I'm in Orlando on business later this week. It looks like there's nothing worthwhile there, but I could probably swing a quick detour to Tampa. For reasons of discretion, I only go to clubs when on travel. Have been to MBOT, Hawaii Theater, Club Risque, Delilah's, Seamless and a others not as memorable.
Mons -- looks appealing, but wondering if there's too much risk of a pre-election bust. Also concerned about lack of parking.
Scarletts -- also looks appealing. (But, since I'm flying to FL, I won't be armed. Is neighborhood reasonably safe?)
Other good options for a quick late afternoon/early evening trip?


You're correct there is NOTHING worth going to in Orlando. There's also basically nothing anymore in Daytona and on the east coast which is actually closer than Tampa.
People cry about the parking at Mons, but it's only really bad on Friday and Saturday nights and it's a crowded area with some security.
When Mons got busted I'm pretty sure girls went to jail, not customers.
Scarlett's(Ybor strip) is in an industrial area but they have their own parking which is monitored at night and the area is basically safe.
Those are basically the two most interesting clubs in Tampa if you wont be around long. From what I've heard we have nothing like MBOT, Hawaii Theater or Delilah's in Tampa. Enjoy your trip.
