This place has gotten very stale in terms of decor and selection of dancers. It certainly sounds like those who were there that night weren't impressed either. I wonder when they are planning to bring in some fresh talent.

The last time I was there I noticed the same thing with the dancers pretty much ignoring all of the customers with the exception of a select few. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was so bored I left and went to the gym because there was no motivation to hang around any longer than I already had. Also, are they ever going to get any fresh blood in there? It seems like it has been the same 8 or 9 girls on the schedule since they reopened.

The day shift definitely does not feature all of that extra shit you mentioned, but there is one thing you can be assured of experiencing no matter when you go - the dollar parade. It actually had subsided quite a bit when they reopened after the pandemic, but now that things are back to normal, expect to go through your stack of $$$ faster than you can blink. And incidentally I hate it when a dancer isn't honest about her immediate availability (or lack thereof) for a private dance. That used to happen to me at the now defunct Titillations and it isn't cool.

When do you think the cutoff is for when they start to impose this ridiculous requirement? I got there around 1pm on a Thursday afternoon and there was no such rule in place nor any cover charge. If possible, you may want to stick to the day shift if you can.

I gave up on this dump years ago. I'm quite surprised that it is even still open. This is one place I figured would not survive covid.

So apparently they have re-opened the lap dance room? The last time I visited (probably December 2020) it was clearly not open for activity of any type.

The ultimate pin in the balloon experience - hot girl attempts to leave your wallet dry and you leave with your pants in that state...

Savannah, Nikki and Kennedy are some of the new names I've heard mentioned when I have called the hotline for the daily lineup. Do any of those names ring a bell as to who the "hot" chick with the perfect ass and tits might be?

Point well taken. I guess I should have left Elvis and mentioned Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac instead to make it more relevant...:)

Is this place even open anymore? Twice within the past month or so I passed by the joint at about 4:30 in the afternoon and saw one car in the parking lot. Based on most of the reviews and my personal experiences, I don't think it would be any big loss if they closed their doors for good.

Breathless is a standard go-go bar in that they serve alcohol and the women are not allowed to go nude on stage, but supposedly extras are available in the private VIP rooms. However, there is a serious lack of variety as far as the selection of dancers is concerned - about 90 percent are dark haired Dominicans with huge asses.

My bad...regular dances are $25 per 5 minutes (recently raised from $20 which had been the price forever). In most cases you get a pretty good grind and you can gripe to your heart's content above the waist, but YMMV. I don't recall the prices for the private rooms, but I am just about certain those went up as well.

I think the incoherent mumbling is supposedly done "for effect", but the only effect it has is pissing you off and frustrating the hell out of you because you can't understand the dancer's name.

Just as a follow up, I returned to GGR a few days after my initial visit because my travels through some of the other area clubs have confirmed that GGR is the only place where you can currently get relatively cheap full contact private dances. Every other club either doesn't offer them at all or else makes you fork over the big $$$ for the VIP room. When I arrived the guy at the front window took my temperature and to my huge surprise it read 100.2. I didn't feel the least bit sick and I chalked it up to the A/C in my car not working and that I was just hot since it was quite warm. The guy told me to go stand in the shade for awhile and then come back. I did this and came back 5 minutes later and the reading was 98.1. However, he would not let me in because he said that he had consulted with the manager while I was "cooling down" and the manager said that if you produce just one high temperature reading, you are banned for the day. I did not argue and I actually feel they are doing the right thing because they have to keep everyone safe, but it does show just how flawed this approach is. Obviously if my temperature went down 2 degrees in 5 minutes just by my doing nothing other than standing in the shade, then there is a very good chance that the initial reading was a false positive. On the other hand, they might let someone into the place who has a temperature of 99.5 and they could be spreading the infection like wildfire. By the way, at this time (around 5pm) the only cars I saw in the lot were the ones that were parked to the far left near where the employees can enter the building through the back entrance and there were only 6 girls scheduled to work on this day so they probably did me a favor by not letting me in. I want to believe that this scene will be a lot better once the vaccine is readily available, but I'm not sure that will be the case.

I stopped by today (9/14). The manager or whoever the dude was made a point of having me sit at least six feet away from any other patron. He was very friendly and polite about it, not at all a dick. I did notice that not everyone was wearing a mask and felt a bit uneasy about that. There were a decent number of girls, but nobody overly impressive and, as far as I know, private dances were not being offered.

I can certainly relate to having the one dancer you were especially interested in seeing not show up. This was happening long before the pandemic hit and, in a few cases, there were as many as 3 of my favorites who failed to show up on the same night. Women often seem to be good at letting us down, regardless of the nature of the relationship.

This might be like a lot of other things in that there won't be a complete return to normalcy until a vaccine is approved and available to everyone. I would think that at the very least that private/VIP dances would be adversely affected even if most of the clubs do soon reopen.

Great review...I couldn't have said it better myself. Even with the deli system and cheesy setup, this place was a lot better 10+ years ago because the women were much better and didn't hide out in the dressing room unless forced to come out. I don't know what the answer is and they won't change anything because the place will still be packed every Friday and Saturday night unless another similar establishment in the area crops up and puts GGR to shame. The other existing area clubs (XXXV, Visions, Bourbon Street) are all in a great position to do that, but each has more than its share of problems.

Yes Ashley is one of the few dancers there who doesn't have any tattoos so that definitely was not her who approached you. If you're hoping that a visit on another day will pay dividends, I'm sorry to say that that will most likely NOT be the case. The quality of dancers is quite lacking these days no matter when you go.

But if this is a club ad, then even they admit the dancer quality has gone downhill

Gee, a club which used to be a lot better that is being crossed off the list...where have we heard this before? At the rate things are going it won't be long before all of us in the tri-state area will have to board a plane south or west for a decent SC experience.

Also I would feel awkward saying no to many of the dancers when nobody else is resisting the constant barrage of tip requests. Probably the best bet would be to completely stay away since the shakedown is obviously not going to stop.

That sounds about right. Very low mileage private dances and mostly women built like 12 year old boys. I really don't understand why so many guys like this place.

Yet another example of the steady decline of this place. Too many dancers almost have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the dressing room even when they have people waiting for private dances and the DJ does page them over the PA to alert them of this (he is often incomprehensible, but they should be used to it by now and basically know whom he is calling). And if you do get disgusted with the wait and decide to grab another dancer who is available, you know that Murphy's Law will kick in and the girl you have been waiting for will finally surface from the back room the second you start the dance with the other woman. It's almost as if the whole thing is fixed and some of them really don't want to be bothered doing private dances.

This place USED to be really good - about 10 years ago. It has gone steadily downhill since.
