For taking out a stripper it really depends on the girl, and also sometimes to the place you're at, but they'll usually ask for a price higher than girls of equivalent or better service in agencies. That being said, that's if it's a one time deal. If you become a regular client of the girl, you might have a chance at having her for a standard industry price, but you'll have to spend more money on her in the first place by seeing her often in the club. That being said, there was a girl, who was pretty agressive at wanting to get my buisness, who offered to take her out, and her price was very good. So it really depends on the girl. In the end I never took out a stripper myself, but that's my take on my observations. Some guys here have experience in that matter, maybe they'll post in the thread.
As for SC it depends what you like. I don't do SC anymore, but when I did I liked going to Solid Gold. It's away from downtown, but not ridiculously far either. I suggest you check out the strip club section of the forum for more details and recommendations. Hope it helps
