    Smiley Grand Opening of DreamGirls at Ricks tonight!

    Hi everyone! Tonight is the grand opening of DreamGirls at Rick's here in Seattle I'll be there with bells on if anyone is going!

    They're still looking for dancers and waitstaff if anyone is in the area and needs a job. I will be sure to make a really detailed report late tonight when I get home!

    Ok, so I was there last night from 9:30 until midnight.

    The club is beautiful. Probably around 8,000 sq ft, it's pretty large. In the main room there are two stages.

    The main stage: Runway type stage with a round part on the end. It's probably around 35-40 ft long. There's a regular stationary pole on the back part, but on the round part on the end, unfortunately the "pole" is a support beam they couldn't work around that's been "plated" for lack of a better word with smooth shiny material.

    The back stage: A regular rectangular stage with two spinning poles on it. Both stages have a white painted wall in the back which frames the dancers nicely. Both stages are sparkly.

    Lighting: Lots of pink and purple lights, it's say it's medium in brightness. Definitely lighter than most of the Seattle area clubs, but I liked that it was easier to see around.

    Floor dances are $20, and are done on banquettes lining the room. From what I observed, they are light contact, light grind.

    3 for $100 is done in a lap dance room in high backed cushy booths.

    VIP:

    The regular rooms are beautiful with plush leather couches. I really can't say enough about the decor- my husband said it reminded him of Hustler in NOLA. A few of them have mirrors, a few have flat screens in them. They are priced as follows:

    $150 for 15 min: you keep $100
    $275 for 30 min: you keep $200
    $600 for 60 min: you keep $500

    They have one special room, the "Vegas Room" where there is a mini stage and a pole. This is the nude VIP. It goes for $800 an hour and I believe you keep $600 of it.

    Security seemed to be on point. There were 32 girls on the roster last night, most were 7s-9s but there were a few 4s and 5s mixed in. Everything from curvy to skinny but almost all were fit with flat tummies. I spoke to a few of the girls I know really well, they said they were making decent money but nothing extraordinary; the first VIP room wasn't sold until 10:30pm last night. However- the first part of the night was invitation only (until around midnight). The managers were given a certain amount of invites to hand out to the customers of their choosing, so there were definitely some guys who were there to check it out instead of spending. If I had to estimate I would say when I arrived there were around 75 - 100 customers, and the number hadn't really changed when I left.

    Management wise, one of the managers is someone I personally don't like at all, but the other is a very cool guy who came up from a Portland club. The gentleman who is the managers' superior is a great guy who runs a VERY tight ship, so I don't think he's going to tolerate any nonsense.

    Overall, I think it will take a little bit for the clientele to get established. A lot of guys will go out of sheer curiousity due to the Rick's name, but I think in the next couple of weeks it will figure itself out. Worth going to check out for sure, good for a solid $400 - $600 a night for now based on what the girls I know told me. House fee is the standard $130, but as usual you can reduce your house fee by selling ladies drinks ($10 for a small, $20 for a large, they take $5 and $10 off your house respectively).

    Any other questions, feel free to ask!

    How are they able to have a nude vip? I heard there is going to be a Dreamgirls at Fox's too, have you heard anything about this?

    The nude VIP works because the dancing is done on a stage over 18in off the ground, and the chairs are positioned 6 feet away, just like on the main stages. It's essentially a room with a mini stage and pole. Cool concept and I'm glad they put it in there.

    Yes, there will be DreamGirls at Fox's as well, but I'm not sure when the opening date is. I'll keep everyone posted.

    I snatched some of their pics off their Facebook for y'all to look at. The mini stage is the nude VIP. I don't work here, so don't get the impression that I'm promo for them or anything. I just thought it was pertinent information and that pictures would be interesting.

    Is this club still in the City of Seattle or does it fall in the Lake city jurisdiction?

    I really like that they added a 3 for $100 option and $600 for an hour rather than the typical $400 that most Seattle DJV offers.

    I'm also curious on who's managing. Hit me a PM if you know~

    Do you need a permit to dance there?

    And btw, I really like the looks of this club and I like that there are different options...I especially like the nude VIP. It seems like it would be really easy to upsell the nude room without subjecting yourself to the typical physical assault that usually accompanies them. Yay!
    All funny money exchange at the clubs here is 10% to the customer and nothing to the dancer.

    Yup, you need a permit for all the clubs in Seattle area.

    Beautiful club though!
    I totally agree with you on this. The one manager I highly dislike (I think it's the same guy you're thinking of), but the dude from Portland seemed very nice to me.

    If you are licensed in Seattle already is the Lake City license something additional you have to get?

    I wonder if during the renovation they managed to exorcise all the bad juju and scrub away all the decades-old cum stains...ahh, Rick's, I don't miss you.

    ^^ Yeah, it's an additional license.

    Your other comments made me LOL. I hope it stays cleaned up, but the manager I dislike is known for being pretty "tolerant". In spite of that, I suspect that they'll be under the microscope for a couple months so I'd take advantage of that.

    More VIP pictures to entertain you guys. And the bus, that shuttles between all the clubs... and that I have had to ride too many goddamn times. There's a pole in it.
