    Default Gold Coast - INDY

    Due to something whacking at my end, I am unable to answer PMs sent to me. Therefore if you do not include your email address - I generally will be "silent" due to not being able to reply :o

    None-the-less, this post is in response to a PM I received. Hopefully the person will recognise it.

    .....where you think the best place to work would be? Also do you do privet functions, ie topless waitressing during the day as Im told that is the go to.


    If you can "put up" with having the week before and the week of Indy sheduled for you (where you have no say what nights you work and when)... then Players Showgirls is damn good. Very popular club.

    Be very prepared to have 45% taken off each dance you do here. That's the only drawback. Money to be made definately tho'.

    If you would rather have more of a say when you worked over Indy try any of the other clubs (in order of worst to best imo): Bad Girls, Crazy Horse, Hollywood Showgirls.

    All the clubs will hire you. I'm unsure if they will waive the "must have ABN" part since they all take on MANY times more dancers than usual. I would highly suggest that you come to the Gold Coast a week before Indy so you can "check out" each of the clubs.

    Oh yeah.. even Hooters "down the road" will do well even tho' it is the smallest club. Being a small club will be a disadvantage therefore I don't recommend it. Amongst many of its other disadvantages.

    If you want to work at Hollywood Showgirls ( http://www.hollywoodshowgirls.com.au ) - tell them Vanessa sent you.

    Be very aware that no matter which club you choose.. it will be chaotic. Each club will be packed "wall to wall" with Bad Girls being the slowest (yet extremely busy still).

    Oh yeah.. also be prepared to pay HIGH tip outs to the clubs (house fees) esp. the actual Indy nights of Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun. Hooters and Players will be the only clubs here that will keep taking a percentage (no house fee).


    Well.. I've been informed by many dancers (and seen it happen each Indy I've worked... with this year being my fourth Indy) that it is indeed very lucrative if you can find some lingere/topless/nude waitressing work around the place (or even better yet... shows). The only problem is that you are still obligated to the clubs.... can you see yourself working day and night ???

    It can become very exhausting doing those daytime bookings (for the pure fact that you loose less sleep/rest time mainly) then working at the clubs. Every club will have extended opening hours - most will open as early as 5pm in the afternoon to around 7am in the morning.

    The clubs can be very lucrative in and of themselves therefore I have not really done any outside of the club bookings (even tho' I had the potential each Indy to do so).

    This year.. I was thinking about it.. and have decided that I will accept a very limited number of bookings as I still want my main energy/focus to be making money at the club. Next year I might branch out outside the club more... yet this year.. I'll keep to the club mainly.

    My main concern is that I do not become exhausted. I need decent enough rest these days so I can do 10 hrs or more at the club.


    My only about Indy is that it is turning more and more into a V8 Supercars event... this means that there is less International money being brought "into town". Be prepared to deal with alot of Aussie blokes. Also.. do not come thinking you will crack $1000. Tho' it does happen and is very much possible within any of the clubs... it usually requires you to be booked for most (if not all) of a shift to be able to crack that "golden" target. Be prepared to make anywhere from a meager $200 to $800. The amount you earn all depends on the club you choose and how well you work the club.

    It is just like the F1 in Melbourne.. those girls who have regulars (who book them each year.. or just book them) will do well. Or those girls who have managed to cultivate a decent 'following' so that you are guaranteed to be booked out most of each shift you work will do well.

    Do not expect much the week before or even a couple of days prior to Indy... use this time as a time to check the clubs out and then work in the ones you chose.. and see which one suits you best.

    I say come work Indy @ Hollywood just so you can check the club out I love it there.

    Yes.. Lynette is indeed great to have as a dancer manager (we have her as our dancer manager and someone else as the co-ordinator).

    I've updated my 'review' of Hollywood Showgirls on the 'findastripclub.com' website (under Clubs and Reviews).

    Whilst things have started to 'settle' (rules not changing every few days)... the tip-out fee is still being 'worked on'... so it might change.

    well finally i can reply havent been able to reply until now as when i first joined the site my password and usernames would never work.

    Anyway The whole indy week is overated.I worked at CRAZY HORSE for the last 8 indys and last yr on the sat night we had 52 girls working there.But then again we were packed to the rafters from 6pm till closing time at 7am.Our door charge fior the girls to work was only $100 for the regulars who have been workign there for awhile and it was either $150 or $200 A NIGHT for out of towners.

    As for the new hollywood it hasnt done an indy yet and even thou it will be packed and very busy we the security at these clubs can only let in so many as aussievee will know the LIQ LIC nazis are going to be crackign down this yr on over crowding.

