Maybe your answer is in your post.
Late in your post you say "even the cheapest guy had money for 1 dance" - maybe you give off the wrong vibe. Loosen up, have fun, smile and relax!! And I've NEVER had a problem in Atlantis. ESPECIALLY with the Cubans!!
[QUOTE=Csdnoob;4414902]So with my friends visiting Tampa we decided to hit the strip clubs of tampa.
This was something on my list but I always avoided because Tampa is mostly disappointing (when you are from texas).
-story in short: girls in tampa strips clubs don't know how to work in this industry / also ban mobile for girls inside strip clubs).
Well Saturday night 11 pm we began (1 k in cash for each one of us LOL).
OZ.
This was our first stop. Quite a drive but alcohol was served.
First impression was not good as it was indeed very small. Later I found that all of them are small (hey don't blame me I am from texas yee haa).
#girls= definitely hot and well maintained # non nude #.
Over crowded for a small place.
About 25 girls with barely any place to sit or even stand unless you want to stand on the way of waitress walking.
Ordered drinks at the bar after a decent amount of wait time but needed the buzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Frankly place was not happening. Most people were just standing and looking at the main stage dance. Barely anyone tipping. Felt bad and needed to do something so went forward tipped the main stage dancer with 7-8 dollars and told her to come see later. Told here where I would be. Well she never came.
Second drink still not happening so went to a hot girl dancing at the podium, tipped her and started little conversation. She asked if I wanted a dance and I said yes but I am new here so tell how things work here. She said # $35 for 1 lap dance in the back # this caught me off guard as this seems high for tampa with non nude club. But said yes why not as needed the night to begin. She said she is up for the dance on the main stage and she will catch me up afterwards. I told her where I will be but she never came LOL.
Most girls were either standing in groups on mobile / or stuck with one man (alpha dude I guess).
Why did they become stripper.
Looks like no one wanted my money LOL so we left disappointed.
Second stop: ATLANTIS (because google maps said its near -- no judging).
Felt like ghetto.
7-8 girls only. Most girls were below average. Only one hottie stuck with one dude (another alpha?
Again no one tipping the girl dancing on stage. Went ahead gave her 10 average looking girl and told to meet me when she is done. She never did. (why did they become stripper).
No other girl was hot enough to give attention to. Did find a decent looking cuban with minimal english. #30 for lap dance in the private area # said yes why not as tampa sucks.
Not a good dance, did allow roaming but was pushing to private room all the time saying we can have all the fun you want.
Left after 1 dance and 2 drinks. The stripper told me to visit diamonds dolls.
Third stop: DIAMOND DOLLS.
Again small club. About 20 dancers only. Lots of people so no place to sit (barely any place to stand.).
I would say hot girls overall.
Girls were dancing on stage and small cages. Girls had weird attitude. They behaved nicely when I tipped them in cages or on main stage. I was tipping about $10 each time. Told about 5 of them to see me later. Told them where I would standing as there is no place to sit. Only 1 came but she was not interested in giving lapdances rather she wanted me to buy drinks. I don't mind but the bar was crowded to take order and she ran to some one who had place to sit. I observed she was drinking there.
Well 3 drinks and lots of tipping later I realized that no girl actually liked giving lap dances as no one was going to lap dance area.
Why did they become stripper. Did find another cuban who quoted # $30 # and said yeah give me 2 and let the night begin. Very bad lapdance, did allow roaming but really she wasnt into it. The dance area was completely empty.
Left disappointed. Did spend over 200 just in drinks and tips the dancers on stage.
4th stop: MONS VENUS.
Disappointed so much went to mons venus at around 3 am Sunday.
Small, hot girls, full nude.
About 30 dancers. Everything open, no private lapdances. 1 stage.
Worst part: stage was surrounded by people with no place to sit or stand. No one was tipping and I couldn't find a way in to tip. I am not a boorish barging guy.
2-3 girls danced together, others roamed around asking if anyone wanted dances.
Prices on the board # $25- $35 per dance # that sucks I don't know how to negotiate.
Was approached by a thin little cuban. She said $60 for 2 and I said yeah let the night begin. Good dance with lots of roaming. Dances are in open (like vegas style).
After this is saw one very hot asian looking girl dancing on stage. Went forward to tip but people wouldn't even give way. (now I am wondering maybe tipping is not allowed LOL).
That girl disappeared and I was approached by very short white girl. Pretty. These girls don't know how to get money out of men. She asked directly if I wanted a dance. I was little annoyed with no skills in pampering but said yeah. Since it was crowed and I decided to go for 4 dance for 100. Decent dance until she says she likes her butts and boobs squeezed, then it was a good dance LOL.
After she left I sat there for 10 minutes, now not wanting any dance but needed little strip clubs experience. Texted my friends, we should we early as this wasnt really happening.
Again I saw the asian looking hottie. Sitting alone like an idiot. (why did you become a stripper). So like another idiot I approached her and made small talk. Told her to sit on my laps for some time, she obliged. Decided another 4 for 100 lapdance and her eyes were lit up. Now I think spending $100 is a big deal in tampa strip clubs. Good dancer. Totally enjoyed. Told her I will visit again and see her again. I might on a slight off night like Thursday. This would have been good if they had alcohol. But blah (don't tell me Styrofoam cup story).
THEE DOLLHOUSE.
Sunday evening dropped off my friends at airport. Still had some cash left to went to thee dollhouse at around 9 pm. Place was dead with 3 strippers (2 on phones 1 with another ALPHAAAAAA).
Order 1 drink and asked the bartender if this was going to improve, she said yes about 10 things will improve.
Couple of strippers walked in. Straight to changing room.
Hot girls.
1 girl started dancing on small stage. Tipped her. She came back to me after dancing. Sat on my lap, small chit chat. She told me # 20 for lap dance in open# VIP rooms are different prices (eludes me as I don't like them). Offered her a drink. Pretty cheap. Only 10 bucks for a stripper drink LOL. Got 1 dance. Got to know about limited touching rules, push VIP for "more touching and more fun". She was indeed good and knew what she was doing. Probably the only one in the club. After her, I kept tipping more, got couple of dances from 4-5 more girls. Offered drinks to everyone but all of them denied. (found our later how the club was sued for allowing a drunk stripper to drive to death so they are strict about girls drinking. Sucks). Not many people and girl to customer ratio was 1 to 1 but so was the ratio of mobile phones. Most girls here don't know how to make money. No one really approached me by themselves excepted the ones I tipped on stage. (some missed there too) 3-4 drinks, 5-6 lapdances. Left at about 11 pm. At that time about 10 -12 girls were there.
Overall I might visit again here but not my first choice as mostly I am disappointed in tampa.
Things were awesome in texas. Mobile phones werent the best friend. Girls were always roaming and hunting to guy sitting alone. They knew even the cheapest guy had money for 1 dance and they wanted that. (babydolls teaches girls to approach guys all the time / one girl even told me that club owner didn't like girls spending time on mobiles).
Still I am looking for a good club in tampa. Will try 3-4 more clubs this week.[/QUOTE]
