First visit to the New Century Theater, with some comparisons to the former Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater
I frequented the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT) for many years, but it closed in late 2020. I decided to try the New Century Theater (NCT) at 10 pm last night because their website currently offers free entry plus a free lapdance from 7 pm to midnight, Sunday - Tuesday.
While the New Century Theater is only two blocks away from the former MBOT, its surroundings seem more scarier. Also, I was carded and frisked at NCT, which was a first. (MBOT also had bouncers at the door, but their main roles seemed to be opening doors and escorting dancers.)
The woman working the front desk took a few hellos to look up from her phone, then tried to charge me $20 for entry. After I recited the website offer twice, she waived the admission fee and gave me a ticket for a free lap dance.
The NCT interior looks nice, and its stage chairs are much more comfortable than the worn theater seats in the former MBOT. A bottle of water sells for $8 (I passed).
Each set ran three songs (fully clothed, topless, nude) and the music was mostly electronic. I heard the same song (Operator by Chris Lake) twice within the space of 10 minutes. A free suggestion for clubs and dancers: you're better off with two-song sets (topless, nude) since (a) the fully clothed set is largely a waste of time and (b) three sets of two songs will bring in more tips than two sets of three songs.
I saw six dancers onstage and about eight customers, including one couple. Unlike at MBOT, there were no long delays between dancers. (MBOT was notoriously disorganized.)
Of the six dancers, one (Princess) was nicely built, two were rail-thin and flat, and three were each 50 - 100 lb overweight.
A seventh dancer (Genevieve? Jasmine?) whom I did not see onstage was the most attractive, so I let her take me on a tour of the lap-dancing space upstairs. I exchanged the ticket for what turned out to be a 30-second lap dance during which she explicitly pitched full service (blowjob + sex) for $3,000 (!), which included a $500 room fee. I politely declined.
I never got more than lap dances at MBOT, but my understanding is that her proposed rate was roughly 5-10 times that at MBOT. Others former MBOT regulars may know better.
So while I can't recommend NCT (scary neighborhood, frisking, few attractive dancers, and mind-boggling prices) and don't plan to return, this might be a good time for the curious to try the offer of free admission and a free (if fleeting) lap dance.
Does anyone know where the former MBOT dancers are now? I miss Kayleigh Pierce, Nikki Chase, Crystal Winter, Honey Jones, Leilani Jade, and others.
