I live in South FL and do most of clubbing in the south where the A/C is on year-round (at least in South FL) – I don’t recall personally being in a club where the temperature was uncomfortably cold or hot (although I’ve been in some clubs where one of the A/C units may be malfunctioning thus certain parts of the club may be hot) – for the most part the only time I’ve felt too-cold in a SC is if I was sitting by a vent where the air hit me directly.
But it’s understandable that dancers may react to it being cold more than custies – for one, women supposedly tend to be more sensitive to cooler temps; and of course dancers are wearing a lot less – but I’ve found that once there is body-to-body contact that the coldness goes away (unless it’s an air-dance).

This is a touchy subject – for one, too-easy to ruin a dancer’s (or PL’s) reputation in the club by making a false-accusation – also; if a PL “catches something”; depending on his level of mongering he may only be assuming he got it from ‘X’ dancer.
OTOH – if it’s known for sure; other than hearsay, then kinda-hard to keep-it to yourself and put others at risk whether it’s custies or dancers.
As others have said, I guess it has to do w/ the source of the allegation; but I think most PLs would be wary if they hear ‘X’ dancer may have something unless they knew the dancer well and could somewhat trust her.

I can see the appeal of this especially for a household (multiple people living at home and thus needing more things) – in today’s society often times the most important commodity is time (and for many folks time/convenience is at more of a premium than $$$) – many folks work long-hours and also have stressful commutes thus the free-time they have they rather not have to spend-it on chores like grocery-shopping – this is just an evolution of our society where w/ time people outsource their chores more-and-more (cutting the yard; changing their car-oil; washing their clothes; and to a certain extent cooking at home; etc).
I live-alone and don’t cook much at home, thus I don’t have to spend as much time at the store thus a service like Walmart+ is not that huge a benefit for me; but even then there are times I need stuff and I don’t feel like going to the store even if I have the time – this service can also be beneficial for those that don’t have a car; seems a certain # of young-people today don’t wanna own a car unless they have to.

Just as custies have a preference for a particular type of dancer (age; build; ethnicity; personality; etc); one would assume dancers also have a preference for a particular type of custy – just like certain custies don’t necessarily go for “the hottest girl in the club” for various reasons; likewise some dancers may not go for “the custy that looks like he’s got the most $$$” for various reasons – there’s something to be said w.r.t. feeling more comfortable w/ the dancer/custy.
Having said this, both from reading SW in the past, and dancers I’ve talked to, as well as my personal experience; overall I’ve heard more complaints w.r.t. younger guys – such as:
+ they are at the club more to party than to spend
+ the younger-guys tend to be the ones that wanna ask for (real/nonpaid) dates
+ I’ve often heard from dancers that older-guys tend to be more respectful and younger guys more aggressive – of course this is not universal but it is part of nature that younger-males will usually be more aggressive in general
I’ve posted in the past that I started SCing somewhat-regularly at age 30 and how if I hit a particular club or a particular time where there were older guys, that is was more common for me to be passed-up for the older guys (assuming we were both dressed the same – actually pre-TUSCL I would dress better in the club usually business-casual).
I also think that most of us that have been clubbing for a good # of years, we likely tend to spend more in our later years for various reasons (more established economically and in our careers etc; usually more established financially overall in life; i.e. college debt is likely a thing of the past; the older guys have already owned a home for many years and not trying to save up a big-down-payment for a home; etc).
This doesn’t mean that dealing w/ older-custies doesn’t have any downsides – at the very-least there is a generational-divide - as an older-custy one is not only older but one will usually think/feel differently that when in his 20s - older custies also grew-up in a different (pre-hip-hop) era w/ different social-norms thus many younger-dancers may have a hard-time understanding older-custies and vice-versa.
At the end of the day, just like there isn’t a specific type of dancer for all PLs, there isn’t a specific type of custy for all dancers – some dancers can’t stand the young-guys; and some dancers can’t stand the old guys – a strip-club is not a perfect ecosystem and it's a bit of a no-man’s-land and as long as P4P remains illegal I think most clubs will continue to be a crapshoot when it comes to functioning at their best.

Wow - blast from the past.
Does the club still have the same name? I always thought it was kinda an odd name.
You didn't state the dance price. I assume it's $10?

