Had to try this once since I was in the area near the airport with an hour or so to kill. Wow...this is a comedown from Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Mid afternoon and maybe 10 patrons and 15 girls. Most were good lookiing, but several should never even have a bathing suit on. This is topless, not pasties. But, three feet away. I sat at the bar (with one other guy) and not one girl even stopped to say hello. Several with with what looked like regulars or just fools who would spend money there. Waste of time.

I made a return to the club scene recently with a visit to BE. It was always one of my favorites during the daytime. Remember this is LA and not LV! It still is though getting a little more threadbear on the furniture. Lunchtime midday had a decent group of lurkers, but most were eating and not paying attention to the stage. Very little rail tipping still, as before. At night it is a little better. Still is one of those clubs that you have to do your research and observe before you plunge. YMMV is the rule. I have had some great times in the vip at noon.. There is still much to be had; just be patient and use your instincts on the ladies.

This was my first visit to VIP in North Hollywood and it was specifically to visit with Charlie and Kristie who are touted on a local board. It was worth the drive and I used the coupon from LA Weekly for admission. There were only four dancers on this Wednesday afternoon, but all were very attractive. Only two of us customers were there, but the girls kept rotating on stage. Spent some quality time with Charlie, a trim, perky blond with a great smile. DJ was not obnoxiously loud and one could hear oneself talk in the room. Lighting was good also. I saw nothing to complain about in the club. I really do not care if there is anyone else around; I am there for the dancers, not a party (without booze).

It had been several months since Tina and Butterfly left the club and I have not visited. Thought that I would go back and see what was new. The new booths along the wall are fine and do not interfere with the rail. I usually visit, as I did last week, on Friday afternoon. It is usually pretty laid back then and even the floaters do not check in the back room. There were a couple of ladies that I had seen before and a good mix onf cuacasian and Asian. I Found a new favorite after watching about four stage performances; Claudet. She was very warm and cuddly from the outset and there were not many restictions even in the downstairs back booths. We did several sets of two there, broken by some conversation out front, and I told her that I would be back next week for the upstairs extended session. That gives us both something to anticipate.

I tried out this club on a recent trip and was disappointed. I found the girl quality less than Deja Vu and much younger. Maybe if I were younger, I might enjoy the teeny boppers, but I do not. Even the crowd (late afternoon) was young. Looked like high school or early college crowd because no liquor is served. I did not stay very long.

Since the last time I was at 4Play, they added the VIP seating around the stage. I guess that it is ok for the $20 and helps to induce the higher rollers up to the front for the view. I do not go in the evenings, only Friday afternoons, and still like the atmosphere, the ladies, the song lenght (longest in LA)and the freedom from roving supervisors. The back room is still good if you pick the right girl and there is ample privacy in the afternoon. The upstairs VIP is generally empty and you have a choice of bed or couch. Since there is hardly anyone up there at that time, the couch is more than sufficient.

I did my 6 month visit to Silver Reign West LA this week and renewed my acquaintance with Paris and Charlene. I only go during the day shifts when it is relatively quite. Nights can be a real zoo with all of the patrons standing around the small stage. Remember, the LA nude clubs are not partytime; no alcohol! You go there for the view and the action. This is the best club for that this side of the City of Industry. Just do your research and pick wisely and you will leave a happy camper.

Tried Silver Reign Downtown again to see if it had improved. Unfortunately, it has not. Although it a physically a good club with great potential for the spacious, but private VIP, it still does not deliver the best ladies. It is a tough area to leave your car, particularly at night, although daytime is iffy as well. Smash and grab is common the neighborhood. I am a daytime guy for this place. Some of the dancers still provide a nasty experience, but it is populated mostly by those on the lower end of the scale. Also, the last time I went, there was only one dancer there and about 2 customers. I doubt that the place will survive much longer.

