    Default Dancing on the West Coast

    My friend and I currently dance in the Bay area of CA and we are looking for somewhere to dance to make a little bit more $$$. Any suggestions?

    We were going to go to Vegas in July, but from all the posts I read, I am at the conclusion that maybe that is not such a good idea....

    Contrary to what you are hearing, Vegas dancers are doing very well right now. Keep in mind that 80% of dancers in just about any club in the country will say that business is terrible where they are, that there isn't any money, that the guys are young and don't want to spend. And yet in spite of all that, there are still tons and tons of dancers doing exceedingly well. It never ceases to amaze me how I hear dancer after dancer in some clubs tell me that "there isn't any money in here" while the owner or GM of the same club will tell me that they have more money in the club than they know what to do with and because they can't quality dancers who aren't willing to take it, the guys aren't spending money that much and the girls aren't willing to take it.

    I'm going off of memory here, but I think that it was Joe Girard in his book How To Close Every Sale that said "The difference between a conversationalist and a sales person is the ability to close a sale." The challenge is, 95% of dancers are conversationalists. I was just on the phone with someone the other night who signed up for our next Teleconference class and I was telling her a story about how I, personally, sold a $100 trip to the VIP room for a dancer to prove a point. One of the clubs here in Vegas hired me to come in and work with their dancers while they were on shift in small clusters. One of the dancers in that group told me that "The reason we can't make any money is because the guys in here don't want to spend." Knowing that was a bunch of nonsense, I told her to wait there. I walked over to a dancer sitting at the bar alone and I asked her if she would like to make an easy $100 and help me prove a point. Of course she said yes! I took her by the hand and we both went over to this guy sitting at a table alone. I did all the talking and five minutes later, she was walking him to the VIP room. I went back to the group and looked her right in the eye and said, "No money in the room eh? The guys don't want to spend eh?" She got the point. The DJ who was working there that night watched the whole thing and was laughing so hard he missed his cue to the next dancer to come up on stage.

    My point being, is that in sales of any kind, you have to be comfortable in closing the sale and taking the money. That's the biggest fear for new or light-weight sales people is asking for the money, or at least doing it right. When you have a room full of customers who are doing everything short of begging for dances and a bunch of dancers sitting at the bar having a drink complaining that they can't make any money, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. If you want to watch an amazing movie to demonstrate this point, go rent Glengarry Glen Ross sometime. It's one of the most brilliant movies ever made about sales people. Once you see it, you'll understand what I'm saying.

    Since I have my sherriff's card already,how to I go about getting my business license?
    Good question. First you need to find out if you need State & City or not. There are only a few clubs that you will need to have the City license for and your club can give you that information. I've posted the addresses and directions on where to get the licenses on here before, and I don't have the document with me or I'd post it again. I'll put it up here again tonight for you though.

    What do you consider a quality Vegas upscale dancer?I haven't been back there since during the winter time so could you clarify the current status of the clubs there?Thanks!
    I'm not exactly sure I understand what you are asking so I'll do my best to answer. Dancers in Vegas are just like dancers in New York, Portland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philly, etc. etc. etc. If you have danced in other cities, you'll be fine here. There are a few clubs that do look for more of the Playboy cover type, and those are the minority. Ultimately, the question really comes down to what are you like? Describe the type of club you enjoy working in and I can refer you to the club that will best suit your needs.

    The status of the clubs fluctuate from time to time. For example, I was just talking with the GM of one club who told me that their weekend business has died down a lot lately but their business during the middle of the week has gone insane. Just the trend for these last few weeks. Also keep in mind that many people are complaining right now that business is slow in their club. This is due to a few different factors. The first of which is that it's the summer season and the clubs slow down a bit. They also are slowing down in New York, Portland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philly, etc. etc. etc. See my point? Summer months across the country are usually when the clubs slow down a bit. This isn't always true, but generally speaking, it's the case nationwide. The second reason the clubs are a little slower is due to to some oversaturation. This is going to be remedied over the next few months though as a few of the clubs will be closing their doors and as of two weeks ago, I know that at least eight clubs are up for sale right now. Some are for sale due to oversaturation, some for poor location, and some are because quite frankly, the owners and managers don't have a clue what they are doing.

    What I mean by "quality" dancer is someone who isn't a "wannadance?" girl. The clubs are filled with those right now in a very bad way.

    As for the status of the clubs fluctuate from time to time.

    My point about Vegas clubs is that where I was working the customer count had dropped. And other clubs I saw had too.

    Glitter Gulch had business over the holiday weekend and the dancers selling skills sucked, but they are not busy on a daily basis. I would consider that club in November, and Jan-Mid-March. Business dropped way down clientele wise at the end of March in most Vegas clubs.

