Strip Club Reports

[QUOTE=RaleighConnect;1649525]Went to PG in cary Tuesday night. Had a nice time, few hotties. Mgmt needs to go back to math class though. There dances are 30 in the side dance section, then they had a special. Buy one get one free the DJ states. Go to pay, and the guy said that will be 40. Hmmm I guess free = 10 here. Whatever, paid the 40. Like you have a choice in the matter right! Better than 40 for 1 at TMC. So I considered it a value and left before I had any more beers that would affect my decision making ability![/QUOTE]Math has always been strip clubs weakness. Before TMC club raised the price to $40 TMC use to do the same thing on 2 for 1 dances. The DJ would say buy 1 dance get the second free and a bouquet cert. Then they would charge you 440 when you went to pay.

[QUOTE=RaleighConnect;1654762]So, funny radio add for Capital Cabriolet. Talking about tax time etc. And they state that there private dances remain the same price and they are adding $10 tableside dances, while "others" are eliminating them. Nice strategy! However, I have never been a fan of this place. Staff are not pleasant (or were not when I went there the few times) and the stage down right sucks! All that money invested in that place to make it elegant and they seriously dropped the ball on the most important thing. The Stage![/QUOTE]I agree 100% about the stage it sucks! I tip a lot less because of it! They need to tear it down and start over!

[QUOTE=Fatboy9; 1656196]Just thought I would share this with the forum.

I frequent CC pretty often, usually 2-3 times a month.

I like most of the girls there and the atmosphere is pretty good.

So I decided to go by CC last night around 10:30pm.

Walked up to the door and the "door guy" was standing there holding it open for me as usual.

I shook his hand as I walked in and asked him how he was doing.

He look at my pants and asked me if I was wearing sweatpants, saying my pants looked baggy.

I looked at him in disbelief, because I was wearing pleated khakis, with a collared shirt.

I asked him if he was serious and then he starts spouting off that it is his job to maintain the dress code for the club.

I lifted up my shirt and showed him my pants line and said they were definitely not sweatpants.

He then said I had better lose the attitude before I could go in, getting in my face doing so.

I then told him I didn't need this shit and walked out of the club, thus proceeding to go visit the MC.

I just couldn't believe the attitude of this guy, what a douche. Also the parking attendant was like "good job" or something like that as I walked out.

I don't know what this guy's problem was, but the management should really make some changes there.

What a shame.[/QUOTE]That sucks! I've heard lots of people complain about the bouncers / managers being jerks at CC. You should call / email the club about what happened. It might not help but maybe they will give you some free passes or something. You would think they would make people feel welcomed instead of pisses them off especially those that come in a few times a month. I heard they just changed GM's so I hoping customer service went up I guess it didn't.

They SC's have gotten so relax on the way they USE to run. Gents have come in trying to wear relax clothing thus lowering the class of the club and the type of customers.

SC's back in the day almost required business attire. They attracted distinguished professional gentleman that were they to spend money, not lurk for hours wasting peoples time.

I've been there numerous times with no headaches. Of course I dress very nice (Usually a business suit) I always get respected and pass right through with no problems.

Remember, dress nice, act like you got some sense and spend money. It's a business, they are there to entertain you. Compensate for it.

We've had a few conversations lately about the increase in price at the Men's Club and I have not been back since late December and probably won't make a return trip unless I get dragged there by friends because there are other options. For weeknights I think the Foxy Lady and Diamond Girls offers more diversity and girls who will give better mileage, that is if you don't mind the smoke (Foxy Lady) and lack of silicon.

On weekend nights there was the place near Red Lobster. Apparently Flashbacks on Capital is now doing Magic City Mondays and offering an alternative to the Men's Club's weekend after hours. They are offering breakfast dishes and dancers. Since they serve food I don't know if it will be full nude or not. I'm not sure if this is a change in venue or if the other after hours place will still be operating. I know that one of the dancers told me that she went last Monday and it was pretty busy. With the weather I did not have a chance to check it out last weekend. I know flashbacks is a bar / club / restaurant but I don't really know much about the clientele. The guy who was talking about it to me seemed to be indicating that flashbacks was a nicer venue (to a degree it is because the other place is pretty much an empty office) and that perhaps the clientele would look more professional and less thugish, but who knows.

