Club Rouge, Portland (1,267 views)

To audition, come in any day before 5:30. During your audition, you dance on stage for two songs. You need two forms of ID but one of then can be a credit or debit card. If you're hired you can either do an open schedule, or choose three days that you'll work. If you do the latter (which many of us do), you can come in on any other day your heart desires, but you have to show up for your chosen days, otherwise they charge you back rent. The club has a bar but you can still be hired if you're under 21. You do, however, have to wear a wristband and you're restricted from walking around the club to talk to customers. You're banished to side stage where customers have to come up to you.

They usually start you on day shift, which is 11-4. It can be pretty slow, especially during this time of year, but the money isn't too bad. House fee is 25$ for day shift but if you check in before 11am, it's waived. Mid-shift/afternoon shift is 4-9, and night shift is 9-2:30 (closing). 

There are a few different lap dance areas. One is off to the side on the main area of the club. This area is for single song dances, which are 20 topless and 40 nude, though I suppose you can charge more if you want to. The club doesn't take any of your money on these dances. On the opposite side of the club, behind the bar is another dance area that is a bit more private with larger chairs. This area is for 3/100$ dances. The club takes 10$ from these. Upstairs is the VIP area. All the VIP rooms are separated by curtains and have small couches in them. Minimum price is 275$ for half an hour (club takes 25$), and 400$ for an hour (club takes 40$). They also have champagne rooms which are just above the main area of the club and have these big glass windows so the rest of the club can see what a baller y'all are. If you don't want people to know you two are ballers, there are curtains. Champagne rooms are a minimum of 800$ for a half hour, and 1000$ an hour. I can't remember how much they take from these.

Other things. It's a fully nude club. They're not exceedingly strict about touching so you have to enforce your boundaries. I don't know of any girls who do extras. 

It's in the financial district. During the day, a lot of business type men come in, along with other less wealthy members of the lonely hearts club. At night it can get pretty poppin'. Slow season is winter. Busy season is spring and summer.

Overall, I really like this club. It's so much nicer than other places on the west side of the river (golden dragon, spyce, etc). The employees are, for the most part, all really nice.
