Additional Information
I gave this place a shot because it was close and I had the expensive license already so "what the hell". I know a former DJ there as well who thought I could clean house on the local girls. Day manager (Brian): cool. Night managers and owner: douches. I'm about 90% sure the owner is in the mob and the place is just a cover. Other girls: mostly nice, albeit trailer trashy. The last day I worked, some aging meth head tattled on me to the owner and then announced it to my face. Nearly ended in a fist fight. Yeah, that kind of place. Fees: fucking insane for the level of club. Between all the tip outs and house, I paid more to work than I did at Centerfolds (which was a HUGE club and always busy) or almost anywhere else. It would easily cost $50-$75 to work a day shift. Money: I was here during the end of 'season' but there were noooo customers. In 4 shifts of varying time slots, I never broke $100. I sold a dance or two to everyone who walked in but the guys just weren't there. Other info: I have never felt so watched or trapped in a club. The back door is locked with an actual key and they make sure you know it; that tells me lots of girls have said fuck it and left out that way without paying fees. Staff are more concerned with watching girls in this creepy way than they are with watching customers. I can't really explain this but it gave me a very bad feeling working here.

Hiring Tips: you'll need a $154 permit, but they'll generally get you work for a day to earn the money for it.
Additional Information
I've heard the stories of what the Flame used to be like, but it seems that they got bought somewhere in 2006, and the new management is awesome. It's one of the stricter clubs I've worked in, contact-wise, and the easiest place to deal with bookings I've ever seen. The only rules about bookings are that you have to work a certain amount of shifts during the week to be allowed to work a Friday or a Saturday night shift, and a shift is 6 hours. Otherwise, show up when you want. The DJs are great, friendly guys, who will work with you on music choices. The club is small, and only has one stage, so it's pretty much dancers' choice. Even with tipping out everyone in the club (there's a minimum tipout for all the male staff, even the managers), I spent less to work there than I have at any other club I've worked at. (I should add here that this IS the only [I]AZ[/I] club I have worked.) The customers are a mix of locals and snowbirds; most will at least buy you a drink, and it's not difficult to get table dances ($10), although most local guys have to particularly like you to be convinced to go for a couch dance ($20). I never really banked here, but my bills were paid, I had fun, nothing traumatic happened, and I was able to save up enough money to get ot the next stop in my travels and have a bit left over, on 3 short shifts a week.

The owner is really bad, if you make over $200.00 and he finds out about it, he will help himself to a hundred or more of your money depending on how much you made. This is above and beyond what the standard tip out is, which is $40.00 on weeknights, $60.00 on weekends. The club doesn't serve alcohol so the average rush is an hour in the evening from 8 to 9 and Saturday nights are very busy with the most men. 8 to 12 Many of the dancers have regulars but unfortunately this is mostly what comes through the door. It is almost impossible to make any money because these men want dances from the girls they like. Because of lack of volume, there just isn't enough men to go around. I later found out from my husbands uncle who was working on a real estate deal with the owner that the owner is involved in some very questionable dealings involving dancers, drugs and money. The only upside to this club is that there are some of the coolest and nicest ladies working there. Unlike many of the younger dancers, there were many older ones who really had their heads on straight and had it together.