    A few other points on the club side of things on the coast.I know players and bad girls take % we(crazy horse only charge the girls a fee of $50 a night minimum 4 nights a week but what does the new hollywood charge(door fee for the girls or %?????) I went up to hollywood the other night as a few of my old security work there.and ive got to say apart from the ring ins u get for the weekends the girls are pretty average(from what i saw).I know we lost a few from CH as they couldnt cut it with some of our girls and we also lost one of the best ones too.But the way sante fe used to be i think hollywood has a lot of the rejects(no offence to any of the girls who work there) from the other clubs.

    aussievee u got msn???if so add me to ur msn list.

    [email protected]

    cheers shane

    ps back on topic if ur going to come and work on the coast for indy.expect to be groped by the drunken idiots as u walk thru the crowd.Because of the clubs being so packed its hard to stop some of the wankers from doing it but those who are pointed out to us are thrown str8.

    As for Indy at Hollywood.... well... they still havn't said what they are going to charge as it is fee based currently (updated info. in my 'Around Australia' thread). It is a very classy looking club... and shane is right on the money about LIC LIC being nazis during this period.

    As for Lynette... well... my opinions about her have changed a little... she isn't the most organised person in the world and does seem a little dizzy to me (always seems to be rushing around doing a million things at once whilst not really getting anything done).

    As for the dancers... there are a couple of real hotties (well, I regard as hotties) and the rest of us are a mix of local girls from Bad Girls, Players and Crazy Horse. Then there is the interstate dancers who are "staying at the house" (which Lynette lives in it seems).

    Every club is packed to the rafters... I worked Indy at Players last year.. it was really hard to move from one end of the club to the other... so if you have any phobias about being in closed in spaces or being "packed in".. Indy isn't for you.

    As for how Hollywood will handle Indy... hmm.. that is going to be interesting esp. with the private (lap) dance area. It isn't that big a room. Granted, regardless of how many dancers end up working... there is still good money to be made. After the VIP Opening Night at Hollywood... I got a glimpse then of what it would be like for Indy... it will be able to handle a crowd easily enough... just worried about the private (lap) dance area and the toilets.

    Plus the bar... plus for us to be able to manevour (sp?) around the club... BYO your own drink in my opinion.

    INDY @ HOLLYWOOD SHOWGIRLS

    This club is NOT for everyone. I want to make sure that we are clear on that point. Hopefully the club has learnt from this Indy how to handle next Indy... and therefore Indy in 2005 will be quite profitable (hopefully) for the dancers.

    The problem with Hollywood this Indy is that they increased their dance prices (to an insane amount in my personal view) on the Thursday.... this scared away alot of people to the other clubs.... they decreased the prices on Friday yet there was still some chaos in re: the prices due to different dancers selling different prices (the club didn't care as long as we didn't under-cut).

    Not to mention that they had increased their already not-so-inexpensive drink prices by $1 across the board. Not too many punters were happy with those prices. Goodness! The normal prices are expensive enough and they would've made more profit (just my personal opinion) if they had stuck to the normal prices. The increased drink prices meant that punters were drinking less... not more... which means they weren't intoxicated enough to have some "one on one fun" with any of the dancers. Not to mention that money for drinks takes priority with Indy punters over money for dances.

    None-the-less, Saturday worked out to be the best night by far for me personally (just see my Hustle Hut entry as well as my Indy thread over in my Yahoo group).... and worked out to be the best night for most of the other dancers as well.

    Then Sunday rolled around. Due to how "big" Saturday was for me... on top of doing a "topless waitressing" (read: balcony girl) gig for 3 hours on Sunday day.... I wasn't totally "with it" to do Sunday night. I was a little run-down by that time as I had already "pulled" 18 hrs over 2 nights (8 hrs Friday, 10 hrs Saturday)... with Saturday night being my hardest working night. I was "lucky"... I happened upon a big spender and made all my money that night from him.

    Unfortuantely for me... the Sunday night "money plague" had hit town. Every Sunday.. for an hour or three... all the ATMs and EFTPOS machines go down... none of them will work.. no one can withdraw money. Due to this money plague, it halted my guy's spending... otherwise... I had a very real possibility of having another $1000 night.

    Due to my exhaution... after that guy... I didn't have the energy to have another $1000 night. I probably could've made, at least, another $200-300 more... which would've brought me under $1000 (around the $700-900 mark)... yet... I was just too tired by midnight (I had started at 8pm after finishing my 3 hr "topless waitressing" gig at 5pm).

    All in all... I think next year's Indy will be a good year for Hollywood.

    ONCE AGAIN

    I REPEAT

    This club is not for everyone. It might look to be the most appealing (the biggest, classiest, elegant club on the Gold Coast) however due to how it is run as well as the layout... amongst other "issues"... it is not suitable to every dancer.


