Strip Club Reports

[Dick M Good]

I went during the day a couple of months ago. It was during the weekend. There were only two girls working. Ther manager said there were more in the dressing room, but I never saw them. They wanted 10 dollars to get in. I saw both girls dancing. There dances were interactive. They were not nude. I asked the manager if they did nude. He said they did but you had to warm them up first. I took that to mean you had to buy non nude dances first. I left and have no intentions to go back.

Well, I tried out Diamonds tonight on a Saturday, and it was a so-so experience. We got there at about 10 PM, and it was $20 to park and $30 for cover.

Inside, the club was pretty empty with maybe 10 customers and 20 dancers, but the dancers were pretty much just sitting at tables, eating and hanging among themselves. I was approached for dances pretty much immediately by the one latina there, who told me she was finishing up from dayshift. She quickly offered to go into the VIP and said it entailed $250 for "everything. " I turned her down, and saw her leaving the club shortly after.

We got approached for dances a few times throughout the 2 hours we were there, and they were okay at $10 each. There was absolutely zero pushing for VIP dances, and the place didn't really pick up until 11:30, when we were getting ready to leave. Highlight of the night was a white spinner who came in at about 11:30, said she normally works dayshift, and gave some great dances with good grinding just as I was running up to my budget for the night.

The club seems to be a very different place than it was a few years ago, with most of the lapdances not being full nude (seems like its dancers choice), a lot fewer people there, and a lot less action in general.

Several of the girls encourage trying out the day shift there -- they described it as having different management, and one said they had latinas doing extras during the day shift for cheap. Another said the dayshift management is the same as who ran dayshift at Follies.

Has anyone experienced Diamonds during the day?

The only other thing of note was that there were a handful of girls who said they usually worked at Onyx, but that it was closed tonight because the main promoter's mother passed away.

Don't let them run it up?? You serious bro? It's already sky high. I honestly shake my head Every time I eat these reports you guys leave here about dropping a minimum of $300 per visit to a strip club these days. I don't see how why'all justify it. Maybe I'm just too frequent a visitor of the hobby (2 to 3 times a week) but Vivide is not in my club rotation at all because the juice definitely is not worth that squeeze of pricing you guys are reporting. You dudes are paying car notes and plane tickets out here every week for a single nut. I can't do it.

If you're going to a $10 club $300 isn't that much, especially if you get drinks. That's like 1-2 hrs of entertainment if you know what you're doing. Maybe even 3hrs on a slow day.

As a person who has gone to some of the strip clubs and dropped $5-6,000 a couple times. Let me say this. I will not pay more than $250 for VIP specials. For me its about the experience. Usually when I spend like that I am showing my friends who came into town a good time and we rotate through dances. Also, it helps when you have stacks on the table the girls come rushing you and chasing you rather you chasing the ones you want. But make no mistake its all about making memories with my friends. The price of VIP "services has gotten too high in ATL and its ridiculous.

When chicks want outrageous prices for VIP "services" simply because they see I have it. I flat out tell them in as monotone voice as possible "you aren't worth that much to me". They get mad, talk weird and try to convince me they are special but I don't budge.

Chiming in for sake of discussion & boredom, as no one I know IRL partakes & this is forum is my only outlet.

Since everyone has different budgets, schedules, desires, and tastes its always relative. My non strip club friends think SC's are a waste to spend any money on a girl for "just dances". But then there's the comparison to spending money on a first date that goes nowhere and it gets convoluted. I try to stick with one VIP + dances a month because of the cost, I agree. Its a 20 min drive & I'll never go during the $20/$20 parking cover after 8.

Still I imagine its unanimous that no one of us want rates to go up despite the SC / global economy, where these girls can just open an OF / IG and get Venmoed money for existing, or "the make it rain" guys drop $$ for the sake of being flashy. Compared to what I've seen / read in Miami, Key West, Louisville, Jacksonville, Boston, Chicago those cities have a lot less, more red tape, for a lot more $$. I've even declined using my easy free Skymiles on a short trip to Tampa which I remembered being called the best in the nation.

If V girls were to raise dances from $10 to $20, or up VIP costs 30+% I'd likely stop this hobby completely as its significantly cheaper than the SC's I like.

I hear you bro. At this point I've pretty much given up on the hobby locally when the prices are approaching the same as a flight to the source (PR / CR / DR / Col / Cuba). I just can't see why anyone would pay those prices when there are a handful of other clubs right here in the city with better cost benefit. Shit you can just hit up Eros or other high end escort services at vivide prices.

Arrived around 4:30. Parking was slammed I proceeded to the grass overflow area with at least 15 other cars (more when I departed). Slammed inside as well. Dancers to patrons the usual 2 to 1 or maybe even more. Latinas on me before moved 10 feet onto the floor. Bottom area packed and 3 AA ladies dancing on the new stage. Seems like its becoming 80/20 or maybe 70/30 Latina to AA on the weekends. I met and spoke with a tall white lady with the tats that wrap all the way up to her neck outside the men's room. She gave me her name but it escapes me. She's pretty much a fixture at Vivide and up around a 7. 5 or 8 depending if you like the tats. Asked about the absence of white women on this day. She just shrugged as said sometimes they show and sometimes not. Asked if she was making any money. No. No idea how most of the Latin women pay their tip out as there do not appear to be that many dancing.

