After the FIA gathering at Dallas last night I realised that there were certain things that I have come to take for granted over the past 4 years which may be of interest/help to anyone visiting the place for the first time (or in fact many of these apply to other clubs as well). So I thought I would compile a quick list of potential traps and things to avoid in visiting Dallas (in particular) although often these will apply to other places as well.
Entry
Dallas ... as most clubs ... has a cover charge which I think is around $10 (sorry but I cant recall ever paying it) this is not like the charges in Sydney's cross where you haggle the price with the Bouncer. However if you call into the greasy food emporium next door you will usually find that they actually have a pile of passes which will save you the cover (or reduce it). Most clubs offer some degree of free pass system it often pays to visit local shops (or even some of the adult book stores in the city) to track down passes. During the entry process it also pays to be nice to the bouncers ... this is not a strip club specific thing but after working as a bouncer I realised that the people who had been nice to us generally got thrown out much more gently than the idiots (go figure)
Lay of the Land
Arriving inside the club its easy to get distracted by the pretty half naked ladies on the podiums and stage (Dallas has 2 podiums ... one just inside the entrance and one against the far wall plus the main stage area) Identify key points: 1) The bar 2) Where you think you will sit (or stand) to get best views 3) where the toilets are.
Luckily for Dallas punters this is pretty simple bar is pretty obvious at the back wall as you get to the top of the stairs ... although this can be hard to spot if you arrive at busy times.
Standing or sitting is personal preference although I will mention that the taller tables near the far end of the bar are directly under heating/air con so you might get too much hot or cold and the girls may not spend as much time chatting to you (icy nipples exploding all over the place is bad for business )
Lastly for Dallas the toilets are set lightly different ... the Males is closer to the entry (bet you guys had never though about the fact that the blokes toilets are often the furtherest from the door) in the case of Dallas head towards the bar...follow it to the left.... avoid the temptation of heading to the obvious doorway (the bouncers will politely inform you that these are private dance booths) the actual toilets are hidden a little further to the right.
Drinks
The drink prices are about usual for clubs but there are ways to maximise your drinking dollar. Firstly Dallas currently has no price variance for premium and "cheap" spirits. So if you drink bourbon for example its the same to drink Jim Beam or Jacks as it is to drink Old Crow or cougar. Also beers are on a pricing scale where a crown only costs 50c more than a draught so drink like a king. It will still cost you an arm and leg but at least you will have a better class of hangover. If you are really a tight ass the drinks downstairs are some of the cheapest in Melbourne with pots at $1.50 and base spirits $2.50
Girls / Stage Dances
In the words of Motley Crue ...... Girls Girls Girls ... The main reason most blokes visit a strip club (specially one that doesnt have big screen tvs showing sport). The Girls at Dallas are not all the model type you would expect at somewhere like MG but they are on the average much friendlier and certainly smilier (is that even a word??)
Dallas is pretty much like most places in that the girls earn waht they make dancing ... the club does not pay them. So if you like a girl and want to spend time chatting etc either buy a dance or buy a drink ... or be aware that they may need to "check the time they are on stage" and leave you for someone with a better lubed wallet.
The girls are required to periodically dance on the stage or podiums ... this is generally just an advertising thing with the pretties in flimsies trying to look sexy while the dj plays inappropriate music. They will do shows for you on podium if you tip them ... $20 will get em naked.
The feature shows which occur every hour or so on fri and sat nights are usually "Jug Strips" which means that the girls show off their spectacular jugs. Um ....no.... actually means the girls go round with a beer jug prior to the show seeking donations ... once again this is what the girl gets paid for doing the show. If every guy in the club threw in a couple of dollars the girls would be happy ... as it is there are no end of tight pricks looking for a free show and that means if you really want the girls to notice you ... the tip needs to make either a good rattle in the jug (lots and lots of coin) or be very plasticy (ie notes). The girls do notice and appreciate people who tip well and they will often come and sit with you after the show for a while (without hassling you to buy lap dances). Last note on the shows... while they are often advertised at set times the shows can run up to 30 minutes late and sometimes change order but usually the main ones to be there for are 10.30 Super Strip and 12.30 Lesbian show.
Private dances
The girls make most their money from Private dances in one of the three private rooms. The dance you receive will generally depend a lot on the individual girl and how she related to you (no NOT a Tassie thing ... but how you have treated her etc) but the general rule is that there is absolutely no touching although the girl may initiate some degree of non genital contact ... very rare at Dallas.
Dances at Dallas should cost minimum $20 which is usually for about 5 minutes in the strangely communal private room ... If you spend more you will get a longer dance .... and the girl will be happier. There are private cubicles and a shower room near the blokes toilets which can be used if you are planning on spending $50 or $60+ for your dance (obviously I havent seen these rooms yet). There is also an area to the left of the stage which can be curtained off for larger groups (eg bucks nights, birthdays or religious youth group trips). Be warned that some of the girls will "try it on" and tell you that dance minimum is $50 ... if you werent planning on spending this tell them that you only wanted a $20 dance and that you will be shopping elsewhere (if they are prepared to rip you off on price what other rip offs are they capable of) also let some of the other girls know when you chat with them (girls who try and force their prices up are generally not popular as guys who dont know better believe this is standard and go elsewhere for cheaper service)
Anyway thats the general FAQs for Dallas Dancers ... if anyone wants to know anything else I will be happy to assist if i can.
