Unnammed location in East Dundee
Ok guys check this out.
I was driving on 72 just about to East Dundee when I see lights and an open sign in an industrial park. It has that look so I swing around. The address is 1141 E Main ST ste 107.
No number and no info.
I did some digging and found the number is: 847 428 4099. This number is all over backpage and Chicago after dark.
I called the number and the girl I talked to said its not a massage parlor. 2 for 1h FS. I asked her the name of her place and if they had a web site. She told me there is no name and no website. WTF. Not passing the sniff test
I checked it out further and another site lists it as a rip-off (no surprise but only one review)
Still every time I drive by at night there are cars there. Has anyone been there?
Here is a link off backpage for today:

Totally Agree With Bbbuddy
That Is Very True. It Does Seem Like A Rite Of Passage With Fellow Mongers Though That Everyone Gets Ripped Off At A Jackshack at least Once. Happened to me about Six years ago on Lake St.
If I see a Hot 19 year old charging 1.25 I assume its a fraud.. I stick with ugly women for that unless there is a reliable reference...
[QUOTE=Bbbuddy]The maxim- if it's too good to be true, it usually is. Applies here. Take a ride down Lake Street and see all the Jack Shacks on that rode that have many cars in the lot. Also read some of the posts in these forums, it ranges from guys going to these places and coughing up $500 plus for nothing to some fools going to the same massage place multiple times in hopes that things will get more interesting. The question you have to ask yourself is with the looks of the girl in the ad, why in the hell would she be working for $100/hr 2 for 1, which is about SWer pricing. Again, as I said up top, many a fool have gone hoping it to be true.[/QUOTE]
Blackjacks Update - January 2010
Good afternoon! This report is for a visit last month which I have been meaning to post. Note: I had not been to Blackjacks since the remodel (I'm guessing my last visit was in 2004 when they featured air dances.)
Went to Blackjacks on a Friday morning, right when they were opening up shop (approx. 11:30am). Was greeted by a friendly fellow whom I took to be a manager (he drives a nice Jaguar). No cover at this time of day, but I was hungry and figured why not have a meal, watch some pretty girls, and see where it goes.
The only patron in the place, I ordered a cheeseburger/fries/pop. Sort of generic stuff. I think all the strip clubs that offer food order their ingredients and supplies from Sysco. A couple of regulars started to amble in. The DJ introduced the girls at about noon. They all came on stage and then walked out into the seating area. A chocolate lover, I'm usually on the lookout for the ebony ladies, though Latinas are near the top of my list as well. Out of about 15 or so women, there was one ebony dancer. I tried to make eye contact with her and failed. Another dancer came to my table, but I kindly let her know that I wasn't interested. Seeing my ebony target once again (she had slipped into a back room for a time) and being in a time crunch (I had some errands to run in the afternoon), I got out of my seat and approached her for some private dances. She was young, about 20-21, toned body, gorgeous breasts, very pretty. I found out her name was LeLa (not sure on the spelling).
She explained that dances were $30/song(!), but were topless (except the dreaded pasties) and were full contact. I had a budget of about $80, so I figured I'd take one (or two) for the team. After all, what was the point of my being at Blackjacks if not to experience what they offered and report it to my fellow mongers.
The booths in back are very private, and since I had just met LeLa, I wanted to talk to her briefly/get to know her before we got down to business. I suppose the sociologist in me has a desire to know more about dancers' history/background before we engage in some intimate activity. After chatting for a song or two (learned she's from Milwaukee originally and now lives in the area), LeLa was encouraging us to get started; a manager-type (not the Jaguar-driving fellow) walked back to check on us, and she then proceeded with her lap dances, which she did with enthusiasm and which were fairly good (especially compared to what was on offer previously, but which were still overpriced). You might get a better deal on contact dances if you went to one of the clubs in Melrose Park or Stone Park, and you'd definitely get a better deal if you went to Arnie's in Harvey. (The latter is highly recommended if you are an ebony affectionado.)
Anyhoo, the dances were over and I pulled out my cash to pay up. That is when things started getting interesting. Unbeknownst to me, the time I spent talking to LeLa was being charged as well, because LeLa said that I owed $120. 00 for four songs versus $60. 00 for two! We left the booth area and went up to the front counter, where there was a cash register. She explained the situation to the manager-type who had checked on us; while I could have protested, I figured it wouldn't get me anywhere and that perhaps I should have known better (especially having been in the sport for going on 12 years). Furthermore, LeLa did keep trying to encourage us to get started, but I was enjoying the conversation and didn't catch her signals. Blackjacks has one of those wretched highway robbery ATMs with a minimum withdrawal amount (about sixty bucks, IIRC), so I extracted the necessary cash (thank God it was payday for me) and paid the man.
What can I say. Even a strip club veteran makes a rookie mistake every now and then. Lessons learned:
1) If you want to know more about the girl, ask her come to your table and talk to her in the open seating area versus going straight to the booths.
2) Ask questions, e. G., "Am I being charged even when we haven't started yet? " My previous experience, which may have gotten me in trouble, was that at many clubs there is more leeway, especially if you go to the private area in mid-song.
LeLa accompanied me back to my seat. She felt bad about what had happened, but I said not to worry about it. We agreed that if I returned to the club at a later date and danced with her, I would tell her how many dances I wanted upfront. Anyway, after some more talking, it was her turn on stage, so flush with cash, I watched her dance and tucked a couple of bucks in her G-string. She went in the back to freshen up, then came back to my table and I bid her farewell.
So highs/lows/verdict are as follows:
Highs: The club was clean and much classier than its previous iteration. It did not sound like the DJ was cutting song lengths, but then I didn't have a stopwatch out either. The food was reasonable. The women who were there were fairly pretty. The dances are full contact. Parking is more than adequate.
Lows: The dreaded pasties. Very expensive dances. Fewer black/Latino ladies to choose from if that's your taste.
Verdict: Will I go back? It's tough to say. LeLa was hot and had an engaging, sweet and attractive personality. It's close to home. I suppose it's a decent place to get food and watch women writhe about. If you did a burger and one dance during the day shift (no cover), your damage is under $40.
The chief problem is that the dances are so expensive. E. G., if you sampled four girls, you'd be out $120. 00. I think there is more value to be had in the Melrose Park clubs, which aren't too far away, or even the ones in Rockford if you live in that direction. That being said, I may visit this club every so often to see what, if anything, changes.
Stay safe!