    There are waaay less customers now from my experience where I worked in Vegas. This is not opinion but fact. Anyone can go in a club and do a head count, and a dancer count,right?

    The clientele is wetbacks and young fucking 24 year old guys in groups and pimps. How many dances can you sell them? Answer that one ???

    You need QUALITY customers to make decent money, not young party type guys just hanging out, right??????

    As far as DW's example above of guys sitting alone, those guys are far and few between. I sell those kind all the time. They are rare on nights and the girls where I worked would have swooped down on him within 5 minutes of walking in the door. See what I mean? You don't have a club full of older guys sitting alone, and in Vegas unlike other cities, girls work the floor harder. In Houston I find guys like that that no one will talk to all the time.

    In Vegas the older guys who come in alone come out in the mornings and early afternoons. That is a FACT in the bigger clubs. I usually can sell them.

    Twice or three times as many girls as customers. Guys telling girls to go away and what part of no don't you understand? I have never seen so many rude customers as in Vegas and I have danced in 20 states. Lot's of guys are tired of the extreme hustle.

    One of my customers goes to the bathroom and a girl asks him if he wants two dancers while he is coming back to the table. Why? because there is not enough business and the right kind of business. This guy was in his 50's.

    I call things as I see them. The clubs need to get a better clientele and MORE of them. Something has happened there to scare off the older well dressed type guys, hasn't it?

    Granted many dancers are not good at selling, but whether the dancers are wanna dance types or not does not matter. These girls still aggressively approach guys harder than in most cities and if 30 girls have approached a guy and a girl with dancer training comes behind them she won't get the time of day, right? you can't get to every customer first, can you?

    I have used the techniques taught in the class and played hostess in a ploy to get the guys coming in and sold several guys that way by being near the entrance, but as soon as other girls see what I do they are right there with me and then the desparate approach they use scares off the next guys.

    And if you have 25 customers and 65 dancers there are not enough guys to talk to and approach, also keeping in mind out of the 30 customers 25 of them are young punks just hanging out. Where does the VIP money let alone selling a dance or 2 come from these guys????

    A club being slow has nothing to do with a girls selling skills or lack of them. You need customers to sell to right?

    It takes a PROPER dancer to customer ratio AND the proper clientele to really make the better money, doesn't it?

    As I said before, I believe the Dancer Wealth classes are very good, but there are cities with less pressure where a dancer can use what she is taught and do better with what she has learned.

    For example, in Texas the clubs are more upscale in format and allow for more personal interaction before selling dances. Even though there are lots of dancers it is not as bad as Vegas in most clubs and the better clubs there get more 35+ aged guys who are more apt to show their money with designer clothing on, offer you a drink and allow you the chance to make a bigger sale because you will have TIME sitting with him a while to develop a lump sum sale.

    In Phoenix, the guys are more friendly than in Vegas. More approachable.

    Washington and Oregon are lousy places to dance. Air dances in Oregon and all juice bars in Washington. Alaska is ok. California doesn't really have as many clubs per capita as it should and lots of the clubs make you work schedules and physically audition to get hired.

    Albuquerque is kind of like Phoenix and is workable although business is a little slower nowadays.

    Montana is decent. The clubs work on advance bookings for the most part but a limited amount of girls and club pay makes it more profitable than many other Western cities.

    Again this is not a blast at Dancer Wealth because I have taken his classes and done well with customers using what he taught.

    I am a dancer that requires a 5 day a week STEADY income from dancing and Vegas does not provide that.

    I would be willing to bet money on the fact that most of you guys who go there and work now will be dissapointed.

    If you take his classes and use what he taught in your home clubs you will see more results.

    I am not discouraging you guys from coming to Vegas, just not to have unreasonable expectations and to be prepared for heavy competition and not much of a "gentlemen" type clientele.

    The Bay Area has many affluent residents but the club scene is weak. I understand why you want to try somewhere else.

    I've heard from many club owners and managers from some clubs that ethnic women are in high demand right now, especially asian women. I love sending dancers to Pleasures because they are doing a great job of getting in good clientelle and are working hard at getting better "talent" in the club. They've also been getting a lot of spenders in on the weekday nights lately. It's a nice upscale place and medium sized (about 25 dancers). If you are looking at something a bit more busy, Glitter Gulch on the weekends is good, and Sapphires is great on the weekends. Crazy Horse II is hit or miss, and yet when the place is jumping, a lot of money can be made. For a while, I'd avoid Treasures like the plague. Many reasons why, but the most important is that the place is dying a slow death right now along with many other clubs. PM me when you get a chance and let me know what your likes and dislikes are in a club and I'll give you a more detailed breakdown that could help you better.

