[…] On dancing in Williston: “A lap dance is $20; of that, you keep $15,” she says. “To make $2,000 a night, you’re going to have to do a hell of a lot of lap dances.” This is something we’ve said before. […]

[…] mean, they apparently didn’t show up for the $2,000 a night gigs, so why would anyone think they’d travel all that way and pay $20 to have locals buy them […]

Wendi I wouldn’t go up there. The girl in the video sounds like so many girls I’ve heard in the dressing room lying their tails off about how much they’re making. I believe there are a lot of people hauling ass up to ND now because of all the crap CNN puts out and its not even worth it. I lived in Minot for a year, moved from there in March of this year. I can tell you that if you up there in the middle of December you will experience a REAL nuclear winter, like neg 45 degrees with wind chill. Its terrible out there. Oh and Minot also rarely has hotel rooms available, if you want to go up there look up on Craiglist people who rent out rooms from their home to travelers.

I’m really considering going out there. Has anyone worked out there recently that can give me some info. I live in Texas now but from Vegas. The story to me seems ridiculous. Now days when we find a gold mine we want to keep it a secret, not go on the news and tell everyone about it. Duh!!! I’ve been calling and calling BOTH clubs and they don’t answer the fucking phone. All hotels are sold out. I just don’t want to go all the way out there to suffer and not make some serious skrill. I’m looking to go in December for about 3 weeks. Should I???????????

Yeah, I work there. This is an exaggeration of epic proportions. Although it may have the news source, CNN attached to it, it is not reliable. They basically interviewed one stripper, who claimed this income. One dancer’s claim does not make it fact. Sorry. The truth is nowhere near that. I’m not quite sure what she had to prove by saying these things. Maybe to make oneself sound cooler.

Hmmmm. I’ve worked a lot in WY and it’s not the same …BUT … there are plenty of lonely oil workers there too and we ( unfortunately ) can’t count on making really really really really great money all the time. It’s hit and miss.
I have heard good things about North Dakota …. but I think this is B.S.

San Fran is impossible for traveling girls, trust me (as someone who lives and works here). All the clubs want a 6 month contract, and you need a local address & telephone #. Deja Vu pretty much ruined it here. PLUS, there’s very very little money in the clubs, and house fees are insane. Stay away, unless you just want an awesome vacation.

I call shenanigans. 2K a night? Consistently? No way. And what stripper goes on camera and says “all you women who need money, come here”? Every dancer I’ve ever known would not encourage other girls to come in and take club money. Just saying.
