Follies Day Shift at Vivide.

:( RIP platinum. Looks like Vivide might become the place to go once everyone is forced to start moving over there

It was crazy for Platinum to be operating w/o a liquor license

I still believe this may have come about b/c of what happened at the spa nearby and thus this club w/ it's big customer base getting on the radar/in-the-eyes of the powers-to-be while the spa incident was being investigated - who knows how long Platinum had been operating under-the-radar w/o a liquor license till the spa-incident no longer made them out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

I hope Vivide becomes the main event. All the good talent from Platinum is at Diamond and I will confirm with what most have noticed the place is a sh*t hole. The layout at Vivide is “different” but it’s a lot of space for fun to be had.

Vivide should try to put up furniture (hightop tables, etc) more conducive to a strip-club vs a night-club - and then put it away Fridays and Saturdays for when the nightclub is operational - it's a bit of work but would make it feel more like a strip-club

Got to get the spinners in there eraly

They didn’t have a license because the owner of the property & license died. Now ownership of the estate is in court and ppl are fighting about it while the license is in limbo.

^ interesting

I heard it from a dancer but who knows if it’s true. It’s all speculation. But if Dan and Byron are setting up shop in Vvide then there might be some truth to it. All we can do is wait and see

Very interesting

This may not be accurate. Someone tried to post a review saying Club Platinum was closed for renovation and would reopen Wednesday 4/21/21. Liquor license?

I would pay $20 to go upstairs so that my $10 floor dances are not viewed by everyone. Last trip report was bad. I still haven't posted.

@shadowcat I would trust the dancer fucking the owner over the obvious club promoter that posted the review. We all know they weren’t closed for renovations.

Platinum will open Wednesday but I’ll be a little cautious and wait it out a bit. If they are having liquor license issues, then I don’t want LE to visit while I’m visiting :).

@Atlzone2 A liquor license issue isn't going to impact a patron. It's not expected for you to know that. Unless you're speaking on under the table items you may be doing...lol!

I just got texted that platinum will reopen

I've seen this movie before of a club closing and at firs there being multiple reasons/rumors for the closure, then rumors that it will reopen in the near-future, and usually the club never reopens - that's what I've normally seen - does not mean the same will happen w/ Platinum since it was a huge-money-maker, but my past experience has meant the club never reopens.

Platinum is back open and operating as before

I've heard several ppl call Diamonds a shithole.. Is it really that much worse than Platinum? sure the bathroom is bad but both have cracking and ripped up seating.

I'd rate both of them about the same.

Met too. At least the bathroom attendant at Diamonds isn't a troll

After Follies closed most of the Cuban dancers moved over to Platinum and when it shut down they moved to Diamond but only a couple have showed up at Vivide. I have heard the reason for this is because the Cubans use Uber for transportation and it costs a lot more to get to Vivide.

Do the Cubans not have cars or do they not have licenses to drive?

I can remember seeing a van drop them off at Follies about 6 at a time.