The government “by law” is not allowed to suppress information (1st Amendment) – thus as part of the coup against Trump they used the social-media backdoor to suppress information they wanted suppressed but they o/w could not suppress it themselves b/c of the 1st-Amendment – they ‘ve been doing this all along to silence their critics whether it was w.r.t. the Hunter laptop, Covid, or all the BS that went down in the 2020-election.
The social-media-backdoor was the precursor to the “Disinformation Board” the Biden administration was trying to incorporate which was likely unconstitutional – what you have here is those-in-power/the-government deciding on what is true and what is not and suppressing anyone that says otherwise – this is 3rd-world power-grab s***.
I imagine the left, including the FBI, likely forced the hand of social media – just like I doubt Zuckerberg “took it upon himself” to put almost half-a-Billion dollars into the 2020 election – I imagine he was “encouraged” by the powers-to-be.
Pre-2020 the left was constantly talking-about/threatening to break-up big-tech – you hardly here a peep about that now even though they are now in control/power.

"Zuckerberg: FBI Pushed Facebook To Crack Down On Misinformation Before Hunter Biden Laptop Story Was Published"
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed Thursday on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that the FBI approached the social media company during the 2020 presidential election and pushed them to crack down on alleged “Russian propaganda” before the Hunter Biden laptop story was published by the New York Post.
Zuckerberg made the remarks when asked by host Joe Rogan how Facebook handled big news items that were controversial, like the Hunter Biden laptop story.
“I mean, basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert. There was, we thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant,’” Zuckerberg said.
“So our protocol is different from Twitter’s. What Twitter did is they said, ‘You can’t share this at all.’ We didn’t do that,” Zuckerberg continued. “What we do is we have, if something was reported to us as potentially misinformation, important misinformation, we also use third-party fact-checking program, because we don’t want to be deciding what’s true and false. And for the — I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being determined whether it was false, the distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it. So you could still share it; you could still consume it.”
Zuckerberg said that the reduced distribution on the platform meant that the story was ranked lower in people’s newsfeeds “so fewer people saw it than would have otherwise.”
Zuckerberg said that the down-ranking of the story had a “meaningful” impact in how many people saw it.
“So depending on what side of the political spectrum, you either think we didn’t censor it enough or censored it way too much,” he continued. “But we weren’t sort of as black and white about it as Twitter. We just kind of thought, hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view is a legitimate institution in this country, it’s like very professional law enforcement, they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously.”
Zuckerberg couldn’t recall the exact details of what the FBI said or if it was in reference to that specific story, but he said that it “basically fit the pattern.”

I don’t have an S.O. thus not a “huge” issue for me – but for w/e reason I do feel somewhat uncomfortable being seen walking into a strip-club; and although it wouldn’t be the end of the world, I would not like for people that know me, and less-so family-members, to see me walking into one (my SCing is not something I share w/ people that know me) – almost everyone in my family is pretty-socially-conservative (typical old-school Hispanic family) and are not the types that would go to a strip-club nor even go out drinking at bars etc (maybe hit a bar once in a bluemoon but not something they do regularly).
This is rarely on my mind though when I hit a club unless the occasional situation where I’m kinda “out in the open” per se – most clubs I hit are not necessarily in full-view of passers-by – but one in particular, which when I was doing a lot of clubbing was kinda at the top of my rotation (The Body Club); is similar to the OP’s description of Diamond Dolls – w.r.t. The Body Club:
+ it’s on a busy street w/ lots of traffic (US1/Biscayne Blvd)
+ there is traffic-light right by the club’s entrance almost parallel to the club’s door – being a busy-street the cars queue-up when the light is red
+ it’s a small-club, looks like an converted small-old-house – the club is set back from the street maybe 20ft and pretty-much no (visual) barriers in b/w it and the street
+ not a lot of parking – being very-familiar w/ this club from having visited it countless-times over the last 10 years I know the little nooks-and-crannies where I can slide my compact-car into and two of those nooks-and-crannies where I park are usually right by the entrance to the small parking area where there are two small spots/areas that don’t looks like parking-spaces thus most people don’t park there but I’m aware of them and able to slide my small-compact into one of those two spaces – but those two small-spaces/areas are almost right-up against the sidewalk and thus just a few feet from the street – thus when I park there (which is most of the time), and the light is red and cars queued on the street, I’m very close to the street and in good-view of a # of cars
The Body Club is about the only club I feel a bit self-conscious off when I visit (mainly when parking and heading to the entrance all along in view of the queued-up-cars at the light); and I almost-always visit on dayshift (late-afternoons often around rush-hour) – Diamond Dolls in Pompano is similar but DDs is further away from the street and there are also parked-cars in b/w the DDs-entrance and the street which kinda shield you a bit; thus I usually haven’t felt self-conscious when hitting DDs even on dayshift as I do at times when I visit The Body.

Are you used to being outside the Zona and this is uncommon - or is it more common outside the Zona and you just weren't aware b/c previously you spend most of your time in the Zona?

