    ^^ My thoughts exactly.

    If by "good" time you mean lots of great dances from a lot of lovely ladies and plenty of good drinks, then $400 to $500 should definitely get you a good time at any establishment, even higher end ones.

    If you're looking for the kind of "good" time that involves extras, you are probably posting on the WRONG site.

    But yeah, $400-$500 would probably cover that, too.

    You've probably figured out by now that your question is like asking, "How much money would I have to bring to a restaurant to have a good meal?"

    It depends on the city, the restaurant and how discriminating you are. And, of course, how much you order (in SCs, how much time you spend there and how much you buy.)

    $400 - $500 for a few hours will be enough for you to be visible. Clubs across the country are so dramatically different that this would be considered "big spender" status in some clubs and "barely worth my time" in others. This latter statement may get me yelled at again, but it's the truth. You show up at PEC in NYC expecting to book a CR upstairs for 4 hours with this cash and they are going to look at you like you've grown a third eyeball right smack in the middle of your forehead.

    So let's take your $400 - $500 and make sure you use it well. First, please be sure to tip stage and not sit in the back sipping beer and enjoying the show for free. Bring a mixture of denominations so you can tip respectfully yet have enough larger denominations to buy dances. Be sure to be a gentleman and buy drinks for the dancers, but recognize that it's never a substitute for tipping them or buying dances (the drinks don't pay the bills.) It's entirely up to you if you want to tip for conversation or dances, but above all, be polite, respectful and recognize that the dancers are at the club to work, so treat them (and pay them) accordingly.

    It's unlikely that you've earned your plastic wings yet -- bringing credit cards into the club and using them intelligently. You have to understand that this is exceedingly hard to do without a great deal of experience, particularly in the higher-end clubs, and even then, many experienced guys refuse to do it. It's not just that the girls are drop-dead, roll-over-and-die gorgeous, but they know how to separate you from every penny you've ever earned or can leverage in your entire life. You've got to really admire this talent. It can get you to do some pretty crazy things with extended spending muscle. You won't regret it, ever, trust me, but it's better for you to experience this later in your SC life when you've learned the game and the dance a bit better and can really enjoy it.

    So for now, take your bankroll and have fun in your club of choice for a few hours. I am sure that you will be welcomed back again if you follow the advice you are seeing in this thread.

    as everyone above mentioned, it depends. i can have a good time at a strip club (as a customer) for about 200. if i -had- 500 to spend, i'd probably go through that too. i've met customers who think spending 50 bucks is ridiculously expensive and i've met ones who treat dropping a grand like it's nothing.

    guess who probably had the better time? heh

    *edited to add* ps. i wasn't incinuating extras... just for the record.

    Along with the question of what club / what city should be how involved do you wanna get? I've had a good time for as low as $25 and on others I've cleared $400+. Of course in the former situation, there weren't any private dances in the expenditure column.

    *shrug* not much to add to what has already been said but I do have a little more food for thought...

    I don't think there *IS* such a thing as enough. It is not a worthy goal. Stay with me here for a minute and I'll explain. Consider, you will have one of two kinds of experiences, a positive one or a negative one. If you have a bad experience, you will likely leave with money in your pocket, no matter how much you bring. Because you will not want to spend it, as you will not be having a good time. If you have a positive experience, then likely you will have met one or more dancers with whom you have decent chemistry and compatability. Because you have said chemistry and, assuming she is at least passable at the job, she will likely have taken all the money you are comfortable spending. You will have a line that you won't cross (hopefully, it is one within the realms of what you can afford but I have had nights were it went past that for me). If she gets you to spend up to the line, then, most likely, you will WANT to spend more. You will just not do so, probably because you have other uses for the money that have a higher priority.

    So this idea that there is a number that you can spend that will take you RIGHT to the point of having a great time without going past it, is an elusive concept. I don't think you'll be able to hit that nail on the head. Better instead to establish what you are willing to, prepared to and comfortable spending, take that much, and hope that you have an experience that motivates you to spend it. If not, better luck next time.

    Just my additional odd thoughts...

