New to board, and curious about Arizona clubs!
Hey'all!
Glad I found a board to talk with folks who KNOW what I'm saying!
I live in Seattle, and I don't know if anyone on the board has danced here, but this is a dead state for the clubs- the laws are slowly but surely putting strippers out of business. I have danced in Portland (nice, but would like a change), and Reno (very nice, but that was a few years ago, heard things have changed for the worse), and I have been wondering about AZ.- what are the clubs like (alcohol, nude oor not, lap dances or stage only, etc.), which are the better ones, what are the state requirements (here in Seattle, a license that entails a fee, fingerprinting and criminal background check), are there high seasons to aim for, etc....
Any info would be great!

Mermaid,
If you scroll through the old boards, there are a lot of threads on Phoenix. Rather than re-iterate all the finer points, here's AZ in a nut shell:
High season is now through April. Lots of golfers from the midwest and East, and spring training in march. Jan is Fiesta Bowl, car auctions, and PGA tour.
Like Vegas, the best clubs are topless. Topless clubs have$10 dances. Hi volume and hustle. We can't drink on the floor so there is very little sit and schmooze unless you sell a champagne hour.
Best 3 clubs in Phoenix are Christie's, Bourbon St., and Babes.

Cool.. Thanks for the info!

Hey Mermaid, I work in Tucson, just a little over 2 hour drive from Phoenix. Just like Britney said, the topless clubs are better than the nude. We don't have champagne rooms here though (don't ask me why). We have 3 nude clubs and 6 topless clubs (it's a smaller city). Depending on which club you go to, you can make bank. We also get a lot of golfers and we get some Kentucky Derby type people here, spring training too. You also can't drink on the floor. The topless dances go anywhere from $6 to $10 and nude dances go from $20-$30. Topless make better money because of sheer volume. The cost of living here is not very high, relatively low compared to what I make.
The best clubs here (listed in order):
Nude: Bunny Ranch
Topless: Ten's, TD's East, Curves
There's tons of money making potential down here especially in Ten's, you should definitely at least make a trip down here to vacation a little and see the clubs, maybe do an amatuer night or two.

Hi-Liter, Centerfolds, Amazon and Candy Store in that order are nice clubs with good volume and very pretty dancers. My fiance' was born and raised in Phx and I worked there and in Yuma for awhile.Platinum Cabaret in Yuma is a nice upscale club that I worked at but money is hit and miss. Lots of PHX girls go there to work also.
Lots and lots of dancers there and dances are only $10. Arizona is a "wanna dance"environment so to make your money there you need to sell dances in volume. Money is hit and miss as the ratio of dancers to customers is ridiculous nowadays.
Christie's is a very nice club and really picky hiringwise. Babes only hires 1 out of 35 girls who audition. I believe Hi-Liter hires on Sunday nights.It does good business day and night but has lots of girls.
Steady liveable money is getting harder to come by in PHX because of so many girls but between now and early April is the snowbird season where you have a chance of higher earnings.
Tucson as Shayden says may be better as they used to have less dancers but high volume clubs .800,000 people live there with 6 clubs vs 3,200,000 in PHX with about 20 topless and 12 or so nude clubs.

Wow you guys! I know more about AZ now than I did in 10 years of dancing!! ;D
Thanks!
Re: New to board, and curious about Arizona clubs!
I have to agree about Tucson being good money. I worked in Curves on a trip and it was good. Place was packed and guys were spending. There is basically no sit and chat time - you just work your way around the room asking for dances. You'll get several dances on your way around - most guys would get 3-5 at a whack. Then by the time you've made it all the way around the room, there's alot of different guys and you just head back around again. Round and round, dance after dance. Easy money. The money I made there was a little lower than what I'm used to making, but for the cost of living there it's great money! I'd say it evens out...
