my idea of an ultimate club

[bhawk]

in random order:

first and foremost, lots of good and friendly, sexy, descrete, open minded members.

dressing rooms with lockers so you can change from street clothes to play clothes. a good place to lock up valuables, keys etc.
nice big, clean hot tub(s)
three or more play rooms.... one for voyers and exhibitionists so they can see or be seen. one that has private areas. and one that is a group room for no clothing allowed and no lurkers.
restrooms with showers, just in case a shower is wanted/needed.
nice dance floor
a stage with a stripper bar for strip shows and wet t-shirt contests, etc.
nice sound system. nice big selection of all kinds of music and a really great DJ/MC
nice area for mixing your drinks. maybe even a bartender
a place for a good selection for food. the food has to be kept at safe temperatures
xxx films on big screen TVs
plenty of towels, wet wipes, and condoms conviently placed around the facility
a lounge area for visiting flirting and play
someone to cruise the place for security
a private website/forum so members can communicate and safely exchange/post pics, set up meetings, and stay in touch. a good way to inform members about upcumming events, contests, or theme nights.

these are some of the things i thought of, off the top of my head. any other ideas to make the 'ultimate club'?

When I hit the big lottery I going to open a swingers resort. It will be similar to Hedo but be stateside and open sex will be allowed/encouraged. There will be a board elected by the members that make and enforce the rules. Single me will also have to petition the board for membership. Condos will be available for rental or purchase as well as camp sites. I will have a heated pool, hot tub, sun bathing area that is NOT clothing optional. There will be selecuted areas throughout the grounds couples can get away for recreation under the stars/sun. There will be themed dances on Friday and Saturday nights in the club house. There will also be themed private/semi-private rooms in the club house for couples that are not staying overnight. The club house will be almost exactly like bhawk described with a well equiped dungeon. It will be in the south so that we can open the weekend after Easter and stay open 7 days through Halloween and be open Thursday-Saturday year round.

There will be seminars on Saturday afternoons where "experts" in different fields (ie BDSM, S/M) or respected lifestyle people like Julie will give classes and answer questions.

The problem I run into is costs. To get everything I want I would have to charge around $1000 per year membership and $150 per night for condo rental. Guess its a good thing I didn't hit the $280 mil last weekend I would be going nuts trying to figure this out by now.

What you described isn't too far off from a typical nudist resort and those prices really aren't that far off as well..... membership is probably a bit higher but if you have options for non members it could probably even out.

Actually, in opening any such venture you have a number of problems and financing the cost is just the first and most obvious one. Zoning/Licensing and desirability of available locations are probably going to be an even bigger problems.

I like the ideas expressed above in all the posts in this thread. I try to offer as much of them as I can. But I always have to compromise because of costs, and legalities (zoning, licensing, and location).

Best of luck to you,
Hope you win the lottery anyway.

@BHawk; Funny; it's as though you're exactly describing the Club we go to (no nudist resort ). It's in the Netherlands tough (check www.fun4two.nl)-sorry, but at least you'll know where to go if you ever visit . But this does make me very curious about clubs in the States. How would you describe an American swingersclub?-without bartenders and security etc... we assume club's are in somebody's house?

BHawk, Sounds like most of the places we've been to as well. Not that there's anything wrong with your ideas. I've always thought that it would be cool to have a playroom that is girls ONLY. You could set up one or even a couple 'security' cameras and show the live video in another room (for the husbands). That, and more places need more themed (sp) playrooms i.e., Forrest, Tiki, Asian, etc....

or www.acanthus.be which is where we go (mostly on Saturday which is couples only night). Fits your wish list completely. And we think the food is much better than fun4two! On the other hand fun4two has a really nice tantra temple which we really liked...

-lol- I heard Fun's food is better

Does Arcantus have a playroom like Inbeachcouple describes?-Cause that's a really good idea! facelick

If you like to grill meat yourself it is! And eat it along with a healthy dose of cigarette smoke from the adjacent dance floor

Women only? No. I too think that's a brilliant idea.

Need a partner? If I had won the lottery, I would pay for the place and make it cheep enough to stay full all the time! Money is not everything!
