For a lot of guys, the strip club is all about the private dances or VIP experience. That makes sense, as the contact rules and chances for extras are definitely higher once you get a private dance.
But a lot of guys don’t understand that at many clubs, you can have a lot of contact even while just at the stage (as long as you’re tipping). It’s also a great way to find a stripper who will give extras during a private dance. Of course, this doesn’t work at all clubs, and each stripper will have different levels of contact she’s cool with.
But below, I’ll go over how to test the waters so you can make your strip club visit even better without spending more money.
My Personal Experience
There have been countless times I’ve been at a strip club, and my experience at the stage was so fun that I forgot about going to a private dance. So this is something that definitely works, and it’s a totally different experience than just sitting at the bar and waiting for a stripper to approach you.
As a bonus, when you use this technique before anyone at the club does, it usually “sets it off” and you end up becoming the guy that got the strip club jumping. I’ve even had strippers thank me because afterward, the stages have more energy.
There have been several times in Vegas where I was at a club, the stages were pretty quiet, with barely any tipping. But once I approached the stage, tipped, and started testing how much contact was allowed, suddenly the whole vibe of the club shifted.
Yes, this can happen, and it’s pretty cool when it goes down. I’m not really the “baller” type (although I do spend money). But this is a baller move, even if you’re not one 🙂

How It Works
We’ve all been at clubs where the girl is dancing on stage, but no customers are sitting at the stage, and the girl looks totally bored.
If you see a girl you like doing this, grab a stack of singles and walk up to the stage. One key thing is to stay standing. If you stand while tipping, it sort of forces the dancer to be more interactive.
When she’s near you, and you’re tipping, grab a handful of singles, like maybe 5 or more, and rub it on the stripper while you’re grabbing a little bit. Nothing harsh, just sort of rubbing over her body for a moment and letting the money just be in between.
From that point, see how she reacts. If she just brushes it off and moves on, it won’t work with that girl.
But some strippers really light up when this happens. If things are cool so far, try to go for more contact, but don’t get overly aggressive. Just make it seem like fun. Take some time to stand back and watch after each tip.
In between, tip regularly just on the stage with no contact, so you don’t seem overly aggressive.
Trust me, other strippers and even customers will take notice if the girl you’re tipping is responding positively. The trick is to stand up and not be afraid of making contact to test the waters.
The key here is to have a little bit of swagger. You want to walk to the stage and stand there without seeming weird or challenging. If you’re not really a regular at strip clubs, this may take once or twice to get right. But once you nail it, you’ll understand.
A Great Way To Find a Stripper For Extras
Another bonus with this technique is that if you find a girl who allows a lot of contact while you’re just playfully tipping singles at the stage, there’s a good chance her private dances will allow a lot of contact, and possibly extras.
On the other hand, if the girls aren’t receptive to this kind of thing on the stage, don’t expect them to suddenly get wild in the VIP or private dance area.
This makes it a great way to test the waters and see which girls you want to get a private dance with.
The biggest mistake guys make at strip clubs is picking the wrong girl for a private dance. Guys either pick the girl who hard sells them the most, or the girl they think is the hottest. But for a private dance, you want the funnest girl and the girl most likely to let loose.
The hottest girl in the club is great, but if her dances are totally mild with minimal contact, it gets old before the first dance is even over.
With most clubs here in Vegas requiring you to get at least 5 dances in advance, picking the wrong girl means you just wasted $150-$200. Worse yet, you have to sit there for the rest of the dances once you realize the dances you paid for are boring.
Using the technique I outlined above helps you find the wildest strippers and the ones willing to break the rules a little. If a stripper is cool with extra contact out on the stage with everyone watching, she’ll likely be great in the private dance or VIP area.
Next time you’re at a strip club, and the stage is looking pretty boring, give this technique a try. Just remember, the girls may not respond, and that’s fine. It just tells you that either those strippers are boring, or it’s just not that type of club.
But pretty often, the stripper will really react positively, and you’re on your way to a great night, with a much higher chance of extras if you decide on a private dance.
