Hey Gynger, I'm in Oregon. You will find our state a little different than yours, I think. I will PM you with details.
In Portland there are some great clubs and some not so great clubs. check http://www.xmag.com for info on the Portland strip club scene.
My favorites are Star's Cabaret (also one in Bend which is a lot closer to you than Portland) and Dolphin 1. I have heard that Safari club can be good. Other favorites of dancers around Oregon are Sassy's, Club 205, Exotica (hip hop style), and Cocktails and Dreams. I know girls that like to jump around from club to club In Portland, and it is very easy to get hired at most places.
Oregon is all nude with full Liquor at most strip clubs. If there is no liquor served that means the club is either a jack shack or lingerie modeling studio. There are one or two 18+ clubs that run just like a bar. Jiggles in Tualitin, and maybe one other in Portland.
There is no VIP type shows here (except maybe Cleoptrata's Viewpoint, but this club has been cronically slow for a couple of years now). The dances are anywhere from $10-30 per song depending on the club and the time of day, etc. The dances are usually performed in a separate section of the bar.
Girls in Oregon do a lot of stage time, and the customers are pretty good about tipping stage side. We have pretty low fees and tip outs as there isn't a ton of money here, and the bars make pretty good profit from liquor sales. Since you work at SR you should have your hustle down, and many Oregon dancers aren't good hustlers because of the easy stage money. Most dancers here seem satisfied with $100-200 a shift. It is possible to earn a lot more in the right bar.
Oh, you asked about state laws
Full nude, full spread on stage and private dances. No contact with customers whatsoever. We aren't even allowed to sit on the customer's lap fully clothed. It is illegal for dancers to touch their gentials, breasts, nipples, or buttocks at any time. Contact with customers during dances is restricted to head and neck, and below the knees. The girls can put thier hands on the customers shoulders during dances.
There are no licenses required, just bring current ID and your SS card and you should be ready to go. Most clubs will audition at any time, but a few of the busier ones would not allow you to audition on Friday or Saturday nights. There are a few clubs around town that use scheduling agencies. This might be a good way for you to go to check out several different clubs while you are here.
There are several extended stay type of motels, and rates in Portland are very reasonable. Most Motel 6 or Super 8 type of lodgeing runs about $45 a night.
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
I would NOT suggest driving a days time to portland to work...the money, especially at this time of year, is horrible...most of the clubs where you can make a decent pay at require you to put in a significant amount of time on the day/mid shifts before moving up in the ranks...basically because so few girls work a shift...sometimes 2 at most 8....
Club 205 is good...i worked there for a stint...but you have to go through a agency and they are difficult to deal with and have high expectations of the girls that work at 205....so again nights wont come easily there or Sassys....
I dont know about Dolphin or Stars...all I know is girls tend to move around alot due to the shitty money everywhere...
I have taken to traveling out of state...so good luck!

I'm in Washington and I often drive to Stars Cabaret in Beaverton, just outside Portland. The money is ok, but I'm not sure it's worth a full days drive.