I had a couple of hours yesterday afternoon to kill waiting to meet a plane at LAX. Picked up the LA Weekly for a coupon and went over to BE. Have not been there in about 8 months after my fav left for other haunts. Anyway, met Jade, Savana and Asia (Cambodian/Guatemalan mix) with bolt ons, but very sexy. This is a YMMV place and you have to do your diligence to find the right partner. Take some time to talk and get comfortable, and then some melt right into you. Prices have increased since my last visit. Now $80 for the daytime VIP.

I had some time to kill nearby and stopped in around 2 pm last Friday. It was pretty lively in the pool and bar area. Not much going on the stage, but that is typical for a bikini bar. Ordered a drink and was tag teemed at the bar by a couple of bright Latinas (Brazillian). Each had a little more meat than she needed, but both were cute talkative and touchy feeley. Did not have to buy them a drink either. They wanted to work together and tried to lead me by the privates (I had shorts on due to the weather) to the VIP (there it is $20 the DJ and then $20 times 2 for each song. That gets a little pricey for bikini dances. However, they promised that one could cover for the other during our time in there and I would surely enjoy it. However, after a while of being mugged under the bar stool, I opted for one at a time on the couch in the corner of the bar. Although it is only bikini and somewhat open to view, one can squeeze back a little and it was surprisingly intimate; it seems that both tops and bottoms could be moved appropriately for play. No cover during the day and no real hustle by the dancers. All in all, not a bad way to spend a few hours and get a slight buzz on as well.

I continue to be impressed with 4Play. This is a follow up to the review of about three months ago. Since then, I have visited several times. I have never been disappointed in the contact or the mileage. I am amazed that some have not had good experience. All it takes is to keep you eyes open and get to know the ladies before you accept a dance. No drink hussle; only a one drink minimum; and the ladies are beautiful. The daytime $20 topless are great with great contact, if you choose correctly. Recent interests are Destiny, Kimberly, Mina and Butterfly.

I had short trip north of Tampa last week and flew back out late one afternoon giving me the chance to stop by on the way to the airport. I only had an hour or so and got there just as it opened. It was not real lively yet, but there were some very good looking girls in various stages of undress. I was a little diappointed with the openness of the lap area. I am more used to the more private booths in LA. Did not have enough time for a major sampling, but got a "taste" of a few things. The dance prices were good, but the admission is a little steep for daytime. Anyway, lots of eye candy and enough contact to make it interesting. I do not think I would make it a regular stop unless is served booze.

Made a couple of more visits to SR WLA again because Butterfly has moved there from 4Play nearby. She is an adorable Carribean beauty with a ton of energy. Several of the regulars were there including Ryan and Charlene. It still is too loud and too dark, but I found the light dimmer switch in the booth area and raised the view. The club was slow for a Friday afternoon, but that gave some time to cozy up on the wall couches. Daytime is still the best for mileage and the floating guard seems to be gone.

Finally got to 4Play this Friday afternoon. Only open now on Fridays during the day. Dance cost was 3 for 90 upstairs on a large couch and 120 on the bed. Did a 3fer with Toni. Hot Lady! Georgeous statuesque body and moves it well. I watched two of here satge shows before choosing. All of the others dancing were 8+. Not a lot of drink hassle; good lighting and nobody bothered us on the couch. Girls spent a fair amount of time with you before pushing for a dance. Very good mutual contact. I was impressed, but I am sure that you have to choose carefully before indulging.

Made a couple of visits to Silver Reign again over the past two weeks. Something keeps bringing me back (lol). Some new talent there, but also some of the old standbys, such as Charlene, Montana, Thalia and Lily are generally there.. Not too hard to figure out who to choose if you watch and listen closely. There is a reason why the alcoves are dark! I have never survived past any of these ladies and always go home with wobbly legs. however, due to the darkness, the loud music and the quick results, it is not a place to hang around for several hours, such as 4Play or some of the Rhinos.

I went there last week during the day. I had not tried any bikini bar in LA before. I was not disappointed. It was not at all busy at all. I bought a drink and a beautiful lady came to me and sat with me for a good 15 minutes before asking me for a lap dance. She was extremely cute with a micro white bikini which was barely covering her ass. She took me by the hand to the left corner couch and gave me several wild good contact dances. The girls were generally in the 7-8 range and the drinks were well poured. If you like the drinking aspect of clubs, it is a good place to go.

