For most guys, and some women, getting “extras” at the strip club is the best part of the strip club experience. It’s not something the club or strippers will do with just anybody, so if you can understand the game and how extras work, you can have an experience that not everybody gets to enjoy.
If you’re new to strip clubs, you may not know exactly how extras work or how to get them. For experienced guys, you may already know a lot of the information I’m about to explain, but you still may find something useful here that you may not have known.
Below, I’ll go through everything you need to know about extras. What they are, and how to get them without blowing a ton of cash.
What Are Extras?
Sometimes, people get confused when it comes to what extras are. Some think it’s just actual contact with the stripper, while others insist that only sex counts as a legitimate “extra”.
The truth is, an extra is anything above and beyond what’s technically allowed at the club, or even allowed by state and local laws.
For example, some states have laws where strippers must wear “bottoms” and can only be topless. Some clubs here in Vegas are topless only.
In those cases, if a stripper takes off her bottoms or shows you what’s under her panties, that’s an extra even though it’s not technically sexual contact. So, while that may seem like a mild extra, it’s actually pretty significant since the stripper is technically breaking the law.
It’s also a sign the stripper is willing to break the rules, which is generally a very good sign if you’re looking for extras or maybe even a hookup outside of the club.
Another thing to consider is what you feel is “fair” when getting an extra. If the private dance area isn’t that private, you shouldn’t expect the extras to get too wild due to the lack of privacy and the odds of getting caught.
So, depending on the strip club and the environment, you have to manage your expectations and be realistic about what’s possible.
But once again, clubs can vary. There is one club here in Vegas (I can’t give the name publicly) that has a somewhat non-private, private dance area. However, I’ve had plenty of extras at that club that involve sexual contact, and the strippers are very good at concealing it. The club manager also seems to be cool with it, as it happens relatively regularly.
Once again, you have to know the club you’re at and what’s possible. Sometimes, you won’t always know this on your first visit, especially if you don’t have experience knowing what to look for.
That’s why I always say to try to chill when you first go to a club and just observe the strippers and the customers to see how they interact. Are customers coming out of the private dance area and adjusting their clothes, pants, or something like that? If so, it probably means some extras were going on.
If customers come out looking bored and either leave or start talking to a new stripper, it may mean that the club is pretty strict with the rules, or at least that stripper is.
Bottom line: Just observe when in a new club to get a feel for what the rules are and what the vibe is. Once you start doing this, you catch on pretty quickly and can figure out a club within minutes of showing up.
Not Every Stripper Will Give Extras, Regardless of Money
This is probably the biggest misconception when it comes to extras in a strip club. And that’s people thinking that the more money you spend, the more extras you will get.
I can tell you with 100% certainty, based on experience, that the amount of money you spend will have very little impact on whether you can get extras, and especially get the extras you specifically want.
The best extras I’ve had at strip clubs were all times when I just spent a relatively modest amount of money. The times when I got carried away or drunk and spent more than I wanted to are generally nights when I walk away with nothing.
That’s not saying I had a bad time when I overspend, but when I do, it’s more of a party vibe that happens and not an increase of extras or sexual contact.
On apersonal note, one time I was at a strip club in Portland and went back into the private dance area with a stripper. She ended up giving me a HJ while I played with her. When it was over, I realized I hadn’t even given her any money yet, other than what I tipped at the stage earlier.
Another time, I was at a club here in Vegas and paid $800 for a VIP room and had an experience so boring, I left the VIP before my time was even up.
The point is, the money you spend is not really related to how extras will play out.
KEY TIPS ON SPENDING:
*Don’t spend more than your budget thinking the stripper you’re working with will give extras. That rarely works, and the stripper will likely see you as an easy target and try to milk as much money as possible from you. This means she won’t provide any extras and will just keep teasing until you run out of money.
*Don’t be fooled by strippers who promise extras if you spend more money. This is common if the club has premium private dance areas or VIP rooms. The stripper will tell you that if you get a VIP room, that’s where the extras happen.
This is almost never true.
However, there is an exception at clubs where it’s widely known they do extras, and the prices are relatively set. This is common in Tijuana (Mexico) strip clubs, where you pay for extras like it’s no big deal.
However, in most clubs that aren’t very open with extras, paying more or buying premium VIP rooms doesn’t make any difference by itself.
If a stripper is already doing extras in the regular private dance area, then moving up to the VIP may provide more privacy for her do more. But only do this if the stripper is ALREADY giving extras of some kind in the standard private dance area.

Girls Can Promise Extras, But They Don’t Have To Deliver
This is related to the tips I just mentioned above. Guys sometimes think that if a girl promises something at a strip club, the stripper has to deliver it.
However, a strip club doesn’t work like that. The stripper doesn’t have to honor anything except the private dance itself or access to the VIP room. If she tells you she will have sex if you buy a VIP room, then there’s no sex, there’s nobody you can complain to.
The management won’t care, and the girl will just go to the dressing room and wait until you leave.
Bottom line is there is that there is no recourse if you pay for something at a strip club and don’t get it, especially if it’s against the rules, like extras.
That means you really have to pick the right stripper if you want to get extras. The right stripper makes all the difference.
I discuss that here in my article on picking the right strippers for a private dance.
The key thing is you want to look for girls who are having fun and look like they’re willing to party. This may seem obvious, but a lot of guys who are newer to strip clubs don’t realize there’s a difference.
Too many guys base their picks solely on looks. They find the girl they think is the hottest, then try to get her to do extras.
But this is just random, and the hottest girl there may be the most boring.
Of course, don’t pick an ugly girl or a girl you don’t like. But if your goal is getting extras at the strip club, you have to pick girls based on how they’re acting and how they’re interacting with either you or other customers.
Strippers who aren’t drinking or having a good time will rarely suddenly get wild in the VIP room or the private dance area.
Girls who are flirting around the main floor, drinking, and laughing are the ones you need to look out for.
The serious girls who are just walking around trying to land private dances like they’re selling insurance are never going to be fun in the VIP room.
Choose wisely, and your chances of getting extras go up by a mile.
Simple Steps to Maximize Your Chance of Extras
Step 1: Choose the right club. Clubs with really strict rules or clubs that monitor the private dance area closely are usually a waste of time.
Step 2: Choose the right stripper. Look for the girl who is drinking and having fun like she’s at a nightclub. Those are the ones who give extras, sometimes without even asking. I’ve had plenty of strippers like this, and they often actually initiate the extras without me having to do anything.
Step 3: Don’t overspend to force the issue. If the girls aren’t responding or giving out extras, cut your losses and either enjoy the club for what it is, or leave and find a new club. Never spend tons of money in hopes it will translate into extras.
So, hopefully that helped you guys understand extras. It takes a bit of experience to get it right, and you’ll strike out a few times. But once you get the hang of it, you can land extras pretty regularly at almost any club where extras happen.
Just be careful, it can be addictive once you get good at it.
