New strip club ideas...

[Typical Teenager]

After reviewing recent rantings on Kamur and other dance clubs in San Jose, I'm curious as to what guys coming here really want in a strip club. Obviously no one wants to pay US prices for services such as dances and drinks like some of these clubs charge...but then you have complaints about Kamur and other clubs that are the cheapest places in town. So...what is it really you want? Let me start a poll though it will be somewhat unscientific. I would like to make it where you can click on multiple options of interest...but for now lets start with the most IMPORTANT aspect of a club to YOU...

Club owners or wannabees...take note 8)

Tough one! How about all of the above? If I were a clubowner or wannabe the most important aspect in a strip club for me would be to charge HIGH[/b} cover, guy drink, chica drink, lap dance and back room fees. SO I'm not sure how helpful this poll would be. Speaking as a customer, allow me to analyze how I'd approach this question.

The back room fees are out. Unless they fell to the level of an MP like ZB, I doubt any high quality strip joint will provide any great bargain. Places like Arcada's and Molino Rojo provide rooms for about 10K per half hour which is about the same as ZB, NF or IDEM, but the rooms themselves are pretty scuzzy and the chica selection quality at those places are not up to the same levels as those places or more upscale clubs like Kamur, PR et el. Ultimately, if room fees are high, one can always make arrangements to meet the girls off-site anyway.

I'd have to scratch guy drink prices off the list next. Personally, I'm not a heavy drinker anyway and even if I were strip joints would not be the place to go on a binge. If it weren't for the pressure tactics these places use to push drinks, I'd say its an easy matter to save my drinking for before or after I go to the club.

Similarly, knowing these places to charge heavily for chica prices, I go there with the gameplan to try to keep it within bounds. Buying drinks for myself is one thing, but what motivation would I have to go crazy buying drinks for the chica. The only reason I do is for what she does for me while she's sitting there with me at the table sipping her drink and not for the drink itself. Again, if it weren't for the club pressure tactics it would be a simple matter not to spend too much on chica drinks. JUST SAY NO.

The price of lap dances gets a little closer to the mark on why I go to the strip joints in the first place. I don't go to drink, or buy drinks, or go in the back. I can do that with chicas at many other venues for much less money. I go to strip clubs to get a little tease in the form of the floor show view and the tableside fondle and perhaps to do a little shopping for after hours. I would have voted for this if it was for a "table-dance", which is essentially what you get when you buy a chica a drink, but if I can get my feels in at tableside I don't need to pay more for a lapdance in a private area.

Alternatively, if I could pay a higher cover price to avoid all the pressure to follow, it would make it far easier to avoid spending as much on all of the above. SO I picked this option. Unfortunately, I'm not so certain paying a higher price would really wind up doing all that or whether the pressure from the staff and dancers would creep back anyway.

OTOH, while it would be nice to be able to sit in peace and not have to be constantly on my guard fending off the pressure at every turn. I'd like to think I can do that better than many other guys, particularly since I never allow myself to get drunk and lose control. So maybe keeping the cover cheaper and reducing the price of lapdances (or the "tabledances" you get when you buy chica drinks) would work more to my advantage since other free spending heavy drinking gringos who can't resist the pressure will wind up paying the freight for the club-owners profits

Well, Mr. T, it appears great minds think alike. I've been having just these sort of thoughts in my head about sounding out members on these types of issues. And I keep coming back to one single concept - is it not possible to do all these things and still be profitable? Why can't someone just DO IT right for a change??? It's not rocket science, is it?

BTW: remembering well the incredible "pre-remodeling" experiences in the backrooms at Kamur, I had to opt for #3 if forced to make a choice.

Any chance of creating a rating system of which is most important(1), to least important(5) or "even not important at all"?

In my limited time at Kamur and Centerfolds I never felt pressured to buy drinks for myself or the ladies.In two visits at Pantera Rosa I ended up going to the bar and asking for a drink I don't think I was asked even one time if I wanted one.

I checked the third choice as I had to chose one and I go to Costa Rica for the real thing and not just a tease. I don't really want to pay a large cover because I prefer to go to lots of places.I may hit three or four places in one night.The last chocie would be nice, but sort of a dream for strip clubs as they have to make thier money some way if they don't charge a large cover. With reasonable session fees they would actaully get a lot more on rooms because they would do more volume with gringos and locals. Best place I have found to date is Margaritas as they have some nice talent with reasonable cost sessions but they still hustle the drinks and they are $7 to $8 for girls about the norm. At least some of the chicas trully show you lots of fun if you buy them a drink or two. Just some of a budget hobbists thoughts.rbc100

Keep on mongering, see ya someday

Let the gals rent the rooms

I don't know why the hotels don't rent the rooms to the gals and than let them conduct their business. Between room rents and the drinks I am sure a place can make a pretty good return on investment. They can also have a cover charge for the Chicas.....

Everything would seem to be legal than. Gals are free to conduct their business. All the rooms are rented. The drinks are flowing. All the gals in the joint have paid a cover so they need to work to recover their money.
