Welcome !
In the best interest of the Adult Entertainment Night-Club industry and its patrons I have felt it is necessary to make a few suggestions regarding Etiquette within the club. Vanessa Stacy (aka Lady Vee aka GoldCoastGirl) has first hand experience working within Adult Entertainment Night-Clubs of all types within Australia and thus would like to extend this experience to help you, the patron, have maximum enjoyment from your club experience with these hints.

Club Do's
An Adult Entertainment Night-Club (aka "Strip Club") is where you put on a high roller attitude. The reason it is sometimes call it a Gentlemen's Club is you are expected to act like a gentleman when in the club. Yes, you can just come in and drink (and play some pool or watch the big screen if either are available inside), but the Strip Club's entertainment and excellent atmosphere are provided by the dancers. The Strip Club's door charge doesn't cover the dancer's income; you share in that expense through tipping. Please take care of them.
Tip the wait staff and bartenders, a Strip Club is no place to act cheap. If someone provides a service like making change or serving you, show your gratitude with a tip.
Always be charming and on your best behavior.
While most Strip Clubs don't have a strict dress code and all are welcome, try and dress upscale or smart casual. A little hint: All dancers prefer you shave that five o'clock shadow.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you are going to standing and/or sitting at the tipping rail around the stage (or near the stage) please have some bills (never coins!!) available to tip the dancer(s) on the stage. Have them out, don't make her wait for you to pull them out! Expect to pay at least $5.00 per dancer while sitting at the rail. If you want some exclusive one-on-one attention from the dancer on stage: tip her accordingly (usually $10 for topless, $20 for nude). DO NOT TOUCH THE DANCER when sitting near the stage! If you really enjoy a particular dancer feel free to tip her extra. That is a very reasonable amount for the quality of entertainment.
Feel free to mention to your favorite dancer that you would be interested in a private/lap dance after her stage show. It is usually best to agree to meet at or near the private/lap dance area. Don't keep her waiting and don't make her have to find you, it is much easier for you to spot her.
A Strip Club is a great place to entertain out of town clients. Quite often you will be still discussing business while at the club. When a dancer visits your table it is customary to explain you are in the middle of a business discussion, hand her $5 and ask her to return shortly when it is obvious that business discussions are completed. She will understand and no feelings will get hurt.
Sometimes in some clubs across the country usually once or twice a night the flower seller will come through the club. Feel free to impress a dancer (she is still a woman and a lady) with a rose. Very few women don't enjoy flowers. Don't over-do it, she would rather have a private/lap dance with you than five dozen roses. It adds a nice touch to those couple of private/lap dances to buy the dancer a drink and a rose.
Should you tip extra after the private/lap dance?? Quite often if a guy buys a $50 private/lap dance and she does a really good job you might want to hand her another $10 (the bare minimum). It is up to you. Of course the best complement is to pruchase another private/lap dance. If you really enjoy yourself it is proper to tip a little something extra leaving the private/lap dance area. Whatever you do, don't over extend yourself. This means when she says would you like "ANOTHER" means you just spent another $50 or $100. "Don't write cheques your body can't cash."
If a dancer joins you it is customary to ask her if she wishes a drink (even if it is only a water). It is also customary for you to tip a reasonable amount for her time while she has conversation with you. (Dancers rely upon income from the patrons not the club. Dancers do expect to have their time valued as per any other person working!) Just remember that she could be giving someone a private/lap dance at $50 or $100 each. If you choose to monopolize her time, make it worth her while. Most of the dancers at any Strip Club will move on within fifteen minutes (approx 3-5 songs), but if you tipped her a reasonable amount for her time at the table speaking with you (and/or anyone else at the table) she'll be back or stay around for longer.
While it is not encouraged at most Strip Clubs (just enquire with the Dancer if it is possible), a favorite thing you may do is "Buy the Dancer out of Rotation". This means she is able to skip her next stage set (and/or subsequent table/stage sets). This usually must be arranged with the manager on duty with enough advanced warning to move the dancers after her up one set. Some nights (and within some clubs) this service may not be available. You will still need to tip your dancer.
I hope utilizing these concepts makes your visit to Strip Clubs more enjoyable. Please have fun when inside a Strip Club. Enjoy your visit!
