    Thumbs up New Club in Tampa - Platinum

    Hey ladies. New owners (from Toledo, Ohio) have re-opened a club down here in Tampa. The old Pink Pony/Crazy Horse is now “Platinum”. For all you local Tampa ladies, if you haven’t been in there, you should definitely come by and check us out. They have remodeled the place, it looks great. And the management/owners look like they are spending the cash to advertise to get customers. For example, they are doing radio advertising with 98 Rock. There was no cover for the customers (that's unheard of at the nude clubs). To get dancers, they are offering:
    1. NO house fee
    2. They guarantee a minimum (if you work a full shift)
    It was $100 for day shift and $200 for night shift, but they just ended that this week. It’s now $75 for day and $100 for night. I know its not a lot, but hey, some of you ladies have been complaining that you don’t even make that! Also, I know Pink Pony had that reputation, but this a COMPLETLY DIFFERENT club. They have installed cameras in all the dance areas. And there is a VIP hostess that works in the dance area.

    I’m not trying to pull a fast one, so I’ll be up front with what you pay. You can charge $25 to $30 per dance; the club collects $5 from you in the “Friction Room”. In the "Suites", you can set your own rates. The club takes a set amount depending on the time (15, 30, or 60 minutes). The club also has a "VIP" room for big spenders. The club just charges $400 for access to the room (up to 7 guys). If customers are in that room, the ladies can charge what they want for dances.

    Regarding tip out, you have your standard 10 percent to the DJ, and tip out to the bouncer. I’m only working days, so I’m not sure how the night time tipout works if there are multiple bouncers.

    So ladies, try it for a couple weeks, it couldn’t hurt. And tell ‘em Big Rich the DJ sent ya. (Unless I'm there, then ask for me)

    hahahahahahaha. trying it for even a single shift could hurt if you're working at another nude club already.

    also, i can excuse guys who just come in to look (as long as they aren't wasting my time), but i'll be damned if i put up with those guys if they aren't at least paying to get in.

    a lot of clubs advertise with 98rock. like, almost all of them.

    plus they are firing the girls that move to this club from the area.

    Thats why you haven't seen an influx of girls.

    As I said, if there are days you're not doing well at your current club, come over on those days, that shouldn't hurt.

    Who's firing girls? Platinum or your current club? I know when Penthouse opened, Big Jim at Thee Dollhouse told all the girls that if they went to Penthouse, they would not be welcome back. That's the only club manager I heard that was doing that.

    my current club and i have heard of others threatening to fire us if we move over.

    I like the changes because i have seen them with my own eyes but i can't move.

    maybe you should stop allowing other club's managers in your club?

    May I inquire which club you work at so we know who to turn away? Again, not all clubs are doing this. So it would be impolite to not give some club courtesy towards others in the industry. I'd expect it if I walked into another club.

    Well so far, we've seen girls from Mons, 2001, & Scarletts/Ybor Strip that I know of. None of them said anything to that regards. We may have girls from other clubs too, but I haven't talked to each and every one.

    first of all... that add on 98rock implies heavy action.

    second of all... the add says customers get a FREE LAPDANCE.......wtf?

    third of all... i know a hooker who went to work there. sure.. you get them anywhere, but it makes me wary.

    the thing about jim is true. we aren't allowed to work at penthouse and come back. that's because it's right down the street and is the exact same type of club. it's very direct competition. we are, however, allowed to work at any other club so long as we still do our shifts. we can also leave and come back (generally speaking).

    i went over to platinum and so did a friend of mine. we were both hired on staff and i ended up not going to work there, but my friend did.

    it was a friday night..the "GRAND OPENING"...HAH.

    she was the only waitress and she made 90 dollars.

    fuck that

    i tried telling the new owners about summertime in Tampa and they blew me off not wanting to hear the small advice i had.

    that building has bad luck since the pink pony raids back in '03 and NO club will thrive there.

    they didnt even want to let in my girlfriend for free one AFTERNOON so i could show her how pretty the place is now. WTF?!

    even the guy who OWNS THE BUILDING had to pay to get in.

    he never pays anywhere, nor does he ever make club owners pay at his clubs. (he owns many around tampa)


    that place is gorgeous, yes, but its a joke....


    and to Big Rich....the majority of the girls you got from mons or 2001 were there as staff....the ones who danced are back on their own turf, im SURE.

    no offense, but you've sent recruiters into my club. trying to steal girls from another club while they're working isn't exactly good club courtesy. maybe if you hadn't done that, there wouldn't be a ban on girls going over to try you out.

    i've heard the ad too. not very appealing for the ladies. and seriously...free lapdance? psh.

    not surprised by the last bit. in summer, a clean girl would have to be beyond stupid to start at a brand new club.

    so that is why there is a ban?

    personally i like what they did to the club but i agree, pink pony was the pits and im not sure you can do anything to fix that.

    ^ no idea, but it certainly makes sense. at the very least, it's fair.

    i think we just have enough/too many clubs as it is. for whatever reason, that one wasn't able to find the appropriate customer base to cater to, or they weren't able to do it better than others. i doubt it'll be able now. maybe once season starts it'll stand a chance.

    ^you're right. the market here is saturated. the -only- way a new club can exist here is to offer something different from the bevy of other well established clubs.

    tampa has its nudes, topless and bikini clubs and within all of those it has its clean clubs and it's dirty clubs .. its upscale clubs and its dives

    and i'd like to note (just for the record) that upscale does not always = clean and dive does not always = dirty.. which is why i seperated those terms.

    It is all about location baby! Mlk isn't as trafficked as DM..... and its not the best area.


    at least i think this is a good part of why.
