Very important: When the song changes, it's a whole new lap dance, and a whole new $20.

Gorgeous Woman: "Would you like me to keep going?"
Me: "Of course, why would I want you to stop?"

Repeat 4 or 5 more times, 1 and a half hours later:

Some dude: "Bar's closing."
Gorgeous Woman: "Okay, that'll be $200".
Cue my jaw dropping.
250-lb Bouncer: "What's the matter, you can't pay?"

Thank god for ATMs. Even if they happen to charge a $15 service fee.

Eh, it's pretty basic stuff, although all clubs here allow you to touch a girl, tipping while the girl is dancing is generally not done, and this is so obviously wrong:

You gotta keep your eye on the money when you are in these clubs. They do get expensive quick!

Last bachelor party, we actually sat down and ran numbers...and found out that a night at the Capital Grille was cheaper, and probably more satisfying, when all was said and done.

Etiquette aside, the clubs I went to had a policy of paying in cash either before or after each dance, as if the whole thing was a tip system. This meant that my strategy was to bring only enough cash to pay for X number of dances, and leave my cards at home.

The girlfriend - Apple commercials always remind me of heaven: white, not a whole lot going on, and trying to come across as better than it really is.

Starting a Tab at a nightclub is invitation to disaster.
When a dancer says she costs 3 for a lap dance, she means $30 not $3. (amount depends on club)
Know how expensive a club is including door fee and withdraw that amount in cash before hand.
No matter how much she smiles and talks to you, she is not interested and just wants money.
If you just so happen to meet a girl outside the club in real life situations... don't advertise her occupation.
All strippers are high maintenance if you decide to date one. Just remember that. Though private dances just for you in your own bedroom is a nice perk.

In Tokyo, it doesn't even need to be a lapdance. The hostess bars have girls that ask you to buy them a "drink", which turns out to be a $25 glass of cheap swill. They specialize in chatting you up so you'll keep them drinking.

I was at one of them and being incredibly antisocial (ie: not paying for the attention of some skanky Japanese chick) when a mob of obvious marines came in. They started running up a HELL of a tab and it was obvious they were in over their heads. I took one aside and told him what was going on and, after a huddle session, they told the barkeep that they wanted to settle up and leave. This drew me the ugliest stare from the mamasan.

When the check did come, it had to be a couple thousand dollars. Needless to say, these $5.50/hour, 19 year old kids weren't in a position to pay it. At that point, I got the hell out of there before things got ugly (which, by the looks of it, they were going to in a hurry).

About 5 minutes after I left, the whole mob of marines comes out followed by a pissed off owner. At that point, the owner says something inflammatory and one of the marines decks him. After that, the whole street exploded in violence as about two dozen gigantic West African paid goons with baseball bats came out of the shadows and beat those marines to a bloody pulp.

I wanted to help them, but wasn't about to get the crap kicked out of me by some humongous Ghanaian for a boneheaded move some 19 year old kid did. Instead, I just knocked on the glass of the Koban booth (police station) and brought this to the attention of the cop on duty. The dude was 18 inches from my face and all he did was draw the blinds on me.

Welcome to Tokyo.

Man, I am so not interested in going to strip clubs, for the same reason I don't gamble. However, at least with gambling, you at least have a slight chance of winning.

I've only been to one strip club ever, and I had the best prime rib I've ever eaten.

Me and a buddy went to New Orleans and on our last night there decided to jump into one of the places where they have a guy hawking at the front door. He said it was free to get in and we hopped on in. They asked if we wanted a beer and we said yes...the tab for those 2 beers? 26$

That made me laugh, made my buddy a bit pissed, but hell it was how they got to let people in for free. So my buddy being a bit pissy ends up with a girl that had BO and refused to pay. I honestly thought we were going to get the sh*t beat out of us. My buddy just threw the money on the floor and we got the hell out of there.

I had dinner at the Cheetah in Atlanta once, and it was also damn good.

Yeah, I don't care for strip clubs either. If I want to pay good money to get that pissed off and frustrated, I'll take up golf. There's a place in town where we recently took a buddy before he got married. I don't think the "No Sex in the Champagne Room" rule applies there. They seemed to be working girls first and dancers second.

Hah! Don't kid yourself, that's usually just water with a hint of alcohol on the rim of the glass, unless the girl can really hold in her liquor. Usually, but some girls will still leave the club totally drunk and fall and slam their ass so hard on the concrete they can't work the next day because they have a gigantic bump on their thighs.

Yeah, strip clubs are the worst thing you can do if you're feeling lonely or want company or whatever. If you're in a party mood, they're ok I guess, but you have to know the tricks, or preferrably know someone in the club.

I been to Japan. Tokyo. Rippongi, Akihabara. I bet those dudes were Nigerian. The place is run amok with shifty eyed Nigerians promoting/bouncing for skin-clubs. I had to cuss a few out who couldn't understand that I had no interest in paying $40 to get into a club to see flat-booty asian girls with no rhythm.

Glad you didnt catch that ass-whoopin too, amigo.

Yeah. That incident happened in the Pongi and you're probably right that they were Nigerian.

Another thing I noticed that was a bit odd. The rotisserie chicken and gyro vebdors (fantastic street food btw) went from "Afghan Kabob" trucks to "Greek Kabob" trucks within 24 hours of the 9-11 attacks. That was pretty damned impressive how quickly that happened.

It's called a preventative measure, fellas. No need to start fretting and derailing. Sexybeast got a little too specific about his personal experience at the strip club so I thought I'd make sure we're all on the same page.

Where's the etiquette guide for the strip club manager? The one that says not to play the damn music so loud that the waitresses and strippers can't even hear what you're shouting at them?

Wha? I don't know how the US clubs work but here they have a DJ (yes, paid!) that decides and coordinates with the girls which songs they'll play and how loud they'll play them and what inane comments he'll say in between girls dancing.

The manager doesn't really care if you can "talk at a comfortable level" with the girls, as long as he sees money. Music at peak time is generally about as loud or a little less than the usual dance club, and I don't think it affects income.

If you want "quiet music" at a strip club, I guess you have to arrive pretty much at opening time when there's no one xcept for the bartenders. But it's normal to "sort of" yell, I think.
