Definitely have to watch the time of day. VIP prices do go up on night shift (7pm). Dayshift VIP $225-250 seems to be the normal all-in request, but after 7p, dancers will ask $250-300). I've never gotten a $200 all-in price quote at DD. Same thing happens at BT nearby. $200 is standard VIP rate during day, but at 7pm it goes up to $250. Prices are firmer at BT in my experience.

The real problem is that Cleveland rigged his contract to reduce the financial penalty of a suspension this year. He's making $47M this year, but only around $1M is subject to suspension losses because of the rigged contract.

Also, you can't clog up the plumbing with an air dryer. For the life of me, I'll never understand why people trash and flood public restrooms just for giggles.

Interesting about the girl with lots of tattoos and piercings. This club had a dancer dress code last time I was there maybe 18-24 months or so ago, and shied away from the body art. I remember a dancer with short blue hair one time losing her wig of "normal" shoulder length brown hair on stage and being scared about getting fined by management for being out of dress code.

Why the fuck would anyone tip at Dunkin? I can't stand counter service fast food tip jars, or credit card readers that a preprogrammed to nearly force you to tip. When did that become a thing? Tipping at restaurants is reserved for waitresses at sit down places only.

A year is a verrry long time (and presumably a lot of $) to progress to neck kisses and stick shifting. Since you've never submitted a review, I can't comment on regional practices near you. But, yes comfort level commonly progresses as you go from the unknown PL that might be a total creep to a more known entity. Plus if she wants you to keep coming back, then each time needs to be a bit more exciting than the last to keep you wondering about what might happen next.

I don't know for sure if it's always $30/song. No signs posted anywhere. That was the price my dancer asked for, and on a slow night I didn't really mind. I asked if they get to name their own prices, and she sorta sidestepped the answer so the price might be a little lower with others. When I travel out of South Florida (where I'm currently based), $30/song is not a terrible price. And, nearly every regular strip club feels PG13 in comparison. So, I adjust expectations.

I tried the single song dance in the main floor lapdance booths only once and was made to basically sit on my hands. The upstairs timed dances are two-way touch in curtained rooms (with cameras) and a much better time with the right dancer, but expensive and largely non-extra.

Probably gonna have to ask non-Cubans for that in Pompano. Cubans seem to be the strictest about CBJ. You might have a shot for some BBBJ at BT and DD, but CIM is probably gonna be very rare. CIM is probably more available on the AMP or escort circuit.

At a club without much in the way of real extras, kissing is definitely a big plus for me and often leads to repeat service, at least for me. Its the best you can get there, often a surprise, and is frankly a different type of intimacy and satisfaction. In an assembly line extras club, hell no. I know where that mouth has been over and over again.

Platinum West in Columbia is not really known for extras (see reviews of the last few years), but hardly anyone (or no one) has reported ponying up for the Champagne Room. So I couldn't tell you what happens up there. I've visited about 5 or 6 times in the last few years while travelling for work - it's the only club in town and out of towners could get free entry by showing your hotel key card and out of town license. Regular lap dances were very hit or miss (mostly miss), but I've had 1 or 2 very good ones with light extras. Only once did a dancer try to upsell me to a very expensive Champagne Room, and her promises sounded very empty to my ear.

Is it really an extras club, or did the travelling dancer just not give a shit about house rules? Can't just a club by the travellers.

10% is not an insignificant portion of the population. Seems high to me, unless it includes the full LGBTQ+ spectrum. As a counterpoint, Black people are 12.5% of the US racial population. I'd argue that they get many many times more equality outrage.

In my experince, $125 is the quickie private booth HJ/CBJ price. $25 to club, $100 to dancer. $225 or 250 for more services in same private quickie booth.

If I recall, dancers at Platinum West set their own lap dance prices, and owe a set price per dance to the club afterwards. Haven't been in about 9 months or so, but most of the girls had colluded on the higher $40 price last time I was there. Some bundling options were still negotiable (3 for 100) from a few dancers. Mileage was always pretty limited, but I did get a nice HJ in the LD booth once, so there can be surprises.

