Strip Club Reports

**SamJack42** · 10-07-23 15:11

I got to say, I think maybe many of us are looking at the Reign thing all wrong. It's clearly not a monger club, so hey, don't go there. They are looking for a different clientele, but it's not us, so let them take their shot, and ignore them. However, with Reign open, all bets are off regarding extras at Oz, and the other clubs haven't changed. I've seen a much more relaxed attitude at Oz regarding extras in the last couple of weeks, and for very sustainable costs. Maybe the girls staying at Oz are feeling they have to step up more to compete, or the rules have been relaxed.

Whatever the cause, it's definitely game on. Take advantage of the situation. Things like this never last.

In the meantime, Reign will sort out whether they can make it as a high end club with no extras, or do they go the way of Bliss, Thee Manor, or all the other clubs at that spot. Who knows? Who cares? I'm looking for something else, and I know where to find it.

Other girls are making more at a lower rate while they think upselling will only attract the whales and that hardly ever works. I mean for fuck sakes their competition is just down the street. They must have been delusional as to what they could get away with here.

First off, the door charge is $18. Secondly, their drinks are priced way too high. They are shooting for a classy strip club vibe, but it's more of a high end sports bar that happens to have dancers. Both Monday and Tuesday night were completley dead as there were maybe 7 or 8 guys there. There were probably 9 or 10 dancers, all at or slighly below Oz-caliber. The VIP room was $150 for 15 minutes and I got the impression there were no extras allowed. I am sticking to Atlantis from now on.

Not much there at all and not my taste, went on to Oz, and as soon I walked into the door got approached by several girls. Too much hassle. I sat at the bar for a bit and went back to the hotel after a while as there was not one girl of my interest.

I have this evening as well and might head back to Atlantis to see what else is there. I liked that place best.

Any other recommendation? Neither atlantis nor DD was Topless that eve. Are there any full nude bars worth going to?

Thanks.

No full nude bars over here, you might want to read up on the Tampa board. In my experience though, no (unless you're not looking for extras). The girls at the full nude clubs, at least when I've gone, didn't play at all.

People on here don't mention it enough, but give 4 Play a shot. I've always had good luck there. They might not always be the prettiest, but they do have some diamonds in the rough and almost everyone there plays.

Mondays are slow in all the clubs, it builds as the week progresses. For fully nude you will have to drive a bit. Go north to the Pasco clubs. Red Room is on SR 54 a mile East of US 19 , Bare Assets, Brass Flamingo are both on US 19. All about 20-25 miles north of Diamond Dolls. Extra's in all.

You can cross the bridge into Tampa and Scarlette's, 2001 or Mon's Venus are nude with varying degrees of interesting activities but insane GPS. The bars on Dale Mabry are pretty much tourist traps, IMHO.

It's slow season though right now, and plenty of strippers are staying at home on OF, so selection is not the best in any of the clubs but improves as you get closer to the weekend. Things have changed a lot in 15 years, and not for the better. Good luck.

The clubs "Reign" began and ended in the same week.

They have nothing there worth the door charge or drink prices.

Better off creating a high end restaurant and sports bar.

If they can't do that it puts girls in a position of choosing between the money they know and the promise of something that may not happen. Some I've texted are thinking about just looking for other clubs altogether.

And yeah, I drove by both Sunday and the Oz lot was busy, I thought they might have closed Reign on Sunday from the look of the parking lot. Owners are risking alienating dancers and customers by skimming from Oz to try and supply Reign in the hope they can attract enough high rollers to support it. Girls will choose the best money option, but if the girls I see at Oz head to Reign I will probably look elsewhere rather than wait for Oz to reload the staff, if they can.

From what I'm hearing Reign sounds more like a night club with strippers than a strip club. None of this is making me eager to jump back into clubbing at the moment.

If they can make better money, which is unlikely. Especially if the rumors of absolutely no extras are to be true (which given that Delilah and Carlos are management are probably true).

I drove by Reign around 1030/11 pm and it was dead. Oz was pretty popping though.

Ain't nobody in their right minds going to pay those prices when the same tier girls can be had 2 miles down the street. Also out of all the girls I talked to, not a single one had anything nice to say about the place.

Idk if I believe the no extra, maybe girls are just trying to keep it a lowkey until they see there's a green light to hustle. But how private are these rooms now? $300 for HH when I it's much cheaper at Oz? They are really pricing themselves out which is a shame.

Rates: $40 per song, $50 for 2 for 1, although the dancers still just get $20. Qtr hour rooms $150 , HH rooms $300 or $400 for the "big room". Balcony over the stage for $500 (for hh). Not sure if dancer take increased. $5 cover (even daytime) which comes with a drink token and alcohol is more expensive than Oz.

Huge bar, big square about 20-25 feet on all sides. The elevated bar area is at the opposite end of the room from the stage, which also seems elevated and tucked off to one side. There are some box seats to one side with a pole in front of them. I assume it costs something to sit there. The club is bright (lots of light), smoke free. Plenty of seating.

Description of the vibe ranged from "chilly to sterile to tacky". No one I talked to described it as great or awesome, but tastes vary. Packed parking lot, but felt "pretty empty inside".

One of the problems seem to be the size. It's a haul to get from the bar to the stage, so no jumping up to tip a dancer. No stage seating, just rows of chairs 20 feet away from the dancers, which coupled with the height of the stage also makes tipping uninviting.

Biggest complaint seems to be the dancers. Some of the hotter Oz girls from day and night shift were there, lots weren't, even on Friday when they had 50 girls. Lots of newbs who were "less than expected and older than expected", but again, tastes vary. Quite a few with limited English. Rumor is it will be a strictly enforced no extras policy, but some of the dancers who went there are known players, so we'll see how that goes. They expect this to be less daytime club, more nighttime club.

In a month it won't be new, dancers will have figured out if their regular customers will follow them with 35% higher prices, or not, or whether they can find new customers at the elevated costs. Everything will find it's level. After the snow birds and the dancers who follow them leave next spring they will find out if they have a sustainable business model. Maybe I'll visit there next summer.

I happened to be there Friday night for the Grand Opening Invitation Only event. My honest opinion is the club is very nicely decorated, this could be a Dance Club Single's Bar and would a place to meeting classy women looking to date classy men. Opening night was more like a circus with a robot man named Reign and his little robot girlfriend with tentacle hair. Some bartender in the corner was blowing flaming vodka across the room, horns blew every 15 minutes when a VIP bottle was sold. Complete circus.

However, this club is owned by the same Owner as Oz and he is bringing all the same business management to Reign. Reign is run like a Corporation, a lot of the girls I spoken with do not like the Oz management style, strict rules and money policies. Girls were recruited from other clubs, who were bartenders and servers, but didn't want to deal with the drama of being a dancer in a nude club they worked in. Just like in Oz, Reign is full of security cameras just like Oz, and the prices were the highest with 15 minute VIP going for $150.

Too many of the dancers were old pros with the fake boobs and butt look, certainly not the best looking dancers in the Tampa Bay Area that you would be hoping for. If the eye candy doesn't just the premium prices, the club will be empty. Premium prices, circus and no extras, forget about it.
