Re: Adelaide South Australia
I've narrowed my list down to the following places:
Blue Galah Backpackers Hostel
Adelaide Best Budget International Backpackers
Sunny's
Now all I have to do is await their email replies and find out which place offers me the best deal for 14 nights accommodation.
;D
Re: Adelaide South Australia
hey! this link is to a site that has backpackers around the world with reviews from backpackers ( a bit like this site with the club reviews). i hope you find it helpful. Let me know how it goes down there, i have been thinking of going to crazy horse for a while, just to try it out. but i might go to darwin or rocky first, i'm not really sure. I f you know the better one to go to at this time of year please let me know.

just incase you don't know, yha backbackers are usually pretty good as they have certain standards, but they can be a bit moe expensive, however they can be a good back up if you don't like where you stay. You can also book your first night in one and then look around that day to see if you like any others instead. Goodluck!
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Adelaide Best Budget is so far the best looking option as they offer free internet access along with the seventh night free. Blue Galah offers just the seventh night free and is slightly more expensive than Best Budget. Still yet to hear back from Sunny's.
I am unsure still whether I'll be going for just a week or a fortnight. It really depends on my finances. Regardless, I plan to work at Crazy Horse in February for up to 5 nights. I want to give that club a decent go (and therefore post a review of it for everyone elses' benefit).
;D
Thanks for the link sexy sunny :)
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Just FYI, the YHA in Adelaide is just around the corner from the Horse (maybe 150m away) if that's a consideration.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
GoldCoastGirl, would love to read a review of working opportinities in Adelaide, I've always wanted to go, would be good to know where to earn some money while there! :)
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Well... the decision has been made even tho' I havn't paid a cent to do anything yet. My actual plans are to spend a limited time only in Adelaide... work only at one club (Crazy Horse).. and go back home. I want to be exposed to what it is like to work elsewhere however can't totally afford to go for so long when it is such an unknown.
My whole trip will cost me less than $1000 (more like $950 at the most). Therefore I should be able to make back most (if not all plus a little profit) of the trip by working at Crazy Horse Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun and Mon. I might or might not work Friday night.
I'll be most likely staying at Adelaide Best Budget International Backpackers as they offer a single room at $42 per night including seventh night free, free internet, tea and coffee and so forth. Decent price and from what I have been told... everything is within walking distance.
I plan to arrive Tues 8th Feb... leave Wed 16th Feb. Total of 8 nights working 5 of those 8 nights. I want some time off and a little bit of a holiday ;D
Now all I have to do is pay for everything... airfare first, accommodation (put a deposit down at least) and book my airport2home transfer transportation (so I don't miss my flight). ;D
I'll keep everyone updated as to if this is actually going to happen or not.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
crazy horse down those ways sounds like a wicked place to dance!! im definatly interested in how this goes, ive heard adelaaid is a great place to make money.
you go girl!!
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Sunny's got back to me.... going to go with them in the end. (update: I have now booked my flight, reserved my accommodation and paid for my airport2home transfer... this is definately happening!). One week only at Crazy Horse.
It is a mini holiday for me. I want to be surrounded by four different walls (as such). It will refresh me. Plus I want to find out for myself what Crazy Horse in Adelaide is all about.... after working 5 nights there I will definately have a good feel about the place.
I plan to arrive Tues 8th Feb... leave Wed 16th Feb. Total of 8 nights working 5 of those 8 nights. Therefore working Wed, Thu, (maybe Friday), Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'll give Crazy Horse a call closer to the date. Since I'm only working there for a short time and I'm providing my own accommodation and airfare.... they will most likely allow me to work.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
A slight change of plans....... I'm going to go to The Palace as my first preferance with Crazy Horse as my second. I've heard more about The Palace than I have about Crazy Horse and a dancer at my home club (the other night) had just come back from Adelaide (and who's opinion I do respect as far as club choices go).... said The Palace was the way to go.
Seems like the clubs work on percentage over in Adelaide and Crazy Horse takes 40% whereas The Palace takes something more akin to 20%. I was also told that Crazy Horse requires its dancers to "work harder" (more stage sets to do).
I have emailed The Palace today (Thursday - late afternoon). I will probably give them a call on Monday (as I was told by this dancer that TPs does it dancer roster every Monday).
I only plan to work 3-4 nights in total now. I still might work at Crazy Horse except for only one or two nights instead... depends if I can do that (pull it off) ;D
None-the-less, I'm very much looking forward to this trip. Work has been crap for the last few weeks at my home club... I sooooo need the break.
