Bar situation a bit awkward? Understatement of the year. You have to ride an elevator to get a drink? Was rooting for LeRouge/Lido to succeed but this sounds like an awful setup.

Obvious dancer review. LOL

There is a new branded party being advertised over email: “The Spot” Address is a 39th and 5th Ave location previously used by Le Rouge Lounge. Le Rouge if you recall was a party launched by the founder of HLDC/original Lido fame. Le Rouge died off during Covid nightlife closures but has hinted at reopening plans. My hunch is The Spot is the new Le Rouge. Has anyone here visited since the new launch earlier this month?

S88 I’m confused. You previously said WNC (when night comes) was a black/brown only party. But now you say this new 9/30 party is a HotLapDance (HLDC) imitation even though it’s the WNC crowd? HLDC was the complete opposite of WNC. Maybe you’re mixing up party names, or maybe I’m missing something? Would like to know more as well.

Cest La Vie is still open. I believe it was a spin off of St Venus Theater. Maybe S88 can confirm that. I received emails this week about parties Wed and Thurs - Sep 1, Sep 2. Their website doesn’t appear to be working so I’m not sure how to sign up for their list. Maybe via email - clvny.member at gmail.com

Does Rosewood still take pictures of IDs?

Is Le Rouge still around? I last received an email from them in June hinting at a reopening. Since then nothing. Maybe I fell off their list. When was the last time you were at Le Rouge? Another one for your to-do list: Cest La Vie. It’s in the category of Le Rouge, Rosewood, etc.

S88 has contributed more info on the NYC lap dance party scene over the years than anybody. For that we should be thankful. I’ve gotten used to his writing and will attempt an abridged version here: S88 found a new high-end lapdance party on the Lower East Side. The girls are attractive, fit, mostly white girls. Some are available, some are just looking for a sugar daddy. Sounds like very hot girls in and upscale venue that comes with a high cover.

Thanks S88 for the continued contributions on the NYC lap dance party scene. Had a couple follow up questions you could enlighten us on. Is CLVT still running out of Sapphires? Whereabouts is the FA location - general area is fine? What’s the mask situation at the parties these days?

Clubs WITHOUT bathroom trolls. Some guys are utterly disgusting will behave like animals without adult supervision. We needs trolls to keep the bathrooms clean and the animals in check. Have you ever been to Cannonball in Toronto, one of the top rated clubs on here? They don't use trolls and their bathrooms are pigsties - flooded toilets, the works.

I think the lookalike you're talking about goes by the name of Janelle. She's been at PH for a while and wasn't always an over-counter. I used to be a semi-regular of hers, getting some dances when I was in town (I'm from Chicago). Last time I saw her she over-counted me by a couple of songs. I think I did 4 and she said 6. I was shocked, especially because I had been seeing her and tipping her well for over a year. Maybe she's jaded, looking to exit the biz, or just needs some cash. Oh well, it's a disappointment that she's changed.

Detroit Las Vegas

This is very common at PHC. Girls there much prefer to waste 3 hours with a regular and make zero money than to try out a new customer. They fear spending time with you and maybe getting rejected if they ask for a dance They fear rejection above all else. Also, they will always say "yes" when someone tips them and asks them to stop by. It's easier than explaining that they have a regular waiting or that they need to go to the dressing room and text message for 30 minutes. Saying "no" risks causing a scene. There's no upside for them in saying no. They'll always say they'll stop by. At PHC I ask them to "stop by" since it implies I'm looking for a quick chat and some dances. Don't ask if they'll "join you" because they might think you just want them sit with you all day.

Sapphires is just as expensive and the girls are less attractive. No reason to go anywhere but SR if eyecandy is your top priority.

Nice report. Next time, depending on your schedule, consider buying a $60 one-way Southwest flight from Dallas to Houston and then flying home from Houston instead. Houston's Treasures is more similar to Detroit in terms of talent, prices, etc.

Awesome report. I can't wait to get back there.

Something is fishy here. Drinks are still $8.75-$12.00 Most dinner entrees are under $25.00. There are always tons of people getting lunch/dinner there. This thread needs to be deleted.

Micro weight corduroys from Bonobos. Feels like very thin velvet. Every new dancer comments on these pants. Expensive but worth it. http://www.bonobos.com/store/item/Khaki_Pinwales_New_Liners

Read my earlier post. Polekatz - no VIPs and Admiral - no. Air dance clubs Just go to Industrial Strip. It's the best halfway decent option in Chicago, the worst strip club city.

Chicago has the worst SC scene of any major city. This has been confirmed on here over and over again. Industrial Strip is the only halfway decent option. Industrial Strip - #1 in Chicagoland Club 0 or Club 390 - your 2nd choice Polekatz - Avoid. can't really touch the dancers Blackjacks - Avoid. Don't waste your time Arnies is a black club. Don't waste your time Jimmies - Nope Industrial Strip should be your first choice if you're in Chicago.

I know Harley from Industrial Strip and the Detroit clubs. I'm sorry but I don't know what the fuss is about. I was not a fan of her boob job and her dances lack sensuality. Additionally, at Industrial Strip she wouldn't take off her pasties during the dance. High hustle factor too.

I was only planning on being there Saturday. Do you know if PH has an early closing Saturday night?

This week is going to be a marathon for me. I live in chicago Wednesday I'll be in NYC for business. I'll be spending the evening at a well known stripeasy. From 8 till 2am or so. Then Friday I'm going to drive to Indianapolis to check out Brads Brass Flamingo, a first time visit for me. Then Saturday it's Detroit time where I'll be visiting family for Easter. Saturday I'll be at Penthouse most of the evening. All in, I'm guessing 20 hours between those 3 clubs this week.

I think he said South Florida so I'm not going to compare Mons Venus to Houston. Girls are hotter, younger and less ethnic in Houston than say Miami. Mileage about the same.