    -gen
    "See, believe it or not (and I don't care whether you do), it's never been about the sex. I get sex at home, anytime, and we like it, and it's good for both of us. No, my stripclub experience has been about acceptance, and affirmation, and desirability...There have been some women who have a personality that just clicks with mine, and in the faux-sex atmosphere of the club, it's a mix that is completely seductive." - Jay Zeno

    I don't know.

    Call me stupid, and self-absorbed,
    but there is a big problem when the "you going to the Strip Club" stops being about you and turns into being about the stripper.

    Take whatever amount you feel is comfortable and respectible and enjoy it. Everyone has their personal way of doing things, but the deal is it's about you. If you can spend $50.00 and enjoy yourself as much as TOO can spending $1500.00 without either of you aggrivating the environment (you can spend $1500.00 and still act like you want something for free.) then no big deal.

    Sure if you're spending on the same dancer she would be more happy to see the 1500.00 client than the 50.00 client.... but really? Who cares?

    When you see that rift, and try to make up for it with money that hurts you to spend, thats when the experience becomes very negative.

    Have a good time first. Spending money helps that, but also takes away from the good time when you start to spend too much.

    Sometimes I go in with $1000, somtimes with $100. Most often somewhere around three to five small. I always have fun.

    If you have favs, like it or not, they expect you to spend about what you spent on your last visit-don't be foolish enough to think that they don't remember. If you don't pony-up you will suffer somewhere on down the line on some level. On a "small money" night I don't go looking for a girl I did VIP with last month. If I'm only buying a couple of LD's that night, unless I'm ready to cut the cord with her, I go to a different club.

    I dont that's what the poster meant. The reality is that if he wants attention from the dancers, you need enough for that (of course its all about you--the dancers are there to entertain you). Many clubs have a two drink minumun; if you dont want the dancers near you at all--you still need at least enough to cover that minimum, right?
    What is too much or nothing at all depends on the income and lifestyle of that person. I personally dont go to restraunts or clubs that I cant afford to get what I want. You obviously dont go to the most high end club in the city if you make $15,000 a year--you will go broke in a minute, as your clubbing budget wont go that far.
    400-500 is good in any club--some places it wont get you in vip, but you can still drink enough and get some some dances or tip the stage if you want. I dont thnk customers should EVER use CCs (unless its your job's) clubs seriously rip ppl off with surcharges up to 30%. bad, bad club!
    I'm getting my Dial-A-Stripper service up and running again. If you are in NYC or NJ and are interested in private party dancing, email [email protected] with your SW handle, contact info, photo (if you have one) & best time to call and I'll get back to you asap.

    If you're having a party and need strippers, email me with the details and any questions you have. Thanks!

    Drink hustle clubs are a scam and not worth the effort.

    I bring enough money to have fun but not go broke, and I don't use plastic ever. The key is to bring enough to get what you want and not much more than that.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I love this. And it's SO true. I have had a few custys come in and tell me right away "I'm not going crazy tonight, just here for a beer and a couple of dances, but I'll see YOU next week."

    Great! Excellent! He still has a good time, even spending 100 bucks....

    Go into a club with money you want to spend, have a good attitude, pick the right girls to hang with for the money you have (by this I mean, girls you want to spend your money on) and enjoy yourself. You will have a good time!

    Going to the majority of clubs in the US as a loner, this should be just fine. Keep in mind outrageously expensive cities like NY or LV. Also keep in mind that the standard dance price is in the neighborhood of $20 per song and the standard VIP price is $250 per dancer per 30 minutes. Drinks will run you around $10 per beer on average and most clubs have a two drink minimum.

    Hopefully this is helpful for your next SC trip.

    If you are looking for full service, please do your homework before heading to the SC. Yes, there are hookers in just about every strip club on the planet, but finding them is difficult. If you know how to do your research, you can discover the clubs that are more prone to hire those kind of dancers, instead of embaressing yourself in the wrong club.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    $4-500 is plenty to have fun in any club. It will be more than enough in some clubs and will just tip the iceberg in others. But enough for a good time nonetheless.

    Bring what you can afford to spend in cash, bring ID, no plastic, take a shower and bring a good attitude. Only spend your money on the girls that YOU want, don't just say yes to anyone who asks. That should assure you a good time.

    If you're looking for more than dances in the club, being a newbie to the game, you should probably forget about that unless you happen to go to a club where that sort of thing is rampant - but most of them aren't like that.
