Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Just called them up to get details as far as fee's and tip outs. Not bad at all. Topless is $20 (tip out $6), while nude is $40 (tip out $12). If you get there at the start of a shift, your first 3 dances are free. No tip outs.
I read on Zbone that the club is under new management now. They've lowered the dancer fee's to hopefully attract new dancers.
Does anybody have any insider information about this club?
Anyone up for checking it out with me tomorrow???

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
I've been to the club as a custie and there is a HUGE push for drinks. It's a nice upscale place though. There is one in West LA too.

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Aww, boo! Ok... nevermind, ha.

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Yeah, NoHo clubs are notorious for being shitty and slow. I worked at the West LA Silver Reign - they are a wannabe Spearmint Rhino/upscale high mileage club - I have never paid so much in my life to dance anywhere and the managers are big corporate assholes (big surprise, I know). The money was pretty good though and the girls are friendly/hot.
If you want to work in that area specifically, Blue Zebra was okay for me. Some nights were shitty but I did okay overall and it wasn't horrifically dirty. I hear weekends are best but I was usually a Sun - Weds girl.

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
^^Oh man... don't even get me started on Blue Zebra! Nice upscale looking club, hot girls (most of whom were friendly...but a couple really bitchy!). Anyway, I did really good on my first Saturday night, but man oh man... management are assholes there! Not sure how your experience was with them Alexxa, but I definitely didn't get a good first impression. When I went to cash out at the end of my shift, the manager on shift claimed that I did 2 more dances than I really did. I let him know that it must be a mistake, and he said "that's what I have on here. Which means you still owe me for those two dances." He was being a total dick.
On the plus side, they get a good amount of patrons. I've thought about going back, but I really don't want to pay managers that treat their girls like shit. Ya know?
This sucks. I think I may just have to drive my ass out to the Aneheim or OC clubs again. Gah!!

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Noneya, I worked with a really cool manager when I first started named Celo, who doesn't work there anymore. They like to ship Rhino managers around to all the different clubs for some reason. For example, I went and talked with the manager in Rialto and he said he used to work at Blue Zebra. LOL They rotate all the time.

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Huh , I was always under the impression that strip clubs in the LA area are dead and pointless ......I mean absolutely no offense by that , its just what I have heard and I was disappointed . If I had thought I could strip in LA and make a living I would have moved there YEARS AGO , dumb ass I am >:(

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
They are. You really have to either put up with a ton of contact, do extras, scam people, be obscenely gorgeous or deal with making crap money. I do the latter.

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Yeah well it might have been fun pre baby , young and carefree lifestyle.
Soooo whats crappy money ?? less than 200 a night ? Can you support yourself ?? Ugh I should just move to Vegas .....now where can I find a night time baby sitter ?

That could totally be a factor. I feel similarly at times.
I am currently making less than $200 a night on weekends because I do airdances. No, I am not really supporting my family right now. Well, just barely. I am probably going to look for another club very soon. I have no idea about the baby sitter. My fiance watches ours when I'm at work.

Hmm. That's good to know. I didn't have a clue that they rotate their managers. The asshole I was talking about is Wes. He was a big big jerk. I can deal with shittiness up to a certain extent, but when he crossed that line and ripped me off - that did it for me. That was my first and last night there.
I may consider giving it a try again.
Alexxa, have you thought about trying at Blue Zebra again? What made you stop dancing there, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
LOL - Wes is the one that works at Rialto now I think.
I stopped working at BZ because I got pregnant and moved to the IE. It's too far for me to drive there again.

