New Clubs ?

What has your experience been with recently opened clubs?
I just read a review where the reviewer stated everything about the club was good except for the dancer talent.
I've had similar experiences with newly opened clubs w.r.t. dancer quality and # of dancers.
Thoughts?

Another club completely remodeled and hired new dancers with new management. I have enjoyed some of the changes. lap dances are better. Table dances are not though so I usually buy less dances than I did in the old club. The lap dance special prices are only on announced two for ones. Beer prices are higher for the beer I like the most.

Overall
I intended to be the first TUSCLer to review this club but it was not to happen. I will tell you what I experienced.
The club is actually located in a run down motel. There was a lighted sign on the street but once in the parking lot the entrance was hard to find. Just a small sign with an arrow that you could NOT see from a car. The were only about 5 cars in the parking lot.
I walked up to the entrance. It was a metal door with a notice taped to it that read. "Be prepared to show your membership card and have your ID ready". The instructions said to ring the bell for entrance. I did and was buzzed into a lobby. I asked the door girl what kind of club this was. She said that it was a gentlemen's club and was for members only. While I was talking I noticed signs "No smoking", "2 drink minimum" and "NO TOUCHING".
She said that a membership card was $5/year. I was ready to take one for the team. $5 isn't nothing. I was curious. Then she said there is a problem. "your attire does not meet our dress code" I was wearing sweats and tennis shoes. I thanked her and said there were plenty of other clubs to go to.
My best guess is that this club is a front for prostitution. Membership, seedy motel & locked entrance. Probably won't be around very long.
Since then there have only been 10 reviews and the club still sucks.
I also took one for the team and went to Misty's Lounge downtown Columbus when it first opened up. This place did not last a year before closing down.
The second club was RoadHouse Revue. This club has not yet been opened for a year so we will see how it goes. It had an opening that was constantly being delayed. Finally it opened. It was a $15 cover charge and nude dances were $40/song. They have finally come to their senses and last time I was there it was no cover charge and $40 for 2 song set and then $10 per song after that ($50/3 songs, $60/4 songs, etc.). Since the dance prices were more reasonable I tried the dances on the second visit and had a good time. This club is across the street from the casino and it is a remodeled version of a previous strip club (Candy Store). It is also the only nude club in town so it has a chance of staying in business.
Seems like the moral of the story is that new clubs opening up in this economy do not fare well. The clubs that continue to thrive are the ones with an established customer base that they built up via advertising/promotions back when the economy was better.
Also, where a club in a large chain operation, such as Deja Vu, opens a new location, the chain often has dancers from its other nearby clubs temporarily work at the new club. Hence, the customers may not realize this, and liked "Boobette," "Cleavagia," and "Titsy," who all gave great dances upon the last trip to the club, really work at other scattered locations 50 miles away, or more. That's another good reason to wait a year, so the dancer roster has some stability.