"A change is as good as a holiday"... and that is what I require right now.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
You can also find this information in my review of The Palace in the Clubs and Reviews section. I had to add "The Palace" as it wasn't already listed there so the review will be coming soon for there... meanwhile... if you want to know more detailed information (such as my actual experience) ... try reading about it in my Yahoo Group (free to join).
I worked Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat. Saturday was my only lucrative night as it was the only night the whole week that the club was busy due to MANY Bucks Parties happening.
Due to the no. of dancers working, I only managed to appear on stage once or twice a night. Therefore, most of the money is made via the private lap dances.
There are two types of private lap dances: normal and VIP. Or you can refer to them via the "room" names: The Absolut Vodka room private lap dances or the Jim Beam room lap dances.
The normal dance price is charged in 10 minute periods - $50 per 10 minutes. No touching of the dancer what-so-ever. Full nude. Depending on the dancer, will depend on how "high" mileage the dance will be... I probably provided medium mileage compared with what most of the other house girls were doing.
The VIP/Jim Beam room price is $60 per 10 minutes. It is supposed to be no touching however due to the extra privacy of the room (it is a large room separated into three separate sections by curtians making each section extra private compared with the normal private dance room)... I'm not quite sure what does and does not happen back there. (Read about it my Yahoo group)
The dancer received $40 regardless if she is doing a VIP or normal dance. Therefore, there is no real monetary incentive for a dancer to promote or do the VIP room. I personally will no longer promote it now and prefer to dance in the "common" lap dance room (it is a shared room). (Once again, refer to my posts in my Yahoo group for more information)
The Palace has "club dollars" which can be bought in $2 denominations. Most of the patrons who are sitting stage-side will have the club dollars and tip you as such. One night I received dollar for dollar when I cashed them in.... on another night it was split 50/50 ($1 for me, $1 for club)... however I'm told the general policy is that the club dollars are split 50/50.
The stage is rostered and you are doing 10 min. stage sets. You strip down to G-String unless you feel you have enough in tips to warrant you going full nude. I personally stuck with a min. of $10.. $20 even better.. in "club dollars" as well as cash before I went full nude. Even then, thanks to the restrictions from my home club, I wasn't prepared to do open leg work when full nude and be rather "shy" (in a way) with showing my pussy. (You can do open leg work when nude on stage - just not too much.. be classy not crass)
Since the club received min. $10 out of every normal $50 lap dance that you do... there are no stage fees, tipouts or anything extra to "fork out".
The dressing room is one long room behind the stage. The DJ or whoever will go back there every so often esp. if more than 3 dancers are "out back" to get us all back on the floor.
Due to being an interstate dancer, I was shown lenancy in start and finishing times. Sarah, the dancer manager who is lovely, rostered me on for 10pm starts each of my nights....however I always was ready by 9pm (as per my normal routine).
As for the hours. Friday and Saturday are (naturally) the longest. The club will stay open until 7am. I personally had trouble staying awake and keeping my body from falling apart anytime after 5am. Can you blame me? The longest I usually work at my home club is until 5am... and even then I find that I'm usually home by 5.30am. During the week, it can close anywhere from 3.30am until 5am. When it does decide to close early, you cannot leave (even tho' you are ready and there are hardly any patrons) until the last dancer on stage has done her stage set.
If you are so inclined, esp. if you have a title (or four) "under your belt", you can inform the club that you would like to do shows. The shows are clothed to nude.. you can use a prop (one girl used a hulla-hoop) however most do not. I think you get paid for them... I am unsure on that one. Ask Sarah (the dancer manager - see The Palace website for more info).
I was also informed that you can "do a deal" with The Palace. The Palace will pay half of your accommodation cost if you do a min. of 5 nights a week... don't know for how long you have to do this.. however it is worth inquiring about if you want a working holiday in Adelaide for two weeks or longer.
All in all I will go back however only during the "high money" times such as the Clipsal 500. Unfortunately, I'm going to be in Rockhampton during Clipsal so I'll miss out this year.
What I saw when I went into Crazy Horse Adelaide for just over an hour around mid-night on Tuesday night (before I left)... turned me off Crazy Horse. I have no idea how that club works and I really don't know if I want to give it a go.
For the Gold Coast girls, esp. those who have worked within Players Showgirls, you will like The Palace. I say this as this is the closest local club correlation I can drawn upon so you can have an idea. It is classy.. yet classy in the way Players was before Hollywood (my home club) opened.
My experience at The Palace made me appreciate a few things about my home club (Hollywood Showgirls). I can now go back with a new found appreciation of my home club. It has its many faults (the dancer manager being a big one), yet now I know what its strengths are... ;D
Re: Adelaide South Australia
I have been informed ( if anyone can confirm or deny this information please do ) that Crazy Horse and The Firm doesn't hire out-of-town dancers unless they are willing to stay for a decent amount of time (a month or longer).
