. My guess is that it’s easier to find a “bargain” at the LS. The only problem is that if it’s someone I’m not interested in who’s offering the bargain I don’t consider it a bargain at all. So the bottom line for me is that even though the Flight Club is a little more expensive I find it to provide better value. And believe me. There are things about the FC that drive me up a wall. In particular its tendency to nickel and dime you.

Uber is a good idea if you’re planning on drinking a lot but it’s not going to save you any money. I’ve been going to the Flight Club off and on since it was called The 747 (they got a cease and desist from Boeing and had to change the name) and have never had an issue with the valet. Nor have I ever heard of anyone who has. The only reason I can think of that the valets would refuse to give you your keys is if you were falling down drunk, and in that case they’d be doing you a favor. It’s a complete non issue.

Good post BubbleYum. I take it for granted that people who hang out on this site would be considered to be a little weird by conventional standards, but pussylicker’s obsession with his car keys is over the top.

Thanks Allen. I’m pretty sure the OP would’ve been OK giving her the money up front. I’m not a huge Cassidy fan but as far as I know she’s definitely not a ROB.

I’m curious if that’s the same Cassidy who used to work at Flight Club. Fake red hair and boobs?

Why is desertscrub still an adjudicator?

Have to respectfully disagree with Papi. I think the whole obsession with club details is overrated. So what if the review is more about the dancer than the club? It’s the dancers that make the club. I’d rather read one review that gives me useful information about one dancer than a hundred reviews that tell me that the stage is shaped like an airplane.

My understanding is that once a dancer has been in the VIP room for three songs she is charged a $100 fee. So if she only does three songs the entire night she ends up losing ten bucks. On a slow night once a dancer actually told me that if I only wanted dances we had to do either two or a lot. There’s more information on the fees the dancers pay here https://tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=70079

400 for everything is probably ballpark at the FC. A lot of the dancers there will open with offers of 5 or more. How much they’re willing to negotiate is probably dependent on how busy they are and it’s been my experience that dancers are much less willing to do so on weekends, particularly during prime hours from 11 to 1. She can walk downstairs and snag someone else in an instant. If you want a bargain go early in the week. I’m not sure I agree with the always negotiate before you get to the VIP philosophy. Particularly at a club like the FC where the dancers have to pay a pretty hefty rental fee once they’ve reached three songs, and particularly on slow nights. If you think about it it’s pretty easy to turn that into a negotiating advantage. One last thing. As I said above, 400 is a ballpark request at the FC, particularly on weekends. If that’s “way too high” for you consider trying early in the week or going to another club. Like it or not that seems to be life at the FC these days.

A correction of a correction. I stopped by the Flight Club tonight. Starting this week the cover has been changed back to $20.

Thanks Bubble Yum. It seems to me that people have two issues with the Flight Club valet. The first, which I think has some legitimacy is that they’re forcing you to fork over eight bucks. I have no problem with the Flight Club being expensive but nobody likes to get nickel and dimed. Is it irritating? Yes. Is it enough to get me to stop going there? No. The second issue is that the valets are dishonest or that they’re going to refuse to give you your keys. Everyone who works for a valet service is well aware that they’re being monitored. Do they sometimes steal? Probably. But for most of them it’s not worth it because if an issue arises they know they’re not going to have have a job anymore. The Flight Club is a multimillion a year business. They’re not going to put up with bullshit from their valet service. And NO! They’re not going to keep your keys! That’s just pure paranoia.

Not sure what you mean by “issues with valet.” It costs eight bucks if that’s an issue but other than that they’ve always been very friendly and very professional. No issues that I can report and I’ve parked there a lot over the years.

Good review. One correction. Nighttime cover at the Flight Club is now 25 bucks regardless of the night. Don’t shoot the messenger. As you point out, if you want to have a good time at the Flight Club you’re going to have to spend a few bucks. It’s not for everyone but IMO it’s worth it given the quality of the ladies.

I went to Bogart’s once. After I de-loused myself I went back across the street and happily paid the cover at the Flight Club.

I too am curious about the goddess. Did you catch her name? Care to share?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the $25 cover has been in effect the last several nights I’ve been there including tonight (Tuesday). I didn’t ask but I don’t think it’s going away.

Shift change at the FC is 7:00 PM Mon-Sat. There’s no day shift on Sundays. I believe they open at seven and dancing starts at eight. As for the young-guy vs old-guy question that probably depends on the dancer but I’ve talked to several who would prefer to have nothing to do with younger guys for a variety of related reasons. They’re too cocky, they want discounts because of their age, they’re less respectful etc. And of course the big one, they have less money.

Papi. I have to respectfully disagree. You’re right that there are a lot of things in his review that are vague and unclear but one thing he is very clear on is that only five or six songs had gone by and that it was too early for her to be back on stage. And he’s pretty clear on that too. He doesn’t say that she told him she had to go on stage. He specifically says that she was called to stage. If we take him at his word it seems to me there are four options 1. They continue and she pays the 100 skip fee. 2. They continue and he pays the fee. 3. They resume the session after her stage show and he pays another $25 BIP tax. 4. He walks. We don’t know from his post if any of these options were discussed. What we do know, if his timeframe is correct, is that this was a DJ screwup and not a devious dancer plot. One more thing. Given the lack of facts I don’t think it’s fruitful to speculate about motives. So when you say “ I assume she did know but was looking to take his $$$ and short-change him all along.” that’s just speculation and not something you can deduce from what he posted. It would be equally to say that she explained to him what her rules were and he so blatantly disregarded them that she just walked out on him. There’s no evidence to support that but it’s *possible* if only remotely so.

Dancers at the Flight Club pay a $100 fine if they miss their stage show. Bad luck for you for sure but if she was only making 200 for the session I can understand why she would have been reluctant to stick around. And if that was her first session of the night the fine plus her tip out would have put her in the red. Sounds to me like the DJ screwed this one up.

Interesting. Was at FC last night and had a dancer with a Florida area code offer me OTC for two grand. Got a good chuckle from that.

700 is definitely on the high end. 500/400 is a pretty common opening offer these days. How far you can get that down obviously depends on the lady. I think your 3-4 expectations are probably realistic but you’ll definitely find ladies who will hold out for more. You were also there early in the evening. I think a lot of dancers are less willing to negotiate when they still have a long evening in front of them. One further comment. Does desertscrub know what a shill review is? Your review was as far from a shill as you can get.

Longball is right. It was a bad joke on my part. Some posters on here have said that they avoid the valet charge by taking an Uber. Seems to me that they probably end up paying more. It’s hard to find an Uber for less than 8 bucks. Sorry for the confusion.

Actually I didn’t mention her name because I thought that at the flight club the “explicitness” would be assumed. Let’s face it, at the flight club the only newsworthy item would be if a lady did not do extras.

Not sure when it happened but I can sadly confirm that the price has indeed gone up. Also, they apparently don’t trust the bouncer any more because he now has to collect the fee and record it in a log before he takes you back to the booth. And there’s a security camera to make sure he does it properly.

@jpayne That was actually in the original post. Go back an reread the next to last paragraph in his post. Here’s what he said. “One last thing of the several hot dancers I spoke with all of them had worked at FC at one point and detailed the horrible "mean girl" nature of the dancers there and the "manager" situation”
