VIP and Covers

BTW: I've been quoted $165 for the VIP booths at BDD and here are some threads from when I asked about this previously.

BBD
Cover $3
Private dance area (chair forts) - no cost
VIP down stairs - $165
VIP upstairs - $600 (the rooms with doors), the little cubbies behind the bar were also $165 but that may have changed as well.
VIP behind stage - $165 as well, I think. Originally Posted by IMAPACKIN

I wonder what will happen to BDD pricing when Rick's takes over?

There's absolutely no way that a company like Rick's says now that we've bought this place, let's keep it exactly the same. They will put their mark on it to squeeze out more money.

I am sure that the cover is going to raise from the $3 it is currently and has been. Question is if you can't afford $10 for a cover charge, then you cannot afford going to a strip club!

After Rick's fully takes it over and they push getting the rooms more aggressively, you still have the option of saying no. If you don't want to pay for an area and the only free areas to get dances are in the chairs at the tables, then either that's where you're going to have to get them or you can take your business elsewhere and go to other strip clubs.

Remember though, all of Rick's clubs have yearly and lifetime VIP memberships and they probably will do it there as well. So in all honesty, depending upon how often you go to a club, that may be your best option. Then you don't have to worry about them pushing you to purchase rooms or VIP areas. Personally, I have yearly VIP memberships at multiple other clubs, and since Baby Dolls never had it, then I rarely visited.
Ricks is a publicly traded company. That means they not only have to navigate local laws and regulations, they also have to make sure they are in compliance with Federal securities laws. If they are found to have encourage prostitution in any way they are looking at a tidal wave of shareholder lawsuits.I would expect that soon after closing the deal the atmosphere of free and easy HJs comes to an end. Ever hear about any of the DFW Ricks locations on this site?

You are right. Rick's is a publicly traded company. And to be honest, my opinion on reviewing strippers, no matter what club it is they work in, is always a bad idea. But don't think for a second that extras do not go on at Rick's clubs. I got extras (HJ, BBBJ, ect.) ITC just about every time I went to Cab North (club was bought out by Bucks). However, most of my escapades from that club was take out.

I am also fairly certain that the same thing happens at Cab East, especially the way their VIP is setup. I have been there a few times and each time I was there, I left with a smile on my face. It is amazing what you can do can you get away with if give a tip to the manager to look the other way. But quite honestly, it is way too ghetto for me to go there regularly.
