TAMPA — Mons Venus strip club dancer Bernie Notte knows the cash a Super Bowl can bring. It flew at her like confetti during Tampa’s 2001 game. She earned $6,000 in four days.

She danced so much that her feet bled. Customers didn’t flinch at paying $100 for a $25 lap dance.

“It was crazy,” she said. “Money was everywhere.”

Notte, 43, packed up her stilettos seven months ago to wait tables at the Mons. But the lure of Super Bowl XLIII tickled her toes.

She’s headed back to the pole.

Redner will keep the Mons open around the clock all week, closing it only for housekeeping. (Now and then, someone must polish the pole.)

Longer hours require more dancers. Weeks ago, the Mons started getting calls from out-of-town women wanting work.

“We tell them to come on down, and we’ll take a look at them,” said Redner, who often drops by the club to say hello, slap a butt or get a hug or two. “If we have extras, we’ll send them to other clubs. We take the cream of the crop.”
