Strip Club Reports

Jade ITC is a good time as well. Haven't been out much in a few weeks. Last time I was out Jade was at Allure night shift Thursday night 3 weeks ago

[QUOTE=Rippa;2565873]All of these recent Club updates seem to indicate Pasco is still the place to be in the area when it comes to ITC action. Anyone seen Jade at Allure lately? Mixed, very attractive young girl, under 25, with long haired brunette / blonde and a fine, fine bubble butt. Best looking Dolly in the club. If you've seen her, you know exactly who I'm talkin' about! Don't know what her ITC game is like, but I DO know OTC is available, for a fact. Fun at your place would best be rated about a 6 out of 10, all standard moves, but doesn't rush you. Definitely worth the price of admission just to see that fine, fine rump up in the air.

Anyone still seeing Rose, 35+ MILF, tall with long brunette hair over at the Mile High Club? Get the feeling she's been in this game a long time and moves around from Club to Club. Nice, easy going gal I'd sure like to get to know better soon.[/QUOTE].

Anyone know where the bartender / waitress Jessica, little blonde girl, who was at Allure until about 6 weeks ago, where she is now?

[QUOTE=Coozie;2571781]Anyone know where the bartender / waitress Jessica, little blonde girl, who was at Allure until about 6 weeks ago, where she is now?[/QUOTE]Not sure about her name, but there was a cute blonde barmaid with some tats and piercings that used to work at Allure that I spotted at Mile High about a month ago. Another Allure barmaid, Holly, was at Mile High for the day shift and this blonde took over at 7 for the night shift. She may have been Jessica, but not sure.

Really tiny. One of the managers at Allure told me, about a month ago, that she was at Mile High that used to be Emporers but had moved to Mile High next to St Pete airport that used to be Bliss. That place is beyond dead so if she was there she wasn't there long as she wouldn't make enough money to drive from Pasco and back. Everytime I go by the old Bliss there are two cars in the parking lot. Thanks.

I am mostly a SW and BP guy, but based upon reports, decided to give the clubs in Pasco a chance during the rainy weather. (though I probably should have brought a canoe to monger in Pasco last week, LOL) It was a total waste of time and money, just like strip clubs are usually. Unless you hang out in the clubs and get to know the girls and what they will do and won't do, and build a rapport, it is a total crap shoot whether you will get what you are looking for. And I am not about to waste my life hanging in a strip club. I sampled quite a number of girls and didn't get what I was looking for in an experience. Not a problem if all you are looking for is a BJ, and don't care what the girl looks like.

I, too, have gotten disgusted with wasting hours at strip clubs, but, then again, sometimes I hit it good and it makes up for wasted time. It takes some shopping around. At the very least, you can relax in a club with an overpriced beer or cocktail. The plus part of a club is that you can scope out the merchandise before making a purchase, also it's a relatively secure environment, safe from ripoffs and LE. When I do BP girls. , close to half of them are not as pictured in their ad, and there is the possibility of a ripoff, though it hasn't happened to me. So many of the ads have similar photographic style and wording that it makes me wonder if these girls are part of a nationwide cartel or corporation. The plus with BP dates is that you get more time and privacy than in VIP at a club, and can usually do more things, like msog. With SW girls my issue is the lack of comfort doing things in a car, plus the very real LE threat, and other assorted hassles, like competing mongers. And, I have wasted a lot of time, and gas, with SW mongering. I am at the point now where I don't troll the streets any more, but if I happen to see one I like, AND have the time, I go for it. The plus side if SW dating is the price, you can pick and choose, and the relative quickness of the experience. The ideal situation is to have a stable of ladies with good digits you can call when in need. I have a few, (not nearly enough) but then sometimes I just want some variety. Mongering can be (I should say IS) an expensive, and time consuming hobby, but with sweet rewards. Enjoy and stay safe!

I'm an old guy who enjoys the young girls. Players is the place for me. Its like going into a buffett resteraunt where you have a nice choice of sweets. There are at least 5 spinners, there are girls with bigger booties, there are fairly large gals. Whatever you would like and they all like to please you while dancing and showing you what's there and in the private dances. I can't think you will be unhappy with the girls. The drinks are another matter. I have never seen such small drinks. They all have the shot of booze but the mix is a very small part of the drink. Thats ok if your purpose is to get drunk but it is sure a strong drink. You have to learn to take very tiny sips of your drink. The Girls are great the drinks not so much.

Gents, posting this on Tampa also. Are there any clubs worth going to on Sunday or weeknights? If not, are there alternatives (incalls, etc.)? Thanks!

