IMHO you still can't beat HiLiter for dayshift fun. Some of the old guard are starting to look a bit worn, but they are experienced and many have truly mastered the art of the lap dance. Extras are available in VIP if you want me, but if you just want to fondle tits and ass out in the open for $10/song, sit in the middle and go to town! Nightshift at HL can be a little rougher, but it's better than it used to be.
For pure eye candy without extras, my money goes to Bourbon Street. I have no night shift experience at Christies Tempe, but lone Wolf is a solid info source. It seems that the main Christies on 32nd St has turned into a ghost town, especially at night, but I haven't been there in a long time. Centerfolds is OK during the day, get shift and has very nice VIP rooms with sofas, but there is a $20 VIP cover. Night shift at CFs has gone downhill in my opinion, but I haven't been in several months.
For a less plush atmosphere, but almost certain HJ, Blue Moon seems to be the go to place. Bandaids is perhaps a close second in that category, with a definitely more ethnic dancer crowd. My only other advice is to read the reviews!
