Thanks for the review, I had heard they added cameras at DG from one of the dancers. I'd been wanting to go but that part of town can get a little exciting (5th and Hennepin) at night and I just don't feel like messing with it as I like to stay a little later when I'm there (12am - 1am, I try to leave before bar close rush starts)

I was reading that this could become a "black swan event", in that this might cause those countries or groups that don't like the US to be emboldened to push against the US foreign policy. If this happened one of my fears would be the status of the US Dollar as the world currency being replaced by a basket of currencies. Im not sure if this is true as a true "black swan event" is something no one saw coming but I could see China thinking this is the time to "unify Taiwan by force" which would not be good for anyone (other than the Chinese) as TSMC the worlds largest Semiconductor company would fall under the Chinese govt. not to mention what Japan might do if they did invade Taiwan.

just an FYI I am vaccinated but I feel more information is always good and everyone needs to make their own decisions on this subject. Israel has studied the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine and found that it appears the covid vaccine looses some efficiency over time. The chance of spreading the Delta variant even after being vaccinated goes up as time passes BUT your chances of not getting a severe illness is still quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAqVAiPXbJc (here is a video with a good explanation of the findings). https://www.gov.il/en/departments/topics/corona-main-sub Study length: June 20 to July 17 Delta spreading Pfizer vaccine's efficacy in preventing delta variant infections, 39% Still 91 % effective in preventing serious illness Decreasing potency of the vaccination against transmission Those vaccinated January, 16% February, 44% March, 67% April, 75% Protection against severe illness, January vaccinated, 86%

I will agree with Nicespice, they do monitor the camera and will enforce the no touch rule very aggressively. I have gone back to the VIP a few times and even seen a bouncer watching the VIP cameras that were behind the VIP lounge girl as dances were going on. one thing i will note, I have never been offered OTC on the floor but have been offered OTC in the VIP (YMMV).

The Lamplighter also has full nude with alcohol in St Paul, unfortunately the stage is behind glass, fortunately (because of COVID) since they dance behind glass you can still sit next to the stage and watch the dancers.
