I go to Treasures during the day shift when I need to relax and I have thought about taking some of the girls I meet upstairs for more privacy and I was wondering how much I should expect to pay for everything as far as bottle, waitress tips, and fee for extras before I give it a try. I also sometimes go during the night shift but usually on a sunday since I dont like the crowds on Friday & Saturday night.
I'm a Saturday night regular at the Pirate Ship, so thanks for not liking me. <_<
I've only been once since they changed the back, but my buddy "Grant" was able to get me and my friend upstairs without a bottle. We knew the waitress though.
I'm a downstairs stairs guy but I was up there last month one time. If I remember right it was 150 for a bottle of whatever.
Pornstaro's right, CB would have a much better handle on the cost
The bottle will run 100-125 (sometimes they have 75 specials)
Most of the night girls have delusions of grandur and want 500/hr - yea right. You can talk virtually everyone down. But you expect to pay 2-300 for an hour or so for the extras. If you want to just spend time up there with the babe, expect to pay 100-200hr for just hanging out.
Tip the waitress for the bottle (and to leave you alone!) - 15-20% $20-25 is usual.
If you put the dances on your credit card (and that assumes you have had a complete lobotomy or at least your frontal lobe removed), then you can expect to tip the waitress on the entire tab (100+300 + @20% = $80ish min)
Plus the "dances" are 25 each rather than 20 - so stop at the ATM before you arrive.
I expect uninformed consumers to go upstairs or to any VIP at a strip club because they simply don't know any better or as mentioned above, there has been some serious surgery in your recent past.
I don't expect any sane guy to pay 300-500+ to drop his knickers on the ground, for a 15 min bj or 15 FS CW style with his eyes open looking for the danger!
OH, with the rodeo BS in town, etc the price of poker will only go up for the next week or so.
Finally (Yes FINALLY), if you are still interested in going upstairs, Pornstaro and I have a deeds to several buildings downtown that we can sell you at VERY good prices!

Thanks for all the info. I found 2 girls I just really was attracted to and I put a few dances on my CC but was sane enough not to go upstairs with a tab open. the waitress was quoting some insane price of $900+ for the bottle dancer and her tip for an hour but being from ASPD (which she didnt know) I would rather spend many hours with a local independant for that price over a rushed CFS BJ in a booth. I can only imagine she must expect as much as the dancer to hit that price. I just had about 5 dances from each girl and since I wasnt looking for extras I was satisfied and left happy. I have thought about taking one upstairs since they were both smoking hot asian dancers and I have a weakness for asians. I cant remember their names but I know they work nights and I have thought of going back on a Sunday to see if they are there.
Yeah Metal_Head I would go on a Saturday but I just figured it would be too crowded to get a girl and have fun. the few times I went on a weekend all the good booths were taken. if its good on Sat I might have to break down and try it

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (blowpop @ Mar 3 2009, 11:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>True, but I went to my first SC at 17. It has become the normal hangout with the boys after a long week. Austin just isn't as expensive as Houston. For about 200 a night about 2-3 times a week, I was the shit in Austin at probably 2 clubs. Here in Houston, a couple grand every week and you're still nothing. Even though it's expensive for the p4p and they prey on suckers like me, it still makes for some interesting stories, lol.Quote:

MH, I'm not saying that you shouldn't go, I'm saying that you shouldn't fall prey to the stripper (and club) BS designed to empty your wallet. Never, ever forget that to a stripper, you're never "the shit" you're just an ATM.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (blowpop @ Mar 3 2009, 12:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>I know what you mean BP. I didn’t mean it like that. I know strippers are there for one thing and one thing only. I would never be excited that a stripper liked me. When you get to the point you don’t pay a cover…ever, you get free drinks, always sit in VIP without paying for VIP, and even stay after hours for drinks with a few ladies and the managers/owners, I’d say that’s a job well done. However, it took a couple of years of being a regular to get to that level. Damn I miss my old SCs in my old town. I go back about once a month, but it’s not the same. A lot can change in management in 2 years.Quote:

The two most important lessons I've learned:
NEVER USE A CREDIT CARD AT A SC, AND LEAVE YOUR ATM CARD IN THE CAR(this last doesn't apply at Treasures seeing how they don't have an ATM)
Of course, it's not just that you'll pay more by using a credit card at a strip club. It's that you'll leave a perpetual electronic trail that even a half-assed divorce lawyer can recognize and exploit very effectively. Even if you're single, you still never know what future employer or government agency is going to be comparing your tip rate to the time entries. Even paranoids have real enemies, and only a fool leaves a record of his play-time when he need not.

Even though most SCs use a corporate name on your charge card - its NOT a secret that a charge from Trumps was the old Ricks, or 21-Bar-b-que was the old Cougers. (Yea, I was very stupid when I was younger)
Those names probably don't even fool your WIFE anymore.
It can't be said too many times: When playing in this thing of ours, USE CASH. Always. Every time. No exceptions. The paper trail you don't leave may save your ass.

Sometimes when you lose all inhibitions due to drinking an insane amount of champagne and assorted shots and two exquisite beauties giving you alternate BJs upstairs at the Treasure Chest (TC), you give in and relinquish your Amex card. In my case, I should have left home without it because with Amex cards, you have to pay off the whole balance at the end of the month. Lessons learned, never take any credit cards to TC or any other strip clubs.
Treasure Chest is an alias my homey came up for Treasures.
I feel your pain. A friend did that years ago at a club in Austin. Imagine his surprise when he discovered a $3K charge on his card. Fortunately, he was single.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (blowpop @ Mar 24 2009, 09:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>I wonder if bluntman has rec'd his bill YET??? Closing a tab before going upstairs....that will probably mean that no extra charges were added :lol: :blink:Quote:

Same thing happened to me after a bachelor party at T's. Good ol' AMEX, the tip added on was 40% of the tab as opposed to the usual 10 or 15. I have learned my lesson.

Work on them to play outside the club, they see more money you save some, cut the middleman out. This is where UTR private stash starts.
Then of course you can send me their numbers... :lol:
Many years ago, a club "added" a "1" in front of an already three figure tip on my AMEX card. I got it cleared up through AMEX, it was an obvious change, but the lesson is you can't trust these people at all.