    Basically... you will make money at any of the strip clubs over Indy... just come in up to a week prior to the official days of Indy so you can "test" each club out for yourself and find the one you feel most comfortable within.

    If you are a fly in/fly out dancer for Indy (not a regular house dancer) in any of the "fee based" clubs (this excludes Players as it will keep its 45% and half of all tips policy)... be prepared to pay the most.

    I must say, Players is probably the best for get them in, dance them, get them out. I will give Hollywood around 6 months or so, before it either ceases to be a strip club and reverts back to just being a club, or it will end up like Sante Fe was, the last resort for strippers who just hang in for the money.

    Crazy Horse was one of my favourites, not sure why I stopped going (I guess it's the you must pay $10 even though you go several times a week for years) They really must look at local memberships for regulars (and I don't mean the locals that just go once a fortnight or a month either, it has to be worth it for the club) The bar staff alone are worth going for, they have the best customer relationship out of most of the clubs. and for a local, that means heaps.

    Hollywood, whilst ok now, still has that, It's just a revamped Sante Fe, feel for me. I wish the club well, but can see it going one way or the other within time.

    You don't actually know me big shane, not that well anyway. I know of you through a friend (an ex racer). Not exactly 7 nights a week, but a few times a week (average between 2-4)

    I very rarely talk to you, or many people for that matter, as I am slightly too old for the (know the front door guy so let me in free routine ) I just wander in and enjoy the night. You are normally busy at the door of the BB to notice me go into the club.

    Will say hello to you next time I'm in, and let you know who I am.

    I just wanted to "pop in" with my little bit in re: Hollywood. It was a good idea however I would personally have to agree: it will go one of two ways eventually....... be more of a night club with strippers (as it currently seems to be going) or as has been said (ho hum) a more elegant form of Santa Fe Gold....

    Hmm..... depending on how things pan out with Hollywood will depend on whether I (argh!) might have to check out Crazy Horse for possible employment..... or even more scarier: go back to Players. Both options are not exactly thrilling for me so I'm willing to give Hollywood a go.

    I might end up sticking with Hollywood and doing more travelling... like every second month go away for 2-3 weeks. I will also do my darnest to not work Friday and/or Saturday nights at Hollywood due to how it does turn into a nightclub in a way.

    Mermaidnz . . . Hollywood does not promote itsef as a dance club. It promotes itself as a "Club". A lot of people are shocled when they walk in and realise that it's actually full of dancers. They desperately need something to fall back on, because I don't think the dance part will last that long, the novelty will wear off very quickly. Crazy Horse and Players are well established now as the top 2 clubs, and will remain that way for a fair while.

    I am not sure the layout is working to the girls best advantage. Once they get off stage, then come out the side door, they really have nowhere to go. All the ferals are sitting around the stage, and it isn't very girl friendly in regards to walking space. The only work they get is from men who single them out, and make an effort to come up to them.

    There should be less stage vieweing area, and more room for the girls to wander around in.

    That's probably your best choice I think if you are not fond of Crazy Horse. Not much point going to the others as the clients are just not there to support the girls.

    While CH and Players have a few girls on at one time, there is normally a good amount of men (and women) to support them.

    Doesn't make me look forward to going back to work (Hollywood).

    I might have to look into working at... gasp... Crazy Horse ! Players just won't afford me the luxury of having time off so I can travel every so often to strip for up to 3 weeks. We'll just have to see how Hollywood works out for the time being.

    INDY IS UPON US NEXT WEEK - I will be working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday prior to Indy as I'm making myself available for all the last minute "on track" etc work for Indy during the day.

    I'm done with working the clubs during that time of year here. Cheerleaders is suspposedly having something like 80 girls working every night. Oh dear. I also heard that Hollywood the fee is something ridiculous like $300 each night ??

    Will know more after the meeting tomorrow (and update this thread for those interested in re Hollywood and Cheerleaders at least).

    I have no idea about Players nor do I care as that club is going to the shitter. The change in management with the appointment of a former dancer starting with A has caused alot of crap. She doesn't have the respect of the dancers and even some of the customers that are coming into Cheers (my nickname for my club) are feeling the effects.

    Why would girls who were very loyal to Players (worked there consistently for 2+ years) and were making that club a huge amount of money (and also themselves heaps of money) leave for another club if everything was going so well... hmm...?? Yup, because of this particular "manager". I don't care as I'm done for that club now and forever. I tried it for a good six months (or there-abouts) and nothing had changed.

    As much as I bitch, whinge, rant, etc about Cheers. I still much rather work there than Players ANY DAY! I wish Crazy Horse was a viable option tho'.

    It will be during Indy most definately. Yet other times of year... it's questionable.
