I made it in here on a recent weekend night, and they are a bit of a victim of their own success. It wasn't standing room only or anything, but there simply weren't enough dancers for the crowd. After 12 there were zero dancers on the floor. They were either up in rooms or in the dressing room. The few that would emerge from the dressing room would immediately go for dances. The only time you'd see them work the crowd would be during the 2 for 1. If this keeps up, they really need to increase their roster size.

@CMI The issue with a shrinking industry is that it leads to lower club quality vs reduced competition. Take board favorite Desire, would it have the combination of services and hotness if it wasn't competing with 3 or 4 (sometimes) good clubs within a 20 minute drive? Would dances still be $25 there if it's only competition was Cadillac Lounge? Maybe, but likely not.

Minnow's post is the best read of the situation. IMO clubs would do better to install panic buttons in rooms and remove cameras. This would seem to be both physically safer for the dancer and privacy concern safer for the customer and dancer. I suspect that what appears to be increased emphasis on extras from customers is driving away a lot of native-English speaking dancers. ID scans are becoming more common. Ever since 9/11 we've been ok with surrendering our privacy, and it doesn't seem to be hurting those clubs as much as I expected. However, at some point a strip club ID database is going to make the news just like Ashley Madison, or someone will come forward that they were blackmailed by club management.

$40/song seems about the worst.

Were you able to add just a third song, or did you have to buy 4?

^ this.

^^SkiBum, Are you arguing that by Biden pumping money into the economy, fewer recent post college girls feel the need to work, and the supply of dancers has decreased?

Come on Puddy, By quoting President Ford you aren't helping your argument. Find a better quote.

There was a recent review of Cadillac lounge in Providence that said that $45 dances are "reasonably priced." For reference, they are $30 at Foxy (recently increased), $30 at RI Dolls, Desire is $25 (topless)/$35 (nude), Boardroom is $20 or 2 for $30 promo. Towards Boston, Golden Banana and Glass Slipper are $30. Mickey's is cheaper still. That isn't even price gouging if there are clear high quality competitors with largely transparent pricing nearby.

This isn't Cabaret. I've never seen their kitchen actually operating post COVID and the place is a total dive.

$45 per dance would easily be the highest cost in RI, MA, NH, ME, QC and all but potentially one club in CT. How is that reasonable?

Men's Club of Charlotte continues to be very highly ranked, but I don't get it from their reviews. Someone explain it to me.

Good Review

How was the song length?

Presumably it is all CC related and they aren't doing any tracking with cash.

Edit: It was Dream Girls not Platinum Plus. This is the review I was referring to: https://tuscl.net/review/404649

I think Platinum Plus (if not, then Dream Girls) is the one where a relatively recent review discusses having his ID scan come back up when he went to buy a private room, and the cashier casually discussing his room/drink history with him. Crazy-ass privacy issues there.

Meshuggah, I'll defend the reviewer and point out that he/she is providing helpful up to date info on the state of the club, and in particular the situation regarding upstairs dances. FL isn't Desire, or Baby Dolls but it has enough reviews that we all know the layout and price structure. We've been getting varying reports regarding recent dancer quality and upstairs dance policies, so this is a helpful review.

Caddy is near the bottom due to its proximity to some very good clubs (Foxy, Desire, Boardroom, possibly Fantasies and Dolls), and idiotic prices. If you moved it to, say, the Twin Cities it might fare a lot better. NJ dominates the bottom 40 list, but reading reviews of those clubs, they seem pretty good.

A review just came through of a Stars in Bend, OR. They wanted $60 a dance with no touching. If there was ever a case for government mandated price caps, this is it.

Boardroom has better options than Desire or Golden Banana in my opinion. Every trip to Desire involves a long boring waiting game. The total quantity of hot girls is irrelevant if they are all either in the dressing room or tied up with a regular. The stage show isn't especially entertaining, and dancers take too long to come out after their set. Golden Banana is similar, but despite the songs being under 4 minutes and there only being 10-12 girls on a given weekday shift, it takes forever for an interesting girl to come to the stage. The girls with fake butts and lip filler seem to get more frequent stage sets, and the natural girls appear less frequently. (This may not actually be true, but it sure seems like it). Combined with most of the girls not circulating, it is easy to not spend money there. Boardroom has a much higher circulation rate, but basically no door vultures. The promos, high quality of the dancers, and reasonable stage rotation make it pretty easy to connect with a desirable girl without waiting forever.

Haggar, Wrangler, Under Armour (and probably many more) all make pants with elastic waste bands. Just buy a bunch off of amazon and return the ones you don't like. Also, if they run too baggy, just have a tailor slim them down; they aren't just for stylin suits.

I think y'all gotta readjust a bit. Beyonce has been around since the 90s, she's not exactly new. Not knowing her stuff doesn't mean that your out of touch with today's music, it just means that you have never been into the kind of music that she's made.

I wonder if there is an established link between the supply of tattoo parlors and the price of VIP?
