Ho hum.
The Win, Place and Show bar is closed. Moved all operations to Showgirls. The adult store between the two has long been closed. The good news is, the cover is now just $5.00 and no need for the ad from the local entertainment rag. The best news is, the bar and liquor license has also moved to Showgirls. So now, drinks are served. Unfortunately, no nudity. :-( Pasties and panties are a requirement now. Drink prices are reasonable. $4.50 for a beer, $10.00 for a mixed drink. The bartender was very cute, in fact she was as good looking as any dancer and had the nicest flat tummy!
In the club, it’s dark, purple and black decor. Low lighting and loud music. I could barely hear what the girls were saying when we chatted. This is an age old problem at Showgirls. Needs to be fixed. But, no one seems interested in fixing things at Showgirls. I seriously doubt the decor has changed in 20 years.
I came in around 9:00 on Wednesday evening. I was the third customer. Even though the sign on the door says they open at noon, the DJ was “training” some new dancers and the first girl I talked to said that all the girls there, but her, were new. Can’t really vouch for that, but lots of girls were videoing each other. This, despite a sign that clearly said no cell phones and no cameras. Go figure. Sage, the first girl I spoke to was pleasant enough. She told me Lap dances started at $30/song in the half open booths along the south wall of the room. The DJ has a good view of what goes on there. However, I have gotten lots of extras in those booths over the years. So, YMMV. Sage implied extras were available with her, for “a good tip.” While her dance was adequate for $30, it was not inspiring. Limited titty touching and she did shift my stick once. But, nothing more.
After declining more dances, we went our separate ways. The next girl who came up was a similarly young AA spinner, like Sage. Better conversationalist, not as good at selling. She finally offered a LD for $30.I was not terribly interested, told her I wanted to watch the show. Well, Sage and another girl took the stage. The other girl was a thick, really thick, AA dancer. That said, she had excellent pole skills. I tipped her a couple of times as no one else (of the now four patrons) was tipping at all. She danced through six songs and gave a couple of nipple flashes even after I tipped. Thought this was supposed to be a “strip” club. Not so much.
There were two white girls. One had a guy she was chatting up. But, she never got him to go for any dances. All he did was buy her one $10.00 mixed drink. He left before I did, and she didn’t come over at all. She just stayed at the table where she had been chatting up the guy who left. Another white spinner was practicing her pole moves on the auxiliary stage. Not sure why she didn’t rotate to the main stage. The DJ, though, was not calling girls to the stage. Finally there was one AA, or mixed girl wearing awesomely tight tights and a fetching white crop top. Nothing that would look totally out of place at the mall, but she wore the ensemble very well. She never went on stage, or talked to any of the few customers in the place.
I spent less than $55, all told and came away unimpressed.
