Opening a new club

After several years, Christie’s Cabaret has reopened in Phoenix. The club has failed in its last 2 attempts. This location has never been successful as an upscale club in a bad location. Go read the reviews for background/history.
They spent $3.5 Million on the most recent renovation. It is now one of the largest, and most spectacular, clubs in existence.
The only problem is they can’t attract dancers since there are few customers. And, the customers won’t go there because there are only 2-4 dancers in a club the size of a 747 airplane hangar.
Does anyone have thoughts on how to jump start a new club without dancers or customers ?

Alternatively, find and hire dancers that worked at Hi Liter 4 - 5 years ago and then turn a blind eye on the VIP. Where ya at Butterfly?
They put the VIP area out in the open ( albeit on the upper floor ). This seems like a really bad design decision to me and one that is not easily changed.
^ @mark that's so bad. That club has an upstairs area that's perfect for VIPs. And in the past there was even a ground floor area that had a translucent glass partition wall that was somewhat private too. To me the main floor is for cheap topless dances and those other areas are places they could easily 'blind-eye'.
IDK enough about what goes on behind the scenes which makes some clubs have a lot of dancers, and other o/w seemingly nice clubs not be able to get many - of course custy-#s/$$$-potential one would assume is the biggest variable for dancers picking a club, but it seems some clubs/management are kinda anal which seems to make dancers not wanna dance there, or the club takes too-much from them.
Anyway, I'd think a happy hour Mon - Fri that's 5 - 10 PM, coupled with 3 for 2 dance specials throughout the night might help with clientele.
^ Something as simple as moveable curtains hanging around the balcony would help with the privacy and entice customers downstairs to wonder what kind of magic happens in the VIP. As she's taken up there, the stripper closes the curtains and all you see from downstairs is her silhouette. And then to round out the privacy the lighting could be dimmed and the podium attendant just makes token glances in the area and ignores what he sees unless it's blatantly obvious.