Had a quick trip to LV this week with enough time to hit a couple of clubs. First stop was Cheetahs, since I have good memories of past times. Went in on a Thursday afternoon. Fairly good crowd of girls and patrons. No drink hussle and went to the bar for a $4 Absolute. Wndered around looking at the candy and then spent some time at the rail and partook of several dancers moves off the stage and into my chair. These were just highlights of what was to be had. Spotted a cute Filipino named Ann working the guy in the chair behind me. Had to take her up on a couple of dances in the front room. She must drive a 5 speed; good wrist agility. Too many choices and not enough time or stamina.

I have visited several times, basically because I saw some posts by a dancer who seemed intriguing. I corresponded with her before I went there. She is Asian and has now left to become a Porn star. So, I went back to check ou the other action, even though it is a tough part of downtown LA; only will go during the daylight hours. Lap dances here now are $30 topless $40 nudes. A few changes though have happen since my prior visit. They now have a new long lap benches out in the open. Looks like might be bikini dances. Security was not allowing any patron to sit there, which is very close to those uncomfortable seats that are generally available. Also the long curtains that used to cover up everything for privacy when getting a lap dance I a booth, are now at half way only. The curtain covers the top part of the lap booth but not the middle or bottom part, so security and lurkers can see you getting a lap dance on a nude, if they sit all the way to the back. DJ's here no longer were playing the old $50 5 for 1's but were only playing 3 for 1's on specials only. Those appeared to be about 5 minutes each. Regular single songs were going between 2 minutes 40 seconds. The majority of the girls are Latina and the crowd is mostly Latinos. Not a lot of English spoken. Privacy is ok all the way back to the corner of the lap room, as Security was not allowing lurkers to sit all the way back by the side of the vip room, only by the middle and front side where the bar is located. For the most part that is where the girls were taking the guys for laps, But, if it gets crowded, there is no privacy and single guys will have to sit at those seats and can actually see what your doing. If you go during the day you'll have plenty of privacy, so you don't have to worry who sees your action as long as you go all the way to the back corner for some laps.

The Bare Elegance is an upscale Nude (no alcohol) club with generally outstanding talent. I go in the early afternoon and it appears to get a good lunch crowd, but I usually do not see many tipping at the rail or getting dances at that time of day. All the better, less competition for your favorite’s time. The club was recently purchased and is under new management. reportedly by the same group as the Valley Ball. There has been a turnover in dancers, but some of the favorites are there and a few new ones like Autumn who came from The Jet strip and SRI. The main stage is even darker than it used to be and the regular song length is still 3:00 minutes, but the 2-for-1 specials are now "back to back" 2-for-1's with the first set being two 90-second songs counted as 2 (with no dancer on stage) followed without a break by a real 2-for-1. It seems you can only do the second (real) 2-for-1 if you did the first (short) 2-for-1, so it is really 3-for-2 regular songs with an option to quit after the equivalent of one regular song. Laps are topless and there can be some good 2-way interaction in the VIP room. Note that the dance prices have increased from $25 to $30. Ashley returned, and Sasha is still there during the day. They are worth your time and $$ spent for a trip to the VIP. Valet parking at night appears to have gone up and is now $3.50.

Just went back during CES. Have not been there in a while. Still the same great place. Don't understand some of the other comments made on the past reviews. This place has consistently a wide variety of very friendly ladies. So what if some of the tub chairs are a little ratty. Martha Stewart is not grading the place. Duh! This is a strip club. You just have to observe a little before you choose and keep you money in your pocket and your brain in your big head until the time is right. Repeat visits should cure even the most skeptical.

I avoided OG for quite a while because it sounded like a it was wall to wall people and too much husstle. However, I ventured in on a late weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. It is great during the day and I have been back several times at about 4-5 pm. Very little supervision and surprisingly quiet couches at the back wall for almost anything. Avoid the VIP room; just not worth it at night and it is generally closed during the day. You can go broke between the drinks and the hot available girls. It is just like a candy store.