"... She implied, if not straight out said, that maybe we could hang out later. Seeing that I don’t live in town, and I’m highly skeptical of beautiful women that are strangers wanting to hang out with me I decided I’d pass. She put her number in my phone anyhow ..."
A certain # of these dancers get w/ custies outside the club (referred to as "OTC" here on TUSCL) - many of the Miami clubs are known for extras (sex in VIP) so you do the math - not the norm, but also not unheard of for some of the more "entrepreneurial" dancers to sometimes be the ones to bring-it-up.
The possibility for it being something nefarious is always a possibility; but the way you described it comes across as her trying to make some extra-$$$ on the side which is not that uncommon especially in certain clubs.
Was she aware that you were from out of town? Anyway unlikely she wanted to "hang out" - she was most-likely hinting at a paid-session outside the club which again not the norm but def not that uncommon.

Per what @heaving posted - one would assume you enjoyed your previous interactions w/ her - so hard to see you 'wasted" your $$$ on her - if you saw her repeatedly one would assume she treated you well and that is all she really owes you (to show a good time at the club in-line w/ what you spent).
Also - many TUSCLers on here read about OTC and think it's as easy as just willing to pay - reality is that OTC has a high-failure-rate and many if not most dancers are not down with it and prefer to keep their club-life and their real-life as separate as possible.

You've been a TUSCLer for 10-years - one would assume you'd know how these things go - as @Dugan posted, it's a commercial relationship like anything else one pays $$$ for - dancers provide a service; nothing else; they don't owe us anything more than what one pays for at the club (or w/e arrangement$ are made for OTC) - once a dancer is ready to move-on, more often than not she cuts all ties w/ her former-dancer-life.
As a TUSCLer one should know how flaky many of these girls are - we should be surprised when they follow thru vs the other way around - if she really wanted-to or needed-to, she would make sure to get w/ you; o/w you should just accept that perhaps she's not interested - you let you intentions be known and she has a way to get in touch w/ you; if she hasn't then it's for a reason.
Many dancers for some reason have a hard time saying no - IDK if it's b/c they feel they are being rude; or b/c they never wanna burn a bridge in case they may need it in the future; but it's not uncommon for many dancers to not say no when they are thinking/feeling no.

@Tester
I can see the club setting a time-limit on dancers being in a custy's room and away from the club b/c o/w the club is potentially missing-out on profits while she's out of circulation (kinda analogous to ITC VIP time in a U.S. SC).
Are there issues w/ a HK girl coming to one's room (either Cascadas or Rizo) when she's off the clock - or is the club somehow having issues w/ this also?

I’m not that well-traveled so can’t really give advice on great beaches/beach-towns – also, having grown-up (and currently living) in Miami, I didn’t necessarily have to travel to hit a decent beach(es) although it’s always nice/interesting to check-out other areas.
I’m not a big beach-guy per se in the sense I don’t necessarily enjoy sitting in the sand and sun-bathing (in part b/c I’m very fair-skinned) – and I don’t necessarily enjoy swimming in the ocean mostly b/c of the waves – it’s ok but not something I crave per se.
But I do like the beach-area vibe – and of course enjoy looking at the eye-candy particularly downhere in Miami.
Pre-Covid I would hang-out in South Beach (SoBe) a fair-amount – the beach-area is just more relaxing and a different vibe from the city – hitting SoBe on the weekends felt like a little get-away that was just about 30-minutes away from the crib – I recall I almost instantly felt relaxed and in a better-mood as soon as I was on the causeway from Miami to Miami-Beach and I would look-out at the water as I was driving on the causeway towards the beach and I would see the boats and jet-skis – I would be almost instantly relaxed and in a better-mood just on the drive there. I didn’t hit the beach (sand/water) that often and usually just hung-out in SoBe mostly on Ocean Drive (street next to the beach) – I’d often take my bicycle and ride up and down Ocean Drive and other parts of SoBe and check out all the hot babes walking around SoBe often wearing very-little (plenty of bare-asses in tiny g-strings) – I’d spend an afternoon; get something to eat in the plethora of SoBe dining-options, and maybe have a drink at one of the sidewalk bars facing the beach.
I also liked hitting Cocoa Beach when I wanted a little getaway from the same-ole same-ole – it was a 3-hour-drive from my Miami crib to Cocoa Beach – I mainly went to hit the strip-club Inner Room and actually never made it to the Cocoa Beach beaches – but I def liked the laidback feel of Cocoa Beach and that it had 3 decent SCs close to each other – very different vibe from the Miami jungle where I live – pre-Covid I’d drive up to Cocoa Beach every few months on a Fr after lunch – it would take me about an hour to get out of South Florida (get past Palm Beach county) but once I got past the northern-end of Palm Beach county and thus out South FL, the traffic would significantly thin-down and it was just a different scenery and I felt relaxed after I got past/out-off South FL – I would just chill for the next 2-hours listening to music in the car till I got to Cocoa Beach - I had to take a causeway over the water to get from I-95 to Cocoa Beach and it too had the nice relaxing feeling of looking out over the water when one was on the causeway and it got me in the right/relaxed mood.
So although I’m not a big beach-guy per se, I do enjoy the laidback vibe of beach-towns especially when there’s stuff to do and/or some nice eye-candy to look at.
Never been out West (Cali etc) – but I’m not used to hills/mountains/cliffs – thus the beaches that I’ve seen on TV/YouTube with cliffs or rocks etc I don’t find that appealing – I’m used to flat-terrain and like wide beaches (wide sand area) vs a small/narrow sand-area b/w a cliff and the water – I wouldn’t say I dislike hilly/cliffy beaches, but not my pref.

