    Default Review of Gold Club in New Orleans

    The SC review site is down so I will post this here:
    Dancer Review of Gold Club:

    Off of Bourbon Street, not nearly as classy nor crowded as I've read from other Stripperweb posters. About 95% of customers are tourists, mixed ages. Money is good if you are hot, approach customers, and hustle like any other place. There was supposed to be multiple conventions this week, rich surgeons, but maybe they are cheap or calling escorts because they weren't there in droves and they certainly were not throwing money around......

    Hiring is easy, just dance for the manager on the side stage, strip when he tells you to. The girls range from 6-9. I didn't see any 10's or Playboy bunnies though.

    House fees are reasonable, I didn't pay more than $25 any of the nights, but I also got into the club early. Closes around 3-5am, once the customers are gone. The house mom has lots of responsbility there, she collect fees and tipout, $5 to her and $10 floor minimum on top of house fees. I always at least doubled that. Tipping the DJ is required, about $20. The DJ's are cool, the house mom is a hardass at first but I liked her by the end.

    Also, there is a complex deal with cashing money, like a 10% hit on the first $200 and 20% thereafter.

    They were lacking in girls every night except for Saturday and I had to go on the stages repeatedly, which I am not used to in Texas, so I was all bruised and falling down at the end of each night, but at least the guys tipped me onstage.

    Downstairs dances must be done on a podium but the girls are kind of halfway on it and halfway in the customer's lap. They are not supposed to touch the dancer. $20, dancer keeps all.

    There are 3 upstairs small couch rooms as well. $40 per song, dancer must give house $10 immediately afterwards. Contact here is as much as you are comfortable with I imagine since I didn't get to see any other dancers in these rooms. Onee local dancer pretty adamently told me not to allow customers to touch my "hoo-ha"........

    VIP is $250 for 30 mins, dancer keeps $200 and its just a room with couches in it. I am sure that extas could go on here like in any CR since the CR host does not come by until time is up......

    One major warning: THE MANAGER TIM IS A MAJOR ASSHAT! He is hands down the worst SC manager I've had to deal with in a dozen clubs I've worked. He is on the crack rock or something because he is just super mean. The rest of management and the floor guys are kittens. The other dancers are pleasant to work with as well. They did that annoying T-shirt promo too one night where I had to do a dance for $10, but you don't have to buy the shirt if you cannot sell a dance.....

    I may come back to this place but I liked Ricks on Bourbon much more. The contact levels were equivalent from my observation and the place was PACKED with suits on a Tuesday night, who were spending!

    Yeah,Tim was a former DJ at the club that eventually became one of the managers.He has serious ego issues,and that's putting it very politely.

    I keep hearing stories about New Orleans, specifically "well why I can't I do this? in New Orleans it is different" I heard more while I was in Baltimore but even now up in NY I'm still hearing that! What the heck? I'm hearing almost as much about it as I used to Canadian clubs! And was under the impression vice was a lot more strict in NO. Are my customers only frequenting lousy places, or is "everything but the kitty" standard?
    (might be in NO at some point next year, not sure)

    N.O. is a lot more strict than most other cities.It isn't "everything but the kitty" at all.It's nothing,no touching.

    and
    "Ricks on Bourbon much more. The contact levels were equivalent"

    Plus what I've heard from customers [some not even happy about it, one was spending money and was like "My manager paid for a two girl dance and I got a blowjob - I was like 'eww.'"] and with this customer I had the other night, Ricks was mentioned as a place that is "very liberal" with regards to touching.

    I am speaking from The Gold Club's experience.Rick's basically has whorehouse in their VIP rooms.

    Customers cannot touch on the main floor. Upstairs no one can see either way, and the floor guys don't peek into the rooms to check on the dances. Thus, touching happens, despite whatever the rules say. As a matter of fact, neither the housemom nor management told me anything about the upstairs rules except that prostitution is illegal, well obviously........

    Its not that strict unless you want it to be................

    I also did not see the VIP rooms at Rick's so I can't speak for that place, except that it was significantly busier than Gold Club on a Tuesday. Remember dancers, its your body and your limits, do whatever you feel comfortable with, but NO is FAR from an airdance town.........

    I was working in the Gold Club just a few days before Katrine was there and yes, it was more dead that I expected. I've done quite well there over the last 2 years and was surprised that on a Friday night the club felt like a slow Tuesday.

    I went to visit Rick's too and the dancers weren't all that there either; in fact I still think that overall they're better looking at the Gold Club.

    I've personally never had any problems with Tim, but his ego has inflated quite a bit since becoming manager. Hank is a great manager there. I can't say I've ever heard anyone say they've had a problem with him.

    Katrine, thank you so much for your review. I prefer to hear about clubs from a variety of perspectives. Just because a club works for one dancer, it may not work for another, even on the very same night.

    IMO, New Orleans clubs tend to be overrated. I've had grrrrreat nights, but I've had more mediocre nights than anything. But anyway. I can't stand closed VIP rooms; that only leads to trouble. I've worked at Temptations, and they have VIP's on the 2nd floor as well as in a back courtyard. There is no champagne host patrolling... Every now and again I'd wonder what would happen if some guy went beserk and I'd need help. With the music pumping downstairs it'd be hard to hear a scream. That made me nervous at times.
    Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.

    At The Gold Club,there is a VIP host that is up there.The rooms do not have doors on them,so it's not completely closed.I danced there for almost four years with no problems.As far as money goes,it's much better than most other regions in the states.

    Exactly OTB, I had no worries at all about my safety, and I only did 3 CR when I was there, but countless private upstairs dances, where the dancer and customer may be peeking in at any time looking for a booth. So safety wasn't the issue. None of my customers acted inappropriately....