[QUOTE=BirdDog69;2580519]Gents, posting this on Tampa also. Are there any clubs worth going to on Sunday or weeknights? If not, are there alternatives (incalls, etc.)? Thanks![/QUOTE]Start driving north on US 19 starting at ST Pete's northern border. Keep a sharp eye out and stop at every strip club you see only on the right hand side of the road. Buy a Drink and Lapdance at each place. When you get to the northern border of Pasco county where Players Club is located you will probably be crawling to and from your car, Then turn and go south on US 19 and do the same. If you reach St Pete by the time the bars close, you are either superman or you will be completely blasted and broke. Good luck and have fun.

Went there today before 7 pm and met jewel. Brown and alittle chubby, was pissed off only made 10 bucks since noon. Ordered her a drink she took off out the door. Not to return.

I went to the Grand opening of IKON gentlemans club in Pasco County. It was Friday night, and FUN. There was a lot of guys, a lot of Girls, a lot of food, a lot of drink. Since it was a grand opening they gave free food and free beer, which of course brought in a lot of guys. In case you missed it, I will tell you a little of what you missed. The part I enjoyed most (and I sure hope they do it again) was the guys all sat down and the girls would come and dance for each guy, sitting or standing for a dollar. Each dance was short. A couple of minutes, then the DJ would hollar switch and the girls would move on to the next guy and repeat. Dance for a dollar. I enjoyed it. They have worked to improve the place. It used to be Players club. Improved security, Improved music, they will be serving food soon, some new novel shot deliveries, pool table, Happy Hours, an all around effort to make the club a great place to come and relax and enjoy yourself. I have my favorite little spinner dancer, but all the girls are good and look forward to having a lot of business. With the Tourist season starting soon I'm sure they will be busy.

If you missed the fun at ICON mens club last night too bad. I was there, free food, (Beef ribbs. Good ones, Wings good ones, not the cheepos) free beer from 9 pm till about 11 or 12 (no one was watching the clock). There was dollar dances (which I love) and a costume constest. I spent a lot of time there. I tried some of the other clubs close by. Calendar girls, and. Lollypops. Sorry guys you just didn't make it. The girls were really going all out to make it a great evening. I have some favorites at all three clubs. But you should go and find your favorite. For this evening ICON genelemens club was the tops.

While out cruising 19 looking for some action (had no luck but a couple of high mileage nasties) I desided to pop into BF and have a beer for Veterans Day. The girls during the day are not normally the best but they have always been friendly to me.

Well today I was surprised as there were 4 dancers that were above average and 1 ugly LOL but she had long legs and a beautiful kitti so as long as you didn't look her in the face it was a good show.

I ran out of time but I was most interested in three. Faith, Red and Kelsey. Faith was the friendliest and came over and talked to me. She has long brown hair with Bee cups with a very pretty little box. She does have a very small mommy belly but her looks make up for it. She did tell me that her VIP's were negotiable and what happened in there was between two adults so I am sure that one will be fun (will go back when I have more time and report).

Red is a firey little red head and has a awesome little body and that devilish look. I tipped her twice and she say that sweet smelling toy box on my face both times and the second grabbed my head and pushed it in so I got a taste. I will repeat her as well but the winner was Kelsey. She is a very tall (most awesome set of legs and ass you have ever seen). She was just a sweetheart. I will make it my mission to get back there and check her out. She was very soft spoken and just a tad on the shy side when talking to her. She put on a little show where she was licking and taking dollar bills off of Reds box and that was super hot.

No action this day as I ran out of time but at least I know what the options are when I return.

I was driving through Hudson today and noticed a new sign: VUE Is it new ownership, rebranding? Any insights?

Not as much posting but some good advice in your area just a ltl dated. Tampa clubs are OK but I like a ltl beer when at clubs so decided to take a drive and check out your area and clubs. Went to BF and I was impressed most posts are accurate, great staff very nice looking ladies for your viewing pleasure. Drinks are reasonable, not bothered by the pass and dash for Dances every few minutes. I like to sit at the bar area and just observe and I tip the dancers on the stage as that is why they are there for tips (drop money and go back to seat). They always came over afterwards and thanked me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, after a ltl bit 1 very beautiful lady came over and sat down next to me and just talked no hassles for this and that no mention of lets go get a dance. We sat there for a very long time just talking I did buy her some drinks she asked and I was more than happy as she was nice and didn't just jump in and ask it was about 30 minutes after she sat and we talked. Yes it was slow so I wasn't blocking others, I even told her hey if you need to go and talk with the few others that were there please do and she said no the others are regulars and they have favorites plus there were 3 other dancers not busy just standing or sitting waiting for people to sit with. So I sat there but now I had someone to get up for me and tip the dancers, yes I am a lazy bar sitter. Time was up for my visit 2 to 3 hrs lost track but I told her I would like a dance before I left and she was like very happy with those words. Nice short visit in the private dance area with a beautiful lady. So thank you Pasco reporters great recommendation and I will be back to visit the BF soon.