    Lastly, I promised I'd post info on the business licenses. Effective July 1st, they will be mandatory, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few raids happened around town looking for them. Here's the scoop:

    Depending on which club you are at, you will at the very least need a State business license and possibly a city of Las Vegas license depending on where you are dancing. Plan on spending an afternoon to get both of them. Before you go, you will have to bring with you your Sheriffs Card and a State Taxation Letter. The State Taxation Letter will be provided for you by your club. Most of the clubs are very knowledgable about this now but if your club management is clueless about this, call the Nevada State Taxation Department for further details (number below). When you ask your club for it though, just tell them you need it to get your business license and they should be able to get this for you easily, especially if they?ve already done it for other dancers which by now they have already been doing. Once you have the State Taxation Letter and your Sheriffs Card, go to the address below to get your Nevada Business License:

    Nevada State Taxation Department
    555 E. Washington Ave.
    702-486-2300

    The fee for the state license will be $100 per year.

    If you need to have a city license also, you will need to make another stop. Once you have the Sheriffs card and State Business License, you will them along with your State Taxation Letter and go to the City of Las Vegas at the address below:

    Las Vegas Business Licensing
    400 E. Stewart Ave., 3rd Floor
    702-229-6281

    The fee is $55 (for setup and initial fee), then $25 every 6 months if earnings are over $12,500 for the previous 6 months. They will explain to you the details of the renewal when you go down there, so be sure to ask about it. Again though, you will need to ask your club if this is necessary as there are only a few clubs to which this applies.

    I'm not sure which "they" you are in reference to. If you mean the State/City who are requiring licences, it's really just a matter of another tax that someone dreamed up. My suspicion is that it came from our idiot Governor on down. They probably were having a brainstorming session of what new taxes they could dream up and this was the first one that came to mind. Go figure.

    I have to agree with Tina on Vegas. I was there in early may, but I did okay because I serve a niche market-Women and couples.

    I also found that a girl can get a lot more action by "priming the Pump" so to speak, in Vegas. What I mean by that is when I travel I have no established clientele. I ask the floormen or the DJ to refer me to customers who are looking to spend, and I pay them well for the work they do for me. In Vegas, before I even start working the floor, I make my presence known to all the floormen and inform them that I pay them half of my take for every VIP they bring my way. So If it is $500 an hour with my take being $400 for and hour in VIP $200 of that is commission to the floorman who hooked me up. I stay busy all night long, the floor man is always looking for me first when a customer wants some company, and I don't waste time trying to hustle or sell, I am making $200 an hour, and everyone is happy.

    Joe Giarad calls this "bird dogging" in his sales book. Not all floormen are interested in doing this, and this doesn't work in every club, but more often than not it does work in Vegas.

    The first part of my comment about dancing for women and couples is- this is largely an untapped market. I am working on perfecting my flirting techniques with women, and they do buy dances. Couples will buy VIP shows. I have had couples in VIP in Vegas where I get the wife to give her hubby and I dances, and "teach" her how to give laps at home. Many dancers find female customers intimidating, so therefore the ladies get ignored in the clubs. Ladies are usually an easy sell for $20 dance, VIP takes a lot more work on the ladies, but it isn't impossible. Maybe try a line on the ladies to get them into VIP like: "that's where the rich and famous customers like to go." Most women have a fantasy of being and exotic dancer and/or hooker. That is probably as common as the men's two women fantasy. Play on that and you will have a hooked customer.

    One cavaet with female customers is that the younger the woman, the more likely you are to catch attitude from her. But don't let it get to you, she is in your house, so you make the rules, not her!

    So here I am agreeing with both Tina and DancerWealth on this topic. I guess it is up to you as to what you like and how much you are willing work to make the money.



    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I hear from dancers all the time that they are uncomfortable approaching couples. Not because they fear a bi-sexual type of environment, but because they just don't know what to do. Couples are a great source for dances primarily because, by nature, women in this environment are great tippers. Typically, they are there for him to buy a few dances for his wife and the fantasy that all ties together. The best way for a dancer to approach the couple, or even the woman of the couple is different than she should approach the man in the couple. As a dancer, you have a different rapport process with a woman than a male customer. When you sit down, you should be friendly with him, but also do your best to make her feel comfortable. Most likely, she'll be in a very unknown environment, so with her, being as friendly as possible to her to make her comfortable is the best thing. Once the two of them are comfortable with you, then you want to sell HIM on the dance for HER. That's the easy sell. Then, after your first dance, you want to repeat sell on her. Couples aren't likely to make huge money for you, but they are virtually a given for at least 3 or 4 dances. Hit a few couples a night and the dollars start adding up and it's easy money.

