I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
Those are two separate statements that two different girls I know of have said.
My friend is a black dancer, on the thick side, who tends to struggle to make money here in the upscale Detroit clubs. About a month ago, she told me that she had her mind set on dancing in Miami and was gonig to make "lots of money." I urged her not to do this; I've seen SO many threads here on SW saying that money in Miami is terrible/hard to make, and if she isn't a top or at least middle earner in Detroit, she certainly isn't going to go to Miami and bank. She told me the reason she has this idea is because a girl from a Detriot club told her she just got back from Miami and made 1200 a night "without even trying." The girl who told her this is a good-looking black girl who tends to not make much money here in Detroit either. The girl claims the club she was at was mixed/white. She doesn't do extras. I don't see how this is possible. Once I let my friend read some threads here on SW, she decided not to go to Miami (she couldn't afford to get there anyway).
Onto the girl who claims she never left with less than 2,000 in a night in Vegas: my friend was working in Detroit and met a black girl who was there as a customer with a guy who was apparently a sugar-daddy type. She talked to my friend for a while. I didn't see her, but my friend described her as "pretty, with braces, kind of thick/curvy, big boobs, brown skin, well-spoken" who was urging my friend to go dance in Vegas. She told my friend the most she's ever made in Vegas is 8K in one night and least she's ever walked away with is 2K. She also says she doesn't do extras (me and my friend are very against extras). She told my friend, "if you go to Vegas and don't leave with at least a grand a night, you did something wrong." I broke the news to my friend that is, also, is a fallacy.
I simply can't bring myself to believe that a girl who barely makes money in Detroit can just up and go to Miami and makes 1200 a night without trying, and that another girl can dance in Vegas, never leave with less than two grand, and claim that just about anyone can go there and make a grand a night. I know Vegas is highly populated, but it's also heavily populated with dancers and the competition is WAY tougher. I really feel like both these girls went out of town and came back to Detroit with fabricated earnings. I know of too many girls who have gone to Vegas and struggled, who were all attractive and good hustlers. Sure, it's possible to make thousands in Vegas, but is it probable to do it every night? And Miami, too, of all places?
Just thought I'd share this because I don't buy it. Do any of you girls think this is true? If you don't, what's with girls going to the so-called money cities and coming back with inflated, false numbers?

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
i think that MAYBE they did do that well ( but like desuves said, why wouldn't they go back?) but sometimes when a girl isn't making anything at her club, and other know it, she feels the need to justify herself and say " well, im not earning anything here, but i was earning X amount back there!" know what i mean? idk, just my thought.
a lot of dancers take personal pride in their earnings ( of course!) and feel it relfects on who they are and their worth as humans. i will feel shattered to the core if i had a string of bad nights, it will really affect my self esteem. trying to stop doing that..so it could just be talk, and a way for them to brag?? not to say that some girls don't do very well there. different clubs for different girls n all.
all i know is, if i were earning between 2k and 8k a night, why the fuck would i leave??

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
I think some of these stories are true...Not sure about Vegas but I know a black dancer who says the same thing about Miami. She worked one week at my club but said she wasn't coming back because in Miami @ KOD) she makes 1500 during the day shift. She's dark skin, hourglass, flawless makeup and hair and has pole skills. At my club she wasn't making anything like that and complained about the 900 she made on a Wednesday night there. According to her my club was racist, I was working to hard and I needed to go to Miami.
Another girl who I've known since I started dancing moved to Atlanta to start dancing. She just started working the day shift this week at a very big well known club everyone raps about. She's a pretty dark skin girl, small butt and small chest, not skinny but no where near fat... Her first day it was dead only a couple hundred. Next day she made over $6,000 .......yes six grand. A regular customer come in threw 50k on stage and each girl got 4k.
Now although it doesn't happen everyday I hear these stories a lot. It seems the south is where the money is especially for black dancers.

A lot of the time... these stories are exaggerated.
This cannot be said enough. I just nod and smile when girls at work start going on about how much money they make in other cities and ranting about how it's not like that here. Just let them have their overinflated earnings.

Crazy $ nights can happen @ KOD in Miami for pretty black/ brown girls that are the right body type who can pole dance and ass shake . They also have events with wealthy urban celeb types and people make it rain frequently. These same girls banking here might make nothing in Detroit. A lot of girls who told me there was no $ in Miami couldn't have worked at KOD - so they were right -for them. Urban model types can do well there though in a few spots.
I dont buy consistent Vegas $ stories though....

^no doubting that some girls can make a lot of money in different places..but again, why leave if you are making so much to go where you make nothing?