    Well one drunk kid kept trying to push me down harded in his lap for more grindage, which isn't my thing. I just pinned his hands. Later he broke into the champagne case and tried to steal a $300 bottle! LOL, they made him pay for it and kicked him out!

    I would go back to the Gold Club, it was a very nice work environment. I just also noticed that Ricks had an equally upscale clientele and far more traffic because its on Bourbon...

    The dances in the far corner of the main floor had slightly more mileage because there weren't floor guys monitoring and they layout of the club makes it very hard for anyone to just get to that area....


    As I've said before, club layout and management monitoring is integral to the type of mileage that occurs in these clubs.....

    And finally, remember where I come from, I am not going to cry when a customer tries to touch my boobies, I have a million tricks up my sleeve to handle that. I go where the $$$$$ is........

    I am going back to NO in November! Are you going to be there then OTB?

    Question to the N.O. dancers!!!
    I am flying out next week to visit friends over Halloween weekend and thought it would be nice to recoup my plane fare.....how hard do you think it would be to jump in and work one shift over such a busy weekend??
    Considering a day shift...any idea how the days are?

    I got to work around 7:30 Sunday at the Gold Club. It had been open since 3pm and only one girl showed up early, but plenty of guys did. I was like the 3rd girl in there. She made all her money by 8pm, was happy, drunk, exhausted. You could TOTALLY get hired there to do a day shift, they need girls. Have fun!

    I always love when someone who's never worked a certain club claims it's a VIP whorehouse I always liked working Rick's since it opened; it was always the busiest in town, low on the bullshit meter and good money. I never did any extras there and made some of my best money there with some of the lowest contact. Remember girls, extras can be performed at ANY club if a girl is willing. Don't let the reputation keep you from checking a place out. See for yourself. I tried Gold Club and did not like it.

    I worked at Rick's when they first opened,8 years or so ago,and their VIP rooms were nothing to be desired then.Maybe they have changed now.

    Considering a day shift...any idea how the days are?

    I need to step in here, since I used to work with shesupsidedown in DC years ago, though I'm aware that I'm risking extreme flaming...

    I can tell you straight up that you have almost zero chance of being hired that weekend, for several reasons.

    First of all, Halloween is a busy weekend in NOLA, and this Halloween weekend will be even crazier due to a large bike convention in town.

    Also, most nicer places make you cover tattoos, but you have too many for even the more tattoo tolerant places to hire you.

    I don't want to sound harsh, but I've actually met you and know what you look like and it's frustrating to see posts from other dancers here that probably just assume that maybe you have the same large lower back tribal tattoo that 80% of McStrippers nowadays have.

    Yes, you're in great shape, but the fact of the matter is, as fucked up as it is, that the vast majority of club managers do not hire heavily tattooed dancers because while there are certainly some customers that like that, most do not. Even though, yes, your tattoos are beautiful and well done, you just have too many of them. If I recall correctly, you have a full sleeve, your back is completely covered as well, you have abdominal tats and I think some work on your legs too.

    Go on and audition if you want to, but I just want to prepare you for the harsh reality that you're likely to encounter there.

    If I ran a club, I wouldn't have an issue with a lot of tats as long as they were well done and the dancer was hot. But I don't run a club and am aware of the expectations of club managers in New Orleans from having worked there for a while.

    Yes, I am completely aware of most clubs policies on tattoos since I have dealt with this ridiculous issue for a number of years now.....
    the Dermablend fiasco at Tens seems to come to mind...haha...
    Also I have already been to N.O. and seen first hand how they feel about highly tattooed dancers....and it wasnt pleasant.
    so I am not expecting to be welcomed with open arms yet I dont see any harm in trying either...
    I have concocted many creative ways to cover them since moving to Portland and have actually worked in a few clubs out here catering to the "Mcstrippers" (and the men who love them!) where tattoos are considered taboo and downright scandalous....and in some of those clubs, with the popular assumption being the clientele frowns upon tattooed dancers or ethnic dancers for that matter, I make the majority of my money BECAUSE of my difference....
    Im not really looking to spend my vacation working just thought it would nice way to make back the $200 I spent...
    Thanks for the heads up... maybe I will give it a go, maybe I wont!
    I would think if I do get hired somewhere having tattoos would be a positive during a bike convention...

    Do you think they have little houses or condo's for short term rentals (more like a hotel set up but with three rooms or so and a couple bathrooms) so that a few girls could travel down together??

    I would do a google search and see what you come up with or call a rental agency that reputable.

    Shesupsidedown: I suggest you give BigDaddy's a try if you want to work NOLA. They are the most reputable of the non-McStripclubs in town and get the most of that business. I knew a couple girls who worked there and while the $$ potential wasn't as good there as at the upscale clubs, it was decent and I'm sure you could at least make your airfare back there. They were definitely more tattoo friendly too, one of the girls I knew there had alot of tats. It's right on Bourbon St, has a pair of female dummy legs on a swing coming through the roof over the street, is a LONGtime landmark, and gets a fair amount of tourist business. It's also a pretty fun place, main stage has a circular spinning bar at the top of the pole and a rotating round platform at one end, and 2nd stage is actually a live snakecage made of plexi. Being an old school NOLA club it's got more than its share of quirks, but that's part of its charm.

    Girls: If you want to work NOLA for Halloween weekend, I think it might be easy to get hired. In my experience, most of the girls wanted to PARTY that weekend (or at least the Saturday night) so the clubs were actually short-handed. I always worked Halloween because fewer girls + plenty of guys wanting to have a good time = easy money. I would definitely work that Sat-Sun if I were there.