    I also took the class that DW offers back in January. I did learn some valuable information that has helped me to earn more $$. It is possible to make good money out here, but not always probable. It really is an extremely different market. A lot of the clubs out here will allow pimps to hang out in the clubs. In most Vegas clubs, from 6:30am - 7pm it is nearly impossible to make any money no matter how good you are. The clubs will allow pimps and guys who have no intention of buying any dances just "hang out". They will also allow girls to just hang out and "cock block" any potential customers who don't have the guts to tell those dumb chicks to get lost. It is very easy to be taken advantage of out here. I will not talk to a guy for more than one song without selling a dance. I see a lot of girls out here go home with no profit or at a loss. It is really common.
    Dancer Wealth - does Pleasures have a web site?
    My problem lately with the Vegas clubs is the "manager so&so hired you therefore manager so&so owns you" syndrome. It is really a huge problem. I need to find a good club that will allow me to work any day of the week that I choose to. I also need to find a club with management who is upfront about recommendations for being able to continue to be able to work the shifts that are best suited for me.
    I personally don't have the patience to deal with guys over the age of 40. In my experience they are total tightwads looking for a hooker or they will just try to take advantage of dancers by trying to convince them to "hang out" without any compensation. My specialty is the yuppie guys who are in the 20's and 30's.
    I need help!!!

    I worked at Pleasures last night.
    The DJ is one of the best DJs I have ever worked with. And that vip room is so beautiful.
    It is so refreshing to work for a female manager. What a difference. No pimp attitude.
    Thanks again for the recommendation! It is definately a well managed club.

    I am, and it was just brought to my attention recently. They aren't the only club up on the auction block right now either. When last I looked, there were eight (I guess now nine) clubs up for sale in Vegas. It's unfortunate because it is such a fantastic club with just a not-so-fantastic location.

    The club is medium sized...about 25-30 dancers on a weekend night. It is somewhat unique in the sense that it is a higher class club for it's small size. All top shelf liquors, cigars, etc. It's kind of like a small version of Club Paradise. They are wanting to do more feature acts (in fact, I'm training one of their dancers next week to do a fire eating routine) and their VIP room is stunning. Security is very good and they have a zero tolerence policy on "extra" work and they make the girls very clear on that. As for house fees, when last I spoke with their management, they were waiving house fees for the first month or two, and after that they are very minimal.

    If you need some more information about working there, PM me. I'd like to refer you to someone specific down there so that you can best be taken care of and I don't want to post her cell number in a public forum. Aside for the fact that they are up for sale, it really is a great club and I have no hesitation in sending dancers there because I know how great of a club it really is. The best part is that due to its size, it is often the dancers are outnumbered by customers 2 or sometimes 3 to 1.

    I know a few of the smaller ones are and I believe Treasures is coming up on the auction block soon. That club is destined for failure this year anyway.

    I did manage to get an update on the Pleasues club auction. According to my source there, which is a very reliable one, the club is, in fact, not up for sale or auction. They were pondering it at one point and it wound up being a misprint in the local newspaper that snowballed. I believe a retraction to this is in the works for printing soon. The club was going through some financial challenges a while ago and now it looks like they are doing much better and expect to have quite a good summer. They've been bringing in some great staff and it's getting better and better every time I'm in there. Heck, one of my friends is getting married tomorrow and I brought his bachelor party into the club. I haven't seen a bachelor party been taken such great care of by the staff and dancers in a club ever. Aside from our relationship with them, I truly believe they are a real diamond in the rough of clubs in Vegas.

    It's a shame for Treasures.It's such a posh looking club.I read somewhere the two brothers that own Treasures(Vegas&Houston) and several other clubs are being investigated for money laundering.To be honest with you,I don't care for the location of Treasures or Jaguar's for that matter.DW,honestly,how much could an Asian girl expect to make per night at Pleasures?Tell your friend "Congratulations" for me.

    There is a lot of question as to where the owners of Treasures got their money. Most speculations are that their money was obtained through less-than-legal means. The club is in for a world of hurt this summer too from the Metro police as well. By the time the summer ends, I wouldn't be shocked if the club was raided a dozen times at least.

    As for asian girls in Pleasures, that depends. It's like any other club...your income depends on your ability. I can tell you though that there are very few minority dancers in there, perhaps only one of them being asian. That isn't by choice of the club though. One of the things they really want more of is diversity in the dancers. I just think they haven't had a lot of minority dancers come into the club so far. In there though, I'm sure you would have a big edge actually.