I'm thinking the only way to get into Crazy Horse for a short amount of time is as a feature dancer and therefore have a title.
Looks like if I ever do go back to Adelaide for some work.. I will work at The Palace.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
You should PM DJ Lewi - he floats around this board occassionally. He DJ's at Crazy Horse.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Well hello there Goldcoast Girl
You should have come in to the Crazy Horse from Wed to Sat to really understand what the club is about. Having been there for an hour on Tuesday Night doesnt give you a real understanding of what the club is about.
Im not going get on a platform and say my club is better that this other club blah blah blah. Because i think some girls will like a certain club for a particular reason and dislike a club for another reason. It obviously comes down to how much money you can make and how hard you can hussle. Adelaide is a place where the crowds are hard to win over but if you play your cards right you will make good money no matter what club you work at.
At the Crazy Horse we do hire girls from interstate who come over for holiday's or just to get out of their State. One regular girl who comes over from Melbourne every few weeks makes a packet and even freaked out when she was handed a $100 tip by one of our customers. I only know this because it was me she was bragging to. We have other girls now and then that have come from Sydney and Queensland for a couple of weeks at a time.
You missed out on a big week in Adelaide for Clipsal and some of our girls have made up to $1,000 and more, just on the Friday nite. Very busy weekend.
All i can say is come down and try it out before you review or bag The Crazy Horse. And if any of your Dancer friends tell you not to come in for whatever reason dont listen to them. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Next time I will not back out/down and apply for work at Crazy Horse.
I realise that Clipsal was like Indy for me (Gold Coast) however I was elsewhere (Rockhampton) unfortunately. The timing was off for me.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
Just to update this thread:
My plan (not set in stone) is to dance in Adelaide for two to three weeks in January 2006. It all depends on my finances near the end of December. If I stay for two weeks, I will dance in 108s in my first week and then Crazy Horse in my second week. If I stay for a third week, I will dance in whichever club I liked best.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
how can you decided on just one week at each club you like better? .. i dont really think that both managers of either club would be happy with you just working one week then going to another club or somewhere else.. sorry just my 2 cents
youre best bet would be to come to Adelaide during march when the Adelaide 500 is on .. youll make a killing then ..

From my personal experience, alot can happen within 5 nights at a club therefore it can give me a really decent view of what it is like (for me) to work within that particular club. Also, as for working one week at one club and one week at another.... since I'm not a local dancer and I have no idea as to when I shall return to Adelaide... I figured that the clubs would be used to dancers (like myself) who aren't going to be 'in town' for all that long.
I did the same in Melbourne a year or so ago now when it wasn't supposedly okay to do... that's really only for the 'local' girls that rule not dancers who don't dance in Adelaide regular enough.
As for the Clipsal 500... I thought it would similar to Indy and would be a great way for me to get bookings for Indy... however I'm skeptical as to how lucrative it really is for me since even the backpacker accommodations 'up' their prices (I like to cap my travel expenses at $1000).
In the end, if the other club won't allow me to work at it because I worked at a competing club the following week... then that will only make me think negatively of that particular club and hence give out such information to other dancers.

Re: Adelaide South Australia
Dude, again, why are you posting this randomly in all of our threads? How annoying. No one wants to trade a lapdance for a goat, sorry man.
Re: Adelaide South Australia
I'm giving Crazy Horse a miss for this trip. I will eventually dance there however I would love to give it a go when I am 'somebody' (ie when I'm published as one of Nikki's Girls as such). None-the-less, I'm giving Club 108s a go as they gave me a pretty good deal (I'm getting (pretty much) free accommodation in return for working at their club for the time I'm in Adelaide).
Plus I feel it will be a fun club to work within as well as an interesting one (with how its set up with the raffle tickets and what-not).
I'm going this Wednesday for 15 nights. I plan to start working on Thursday night (do Thur, Fri, Sat, Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat, Mon.). Be very aware that due to changes both aethetically and what-not, my trip report may become out of date within 3 months time from my trip.

GoldCoastGirl
I hope you have fun and make lots of money, come say hello to us on your next trip
Re: Adelaide South Australia
My next trip to Adelaide will FOR SURE be to Crazy Horse as I will be 'published' in January in re: Nikki's Girls. I will be able to go in and say I'm someone hence this will (hopefully) get me on the main stage and doing shows. I figured that it would be best to stick with one club each trip so that if anyone wants to partake of my pleasures (as such) they will know where to find me instead of hopping from club to club (too unstable).
