@Papi - As for privacy I prefer the farther back area on the right where the DJ booth used to be. That's where I was on this visit. Being back there cuts down on the likelihood of another dancer peeking in to see if it's unoccupied. In order to get to this area you pass through another VIP area. This can be kinda awkward if dances are occurring at that time. The two areas are separated by a curtain. There are clearly visible cameras in each section.

Sheesh. I wonder if these two are based out of the building at the end of The Block.

@K, you are a fortunate man if Enterprise never billed you for a video toll. I was driving locally in an Enterprise minus my EZ Pass which was in my car at the dealer being serviced. I got hit with a $12 fee plus the toll.

@dolfan - way to work the word perfunctory into a comment. I do believe that's a first on this board :)

Is there such a thing as stage tipping in Canadian clubs? And if so are USD acceptable? Since in Canadian currency $1 and $2 are coins only, $5 CAD would start to add up quickly.

Kinda have to agree with JimmyMcNulty's comment in his approval. The restroom scenario seems pretty depressing. That, plus the removal of the communal LD area lessens the possibility of a return trip anytime soon.

@IIGBD - Thanks for posting this well-written review. Been a long time since I was at Night Shift. May have to make the trek up 95 to check it out. It will be interesting to see if the new ownership can make this work. Here's hoping they can.

aham5I've got a bad feeling about this.
@sd & @aham - thank you both. Looking forward to a visit next time I'm in the 'Burgh.

Great review. Always enjoy the detail in your dancer sheets @Sinclair. Your power of recall is impressive. Do you type notes into your phone?

Great review. Thanks for posting. This was my go to SC pre-COVID. Penelope is actually an owner now. The old DJ booth in the back right corner is now 2 additional private dance areas that are separated by a curtain. Or at least that was the setup pre-COVID. Since you mentioned watching football, I'm curious if they ever replaced the one TV that had a red stripe which blocked a portion of the screen.
The VIP room entrance fee used be $20. It's a big jump to $40 just to get in. Without the option of LDs in the communal LD area being available, that pricing structure really does make the club cost prohibitive.

Very well-written, thorough review. Thanks for posting @groundball. Sorry to learn about the curtain blocking the view of the ladies changing area :) That used to be a unexpected bonus.

@Gvn - my personal preference is to not ID dancers unless they are ROBs.
@Ass - Thanks for clarifying. I presumed they were using the Showcase pricing model.

Do they still scan your ID? That's a dealbreaker for me.

It makes sense. Which is why I'm skeptical :)

^Can our resident attorney Skibum verify the above?

@papi - I'm not completely certain. It's $20 for each different dancer you bring to VIP. If you return later with the same dancer I believe the charge is waived. Hopefully someone else can clarify.

@sexynerd12 - That is the going rate for LDs at the two Beltsville clubs. Or at least it was. Haven't been back to either since they reopened. I agree with you that it is pricey.

Thanks for posting. Did you pay in Guilders or USD or Euro? Does stage tipping exist?

Great review. Thanks for posting. Haven't been there since the VIP area was added. I have wondered about being allowed to step out and smoke. The way I interpreted the sign by the door was if you go outside for any reason you have to pay the cover again. IIRC the cover is $8 on Thursday and $16 on Friday and Saturday.

Is there a room fee on top of the $175?