Thank you for all the positive reviews and constructive feedback! Our ownership did change earlier this year and we have completely revamped our management team and staff. It's rewarding to know our improvements are being noticed. We hope you'll find Icon to have a fun, party atmosphere with an assortment of beautiful women.

I know they can't blow their own horn but, there is an amateur contest this Friday I will be there for sure. I understand there are about $500 in prizes. Why don't some of you guys with good looking girlfriends get them there and make a few bucks. I will be watching and voting with my tipping dollars. I am one of the Senior Mongers who Haunt this great club.

I was at Icon gentlmen's club on north highway 19, near the Pasco / Hernando county border. The place was rocking hard. Lots of dancers, lots of people and a good time had by all. There were 6 girls trying to win the prizes in the amateur stripper contest. There was a lot of people, a lot of stripping and lots of fun.

Wow I know I am not the only guy going to the strip clubs, I can't get to all of them, Com-on guys start writing some reviews. Had a great time at ICON last night. They had Shelby Doll in a great star wars act. It was enjoyed by all. Plus they had a lot of other attractions,. Thin, thick, inbetween. Tall short. Black, White. All beautiful and talented on stage and off. Also, the drink hostesses are all cute, sexy and fun loving. They will be open Christmas eve / day with a Christmas dinner on Christmas day.

[QUOTE=RedBird6969;2724857]Why do all of these ICON posts appear to simply be an ad for the place? No details are ever provided about VIP action, prices, girls names, take out availibilty, etc, etc. No offense pokher, but your reports on this specific strip club are bland and appear to just be an advertisement for the place. Who cares about a Star Wars act? Did you have any action in VIP would be news, not the stuff you included in your Ad for ICON.[/QUOTE]I am just one guy, I can't get to all the clubs in Pasco county. I also live at the north end of Hernando county. The VIP action takes place at most clubs and While I could name Suzy at ICON who will go outside of the club for motel action, that would only get Suzy or even a well described but unnamed girl fired for seeing a customer outside the club (which most clubs prohibit) or has good head action in the back room. This would alert LEO for possible Legal problems. I think most people who have gone to the clubs for any length of time learn quickly who IS and what they will do without me telling them in my comments. I try to let people know about the other things that make a club interesting, such as surroundings, services offered. Food, games etc. I look at the clubs as a place to relax and enjoy my leisure time. I will be making reviews of clubs further south soon. Also, another point, I do not like to needlessly hit on a club for not being real good. There are plenty of other folks that do that.

Not trying to bust your balls, all I'm am saying is [blue][Deleted by Admin]

Here's the thing, because you tell a person "I'm not trying to bust your balls" then immediately start busting their balls it doesn't magically make the ball busting you're doing not ball busting.

Let me try it another way. Say some guy walks up to you and says "Hey, I'm not trying to kick you in the balls" then kicks your balls up through the roof of your mouth. Does him saying, "I'm not trying to kick you in the balls" make your balls hurt less? Does it make you want to beat him down less? Does it mean that his foot, connecting with great force upon your balls is not in fact a kick in the balls?

Your actions define your behavior, not your words or intent.

Implying that a guy is a shill simply is argumentative. If you think that somebody is shilling then you use the report post button and I look into it.

Its amazing, when I get on the website without logging on I see the post by the administrator about the post made by Redbird6969. However, when I log on It disappears? Were does it go? Does it disappear for others who log on? I guess that would mean that everyone who does not log on would read the accusation, which by the way was clarified by admin who replaced the word.

Compensated with the lower reading skill level word shill and shilling. Got to really drive it home. Guess I will just stop hitting my head against a wall trying to save my honor, and let it go to the progressive thought channeling effort.

I had to take care of something in Spring Hill so I decided to look in at Icon while I was there. The place has definitely improved since it was Players, and I hope they continue to get better. One happy sight was my favorite daytime barmaid, Holly, lately of Allure and Mile High. On stage was Jasmine, a nice looking brunette with amazing tits. I tipped her but she was not particularly friendly, and did not stop by to say thanks afterward. Next up was Lucky, a very attractive blonde, followed by Destiny, a skinny dirty blond and another girl, rather large but nice looking, whose name I did not get. Later Destiny came by to talk about her boyfriend cheating on her and her wanting to get drunk. I took the obvious hint and bought her a shooter, and we talked for a while. I was happy to have any girl to talk to as there were only four dancers and about a dozen or more guys there. But Destiny was not the most attractive, with bad teeth and small but saggy tits. She did offer to "use her mouth" on a private dance for a $. 6 tip which I politely refused. She must have thought that I was not aware of the local pay scale for services rendered. Overall, Icon was okay, nice atmosphere and only one smoker at the time so the air was clean, and, of course, sexy Holly. What they need are more dancers to accommodate the crowd. I can only visit during daytime hours--maybe the evenings are better.

