Still a very solid club. I've been visiting about once a week for the last few months, mainly because I enjoy drinking and hanging out with friends and dancers in the Champagne Room bar, and (not coincidentally) I've also developed a thing for two or three of the dancers. In general, night shift is much better for seeing hot chicks; on the other hand, day shift girls tend to work harder for the money, particularly now in this recession. Monday and Tuesday nights can be sloooow, with a significant amount of stage inactivity. Friday and Saturday nights are off the hook beginning around 9 pm. The parking lot's cover charge ($5) is ridiculous, but I usually have no trouble finding a metered space nearby (and never any problem with vandalism). Talk of unlawful extras in the CR is exaggerated, I believe, but I *can* say based on first hand experience that customerers do engage in some pretty kinky behavior, even in front of the security cameras (last month the hostess let me lean over the bar and watch the TV monitor showing some dude dressing up in drag!). Great drink selection, excellent TV screens, comfortable seating (upstairs), plus the food from 350 Grill is pricy but good (I recommend getting an appetizer - it'll cost you $7-12). Champagne Room sessions generally run $300-$375 for a half hour; negotiate well beforehand and realize that the club charges the dancer I think $65 per half, so make sure you know whether the dancer's quoted price includes the club fee or not.
