$250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
Hi everyone,
I have recently started working in this club, not far from Chicago. The house fee per shift is $200 (weekdays) per shift and $250 (weekends) per shift.
This includes all house mom fees, dj tips, and bouncer tips.
The stage...2 songs...nude on stage. (and 99% of people that tip you on stage give you a dollar).
The songs are $20 per song (nude) ...or 5 songs for $50 dollars (nude) ...it takes place in a privately big room... its the grinding type of dances too...but no touching, other than the waist. It is a completely clean, no extra club.
*It is my first time dancing. I'm beginning to wonder if this club that I would at are just taking advantage of the dancers---after reading all this info about other clubs. Is it even worth it to work at this club as of now? Is the house fees really bad? (I really really need some money asap.) Or should I travel around to work at other clubs that have much lower house fees? ( i noticed there are clubs that only charge under a $100 around philly...or other places......)
Much appreciate ur response..=)

Hmmmm..... If you're making more than that it's worth it.
But if you find yourself owning the club money more often than not, it isn't
Worked at a club were tip out was 200 dollars when you walked in the door.
The smallest amount I made was 400 so that's 200 in my pocket.
The most 800, and I don't hustle hard. So I can imagine what the hustlers made.

that house fee is outrageous- vegas clubs chrage less than that! you should look into whether thats a regional thing or smthg unique only to that club. cause there are places closer to travel from chicago than philly

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
Wow, those house fees are ridiculously high !!!
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
Do you get to keep all of the money you make from dances? And the 5 songs for $50 sounds too low- if you're paying the club that much they shouldn't discount dances to that extent. It seems like it would cut into your profits.

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
Sounds like NYC house fees!

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
I think Chicago club fees are pretty high in general.
If you want to travel:
What kind of travel are you willing and able to do? Fly, drive, train?
What areas are you interested in? Big cities, small towns, west/east/north/south?
How far can you travel?
Have money to start off traveling and get back home if necessary?

5 songs for $50? total rip off unless the songs are 20 seconds long
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
That is a rip off. There are clubs close to Chicago that charge a lower house. By any chance is that Skybox or Heavenly Bodies? If so, that owner (who owns several other clubs) has been known to take advantage of dancers by charging ridiculous amounts.
Between this outrageous amount, and the other thread about paying $140 house and all these tipouts, I am truly sad that Chicago clubs have become this ridiculous. I remember when dancers complained when one club went up to $30 house.

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
Hey girl I just posted a thread about my tip out near Chicago which is $140 on weekends....I've heard Chicago clubs are generally high but this is a little insane!
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
^I was also wondering it was Heavenly Bodies. Why don't you go to Scores? If you can't get hired at either of those how about The Admiral?

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
I wouldn't pay that unless I was guaranteed $1500 a night. Thats fucking retarded.
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
That house fee is outrageous. Just...no effing way.
Unless, like mediocrity said, you're making upwards of some serious, serious cash reliably every night, that's crap.
If you make $300 a shift on average (reasonable in this economy), then 2/3 of that is going to the house and you're only walking away with $100. wtf. I realize you pay the 200 when you walk in the door but regardless of when you pay it, you're netting the same crappy amount.
And 5 songs for $50?? what the...just, no.
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
that's insane. unless you're making 1250 a night on a bad night, fuck them. something is very fishy here, if they're charging that low for dances and that much for tipout, it really makes me suspect that something is going on here you don't want to be involved in.
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
I would never pay so much.. are there other options?
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
I agree with EVERYONE. That sounds REALLY REALLY high! Those are NYC house fee prices, and girls here make upwards of $500-2K a night after tip out! And we don't have 'discounted' dances. WTF?
Something just sounds 'off' about that club. The fees seem really high in what you get in return. Do girls there break $1,000 all the time? Are there private rooms where you get paid hourly (and keep all the money you make from it)?
I would do more research if I were you-=-

Ripoff. Run fast. What club is this is? I used to work in the city suburbs there.
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
And btw OP, most clubs do take advantage of the girls. Welcome to Stripperdom. I'd say go elsewhere til ya get your feet wet.
-
Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
My club: $130 NO NUDITY.
To me grinding is considered and extra, also I would not grind nude. That's just me.
What is Chicago like money wise? Seattle area= Microsoft, Boeing, conventions, sports.
If you can leave with 500 minimum on top of $200 maybe get started there and look elsewhere.
Seriously I could never imagine doing five nude dances for $50. I can do two bikini dances with minimal grinding for $50 plus a tip.

Re: $250 house fee (Fri. and Sat.) & $200 house fee (weekdays)
If you live in Chicago or around the area I'd recommend working at Scores. I worked there last month and my tipout/house fees were only $80 ($40 to house, $20 to housemom and dj). I came in before 8pm (I think it's like $60-$80 on weekends if you come in after 10pm). They do take $5 out of each one of your dances but if you up charge you'll bring home a lot despite having $200 in dance payouts.
I'd really suggest working there. It's not hard to make $1000 in a six hour shift.

Depends how much you're making...
My payout can be over that-- it was $450 on Saturday-- but I made over $1,700 that night so I still did well. I've had nights where it was as low as $16.

Damm Girl...that's a lot of dough.
This club must be bangin.
I'd say if you can take home a min of 3k plus per week, its worth it. Otherwise, find another place to go...and get a following to go with you.