Stopped by on my way north on 19. I stayed a few hours got 2 good 15 min dances. None of the spinners mentioned before were working but I had a good time with Layla and Bently. I live way to far away to go regularly but will stop in again in passing.

A friend of mine says he's been going here for years he gets a 15 minute VIP for $80 and 90% of the time he leaves very satisfied. My friend said he was debating between massage parlor and stopping at Silks. He said it's been a while so I stopped at silks. He said got there at 4:15 and sat at the bar until 5 o'clock. There were two girls working and each of them spoke to their regulators the whole time. He said he paid for his diet coke and left. He said by the time he left it was too late to go elsewhere. He said he's not sure why these girls don't think it's a good idea to talk to somebody new and make some extra money. My friend said he will go around 1 or after 5 when the shift rolls over because the two girls theere today didn't give a crap.

That being said, I have been to Silks about a dozen times over the years and it has never been good. Too many other options, north or south of there, to bother with that place.

Don't get up as far as the NPR clubs too often, but did yesterday, and had a good time. Lunchtime at Brass Flamingo, and had a chat with a slim blonde named Nicki and a little heftier brunette, Holly I think.

Didn't do a PD with either because I was pressed for time, but curious if anyone has experience with either? What's the general word on this club.

Also made a stop at Bare Assets. Looks of the dancers a little better, but not much contact. Was there for an hour and just watched the dances. All of them were too busy with regulars.

Nice places to play and I may venture up that way more often, as I'm usually in the area of Oz and Atlantis.

I heard Lollipops was closed this past SUN and MON. Anyone know why? Change of ours? Uncle visit? Remodeling?

Also stopped in ICON today and there were 6-8 guys and 1 "girl" - suspect she was more in the gilf category than MILF.

Wow this evening I had some time so I decided to stop into Brass Flamingo as I normally do. I ALWAYS have great luck there. Wow was I surprised. There was 4 dancers. Only two worth looking at and both of them wouldn't even give me the time of the day so I asked the little waitress that always waits on me and she told me that I look like a cop and I was like WTF so I guess I will have to drop back and punt.

It is my understanding that a night manager moved to the Vue in Hudson and a lot of the girls followed.

I tried to set something up with Holly. She wanted me to come last night but it just didn't work out. I had already told her that today was a better day for me but she insisted. She got upset and blew my phone up when I didn't come. After she calmed down I agree to meet her today if she was okay with that. She seems like a sweet girl and is highly recommended.

I contacted her at the time I told her and said I was on my way. She tells me to meet her at the Days Inn by Ranch Road. I get there and wait and wait. Nothing. Finally she calles 30 mins later and asks if I can come scoop her up at Embassy and 19 so I told her I was on my way. I get there and wait another 30 minutes and finally send her a text asking WTF. She calls and makes an excuse that she thought I would call once I got there. So now she wants me to come pick her up in the Park Place apts. She tells me to drive to the back of the apartments. I get to the back and she calls again and tells me that she is getting her laundry together and I need to help her drop that off and the washer / dryer before we leave. Then tells me I need to take her by her friends to get her party favors. At this point I am aggravated so I waited because of the referral thinking that it would be worth it. So I am waiting another 30 minutes (by now and yes I am stupid) it is over 2 hours after we said we would meet. I am thinking that maybe it was payback for the previous day so I gave her a few more minutes and I get a text saying she is washing her face because she didn't realize that she had put makeup on (knowing we were going to take a shower at the room) so I finally left. As much as I was looking forward to it, when the apartment guy drove by on the golf cart and gave me that look and the LEO rode through and gave me that look I decided that it would be better if I just call it a day.

I decided to check back with my back up the Brass Flamingo. Almost the same girls that blew me off the day before accept 1 beautiful girl named Carly (she told me she normally works nights) and my old favorite Brittney. I decided to do the 15 min dream with her as she gives great BBBJ just no cim but loves to have your hand on the back of her head forcing her. Stop in and see Brittney if you haven't. She is very nice and will sit and talk with you like an old friend.

Didn't like kissing and wouldn't use her lips for anything else. Cost an extra 40 before she'd even run it by hand. Won't go back there. She kept saying the watch the ladies too closely and, indeed, ever couple minutes someone was there asking if every thing was alright.
