Does anybody know of any good booking clubs in north-central, north west, or central-ish Illinois? Say north of Urbana and out of the Chicago area?
Thanks!

Clubs don't book for the most part in that area. They work house girls. The clubs that have paid bookings are in the areas I mentioned with possibly a few exceptions.
By going on www:stripclublist.com and reading posts under Illinois clubs, and looking at websites of the clubs that have them you might get an idea of how the clubs are run.
Most of the girls who work clubs that have bookings regularly live in Des Moines, Omaha,Sioux Falls, and Minneapolis. A lot of Milwaukee girls too, but they are known for after hours sex, and work in the sleazy clubs. Those cities put you closest to the bulk of the booking clubs.





Yikes! Thank you, Tina, for all the great information you gave me here and in the stripping general forum. I am really really confused right now as to how I am going to procede.
Definitely going to try out at the lamplighter. I also looked on the stripclublist.com site, and found out some interesting things about the club right up the street from mine--namely, that they have prettier girls who charge twice as much per dance, and many of the girls there won't give white guys the time of day. Do I sense and opportunity???
Anyway, thanks for all the good info; now I jsut have to figure out how to use it!

I've been to several clubs. Lamp Lighter in Ottawa, Silver Slipper in Ottawa, and Kappa Kabana north of Bloomington-Normal. Evidently, I only go to Illinois clubs that have double initials.
Of those three, I liked Kappa for looking and acting like middle/upscale club, and Lamp Lighter for having no pretentions about being anything other than a grungy, fun, neighborhood club. Silver Slipper had a steel rod up its collective ass when I was there - maybe it was a bad night, or maybe they've gotten more relaxed since then.





Colleen , I knew you would have a lot to sort out. Every small town club isn't good, and besides the areas I mentioned, most pay no base pay.
I would only recommend a handful of road clubs to work in that don't pay base pay as the amount of volume they get or their setup might not be profitable for you. The bulk of booking clubs obviously are in and around South Dakota.
I am not sure how far in advance Lamplighter books but it is at least 6-7 weeks out. You may be able to try out Ridgewood II in Ft. Madison for 4 nights for tips only with little leadtime JUST to get a feel for a small club, and still not terribly far from home.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
The three clubs worth working at in Rockford are State Street Station, Tiger's Tail, and Bigfoot Lounge. There are some other clubs in town, but they are sleazy and you don't want to work there.
I have heard a couple of dancers complain that its hard to make money at Bigfoot, and other dances complain that State Street and Tiger's Tail have too many girls currently working (especially on weekends). I don't think that any of these clubs does bookings, but I don't think that they keep real tight schedules with the girls either. Feel free to PM me if you want any additional details.



I'm back after losing my password and the system not remembering me!![]()
The best club in Peoria is big Al's Has been in business in the same spot for at least thirty years. I remember it from 15 years ago. It is full nude with full bar.
I'd say light contact.
Kappa is very close to yolu in Bloomington/Normal. It is also full nude with full bar. Big new facility with full restaurant.
Actualy of the three clubs you mentioned I like them all but lamplighter.
I'd rate it this way.
1. Kappa in Kappa
2. Big Als in Peoria
3. Silver Slipper.
I don't like lamp lighter. It is too small. Kappa is about 15 minutes north of bloomington where you are located.



Colleen: I confused you with the other post on central Illinois. You are obviously not the dancer from Bloomington/Normal area and thus Kappa is probably no where near close to
you unless you are near I80.
