Thanks. This is actually a REDUCTION from last year’s price hikes, so good for that but still high. Had fun here in past but low # and quality of girls, and lots of LM ones.

Zero actionable intel in this review!! Let me help. Dances $50 per (nude on bed, long songs usually); admission plus 2 mandatory drinks $24 daytimes probably more at night. Extras prices need to be requested & negotiated BEFORE the dances, or you’ll waste time/$ and probably kick yourself later. But yeah some hot girls, probably best lineups in OC.

Good accurate & helpful review. My only add is negotiate BEFORE going into the VIP; less likelihood of a bad outcome. And yeah that smoke machine can be so bad you can’t even see the girls huddled by the fireplace - just the glow of their cellphones!

Was one of the older dancers that blonde Toni (I think) with a nice body but craggly face & hands? She's cling-wrapped me a couple of times. Nice enough, so it feels rude to say "sorry, I'd like someone younger" but it's gotta be done.

Huh? The VIP entrance/area is in the same place it's always been. Adding the VIP rooms pre-dated my visits, which date back to maybe 2001 or 2002. They added some new carpet and changed the bar area a little over the years, but otherwise this place is pretty much frozen in time. Maybe you're thinking of another club? Synn COI formerly Exotica certainly remodeled it's whole VIP area, as did Monarch's after it replaced HT. But TL has been pretty constant to my knowledge.

Bad management has always been the hallmark of this club. No extras, sensory overload from music & lights, rude intrusive staff. Hires some hot girls but they never stay because they can’t make $. Too bad, it could be a good place; but even higher prices is the wrong approach.

Good work. One needs to be wary here: I think that doorman overcharged you; some waitresses play games with change & drink prices; and of course many dancers like to surprise you once you pay for the VIP room. One needs to be in charge of your game, as you were; then the rewards are good. I think it’s a function of how easy & convenient it is to get extras here, which draws lots of bedazzled sheep to fleece. Don’t be a sheep.

That was for their holiday party (all Synn clubs). Not a bad sign. But they haven’t been posting day roll calls much lately, PS Don’t you know not to believe things strippers say about their competitors? Haha

LOL, "Idiot-approved"!! Beautiful.
But yes, entertaining (and informative, as I said above). Yeah I rag on him, but mainly intending to reality-check him because I'm concerned he might snap and go postal on someone (or himself) if his pretty dreams get shattered by overhearing his dancer-"friends" talk about him behind his back or something. And I can't dodge bullets like the old days! If he understands the score & this isn't an issue, and he just CHOOSES to write that way, then more power to him and I sort of wish I could be that way too but to misquote the late Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner "Oh the things I've seen...."

This guy's an ultimate fanboy, but his reports of underlying data are true (club details, girls in club, girl descriptions, services available, etc.). Everything is just very sugar-coated hearts and unicorns; you just need to read past that (and snicker if you're a jaded SC vet like me) but he provides real intel. To each his own world-view I guess.

Those price points are BEFORE the dance/room fees, but the stated "average" is WAY high of my experiences. Maybe they ASK for that, but they'll fold like chairs at the Thanksgiving kids' table. If you have some game and don't get bedazzled by poontang, you can get FS for $100-200 with 90% of the dancers at these clubs (Rhino is a little higher end, so maybe up to $250 if you are after the unicorns), plus the VIP cost. I'd estimate %150 is more the standard, apart from the top 1%.

Hahaha ROTFL! I nominate LatinaLover69 for “Rant Comment of the Year”! Particularly like calling out the approving reviewers; made me laugh.

Ceeme is legit. Perhaps a little bedazzled on this visit, but it happens: we usually call those “really good days.” Hope you didn’t spend too much, tho: this club gets pricy fast!

It wasn’t an off day. It’s the Big Lots of strip clubs (emphasis on the “big” when it comes to the dancers), sorta bottom of the barrel. The only real carryover from SynnCOI is the drink push & bad employee attitudes.

Golden Pussy Syndrome: a seller’s self-value evaluation which exceeds a rational buyer’s fair market value appraisal. It SHOULD result in a seller with no customers, but unfortunately irrational/uninformed buyers keep screwing up and paying the demanded price. This reinforces high pricing, to the detriment of all buyers.
I don’t fault these girls so much, as they are entitled to test what the market will bear; I fault the customers who can’t figure out or get a sensible market price (read the internet! test the waters! negotiate! shop around!).

Yeah Ardyce was a trip; so many stories of her F’d up stripper life. I actually love her body type (compare Rachel at TJ’s in the day), however her bad lifestyle choices aged her prematurely and she was still dancing in her 50’s on top of that. At least she wasn’t mean-spirited like so many dancers, and she really lived up to that “crazy in the head, good in bed” stereotype. A unique character, for sure.

You escaped two major GPS girls with hardly a scratch; good work.
Whenever a girl tells me “other guys tip me $X” like that, I usually respond “and you thought I look just as stupid?” or something to that effect. I tip for good service in my case, not merely for an audience before some self-proclaimed princess. (Yeah, I’ve had some bad draws lately & am getting jaded).

Holy shit, I thought I’d been to some skeevy clubs here in SoCal but nothing like that! Most I’ve ever seen in a public lap dance area is a 3-finger insertion & a couple semi-concealed HJs. I’ve seen a tampon pop on stage, and found some menstrual blood on my sweatpants on a couple occasions. For over 15+ years, I feel pretty lucky after reading the above!!

Yeah that smoke machine can get out of control. And true re varying numbers; some days 3 girls, some 10. But they now have specials on days other than Thursday that are good; check their website cause I don’t remember exactly. Day admission $5 or often free (if that banner is still up on Valley Blvd) so just pay for first drink. But yeah a lot of overpaying PLs come here so don’t take the first offer and grind prices until you’re comfortable or walk away (& see what happens).

Thanks; good intel. Help like this is necessary at this club, which can get very expensive if you're not on top of your game and willing to work at it. But if you are, the rewards can be stunning.

The reviewer doesn't even state a dancer name!! (Face palm.)
But at least Minnow is no longer claiming (wrongly) that TUSCL rules "prohibit" linking names and acts; while this site's FAQ does correctly note that it may not be wise to do so due to possible LE and club retribution against the dancer, SoCal and its brothel clubs are not the Bible Belt and everyone (including LE) already knows exactly what is happening here and at TL and in COI. I think your review showed appropriate discretion by not naming this girl, who charges very reasonable prices for this place (which usually demands above-market rates, given the LAX tourist factor).

This girl is second-tier (maybe third) at Synn: nice face but not a hardbody and even a little thick in the midsection. But that pricing is absurd for ANYONE -- at least when you hear it from Alyssa or Andrea or Suki you can sorta understand why some guys fork it over. This girl quoted $300 FS for me and I laughed and said just dance, and she then folded like a chair to a $80 BJ - which sucked (probably because she was angry that her entitlement was not honored). A miserable experience. But happens a lot at Synn, thanks largely to many patrons like this who just don't know the game.