Anyway, it was so crowded that I quickly grabbed a small AA woman. Shoehorned into a seat. Got two dances in and she said she needed more privacy to do what she wanted and be comfortable. I made her go freshen up. My FIV check wasn't the best and I was hoping she could improve it and asked her to try.

Went with a private couch upstairs for $60. The birds nest next to the stairs was locked down with a music producer and his regular. Was told I could use half that space or a semi private couch in the back corner. Went with the latter. All requests were pretty much granted but I was trying to go slow and not pop my unlimited $60 fee. Went 16 dances. About an hour. Paid her the $160 plus a $40 tip. She was pleased with this. Not going to mention the name. So it's not VIP but I need lighting and I don't like being put on a timer. Larger menu OTC if I get a room. I'm really aging out this hobby. The drive kills me so unlikely for a "6" but the skills give pause for thought.

Headed down and cleaned up looking for the next hot AA spinner. Saw Caramel and kept scanning. Might have been a couple more but it was so crowded that I could not walk the room. Knew that if I scooped one up I would fight for a seat. Just called it done. Noticed a handful of decent looking white women dancing upstairs as I exited so I will say that maybe there could have been 10%. It's pretty much Latina overload and hard to see white women that might be scattered. Departed around 6:00 - wasn't paying attention from upstairs but it seemed that VIP downstairs was steady. This club would be better fo me earlier in the week. Brian suggested a Tuesday! As always YMMV.

Not that weekends are bad, but on Thurs night I got to use catwalk VIP booth for free for as long as I needed. Could've been that the DJ knew me enough or that the Latina was one of their highest earners.

I don't have any clear explanation why V's past avg of 10-20% whites is now down to 0-5% (when I've been there). Could be their pimps doing (the ones with them), the location itself, the demographics, and or just better clubs for them. One white girl I lucked out with last fall, she was an 8. 5 to me (early 20's, all natural, brunette tattooed Betty Boop), she was hot enough to work at Pink Pony. She said she made a lot of $$ at V but even though we had OTC a couple clubs she never wanted to do VIP at V because it wasn't "clean cut" "too hood" "aggressive customers" "drug use". Which I found funny because I'm AA, she smoked green & listened to more rap & talked ghetto. She said Tattletales is safer for white girls but they require a high minimum of weekly shifts, and PP she can make a little less ITC but not having to touch, and be as selective as she wants for OTC.

Aside from getting rid of pimps or use of substances, I don't think the club will or can do to bring in more independent white girls. Especially when the Latinas are so aggressive & direct and consistent with extras.

Vivide day shift is generally gone by 7 but sometimes alot of them stay later. I've even seen dayshift from other places stop by Vivide after 5.

Recent visits seem like girls are abandoning Diamond for V. Going to pull back on visits bcuz some of my fav's are starting to get to clingy.

V is best for VIP and leave IMO. Stand firm on that VIP pricing gents. Don't let them up it on us.

Cuban invasion is nearly complete JAJAJAJA. Seems like Atl got the leftover cubans that didn't want to go to Tx.

Looking to hit up a club or two with a buddy for the first time since Covid -- we usually went to Strokers or Diamonds in the past, and enjoyed that they allowed contact and had $10 dances. Mardi Gras and Oasis occasionally, but they were mostly no-contact.

Thinking of Diamonds and or Vivide tonight on a Saturday. What's the vibe there?

Do both clubs allow touching and have $10 dances? Any other recommendations in the area for a Saturday night?

Not really interested in VIP extras.

Yah, Vivide is usually done by 8 pm. You can still have some luck if you get there at 7 pm. I was at Tattletale tonight. If you get some dances w / a girl she will push hard for VIP even on dayshift. If you just get dances and no VIP; I've found on repeat visits they won't talk to you. There is some really good talent in the evening however. I've been liking Goldrush for later evenings lately. Lot nice, friendly, AA talent there.

Why is that?

Are there better places to hit up after dinner?

The dancers start leaving Vivide around 5:00 if they can't make any money. By 7:00 it's a mass exodus of dancers. For every 3 departing you will see 1 coming in. I believe 9:00 is the official time when the management team departs and a different group takes over. The pricing goes up, the quality goes down, and it's a different customer base. This is based on multiple reviews, and conversations with dancers, customers, and employees. But I have never bothered to stick around so YMMV but the reviews have been bad.

I happened to be at Strokers Saturday as well at shift change (8:00). This is a low mileage bar with average looking women in general. There are 2-3 spinners I like so I sometimes stop by for the low mileage $5 dances (of course light touching is allowed). At 8:00 the dances go to $10 but the songs stay the same length. The mid shift girls get a little thicker. Would not say any prettier but that's subjective. I know it gets crowded late with the bigger girls and money throwers. Some have commented the mileage actually gets worse (it's not much to start with).

I will let another poster recommend clubs for night shift. I don't participate because the prices go sky high and quality of the experience tends to diminish for me. You mentioned Diamond Club. You can try it. The night reviews are mixed. If your searching the board look for posts from "Wleakr" as he will review both day and night shifts and is an expert on every club on the south and westside.

Good luck.

Don't go to Vivide past 7.
