Nice to meet you Lola, let me tell you everything...
IN 1979
I was born into "The Business".
My grandfather, Alberto, opened the first topless club just outside of Joshua Tree California in Twenty-Nine palms back in 71.
When he past in 84, my father Gino and my grandmother inherited the business. From the time I was 5, my earliest memories are going to liquor wholesalers with my father and pushing a mop & bucket. literally, I was born into it.
My point is not that I am (nor do I claim to be) the manager of the year- My point is that I've been in it long enough to know good from bad methods of management. Furthermore, a manager who puts himself before ANY of his employees will find it hard for him to "manage" a club in a strained environment.
I wish you wouldn't say that I think you're stupid- dancers are the smartest people I know. That's precisely why I posted that convention list, so that YOU, can see which dates are good to visit.
What good would I possibly gain from an dancer looking to make $
*,
*****?
Absolutely Nothing. She's not going to come back- ever. She's not going to plug us to other circuit dancers. There's nothing to tip the DJ or floorman/doorman. The only thing I get is angry employees, upset that they didn't make money. Been there, done that, moved forward.

37 YEARS.
Over the years, we grow and change with the times and I think our management style is the future. We learn from the big chains that immigrated to Bourbon Street. For instance: Hustler, Penthouse & Rick's are all great clubs who handle their dancers with a professional approach- but who wants a 10 page contract that could be used against them the minute they hit the floor? No one. See see this take the good out of their strategy and leave the bad behind.
Collectively, we draw more clientele than both Barely Legal and Temptations. I've known our Budweiser reps for years- the only adult club that sells more Bud Light than us is Hustler. Scarlet's, didn't even last one year on Bourbon Street.
I am not trying to get every dancer to come here- only the one's who should be here.

DANCING
- I'd say the average dancer does 10 dances a night. Usually 1/2 of them table and the other 1/2 lap dances. Here's the best part: DANCER SETS OWN PRICE. That works out great for various reasons. Some girls are more comfortable doing (10) $20 dances while others can pull (5) $40 dances a night.
- We have a special deal that a lot of lot of girls like: 3 dances for $100. Of course, a dance lasts one song.
- Stage sets are 2 songs. Yes, customers tip and we keep out stage seats filled.
- Dancers can touch the customers, but customers cannot touch dancers without her consent. Although, they will try and you will politely move his hand away. We use the "Drink Up" technique and hand him his beer.
CLIENTEL
- The dress code is strict, but at our discretion. Essentially, if the customer is a jackass, we enforce it as to not let them in. Take your pick: No hoodies, no backwards hats, no white t-shirts, no extra long shirts, no extra long shorts, no tank tops, no beanies, no bandanas, no baggy cloths, no sunglasses, no sandals, no outside drinks, no loud abnoxious yelling. Furthermore, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
- We had roughly 300 drink orders last night and 6 girls. We could have had twice as many customers, but we filter our customers and deny entry to unruly patrons so we can save seats for and focus more on gentlemen.
- All customers must purchase a minimum of 1 drink
ACCOMODATIONS:
- We have furnished apartments that we rent out to dancers at a discounted price. At the moment, they're all full. Most girls here will gladly put up "the new girl" for a few nights for a few bucks. $25 a night is the going rate these days.
VIP
- V.I.P. prices range from $200-outragously expensive. It is not uncommon for us to run a corporate card up to $2,000. The magic numbers are $260 and $360, although last night one dancer sold (3) back to back $460 shows to one customer. The club takes $100 for every vip show. The club made $300. She made $1,080.
- Anything a customer charges to his credit card shows as "Food & Beverage" on his statement, so it's not only discreet, but tax deductable. And we let him know this as soon as we are aware he has a credit card.
- Customer gets champaign and free drinks with purchase of VIP.
- All VIP rooms are closely monitored on camera by the VIP manager.
- Customer does NOT get a blow-job, hand-job or the right to remove his pants.
TIP OUT
- Either you love it or you hate it, tip out is 20% of whatever you make.
- Depending on the reasons (like if you were asleep in the dressing room the whole night) if you didn't make over $100, we don't make you tip out.
- Tip out is split between management, door host & DJ. There is no need to tip out the DJ. There are no floor fees.
The catch, is that we are not DEJA VU. The owner is cheap and doesn't believe in purchasing red velvet chairs and fresh flowers.
Maybe we are stupid for putting ourselves last: Give someone a hand and they take an arm, taking our kindness for weakness, etc. But I sleep better at night knowing I made a successful production without screaming at customers or fighting with dancers for every dollar. At least, that's my philosophy.