Ahh, so you met the jerk I was talking about. >:(
Congrats with the baby! (Super late, I know. Ha.)
Okay, at the risk of sounding dumb - where or what is IE?
-
Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
I dunno - the Wes I met in Rialto was very nice to me. Very professional and courteous. IE stands for Inland Empire, as in Riverside, San Bernardino, Rialto, Corona, Chino, etc.
And thanks for the congrats! :)

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Hey girls! I am new to this site. I actually know the guy that runs this site, so I finally decided to come on here and check it out.
All the managers (marciello, wes) that has been mentioned I know personally. Marciello is a back stabber. Beware of him..he will get personal information about you and leak it to the other girls and customers. I don't know why he does this...I think he expects girls to tip excessively....and if you don't, he's on your bad list. BEWARE!
Wes isn't a bad guy... I think becoming a manager got to his head, because I knew him when he was just a floater...and back then he was cool.
As far as NOHO clubs and the SR chain, I am all too familiar with this! Where do I start.....LA right now is dead. I used to clear $1k-$1.5K a night, now with most of my regulars broke or unemployed, I make $200-$500 with no customers, and I don't know about you but that is not enough to dance.
Blue Zebra is my home club. That is where I started and I love it! The money isn't too great right now, so I have no choice but to find alternatives. Wes is no longer at BZ. The managers there are way cool...so if you want to make an easy $200 go there.
Silver Reigh NOHO is dead. No business, waste of time. VIP Showgirls NOHO is also dead. BZ is the top club in NOHO.
I hope this helps!

I don't mean to sound rude, but I don't see how people compare regular jobs with exotc dancing. I don't put myself out there completely naked unless the it's worth the money.
Yes, it may be good money now, but I started when times were so good that the stage money alone was $200-$400/night. I realize that times have changed, but I don't want to lower my standards just yet.....

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Thanks for the info on Marcelo, oclily. He was super nice to me from day 1, even added me on his myspace. We got along really well - but I did tip well. Maybe that was why I didn't have any problems?
And as for your observation about VIP Showgirls - I agree as well. The club was SO DEAD - I think I made $10 and gave it all to the DJ before walking out. It's a shame because it's decorated well, I liked the staff and the girls seemed cool. The manager seemed respectful and he made it clear that he runs a clean club. It's a really beautiful place and it had oversized, clean dance areas and a nice CR. But there were no custies to be found! How sad.
-
Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Of course Marcelo is nice. Super nice to your face, just be careful and keep your distance. He has been with the company for years and can get away with almost anything. He doesn't have too many fans because of the way he is.....be careful and make that money!
-
Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Yeah, thanks for the info. oclily. I worked at Blue Zebra a long long time ago. I'm thinking of giving it another shot. What are the tip outs like now?
Oh, and welcome to SW!

Re: Silver Reign, North Hollywood
Years ago huh? We may know eachother! Thanks for the welcome! I like this site a lot....kinda hooked on it....
Ok so here is the breakdown for BZ. There is now a VIP room.
Day shift 11AM (call to make sure, i only work nights)-6:30PM
Night shift 6:30PM-2AM, thur 6:30PM-3AM, fri & sat 6:30PM-4AM
Stage fee: $10
Topless $20 payout $5
Nude $35 (almost all cust give you $40 which helps) payout $12
VIP's (any specials like 2 for 1's don't count back there)
3 song min $105 (same as doing 3 nudes at $35
Since the specials don't apply in the VIP sell the 15 minutes. It's pretty easy.
15 min $150 payout $48
30 min $200 payout $96
Here you want to tip out the MGR, FLOATER(S), DJ, WAITRESS
-$.50/topless and $1/dance to everyone but the waitress
-give the waitress whatever you want ie:$5, $10, $15, etc.
Here's some info that others may not know. There is a dancer incentive right now. If you are on time dressed and ready on the floor by 11AM for day or 6:30PM at night, the stage fee is $5, and you get $1 less on every dance.
Day shift is really gross, fat nasty girls that I think may be doing BJ's, so I would do the nights. Plus there are way more guys at night. Lately the crowd comes in super late, weeknights at like 11PM, and weekends at like 1AM, so just keep smiling.
Tell the manager you are a friend on Lily's and they will be cool!

Thanks for the info. Lily. I'll call in today so that I can come in to see if they'll hire me. Hopefully I won't have to audition (I didn't have to the first time, but if I do, I don't mind). Maybe I'll see you tonight. =)
Oh, and I'd rather work nights after what you've mentioned, lol. Do you have to be on a schedule?
Yes, SW is quite addictive! I can be stuck on here for hours at a time! I had to force myself to stay away from the computer yesterday, in order to be more productive. Haha
