    Workin' For Tips

    Out here in Vegas, unless your real lucky, every dancer works for tips and tips alone. Of course that's in addition to the money that she makes on the side. (ie: Dances and what not)

    The question that I have is; Are all clubs this way?
    When I worked in Denver, the club that I started at paid their girls (that was 9 years ago), But in Vegas they don't. Please tell me what city/state you work in and if they pay you or if you are just "Workin' For Tips."
    I'm just curious, and would like to know.

    I think there's a union run peep show in san fran that pays per hour, not a lot, but then there's tips. don't know if that's still around. then there's been clubs that I could work as an employee rather than an independent contractor, but I didn't want the paperwork.

    I work in Vegas now, but I used to work at a tiny club in n. wisconsin that paid the girls $400 for the week. I think some of the more out of the way clubs do this to bring traveling girls in.

    I have heard of girls being paid, but I'd say for the majority of us it's tips/dance fee. I like it this way. I wouldn't want to have a wage that could be held over my head. I work my own schedule, don't have to call if I can't make it etc...

    yeah in denver they pay the girls the same a waitresses-this helps with taxes and whatnot. but here in Colorado Springs it's all tips and dances.

    In Sydney...on my old club circuit we'd get paid. Cabaret style shows. The money was pretty shite per show but we did at least 7 a night between the clubs. In the old days in was at least 10.. Steady and good money overall. Guaranteed work.
    Showgirls in Kings Cross Sydney used to pay a retainer, though i think aussie said they don't anymore. Actually i think alot of the table dancing clubs in Sydney used to offer a retainer.
    One club here in Amsterdam offers 50 euro a night salary...big extras club though.

    A few places here in Northern NJ pay a small shift pay. My old club paid the top girls $8.00 per set and you did 6 to 7 half hour show sets per night. They also took half of your lapdance money ($20 each, 10 to the house).

    And outta the 48 to 56 I made per night I had to tip the DJ (at least 5, I gave 10 for a weeknight and 20 for a weekend night), the bouncer (at least 5, I gave 10) and tipping the bartender is optional (I always gave 5).

    So basically the payout is to cover tipouts which is nice. You walk with all of your stagetips and half your lapdance money. There is no house fee.

    I wanna say that average earnings here are in the 150 to 200 range for a weeknight and 250-500 for a weekend. But these are small local bars. No pressure and lots of fun because it's so close knit.

    I work in Denver and, depending on the club, you'll either be a ccontractor and get paid nothing, or be an employee and get a servers wage- $2.13 per hour. Either way, you make your living on tips.

    Well, more often than not I pay to work in a club whether it is through a fee or a percentage/cut of each private/lap dance. Hardly any clubs in Australia offer a retainer these days and if they do it isn't much. Definately work for tips (as well as money from private/lap dances) here in Australia.
