By book

The Desperado Club in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl

A dagger tattoo on Carl's neck and a gold splotch on Donut's back from the Asshole's Boxes (ch. 19), three drink tickets from another (ch. 30), and a note that it forfeits a Vanquisher pass. Mordecai: 'Off limits. You'll learn about the third floors soon enough' (ch. 35).

The Desperado Club in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Entered at last (ch. 15): a public first room, a crocodilian on the members' door, privacy bubbles, bots, nine doors — Bitches, Penis Parade, Jobs, the Silk Road, Restrooms, the unlit Guild-O-Rama, Casino and Hunting Grounds, and an unmarked back room — and the same room from every entrance on the floor. Quint's pharmacy; Pustule's booth (ch. 16); a 100,000-gold comp chip for a casino not yet open (ch. 13). Its back room is the only shelter from the blast and Katia has no pass (ch. 24).
