Why is La Pearl more highly rated than the Purple Orchid

PO is a black club. Regular strip club set up with extras. La Pearl is a ghetto club. Cheap dances, out in the open.

Cost, Cost, Cost. PO has a lot going for it. Better hours, easier to get to, better parking. But the cost structure is higher. No cost/song for bar side; $20/3min for semi-private and $30/ 3min for private. This is a lot like “regular” strip clubs. LP is a different type of club, I wouldn’t call it ghetto. Not sure of the term, maybe a lap dance club. You can find them in some cities and all of the ones I’ve been to have be black. Its hours suck, it’s 10 min from a highway and you’re parking in a residential area. But for $10 a song (used to be $5) you get a songs worth of grinding, and more. So even at $10 you get double the value, as long as you’re not shy. Double goes a long way in lap dance terms

And some of the girls at La Pearl will literally fuck you in your chair barside if you are at the far end of the bar. That ain’t happening at the PO.

Much better/cheaper liquor upstairs at OSC than either La Pearl or Purple Orchid.

Thanks everyone. That explains so much.

Dances at the Purple Orchid are 4 minutes long, not 3 minutes as you said. The manager accurately keeps the time. Cover at the PO is $5 after 7pm, free before that and all night on Sunday. Cover is always $10 at La Pearl. PO has privacy, even in the semi-private room. At La Pearl you're out there for all to see, no thanks, not to mention the sketchy neighborhood, on street parking and limited hours.

A Private area ( not a purpose designed private dance room) is available on each level for a $20 fee to the bartender. Never heard of a time limit there…..

There is no time limit. You won't need much time with them, though.
