    Default How long is your average shift?

    I was curious about how long you guys generally work as one "shift". At my club we come and go as we please, but you have to pay tip out when you come in so in my mind, it makes more sense to work a few longer shifts than pay tip out on a ton of short shifts.

    Anyway, I usually work 7-8 hours at a time, but it seems like a lot of girls at my club are happy to come in every day of the week for 1-2 hours and only make $150ish each time How long do you guys work for at a time?

    7 hrs... Required by all dancers.

    My last club I could come and go as I pleased. Was a much better arrangement! I would book regulars back to back and bank on 2 or 3 hrs of work!

    I wish I could come and go as I pleased! Of the three clubs I've worked at, 2 required a 6 hour minimum shift. The other required 8 hours.

    It really sucks sometimes, especially when the club is sooooooo dead. Eight hours can feel like forever.

    I work a 9 hour shift which can be pretty exhausting! Would love to work in a club where you can do your own hours!

    Our club has it where we can come and go as we please, but it bumps your house fee up by $30.

    If we work a min. of 3 days a week on "shift" (which is an 8 hour time block), you get the discounted house fee; and then any other days you come in aside from your required 3 days; you still get the discounted rate, but you only have to stay 5 hours.

    All in all, $70 bucks a night to come and go isn't TERRIBLE by Vegas standards, but it's certainly more worth it to get on schedule and just suffer through 8 hours.

    We can come in anytime before 10:30 p.m., but we have to stay until close which is around 3-4 a.m. So I usually get there at 10:30, actually get on the floor and start working around 11-12, and stay until close. So my shifts are about 4 hours, and during the busiest times of the night. If I came into work at 7 I'd be burnt out and frustrated by 12 and miss out on all the money. Some girls at my club do make bank if they come in at 7 because they're the only ones there, and they catch the business men who want to get in, get dances and get out before the drunk crowds.

    my first couple of clubs all required a min. of 8 hrs per shift... but the club I work at now is more lenient so I usually work around 4-5 hrs a shift.

    10 hours per day Monday-Friday. 8 hours on Saturday. 6 hours on Sunday.

    Most girls work less.... but I usually come in from open-close on the days that I work.

    The first club I worked at was the same setup as Sophia_Starina's; I wasn't allowed to come in for the later shift or leave early (dickhead manager). I suppose it was good training for getting through a hard shift. Since then, I've learned a love of flexible scheduling, and almost never work more than a 7 hour shift.

    In NJ, my average is 7 hours, 9 on weekend nights. Here in AZ, it's 5-6 hours, or 6-7 on weekends.

    Our shifts are 7-9 hours, depending on the day of the week and time you schedule. However I almost always stay from open to close (10-12 hrs) since I live so far away, I figure I might as well get my money's worth. Also our most lucrative hours are right at opening (business men on the way home from work) and closing (drunk kids looking for a place to party after the bars empty out). It's a long-ass shift, but I always have a book to read if it gets too boring.

    7 hrs sometimes 10 if i really need the money. My club is an hr away so it wouldnt be worth it to come for 2-3 hrs then leave even though were allowed to.

    My club has a come and go as you please policy and the shifts are 6 hours.

    4 good hours is about all you need and I'll stay longer when making money or if I feel like it.

    To me working 5 days a week defeats the purpose of being an exotic dancer. Don't we dance nekked so we don't have to work everyday?

    My policy is to work the best days and make them count. If I'm working 4 or 5 days a week at my club it's because I'm pulling in serious bank.

    5 hours. Our shift starts at seven, but they're pretty lenient and I roll in at about 8:30 or so and hit the floor at about 9 when the night starts picking up. The house fee is only ten dollars more and I'm not all frustrated by the typical slowness of 7-9.

    one club i worked at had a minimum of four days required, with 9 hour shifts each. i do not like 9 hour shifts, they are a burden. they wouldnt let the girls leave even if it was 1am with no customers in the club for 3 hours.

    needless to say,i dont work there anymore.

    We have a min of 4 hours, but its not really enforced. you could leave after about 3, especially on a busy night, and no one would say anything as long as you tip out. I like it because I'm in school and I cant work longer than 4 hours three days a week and still make it to class.