30/$150 is for the "cabanas" (curtained stalls). 30/$190 is the standard VIP room with door. They have 3 open partitioned lap dance booths, 6 curtained cabanas, 2 VIP rooms, 1 "owners suite", and 1 "skybox".

I once got stuck with stage-5 clinger at Platinum West in Columbia, which is usually a pretty dark club. She told me that when she danced on stage, the DJ had orders to make the stage lighting red. I can testify that soft red lights and a 20-ft distance was about the only thing that made this woman who'd been dancing for 20+ years appear even remotely attractive. Dark clubs definitely boost the fantasy appeal of SCs.

Of the 3 Pompano clubs you listed, Booby Trap definitely has the highest AA patron percentage later in the week and later into the evening, is the most likely of the 3 to see people making it rain, and is located on a road that is named after MLK Jr just a short distance away from the club. If patron race and rain-making are your prime classification means, then yes it's the most "urban" of the 3. Lots of older white guys, Hispanic, and Asian guys sitting around with minimal stage tipping during dayshift though. I've never been latenight.

Agree on the restroom. I was there about 6 weeks ago and the bathroom floor drain backed up, resulting in a 1/2 inch deep puddle throughout and an emergency call to the plumber. On busy nights, people make a real mess in there. I'm hoping the recently updated logo and website artwork (now calling itself "The Millstream Gentleman's Club") are the start of some real upgrades, and not just a dancer moonlighting at marketing.

I find that if you get to know just about any dancer on a personal level, you'll learn that they hate 99.9% of their customers. This is confirmed when you become a trusted regular and start to learn just how many dancers are actually lesbians in their personal lives.

No, you can't ask for your money back. Sounds to me like you enjoyed your time with the dancer, and kept going back for more while knowing exactly what you'd get. All you can do now is gather up some more money, ask her if she does those extra things you now know about and want, and pay up for the new experiences. If all you want is a handy, save some $ and visit an AMP. LDK and OTP is not guaranteed. Every club and dancer are different. In my experience, some dancers want to get the LDK, but the vast majority don't.

$20 cover at 1140AM seems pretty excessive...

Sounds like you did all the right things to get attention. Maybe it was the cigar smoke?

Not making any excuses, as the Mill is a relatively slow starter on a weekend afternoon, but its not their fault that Baltimore County went back to indoor masks when Omicron took off. And, they had their annual VIP member party on Friday, so that might explain the seemingly leftover decorations and slow B squad at Saturday opening.

I'm a dayshift visitor every 1-2 weeks to each over the last 4 months or so, though Ive oretty much stopped going to DD... DD is the most tightly packed layout and the private dance booths are small curtained booths directly facing the main room with a banquet chair inside. Dancer focus can be quite mechanical and solely focused on getting you into the private booth where $125/$225 will get you either to 3rd or home in 3 songs or less. Not bad if thats what you want, and there are a few gems willing to put in a little effort. Better happy hour drink prices for beer ($2 domestic bottles). $2 cover/parking fee before 7. BT 2-story very night club feel with overly loud music, lots of flashing lights, and occasional hookahs. Dancers seem friendlier and more willing to chat you up a bit before the sell. $200 will get everything with slightly less time pressure in the private curtained booths with armless loveseats down a short hall behind the bars. The downstairs loveseats are bit worn out, and it can be a little noxious when the dancer wipes down the booth with ammonia cleaner before starting. Dances tend to be a bit friendlier and more GFE than DD. Nice cold beer on draft $6/pint. $1 cover/parking fee before 7. I witnessed the 7pm shift change at BT once recently, and it was awkward and dull to have everyone (dancers, bartenders, bouncers, etc.) all swapping out at the same time. Cheetah Pompano is definitely more of a hangout bar with more sports on TV, plenty of old-timer regulars during day, largest single floor layout, and 4 stages. Single dances at $25 in well-policed communal room; VIP booths start at $75 to the club and $200-300 to dancer for 15/20 minutes. Haven't tried the VIP here. $2 cover/parking fee during day. If I get an afternoon free, I'm likely to stop at Cheetah for free lunch, friendly bar talk, and warmup, and then hit BT for a shorter stay to cap the afternoon before heading home. At DD and BT, I never had to ask for anything special, if you bought the private dance, you got what you got.