If a club has a set-price for dances then that is what one pays unless one *wants* to tip on top for good-dances - what one should *not* do is allow a dancer to just make up any price she wants and one just pays - if dances are $30 and I only got one dance/song, that is what I pay; I don't pay what she says - if she starts complaining I just tell her the dance-prices is $30 and that is what I pay; then I just walk out the dance-booth.
There are a lot of ROBs in clubs b/c too many custies are unwilling to push back; no need to be an ahole, but one needs to not be a pushover in environments like this.

"... club home page is quite out of date and shows that management does not care about social media ..."
Many clubs don't even maintain their own websites (if they have one at all); so it's a long-shot they will put proper info on TUSCL - also, TUSCL is a *customer* website so it’s mostly up to us custies/TUSCLers to provide TUSCL with the proper info – but most TUSCLers are too-lazy and/or may not know how to update club info on TUSCL and why one shouldn’t go by what the club’s page states b/c it can often be outdated and/or missing pertinent info.

^ I haven't been to this club in a while but I think I read in previous-reviews it was not smoke-free under the new ownership - I think they built a smoking-patio/area near the front of the club - the current club has little if anything in common with the old Inner Room which is a bad-thing for the old IR custies (minus the smoking).

Lazy stage-show – not a deal-breaker 100% of the time; but I’ve def passed on dancers given their demeanor on stage that I o/w may have gotten dances from – I’m not one that requires a dancer to do an Olympic-style-routine on stage; I’m not that impressed w/ super-wild stage-shows, actually IME often times the dancers that are really into their stage-shows often don’t seem to be as interested in giving good-dances.
w.r.t. stage-show; what I like is sexiness/sensuality (smile; eye-contact; etc) – what I don’t like is a dancer that looks like she’s constipated and looks like she rather be at a funeral than on-stage – I can understand there are dancers that don’t like being on-stage and want-to-be on the floor trying to sell-dances/VIPs, or some dancers may actually be shy/self-conscious about being on-stage; but if she’s required to be on-stage then if she’s half-assing-it it makes me feel that she will also half-ass dances etc.

Wouldn't say it's an instant turn-off but often is ... when the dancer is wearing too-much clothes as in too-elaborate an outfit; during-the-dance I don't want her taking half-the-song taking-off her outfit, or worse yet not take much off during a dance b/c it's too much trouble for her to take the outfit off and on.
Fishnet body-suits – I think they look sexy – the issue I have w/ them is that some dancers feel they are “nude enough” already with a fishnet-bodysuit and thus will leave it on during a dance – I think fishnet-bodysuits look-sexy but when getting a dance I want to feel flesh not fishnet – similarly, long stockings; they don’t do much for me and I prefer to feel her actual legs/skin vs stocking-material.
Full-bottoms that cover most of her butt vs a g-string – full-bottom bikinis don’t look sexy; makes a dancer look grandma-ish – they are not a deal-breaker if she’s o/w my type; but a turn-on they are not.

With some exceptions, the standard SoFlo price for lap-dances is $25 (and $10 floor-dances for the clubs that have them).
Although this club is slightly less-raunchy than the Hallandale Cheetah; I hadn't heard complaints of the dance-area-monitor interrupting things nor had ever read of a dancer being told she needed to have both feet on the ground; especially given the kinda things that go on in the SoFlo clubs - I can see the clubs not wanting to allow things to go too far in the dance-area b/c that may mean them losing out on VIP-room-fees. Could also be that this particular dancer is new to the club and maybe she was going a little too far w.r.t. what is the norm for this club and perhaps staff had an eye on her?
The most I'll do in the dance-area is suck on titties; if I do anything more than that then I def try to keep my PL-eye on the dance-area-monitor guy.
