Had read about how bad SC in Chicago are for value. I think it is a matter of finding the right person and making the stripper feel good about you. My friends and I got in free by sending a text message in advance. We bought some drinks and didn't grease any of the white coats for a seat in the main bar area. Saw some women walk by and had a stack to blow. There were a couple of girls with cottage cheese and others with great bodies. It was 3am so it is possible that most of the hottest girls were in the back already. The atmosphere looked like any other regular decent SC.

Found an attractive girl who wanted to go to the back room for $400 for a half hour... neglected to tell me that I need to spend about $200 in booze. I opted for the $30 buck dances in the room with everyone else only because I'd already been drinking since 6pm. Paid for six songs and a nice tip since she provided some excellent extras, despite a vigilant bouncer. She actually propositioned me for OTC as well.

Overall, it was pretty good value, esp compared to LV or other major cities. However, like always, it depends on the girl, the patron, and your negotiation ability if you want extras.