Most stripper earnings are like penis sizes: inevitably exaggerated and disappointing once the truth is revealed. -_-

LoL you got that shit right!!!!! LoL I remember working with this girl whom everyone nicknamed her "copy cat" bc not only did she copy everyone's look , she also would talk of going to Vegas & making oh so much $$ but a day or two later i'd ask her about it again and she'd have a different fabrication such as ya they wouldn't hire me but later found out that she flaked out on even going to Vegas..... LoL then again this girl was an odd ball, she lied about everything & was the kind that would try to one up you on whatever you were saying or what you've done.

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
I believe the stories about black dancers working down south and making a killing.
As a NYer, the reason girls don't just stay down south even though there's good money is because their life is here in NY. Not everyone wants to just up and move away from their family/support system, change their kid's school, lose their apartment, etc. for the sake of making more money.
As far as the girls saying they make way more money consistently at a different club in the same city? That's just stupid.

^^^^ IA. While I'd probably bank like crazy in places like Atlanta with my whooty, I live in California and didn't want to leave and so I gave up dancing. Whootys are looked at like a third nipple here by hiring managers lol. Even if you're toned as fuck. And the urban clubs are way too brothely.

I do think strippers exaggerate their earnings.. Why else does it take them 8-10 years to finally quit? If you're really making a grand a night you should only be dancing for 6 months to a year.. I mean, really.

The money is really great in Miami.

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
It seems like down south you gotta have a big booty and pole skills. I'll stay my skinny no-ass big boobs tatted half white metalhead self north of the Mason-Dixon line and keep on entertaining the Yanks. :D I had entertained the idea of a strip trip down south but after much discussion I decided to stick to AC. My boyfriend summed it up for me: "They want 'Big Booty Judy' down there! You are skinny, white, you have big tits and no ass. You dance to metal! You won't make it down there!"

not necessarily.. gotta consider inflation and the fact that a lot of dancer only work 2 or 3 nights a week. and they have to pour money into their look as well as bills, who knows how much they are able to save. depends on the individual i think.

I really hate checking on this site and seeing comments like this.
If there was a psychiatrist/real estate agent/stock broker making $1,000 a day, would you expect them to quit after a year too? And you wrote "finally quit" like we're all counting down the days to retirement. Believe it or not, some women take stripping seriously and do it for as long as they can because it's a lucrative job for them. Maybe after 8-10 years they finallllly quit because dancing for a decade in 6-8 inch heels is torture on knees and feet not to mention, there's a time frame where you get the highest ROI in this career, and that time frame is relatively short.
Please for the love of baby Jesus, let this be the last "do you think they really made this much money" type of thread. What one girl makes is based a little on luck and mainly on how she works and looks so we can't base our expectations off of another dancer because we are all different. At one of my main clubs, there are girls that make $250 on an average night and girls that make $2,000 on an average night. We are not all created equal in this and ymmv.

Strippers that make serious money don't brag about making money.

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
Plenty of top earners I know post pics online when they've had an exceptionally good night.
But I think this thread is mainly about girls that went on strip trips, came back to their home club, and were asked about it. So they're not really bragging, just answering questions.

Oops. I shouldn't talk in absolutes... there are always exceptions to the rule. My bad.
Also sorry for the misunderstanding. :-\

Just wanted to say this statement is bullshit! I don't inflate my earnings( I've traveled with several girls here who can attest to this and I'm gonna dance till I don't bank anymore! I bought my first house at 21 before dancing and my second at 22 6 months after I started and I'm on my third and have a nice savings. I could retire....but why if I love what I do and still bank. I work maybe 60-100 shifts a year unlike most people in the corporate world. So you'd have tobe an ass to not milk this industry for all it's woth. Um if you have the skills to do so....

I had to look up 'whooty' on urban dictionary, I am so lame, but now I know I am also a whooty yay

Re: I made 1200 a night in Miami and never left with less than 2 grand in Vegas...
With regard to the original post those numbers sound hugely inflated however I have noticed that some women find their niche in certain cities for example the very barbie looking dancers (big fake breasts, nose job, platinum hair and extensions) do really well in London but in other towns don't do so well. I suppose because their look is considered over the top by men from smaller towns. Also as mentioned in other posts thick looking girls get mad appreciation in some cities, not in others.

Yes, I've seen many threads where the majority of girls say Miami absolutely sucks so that's what I've been led to believe about Miami clubs. That's why the "1200 a night without even trying" sounded off.

You are basically right in your first post that if they aren't even average earners at your home club more than likely they aren't going to be top earners anywhere. I tell girls this about M.B. every year and New Yprk, vegas, dallas , any major city or place that has events and brings in 100 plus girls a night you have to be a top earner in any state/ club to be one in the major cities! Like girls here if you go to xyz you'll make 1000 plus a night! If you aren't capable of being a high earner just because you go to a place were, yes there are girls making that doesn't mean YOU will!
