Re: Bachelor Party in Club
a club doesn't really "book" a bachelor party. bachelor parties call clubs and let them know they're coming so they have enough room (not always).
sometimes they just show up.
it's just like any other night at the strip club, except sometimes you are allowed to go into the VIP (in my club, the VIP isn't a private room or anything, just a section with booths) or you pay to got VIP. Sometimes the club will offer to take your bachelor onstage with a coupla girls and they handcuff/write on/striphim/whatever for a small fee (40bucks maybe?)
other than that, the club works the same. However, you can go to the club, pick whatever dancer you like most, and offer her a flat fee to entertain your table for an hour or two. It would be up to her if she would charge for the dances in addition to whatever negotiated fee.
however, from a consumer's standpoint, if you're going to have the party in the club, why not take advantage of that? you don't have to commit to one dancer, no flat fee for time, all of the dancers will make their way to your table and if you are spending money and aren't being obnoxious assholes you are guaranteed to always have AT LEAST one girl at your table.
Re: Bachelor Party in Club
When we get bachelor parties in my club, everything is exactly the same. The guys still have to pay full price for dances, drinks, etc. They usually call ahead of time to find out what the cover charge is, how many girls will be working, what the rules are, etc. (Sometimes they show up unannounced, but usually if it is a big party they will call ahead of time). The only thing we really do different is that for $50 the bachelor can get on stage with the dancer of his choice (or the choice of the guys in the party- sometimes they like to surprise the bachelor and get him dragged up on stage) and the dancer will give him a lap dance on stage, and rip his boxers off, and dump ice down his pants, and kind of just make a fool of him (all in good fun). But everything else is pretty much the same. We don't have VIP rooms here, just lap dance booths, but everything is regular price.
Re: Bachelor Party in Club
At the clubs I've worked at the bachelor parties work the same as if the guys came in on their own. The only difference is that they may have reserved seatung. You still charge for dances, and ultimately try to get the guys to go to a room.
I particularly don't like Bachelor parties. I'm not sure how it works in other clubs but every club in Atlanta that I have experience with the "parties" usually have 15 to 20 guys most on a budget and 1 to 2 guys really paying for the entertainment. The guys that are "just there for the show" drink, stand around, tip extremely sparingly on stage, cat call and grab at you. While the guys that are actually picking up most of the tab are being gentlemen and trying to keep everything organized and the bachelor happy. While in turn there are always the family members that got dragged along that are so uncomfortable that they just sit there hoping that the other family members doesn't notice that they might be having a good time... aka the father in law, grandpa, etc. that they end up not even drinking.
My experience is to make an effort to figure out who is the bankroll of the table, then go over in his earshot and do your best "Hustle" then pull as much money from the table as you can then get out. Try coming back a little later because bachelor parties usually want variety at first then they pick their faves and generally will send their guy to at least a 30min room. Make yourself readily available without hanging at the table too long unless you are with the bankroll guy or the bachelor, thats where you get your money. You don't want to get stuck at the wrong side of the table and some other girl get the room.
Personally, I just hit the table get as much money as I can, offer a room in earshot of the money man and the bachelor and walk away. I then randomly flirt as I finish working the room, that way they don't forget about me. I don't put alot of stock in the parties because 8 times out of 10 they are only good for a few dances not the real money.
I know it sounds crass but I have only worked in really large clubs in Atlanta and Bachelor parties are more of a hassle to us than help.

Re: Bachelor Party in Club
It looks like you're running a club? You should probably know all of this already . . .
Anyhow, most parties only negotiate for the cover. What they spend on the dancers is up to them. Some clubs do offer a public humiliation package at a flat fee, but other than that it's the same as any other group of guys.
