    Angry SC tried to charge us $30 cover. Fuck that!



    You know where I live and it isn't Vegas. My favorite local club tried to charge my date and I $15 each to get in. Granted, we now have this bullshit "sin tax" and there was a UFC fight.

    But I know the doorguy there, and he knows me. He ALWAYS lets me in for free. The last time he had to make us pay the $5 sin tax(fuck you Texas legislature). That's ok though. He also acted like he didn't know who I was talking about when I asked if my friend was working.

    I can only presume its because I was with a male date. But I've gone in before with guys and with dates. WTF, and how rude. $30 cover is completely unreasonable for this place. We left.

    I'm an SCJ like any other, $30 is a lapdance, drink, and stage-tip. Plus, I looked like an idiot in front of my date after telling him I'm such a baller and knew the people at this place. My pride is hurt, I'm well connected in this town and have a reputation to protect.

    The place was packed though, so what do they care.

    Care to name names (starts with a P?)?

    I might be heading down that way in June and was wondering how each club was handling the tax.

    It was Yellow Rose. Palazi-ho might have been charging even more because they actually stop the stage show and have a huge plasma onstage during the main UFC match. If I recall the last trip during UFC, cover there was $20 before the sin tax. I am not sure what P10 charges these days either, but I recall they used to have a couples=free night on Saturdays.

    I can hook you up with some free passes next time you come in town Doc, or at least you might only have to pay the $5 tax. The Rose is my myspace friend and always sending promo invitations. Last night was anomolous.

    Hell, I can get passes for anyone. The more of us not having to pay cover, the less money in their pockets. I want to save my bucks for more titties!

    Cerously though, I don't pay cover at the clubs, just usually tip the doorgirl well, this is a first for me!

    That's a big ass cover! Especially for a friend!

    My club is one of two in town who have refused to pay the stupid Sin Tax and made girls wear pasties and latex. BTW, thanks for the warning everyone, that shit looks fucking stupid!
    Anyways, we're undergoing a shift in management and ownership, so starting tomorrow, our cover goes from $2 to $5 and we get to take off the pasties! WOOT! Also, we weren't allowed to take off our bottoms onstage, we couldn't wear T-backs, so this is great!

    Our cover had been the lowest anywhere, as an incentive to get guys to come watch nipple-less girls dance around in shorts.

    But my old club is in court right now with tons of other Texas clubs, they're working on that stupid tax, WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN!!!

    Went to a Providence club recently and they'd up the door fee to $20. I was in such disbelief, I made the doorgirl repeat it three times. Fortunately I didn't have to pay the fee for my SO, but still, it was galling and offensive. I mean, Christ, we're talking about a club where I can get blown for $60, FS for under $100 usually and girl-on-girl action is basically free. Don't try to pass your club off as some sort of high-society gathering.

    Hahaha, that's awesome. Down here, anything more than $10 a person is ridiculous. Although $15 is $5 more, that price break goes above my comfort ceiling. If they took us both for $15, that would have been fine.

    One of the clubs here in Phoenix doubled their cover charge Super Bowl week, they upped it from $10-20, gouging bastards! There was lots of gouging going on by lots of people on everything that week though. Typically, if it's over $10 I reevaluate my options.

    I go primarily during the day so, with one exception, cover charges are generally not an issue. I was a bit shocked a few months ago when I took a dancer friend of mine to check out a new club and had to pony-up a ten dollar cover for each of us. Most of the clubs in my area don't charge women, especially if you tell them that you dance and are checking out the club. "Come back on amateur night and we won't charge either of you" was the response.

    What really bugs me is when the cover charge is inflated due to a "feature". In 2008 the word feature can mean some chic who has two scenes on the internet, a 30 something who hasn't been naked in front of a camera for years, or anything in between. I don't go for the features and I go early to avoid the whole atmosphere. One club in Providence fights this by starting the cover charge at 5pm instead of six when they have a feature...

    Kat I understand.

    I'm viewed as a good customer at my club. They don't "wave me in" because other customers who just paid their door fees might notice and go "WTF, that ain't fair". But the manager hooks me up with free passes So other patrons who might be watching see me doing a transaction at the door and dropping a buck in the door girls tip jar as I enter. They are satisfied that all is well in the world and they are being treated as equals.

    Silly plebeians, little do they know

    It's $30 per person to get into most Vegas clubs But I will be there next week, and someone needs to go. Might as well be me.

    Kat...I wonder how much it made them/cost them by having such a high cover charge. You and your date might have dropped a couple hundred bucks there or more. How many others turned around at the door just like you? I'm with you...fuck that.

    LOL I know people don't even bat an eye at $30 covers in Vegas anymore. Although, you can get around it if you drive yourself; even if you're not local.

    Ahh, but the Rhino is one of the few places where it may be justified. Picked up the cover for 3 of us, bought the newbie some dances, couple of rounds of drinks, and stage tipping = $300 without a dance. No place I'd rather spend a Wed. night in Vegas, though.

    I generally have no problem spending a few hundred when I go to the club yet a $15 cover would likely deter me from going in the first place.

    I don't know, there wasn't much going on around town. The local clubs are really letting the new Sin tax just let them fuck everyone in the ass. They've raised cover, drink prices, and housefees.

    They are having 2-4-1 night tonight though, so we might stop in if I can get some passes. Bullshit fucking law!

    That's fucking crazy. Either charge $8 for a drink or have a high cover but ya can't do both. Like you said, it's not Vegas. Not even Reno.

    During Community Titty night when me and Mr. W were behind the rest of y'all, the guy was all "$7 each, please." All I said was, "Oh, I'm here with (stripper's name)'s party," and the dude was back to his "Just tip the doorgirl" thing.

    You know what, don't they have to pay for the broadcast based on how many people come in? Maybe that's why they were tightassed about it.

    Would you be dropping a couple hundred dollars on the dancers? Or the club?

    Realize there are two bank accounts at play there.

    Oh, come on, do you think none of the money the strippers make finds its way into the club's bank account?


    I spoke with a woman who works at one of the firms working with TEA (the club legal association) at a party Saturday -- one of the titty tax tactics they are going to take, to demonstrate the stupidity of it, is to demonstrate how it could be applied to any venue with nudity and alcohol, like the Alamo Drafthouse and an R-rated flick.

    With the markup on drinks they have, believe me, the club would have made money. We went recently on a Monday, and only had to pay the $5 tax. It was happy hour too. Alas, there wasn't much talent, and I wasn't feeling it. I sat at the bar like a good girl and stayed out of the way.

    One of the local clubs, the Foxy Lady, used to have big-name adult stars feature there every month or so. At the time, they had a $5 cover during the day. I went there in the afternoon, as was sort of my habit at the time, and because Jenna Jameson was going to be there that night, they were trying to charge $30 ( the night cover was going to be $50 or $75 ). This was at 3pm and she wasn't even going to be there until 9pm. I had no interest in seeing her in the first place, so I checked out another local club, which immediately replaced FL as my club of choice. Looking back on it, I have to wonder why I was wasting my time there in the first place.
