Nice review. You did great for your first time, and your friend gave you the exact right advice.

I agree that you paid more than necessary, but lots of guys do. The regulars on this board are ruthless negotiators and know the market. The PLs in the club are all over the map—some are dirt cheap and some gladly pay sticker price. My experience is that dancers at FC these days begin negotiations at almost twice what they’re willing to accept. YMMV, but the dancer who opens at $$$$ will come down to $$ most of the time.

I think the bucket specials are 4-7 Monday and Tuesday (plus Sunday night?). Most of the servers don’t seem to know about it and frequently have to go ask someone when I bring it up.

This club actually has very reasonable ATM fees, so I definitely recommend going cash even if you spend more than you walked in with. I think it was a $6.00 fee for each withdrawal (of up to $200).

You can't become a regular if you don't go, lol. There isn't any magical secret to getting the attention of women at Flight Club. If you like someone you see on stage, tip her $5. When you tip her, introduce yourself, tell her that you'd like some company, and let her know how long you'll be there. She'll tell you whether she has time to fit you in.

FYI - The showcase is the worst time to show up, imo. They require the day shift dancers to leave the floor, but many night shift dancers don't arrive before 9. They slow things way down to compensate for the lack of dancers (only one or two stages open, three or four song rotations for each girl, etc.). It's boring. On a Tuesday, I would recommend coming around 4 pm, when they have beer bucket specials (including Space Dust). Drink your beer and enjoy the full compliment of day shift dancers for three hours. If you're still up for more fun, order some dinner around 7-7:30 to keep entertained during the lull. The club will be back to full throttle around 9-9:30.

Great review! This is my regular club, as well. To add a few details: Yes, all activities—dances + extras—happen in the same VIP room. Thankfully, they keep them quite clean. Yes, negotiation is common. Your starting quotes are spot-on, but most of the dancers tell me that they expect to earn $200-300 for each trip to the VIP. YMMV. The “six-song minimum” dancer is probably a product of the way FC charges the dancers. The dancers owe the club extra money after their third or fourth VIP song of the night, so they will sometimes ask for a minimum commitment before using the VIP.

Mileage was not a top priority for me, but it feels like an important thing to discuss in a review of any club. What I wanted most of all was a well-lit, upscale, relaxing club environment where I could linger for several hours and get to know some beautiful women. The Cheetah was exactly what I was looking for in that regard. Naturally, I’d love a place where I can get all that PLUS mileage (and at a slightly lower price point, if we’re making wishes). But, given my priorities, The Cheetah trumps Follies every day.

Interesting question. I’m not typically an extras guy, but I also don’t think the idea bothers me too much. How would you deal with the issue in everday life? I’m single and relatively young, so I’m used to dating people non-monogamously. Anytime I have sex, it’s theoretically possible that I’m someone’s second or third partner of the day.

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t aware of the full-length couch room. I’m a little disappointed at my favorite for not mentioning it as part of the tour, lol. And I hope I didn’t come off as too negative—Landing Strip is a fine club, I just think it’s a bit pricy for the overall quality.
