~ Fees: $8 before 11am, $35 before 7pm, $60 after 10pm. ~ Tipouts: $20 doormen, 10% to DJ (a lot of clubs say 10% but we all know this is BS spewed by DJs; however at Sonny's they WILL check on the room sales sheet and you will hear about it if you didn't tip at least 10% of your room sales). ~ Pricing structure: $10 and $20 floor dances (based on chair or couch), 4-for-$100 (house takes $10), $200 half hour (house takes $25), $400 45 min room w/mini bottle (house takes $50), $500 hour room w/bottle (house takes $150). Sonny's is very, very hit or miss. The club seems to struggle to bring in customers. I found the fees to be absurdly high in proportion to the amount of customers that come in; my home club has 4x the volume and the fees are still lower. There are very few girls and its not busy, so everyone is in everyone's business all the time. Do NOT count your $$ in the DR or smoking area. Customers: If you find a guy who doesn't come in much, he can be 2-3 song hustled. I did well whenever I got lots of these guys in a night. Unfortunately it's in buttfuck Egypt so those aren't common, and most of the locals have been trained by the girls to hang out for STUPID amounts of time (45 mins to 2 hours) before buying even floor dances. Managers: They're reasonably cool but they seem to play favorites. If they don't like you, they will squeeze every $1 from you and nitpick at you. If they like you, you can do as you please and you'll get your house waived on bad nights. There is a lot of blaming girls when they don't make $$ despite the lack of customers; I got multiple lectures from doormen about everything from my attitude to that the girls should be out promoting, and when I told management I wasn't making enough $$, got lectured on what time I should be coming in (apparently every other time besides the 7 hour window I was doing was poppin'... yeah right). Overall, if you live in Chandler and have either another home club or a vanilla job, it can sometimes be worth it to come in at night (after 8pm, Tues/Weds/Friday/Sunday), but I would NEVER make this my only club, it's too unreliable.

Additional Information
I worked at Sonny's from January to March of this year. I am mostly a daytime dancer, so I will focus on the dayshift. When I left, the dayshift was extremely slow, with average quality girls. The night girls do start to come on in the mid-afternoon, however, and there are lots of them ranging from drop dead gorgeous sex kittens to older ladies who probably shouldn't be dancing. Looks aside, almost every dancer there was friendly and easy to get along with. Very low drama, not a lot of drugs, and a lot of "real" people with lives outside of stripping. Very friendly and supportive management really takes care of girls who are willing to work. Dances are $10 on the floor and when I left there was a policy in effect outlining fines for rule violations. Table dances are pretty much air dances. There is a separate, raised VIP area which isn't super private, but more so than the floor, and dances there are $20 with less contact restrictions. Either way, this is one of the cleanest clubs in the valley and there is money to be made, although not always in the daytime. The main stage is average sized with an average height pole. The VIP stage is a tiny round thing. Customers are Mexican blue collar workers and construction with the occasional businessman. Some of them are handsy. Security is very supportive. This club is in an area where housing prices are skyrocketing, and I would predict that in the next few years it will prove to be as lucrative as Scottsdale. Bottom line, I had to put up with way less BS from customers here and dances are way cleaner than any of the 50,0000 competing clubs in Phoenix. No extras girls that I remember. Absolutely worth checking out. Sabre
