    Default so is it just a rumor that..

    you can fly to Vegas and make a thousand or more in one weekend?

    Does Vegas slow down over summer or get busier due to tourists?

    If you are new to dancing ... don't try Vegas. Some of the best dancers around the country travel to Vegas and it's often a lot of the toughest hustlers in one area - so you probably won't make much.

    With that being said, a lot of dancers are moving away from Vegas because the money has gotten so bad with the recession. That city depends a lot on tourism and there's just not as much of it these days.

    There's still money to be made there, but the money that was there back in the '80's & 90's is not there now. You'll be better off building up consistent regulars until you really learn how to hustle before trying to move around much.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Hi Kylea, I feel like we are getting to know each other

    Understandable, the best dancers will be living there or flying there..I'm getting pretty good at selling shows when we have customers in the club..am hoping our area gets busy soon with tourist season coming. Just restless..but you are right about the regulars.

    Yeah I've heard that Vegas is about as crummy as everywhere else too.

    I would agree with Kylea2 and Zinaida. If you're new to dancing it won't be much better for you sorry to say. Summer is probably one of the worst times to dance in Vegas. It's too damn hot!

    I've only worked in Las Vegas. As a newbie, it was a nightmare. I remember one of the girls asked me my first night where else I had worked and I told her nowhere. She said, "You decided to START stripping in Las Vegas?! I hope you learn fast."

    I've had great nights where I've made over $1000 without even trying and I've had nights where I went home in tears with a whopping four dollars. You could have an awesome weekend or you could lose money on the trip. I've met girls who travel out here regularly and seem to consistently make enough to make it worth their while but I've also met women who came out here looking for big money and left PISSED screeching about what a horrible place Vegas is.

    If you can afford the trip, give it a shot but if losing money on the trip would hurt you... I wouldn't recommend it.

    If you're a HARD HUSTLER and willing to work 12 hours a shift if needed you can make $1,000 a night. Vegas has some of the most aggressive dancers I've ever seen. You really need to be on top of your A-GAME and have a TOUGH SKIN.

    BTW, in Vegas it's not how you look, it's how hard you hustle. I've seen super hot chics lucky to make their housefee & tipout and unattractive dancers bank.

    Don't come here w/ expectations ... you'll more than likely leave extremely disappointed. If you're coming for vacation then sure, try dancing, but if you're doing well $$ where you're at and you want to only work here don't waste your time.

    is a 1,000$ weekend really worth traveling for?

    i mean subtract expenses and the time involved in traveling. it seems that 1,000$ weekends are feasible in many places if you work 2 or 3 nights. thats just my 2 cents.

    and keep in mind i am someone who travels to work.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Same thing I was thinking. With the cost of accomodations/flight/food/entertainment I would expect those things to cost me at least $1000. I would probably want to make between 3-5K to call it a business trip that was worth my while.

    i probably wouldn't do it.

    but lets say a strpper lived in some area where money totally sucked and extras were cheap and abundant and every customer knew who to ask. if she wants to strip, she'll have to travel someplace. may as well travel to vegas if that's the case.

    or if she lived in a place where money was good, but she didn't want to get caught. there's not another town nearby with good money, so why not travel to vegas.

    Travel to make $1000? Thats not worth it. After expenses thats BS.

    PLUS I have some good friends who live and dance in Vegas right now and they are seasoned dancers who can milk money out of a brick. Like they seriously can make money anywhere and they are having a hard time making money.

    Keep in mind Vegas was THE spot so when money started drying up everyone flooded there to work. Now the clubs are over flowing with dancers, a lot of nights there are more girls then customers. Clubs wont say no because they want the house fees.

    Also keep in mind Vegas has some hellish high house fees and tip outs.

    No offense but if you go to Vegas to dance these days your stupid. There are so many other places to go. The midwest is one of the best places to dance in the US right now. Not big cities.

    i dont know if it was just a rare case cause she said she came out to visit (originally from la)...but i mean money/clubs have never been amazing in la, so if vegas is so good can't you afford to take a weekend off? it was sort of a baffling moment for me.