Does anyone have any more details? I've never had a bad time at the after hours near Red Lobster and constantly sing its praises, although it is a bit steep to come in the door. I'm mainly curious about if this is a venue change or not. I'm guessing that if it is not then they'll be splitting the usual girls or the girls will flock to the one that get's the rep for guys who spend more.

I heard some guys talking about this at the barber shop last week. They said it was pretty hilarious, drunk guys eating pancakes and tipping strippers. There were mostly if not all black strippers. I'm pretty sure there isn't a dress code so I'm not sure what the crowd will be like. Not really my type of venue from what I heard but I still may go check it out just to see with my own eyes. I'll let you know.

Yes I went to the doll house. When it was the doll house, wearing a nice suit. Huge mistake! The girls covered there tat's with this nasty make up and it ruined my suit! Yup, wasn't easy to explain that one!

I find that if you are going to get dances. You do not want to wear anything "nice". Because these girls cake all types of crap on there bodies, from spray tan to who knows what!

Granted, the venue is a lot nicer but it's not worth the $20 that we had to pay to get in the door for a hand full of chicks walking around in swimwear. Yes I always get charged 20 at the other place, but the dances are pretty inexpensive, the VIP is a steal and sometimes if you stay late enough you get to watch a girl on girl show. Assuming we didn't get screwed and it actually is $20 I would rather go to the men's club if I wanted to eat breakfast and see some scantily clad women. I saw a post on backpage for the place near red lobster so it looks like it's a competition thing and not a transition to a new place. The funny thing was seeing a couple of of chicks who I always see raking in singles at the other place walking around empty handed so I wonder how long dancers will continue going there.

They go head to head now on Monday nights and Friday nights. The sad part of it is, they both lose as there isn't enough of client base in Raleigh for them to do that.

I haven't been to Flashbacks yet, but I know a lot of girls who decided to go their is because their tip out fee is much lower than Meerak or Velvet room.

Maybe my expectations were too high because one of the dancers told me that it was packed on the previous Monday I'm not sure. Anyways, long story short it seemed more like an ihop or waffle house near a club than a strip / lap dance place. Even with the lower tip out I wonder if the dancers will eventually flock back to the meerak on weekends because based on what I saw Friday they probably stand to make more there. If you happen to go back to any of them I'd appreciate hearing what you observe.

Dry humping is retarded and pointless, I'm not a kid nor a dog so I'll take to the real thing. It's social time for me, plus I've pulled some great dates out of the club. At least some one night stands. Ha ha.

How time changes things. I used to almost exclusively go to Pure Gold before I got married a few years ago. Long story short, one of my buddies finalized his divorce last week and rounded up a crew of people to go out and celebrate with him. He suggested we go to a strip club, but we didn't want to go to The Men's Club since I've read that it's now $40 for a dance. (Seriously?) I suggested Pure Gold, and let me tell you, that was a mistake. The place has changed its entire layout and it actually seems smaller than it was before. First bad sign should have been when I got frisked and wanded with a metal detector. I've never once had this happen at a strip club, but since we had free admission cards, I thought "what the hell." We got stuck sitting on a wall on these super uncomfortable chairs, and it was immediately obvious that there wasn't a single lady working that night that anybody in my group would have wanted to get a dance with. It actually was borderline embarrassing both for us and the ladies working. We stayed only about 45 minutes (and keep in mind that this was peak business time on a Friday night) , and then got out and went to Capital Cabaret. I must admit that we had a MUCH better time there, as none of us had ever been before. I will definitely return. But I cannot say the same for Pure Gold. Very disappointing.

I use to live in the Wilmington area and went to the PG on Market St. It seems that when the son (Jr) took over from the dad(Sr), things went down hill and have been going downhill ever since. The PG clubs are nothing but a rip off. The same can be said for Crazy Horse in Wilmington (owned by PG). Its like they have no idea what so ever on how a strip club should be run. To management, its all about how much you can suck out of the customer. Granted, all strip clubs are about making money, but not in a rip off sort of way like they do at PG.

I used to go there all the time to see a brunette named Barbie and a hot little blonde girl with bolt ons but I can't remember her name. Barbie told me she was leaving because they were not running the club very well and I have no idea where she went. I have gone back a few times and each time it appears to get a bit more rough in there and the paying to park thing just pisses me off for some reason. Especially when they have raised the dances to $40 for short songs.

Did April a. K. A. Cinnamon, turn up back at DG or maybe some other local establishment? Miss that one. Where oh where did she go. Checked the slammer, not there.