I usually go to SR WLA during the early afternoon, after the lunch bunch leaves and the dancers have arrived. This club generally has a good group of daytime girls and is crowded on weekend nights with us guys, but nobody ever seems to be making a lot of money. As has been reported, the stage is too dark to really get into the stage show: it's sometimes hard to even tell who's on the stage. One girl -- Dynasty -- does a really energetic and athletic stage show: When she flips off the pole and slams onto the stage in a full split. I recommend sticking with the girls that have been around here awhile. On a Saturday, you are likely to run into Ariel, Ardyce, Asia, Autumn, Paris, Raven, and Sasha. You might also see Baby, Brandy, Giselle, Hailey, Joy, Juno, Stephanie, Sugar, or Sunshine. With the new lap dance ordinance in LA, the mileage can be spotty, but the alcoves are dark and it is hard to tell what else is going on next to you. Sometimes dancers have held up candles in front of themselves for me to see. What good is nude in the pitch dark unless…that too. With little going on in the club, I'm almost forced to mention the men's room. It is a "one-holer" that can only accommodate one at a time. That’s tough on a busy afternoon.

Cheetahs has been my favorite for the past two years. I know it is a little seedy in places, but I liked the older, worn larger chairs from the main room. (actually, there are still a couple remaining, just left of the entrance along the wall.) The best bet is to take a seat by the stage and size up the day/evening. I have always had my best luck picking a dancer there after her set (they do a second short one near the bar after they leave the main stage, so you have to wait a little while, but you get a chance to talk first that way). Get to a corner of the main room, near the back VIP, below the one way window. With the smaller chairs that they put in last year, I now often go to the front VIP room couches. Try the right corner there. The back VIP is generally not worth it, because you have to grease the bouncer to get his inattention. Even then, you are exposed to others. It certainly gets done there, but usually only with a grind. I have seen more mutual hand action in the main room against the far wall and once had a dancer boast about her oral skills in that room.

Have always vacillated between Cheetahs and CHII. There are more 8-9's at CHII, but they are usually more businesslike than the girls at Cheetahs. Last go around it was really packed and the girls were quite good. First timers beware.... the girls are beautiful but they will try to hustle you until you have nothing left. The "Wanna dance?" girls were all over me while I was sitting stageside, but once I ran out of singles and moved to a table the dancers who approached me at least took the time to introduce themselves and ask me where I was from before asking me if I wanted a dance.. Stick too the main room , you will save yourself money and the dances are just as good. As for the drinks...my advice is pace yourself,they are way over priced and the girls know how to take advantage of you being sloppy....and them being sober. Access to the Emperors room costs. It is a quieter, and much darker, room off the main floor. When the girl leads you in you'll first stop at a desk with a Host. He'll explain the rules and pricing structure and assign you a seat. The deal is- $100 for 3 songs, or $200 per half hour charged in half hour increments. There is also a 2 drink minimum at $11 per drink. So, your minimum outlay is $122 plus tips to the Host, waitress and bouncer. The Host will direct you to a seat comensurate with the size of your tip. $50 gets you a corner couch, $20 a chair. Like I said it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. The girls are beautiful and its an upscale club, but you won't feel out of place. If you become a regular, there is always the back entrance right into the Emperor's room. But that requires a continual maintenance fee to the Host.

Do not waste your time in LV by going to this place. Tried it once thinking that it might be a find on the outskirts of town. Wrong! It is a local hangout where the girls would rather hang at tables talking to thier friends. Of course, it is topless and you will see boobies, but not of a great variety or natural firmness. There were only a few girls in the early evening with not much choice, since they did not circulate. Tried on VIP with a promising lady, but although the couches are comfortable, there is not much privacy and little mutual touching. There are too many good places in LV like Chettahs; CH2; OG; SR; Sapphire. Go to them and you will enjoy yourself a lot more.