    I work at a big club. Last night there were so many girls who barely made their house fee back, if at all (sat night -march madness!!). I am talking about exceptionally good looking seasoned pros who know what they are doing. I heard that Friday night was even worse. If you can make $200 just dancing after house and tip outs, you are lucky. There is always a possiblity that you can get lucky and meet the right guy. But remember there are always more dancers than customers. Always!

    Most clubs out here have a ton of employees who will hussle you for money whether you choose to use their services or not. Check in desk, valet (talk about total extortion.. Y would anyone who is a working class person choose to use valet? get real) some clubs have bathrooms where you are expected to tip the bathroom attendent, some clubs make the girls tip the managers $20 every day on top of all the other fees. Of course there is also the traditional house mom, VIP bouncers and DJ tipout too. Some clubs have mandatory minimum tipout amounts for dj, housemom and vip bouncers and those clubs could care less if you made a profit or not. If you don't pay you will be fired.

    I also heard that vice busted a bunch of girls at Cheetahs last night. Things are so bad out here that the cops aren't even going after criminals. They are just trying to go after easy targets like strippers and minor traffic offenses (not turning on your turn signal half a mile in advance or going 2 miles over the speed limit.) The city is broke and they just want to make $$$. The cops will literally put girls in jail for lap dances or give them a ticket ranging anywhere from $800 - $1,200. This can happen even for telling vice that the vip is more private. The prostitutes are protected and they never get busted. Recently we have had hookers off the street coming into the club and trying to steal customers.

    You also need a $65 Sherriff card and a $200 Business Liscence. If you don't cancel your business liscence within certain amount of time before your renewal date you will have a fine.

    I would love nothing more than to get the hell out of this town but I don't have the money. We have the second highest unemployment in the country.

    excuse my language but good gawd..I'm sorry to hear that Loren. Sounds like vegas is not really the place to be right now.

    I had originally thought about visiting family in Phoenix and flying to Vegas for the weekend and at least make enough money to cover costs. Sounds like i might be eaten alive.

    thanks for the heads up no pun intended..may just sit tight haha pun again

    I don't recommend traveling here right now. I also work in Vegas, and have only worked in Vegas - it's NOT easy starting out as a newbie. It's really a town for the hardest hustlers, the girls with thick skin, etc.

    I've been doing pretty well and consistent lately. It's no where NEAR the money girls back when used to make, but it's enough to match the salary I get on my day job, so I can keep money in the bank and pamper myself a little.

    Some girls have a lot of trouble out here. Loren has had brushes with Vice I don't envy, and with the raid that just happened on the Cheetah and Deja Vu getting it's liquor license, the vice activity will be up by quite a bit. The next couple months are not gonna be a good time here.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the crazy vice activity I heard they raided OG last week ... not surprising since extras is the theme of that club.

    Loren is right ... say the simplest thing, not even implying touching, sex, etc. and vice can bust you ... ugh!

    Re: Phoenix ... Hiliter (busy day & night) and Bourbon Street IMHO are the only clubs worth trying ... and the license is only $24, well it was when I was there last year. My gf works at Jaquar and she said it's hit or miss ... I didn't try that club when I was there so I don't know. Also, IMHO do NOT waste your time at Skin ... besides the license of $120 they have waaaaaay too many girls for that small club and sometimes the owner will send girls home if they have too many dancers ... it's not the place to work it was rumored to be.

    Athena is so right. There used to be plenty of places where you could make $1K + a night, but there are still plenty of places where you can make $1K over the weekend that don't include Vegas.

    Vegas use to be that way from my girls that use to go out there about 3 years ago. I mean anything can happen and you could probably make that much..but like some others said, its gonna requrie a LOT of hours.

    My friends that travel to New York and work at the Hustler club..that's where they bank a lot of money...although in the last year they have seen a decline in their income from dancing there with the economy and all. But still ..they go to make big money..so they always do pretty well no matter what..even if the ole days were much better $$. They tell me they get a lot of business men and European tourists that are use to paying high dollars for dances and VIP.
