Re:So how do you know someone has money?
Usually you cant tell by outter appearances and even what they do for a living sometimes doesnt matter either. Last Tuesday, there was a guy at my club and he worked as an EMT and apparently had the worst fashion sense LOL. He asked me for a lapdance and he was tipping 5 $20s a lap dance (just kept stickin em in my outfit). He asked me for 4 lap dances that night!! The tips and lapdances worth $20 a piece added up to almost $500!!!! Most of the time I keep an eye out for the guys who are tipping the girls $10s, $20s & $50s instead of $1s - thats usually how you know that they WANT to spend money.
Re:So how do you know someone has money?
There are always going to be exceptions to the rules. There will always be millionaires who dress in dirty jeans and shoes with a cheap shirt and ball cap. There will also be broke guys with nice clothes who got them at a discount store. Exceptions aside though, in major cities in major clubs, the simple rules as discussed here do apply quite often. For example, here in Vegas, at Club Paradise, you don't run into any middle-of-the-road guys. Most of their customers are walking in from the Hard Rock Hotel across the street. Many of the guys with money are wearing nice clothes, have nice hair, are well groomed, nice shoes, etc. Many of the guys without money are college students who just want to go to a "cool place" and walk in. They are very easy to spot. So the bottom line is, it really depends on the situation as to whether these rules apply or not. There are many circumstances where they may not, but also many, many times where they do.
It's like most of the rules of the biz...your milleage may vary. Some clubs cater to mostly bikers or truckers. You won't find many guys with Armani suits or Movado watches in there so these rules all go out the window. There are also times where these rules are extremely accurate where a club draws mostly middle-income guys and you see someone with a classy suit, great shoes, nice watch, etc.

There is one way to make sure that a man has money, and I got it from a Filipino Dental Assistant. If he is older than 30 check the teeth in his mouth. (This could be termed the "Austin Powers Test.)
Re:So how do you know someone has money?
The customer's side of this issue is how do you signal that you have and are in the mood to spend a significant wad of cash without being too crass about it.
My old technique was to tip an on-stage dancer with a $5, $10 or $20 instead of a $1 bill. This never failed to get her attention and bring her over to solicit a private dance after her set ended, and quite often other dancers noticed it too.
My new technique is to give the cocktail waitress an unusually large tip when she brings me the first drink. I find that she usually lets one or more of her dancer pals know...or at least appears to do so since I soon start getting more than my share of private dance nibbles in most cases. This approach not only has the advantage of being a bit less blatant, but usually the waitress only clues in the dancers that she particularly likes...which are also more likely to be the ones with actual (rather than put on) nice and friendly personalities.

To me it doesn't matter if his t-shirt is from 1982 and his pants are faded to death..... Are they clean ? Is he obnoxious? If all is good from that pointon he deserves my attention for a minute or two...

Nina I agree there are always exceptions but for the most part IMO guys that have significant money to spend dont come to the club in jeans and an old tee shirt. Id keep close eye on the minute that you spend with them pressing the stop watch button exactly at sixty seconds.
