New to the hobby and the area and I was wondering if tipping was typical? And how much is appropriate?

There is not a set amount, but I would also say that your return visit to see us is the best tip!
If you need more info, the newbie board has tons of resources about the topic.

There is quite a bit to do around here, and I'm sure you'll have fun. Tipping is completely your call- whether or not to do it and how much. Another idea is to maybe take her a small gift. Gift cards, candles, etc are nice. Ladies especially love it if you bring something you surmise they might like from something they've written on their websites.  

Original Hooters in Clearwater awesome.  

I will pick up a very nice bottle of wine and on the bottle I will tape many lotto scratch off tickets.  This is fun for both parties and once I had a lady scratch off a ticket that was an instant $2500 winner!   The provider was beside herself
 And does anyone want to guess where I spent the next two hours.  Thought I was going to have to crawl out because I had no strength to stand.  Jut an idea.

I'd agree with the other ladies. It's totally up to you. I've had gentlemen do this if they or I go over our time together. It's always a surprise when it does happen because I'd say it's not the norm.

It's never expected.  I think it is usually more common to tip cash when dealing with an agency lady as they do turn over a large chunk of the donation to the agency.  

Our donations are our donations and that is pretty much it.

Alright, there are some interesting hypotheticals in this thread...What if a lady is going to visit me at my hotel?  Can I give her an orchid or something nice when she arrives at my room, and takes the roses/plant away when she leaves?

I prefer you don't give me flowers as they will bring attention
to me as I am walking out the door. And I don't want that kind
of eyeballs on me as I prefer to just slip out the door and into my  
car.
