Hustler VIP-- clarification
[QUOTE=Electronman;2045653]Thanks for the update on Hustler. It used to be one of my favorite clubs and it sounds like it still has some potential- except for the exorbitant VIP prices. 150 for 15 minutes plus any extra negotiation with the dancer? Unless the dancers are getting a significant cut of the 150, then this VIP access charge is way out of line with the other Detroit area strip clubs that typically charge $20 for a VIP access often with no specific time limits.[/QUOTE]Evidently the dancer keeps $100 of the $150 that the club charges for 15 minutes in the VIP. I suppose that a similar dancer / club split occurs at the longer VIP room rates ($250/ half hour). Presumably the flat fee is just for dances but keep the automatic dancer split in mind if you negotiate for any special services. For example, a $100 dancer tip during a 15 minute VIP session equates to $200 for the dancer and $50 for the club.
Silver Cricket - Dearborn
OK, I finally made it in here after hearing a lot of positive things about the place. Went in on a Wednesday afternoon about 5:00.
The good: My first impressions were positive. The parking setup is nice, and free. Walking into the club I was very impressed with the look and feel. It is small, but it looks classy, with nice finishes, comfortable seating, a nice stage right in the middle with high visibility and two girls going at a time. The music is not quite as blaring as a lot of the other clubs.
The Meh: The girls I saw were OK looking, but I wasn't interested in taking any of the ones I saw in back. On average I would give them a 6, and there were about 6 or 7 girls working that I saw. Was approached immediately by an OK looking girl before I even got my first beverage, fortunately she had to hit the stage after a short bit because I wasn't into her at all.
The bad: I'm a wine drinker usually. They offer one red. The worst Cabernet I've ever tasted in my life, and it came from a fresh bottle, didn't see the label. Couldn't even finish the glass.
I'll go back here again to see how the talent varies, mostly because I liked the look and feel of the place enough to want it to be a place I can visit regularly. I won't be drinking wine however. If management is really trying to move upscale, they really need to come up with some better wine options. I don't need a wine cellar offering but damn, get a few bottles of something decent. The swill they served was $8 a glass, I'd happily pay a bit more for something drinkable. Finding and keeping good looking dancers has got to be tough, but it's easy to have a few bottles of decent wine around.
Wednesday Afternoon at Centerfold
I had a little extra time Wednesday afternoon and was in the area so I decided to stop by Centerfold. I was glad I did. I spent some really enjoyable time with Ginger. Late 20's / early 30's redhead. Not skinny, not athletic, not big, just right. I'd say 5'7" 125... Great attitude and time. Great value for a see note. I'll be back.
