    Default Giving a Tip for a Dance?

    Custies, do you tip dancers for a dance?

    Whether it's air dances, couch dances, table dances, lap dances, etc. Do you tip beyond the normal price for the dance?

    -Why/Why not?
    -How much do you give?

    Rarely, its not the culture here.

    I am talking directly on the LD.

    If I am getting dances from someone, they will usually see almost as much money in stage tips as they will see in LD money from me. In my mind I am tipping them, I just do it where the other guys can see, it seems to increase her value in their eyes, and they spend on her.

    They always feel special from the stage tips, as most guys don't stage tip here either and the other girls get a bit jealous.

    I never answered the poll because I do it more than "rarely", but not enough to say "most of the time". More like "sometimes".

    The factors generally involve:

    1. The price of the dance: (dances priced below $20 almost always get a tip, above $20 not so much). Prepay dances $0. Severely cut songs $0, unless they're cheap.

    2. How many dances were sold. "One and dones" usually $0; Multiples, I might throw an extra $5-$15 on. Mass multiples (like 10+ dances) about 10% of my "tab".

    3. How well I connect with the dancer. An established fave will usually get a bigger tip and more likelihood of getting a tip than a new gal. Oh, and girls who have to ASK for a tip get $1 per song performed if I'm in a good mood.

    4. My general mood at the moment. See last sentence of above.

    5. The contents of my wallet. Sometimes a gal cleans you out and there's nothing left, or the only bill you have is too big. I try to make up for that later if I can.

    I always hope for a dance that is tip worthy. When it does happen it's usually 10 bucks. I think that is reasonable for a $20 -$30 above average dance. But if the dance is average or below I don't tip.

    Difficult to vote because I really don't tip for $20 dances on the floor. It's like a $20 bill is easy and you're done with it. Although you can look at buying the dancer a drink as a "semi-tip". Please don't flame me because I know you rather have the $$.

    In VIP, I tip more often especially if using "funny money". The tip often helps to cover the percentage that the club takes out of the dancer's funny money.

    OK, this is gonna sound wierd, but most of the time I tip it's for bad dances. As a rule if I decide to buy a dance from you and it's good or even just decent plus you're a little engaging, I generally buy in blocks of 5. In Reno earlier this year I went back to the couch room (2 dance min) with a dancer who, while adept on stage with the pole and seemed very nice, was completely devoid of any LD skills. After 2 songs, I thanked her and gave her $60 out of pity, really, as I doubted she would ever be able to sell multiples.

    Last trip to LV after the ATF left, the DJ steered me towards a new to the club dancer and I lost interest after 4 and paid her for 5. Why? Hell, I don't know. Is my tipping preventing dancers from recognizing they need to work on their LD skills? Maybe, but I don't care cuz I know not to buy from them again. Now, there's a little blonde russian dancer who I will never tip because I want every dance I can pay for. She's never asked for a tip, but she knows if I'm available she's going to make $200-$300 from me.

    look, it's ms. sweatpants. is this some attempt to shame customers into tipping? LOL. ok..enough laughing at your expense and to answer your question. it depends on the stripper. is she on the roster or has she done anything to earn favor? if so, the answer is yes. if not..well, the answer is a resounding, "no".

    If I know the girl and/or we click, I'll usually tip something. If it was an extraordinary performance, I will definitely tip something--but nothing excessive in any case.

    My attitude toward tipping strippers out of obligation is the same as tipping the jar at the burrito place; I'm not paying extra for something I'm already paying you to do anyway.

    I'm in the "most of the time" category. I will only not tip if the contact level is way below the norm for that club or the dancer shows an obvious disinterest. Most of the time tipping is pretty automatic, especially if I'm getting a club special.

    It varies for me, depends on the girl, depends upon the dance, many times my tip will be buying another dance. CO's burrito analogy about sums up my feelings too.

    I will only tip if the girl does something above and beyond what was negotiated, for example a blow job.

    Well, here we don't payout to the club; so tipping is not expected or required. Of course - money is always appreciated, but it is not really material to me whether the guy tips me $20 or just gets another dance. I may thank him more effusively for a tip than the dance, but that is just tipping karma. If I were working some place where I only got $12 on the dance, I might push the tipping issue a little harder, though.

    Hardly... I was just curious. I get tipped but very sporadically. Sometimes I get a 300% tip, sometimes I get 10%. I don't think my dances are soooo variable. I just wanted to get a customers perspective.

    like a human metronome? funny, i never met a dancer whose dances were consistent in all aspects every time she stepped up to the plate. anyway, customers are variable....YMMV (your money may vary).

    Default Re: Giving a Tip for a Dance?

    I tip 100% of the time for private dances. Well, except for the one time a dancer passed out on me but I don't count that one.

    One $25 dance - $5 tip. It's rare I get just one dance. In the cases I do, it's because I found little enjoyment in the dance and/or her personality hence the nominal tip.

    For two dances, I'll pay $70 including tip.
    Three dances I'll give an even $100.

    If I take advantage of the 5 dancers for $100 deal, I'll usually give $125-150.
    If I take advantage of the 30mins for $200 deal, I'll usually give $250.

    If I happen to be at the club during a 2 for 1 special, I'll pay full price for the dances I get.

    I've never tried to work out a flat % to pay out tips and I can't really explain how I settled on my standard tipping system. That being said, the tips get a little better for dances I'd consider exceptional.

    One may ask why I still tip for dances I didn't like. A nominal tip isn't a big deal really. I mean you still tip a waitress in a restaurant even if the food you received wasn't that great. You just don't eat there again the next time you're hungry. It's the same with dances for me.

    I should probably qualify this post by mentioning that I am based in Canada where the smallest paper bill is the $5 bill. I refuse to pay in $1 & $2 coins.

    I'm more likely to tip than not for a private dance or set of dances, but it's typically in the $5-$10-$20 range rather than a percentage of the dance price. The only sure-fire way to insure a tip is to help me braid my leg hair.

    I think it was well summarized above.

    VIP gets a tip $15-20 on a $125 1/2 hour rate Dancer gets 100
    Occasionally on 2-5 dance LD sets tip will be $10-20

    Depends on relationship/chemistry with dancer and how long we've know each other. Dances should be better than average as defined by good chemitry and low dancer drama scales. Never have never will tip for an airdance. Dancers asking for tips get no tip and no more dances.
