How much was this guy paying this stripper?

[Hey_Porter]

In Vegas this past weekend for a bachelor weekend, and on Saturday night we go to Sapphire, rolling in around midnight. When we get there there is this guy at the table in front of us with this stripper sitting on his lap. Not doing anything, just sitting on his lap. Don't think much of it at the time, but we ended up being there for almost four hours, and she NEVER left him. What makes it even weirder (in my mind), is she was probably only "dancing" for him 5% of the time. The rest of the time, she's just sitting on his lap in the middle of the crowded floor. Even weirder? Top is on 100% of the time.
I'm no strip club connoisseur, and maybe this is common, so these are my questions:
Why the hell didn't he go to the VIP?
Why the hell did she keep her top on?
What the hell do you think this guy was paying?

Some times strippers will stay and converse with a guy after the dance even when it's off the clock. 4 hours on a crowded saturday night seem like a long time, but it's not unheard of to have a stripper sit next to you for 30 minutes on a slow shift just to chat.

Maybe he was a regular that she likes to take care of. The rules of stripclub etiquette are infinitely deeper than they appear on the surface.

This is the correct answer. I've found that Las Vegas strip clubs have a vastly different dynamic than elsewhere. For instance, in Los Angeles the only place this would happen is a low key place called Sams Hofbrau, and it would never be 4 hours.

So what you need to understand is that in Vegas clubs, you get everything. Girls that are locals, girls that drive in every weekend, girls that fly in for a week each month. All to work. You also get guys with no money and guys with so much money, it is digusting.

So me and my friends are nothing special. Just normal joe's pretty much. So looks/money have nothing to do with it.

What I've found is that sometimes the strippers just wanna chill. Lots of times they have made a ton of money from some dude dropping lots in the VIP room and they do not feel like working more. But the club will not let them end their shift because they want a certain number of girls there, at least providing eye candy and making it look like the club is jumping.

So sometimes these girls will just chill if they like talking to you. I've had this happen a LOT of times. Olympic Garden used to be the best place for this(no longer). Sometimes there would be girls, esp around 3am or so when things are late and just start slowing down, that would sit with me and just have a drink or two. Even chilling to the point of making out or allowing lots of fondling.

At Spearmint Rhino about 2 years ago, there was a local dancer that sat down with me and a friend. She sat on my lap and asked if I could order a beer for her. So we sat and drank for about 20 minutes or so. She asked if I wanted a dance. I said yes and did 1 $20 lap. She asked if I wanted more and I said I was through for the night. She said she was just trying to kill time until the end of her shift and demanded I give her a back rub LOL. After that, she called her very drunk friend over(another hot stripper). That one sat on my friends lap. She asked if we could order them a shot of Patron. We did. They stayed with us another hour or so. No further dances, no further drinks.

Anyway, it tends to happen in Vegas strip clubs. Less so on weekends, and it doesn't always happen.

I'd guess between $150-$200/hr unless this is a super-nice club where lap dances are $20 each in which case double it.

He'd pay close to that for just 1 hour in the VIP room so: smart play on his part.

i love the contrast between the last two posts.

Yeah, he was likely a lonely guy just looking for a girl to talk to and connect with for the night.

On a similar note, I was in Sapphire about 2 weeks ago and got a lap dance from this chick who looked like a porn star. Halfway through the song, she's doing the standard ass-to-crotch grind. All of a sudden, she just stops and sits on my junk. She just sits there for at least 30 seconds, then suddenly starts back up with the dance. I thought that was a little odd, but she let me grab her [censored], so it's all good I guess.

Yea, the Sapphire girls seemed to be pretty amicable to a decent amount of grabbing/touching.

my buddy bangs strippers two at a time (but he actually dates them), this is SOP for us everytime we go over, because they know us, can take a break from working and not act like they are, and they dont have to worry about hustling us, or us trying to nail them.
