Admission: $20 Dance Prices: 1 song/$40, 15min/$150, 30min/$250. Venue: Located in industrial port area of Long Beach/Wilmington border and next to a 24-hour diner. It’s not the most “comfortable” area but is well-lit and populated enough to not feel too unsafe. Standard ID check (no scan) and pat down before entry. Inside, place is divided in half with the bar and stage (two poles) on one side and the dance area, dj booth, and pool table on the other. Not the fanciest venue but serviceable. Mixed patronage, but majority Latino. The place does close at 6am so thing don’t really pick up until about 2am when all the other clubs/bars close. Bar: $9 dollar sodas. They have beer, but I didn’t ask pricing. Interesting note, bar staff is all male, a weird sighting. Dancers: This is a Latino club. 95% of the dancers are Latina. The only non-Latinas on this night were two very petite Asian dancers. Shapes, shades, and sizes span across the spectrum. They do approach fairly often and are quite aggressive on the VIP push. Most didn’t even bother offering a single dance. Some mentioned extras, but all were overpriced (for me). There were about 20 dancers by the time I left. Stage Dances: Happen more frequently the busier the night gets. They were okay but I’ve received better stage interactions at other clubs. They also occasionally run doubles which I enjoy. Most got nude with $ufficient motivation. Private Dances: Had 3 single dances. The single song dances take place on actual chairs in stalls lined against the wall that are out in the open. The stalls' walls are about waist high so you can see virtually everything happening in the neighboring stalls. There is security strolling throughout the area from time to time, so don’t expect too much here. VIPs take place in curtained booths on the opposite side. All dances are paid to the DJ. 1. BBL Betty - Enhanced from head to toe, but the ass stood out. She was really touchy on the approach, giving me a decent preview of her offerings. Went for the single and it was not bad, but I definitely learned that they cut their songs short. Though for the amount of time and limited privacy we had, she provided some decent two-way touch which she encouraged. Heavy push for VIP after dance. 2. Delgadita – A slim number with long, jet black hair. Had a real nice stage dance that prompted me to ask for a dance. Unfortunately, her floor dance paled in comparison to the BBL Betty. It was one step above an air dance and left me underwhelmed. Heavy push for VIP after dance. 3. Workout Queen – She treated the dance like a workout; performing acrobatic maneuvers mixed with some unorthodox dance moves. It was actually a fun dance with mileage near BBL Betty. It helped that she had nice tits that stayed in (on?) my face. Heavy push for VIP after dance. Wrap-up: You will be pushed for VIP, lol. But I guess that’s understandable. Seemed a lot heavier with the pressure compared to other venues though. Overall, this isn’t a place I need to revisit as there are cheaper options elsewhere and I do enjoy the greater dancer variety at other clubs (I know it’s tough here in LA with the Latina majority, but it is possible). As well, I didn’t feel that comfortable getting dances here as nothing felt that private. Even the VIP booths were paltry. However, if you prefer a nearly all-Latina roster at a slightly more expensive price point, this could be the place for you. Happy clubbing gents.

In the area for work, so decided to try Rhino Rialto. Admission: $21 Dance Prices: $120/15 min, $180/20 min. Don’t remember single dance prices Venue: Commercial lot next to a Rally’s. Patdown and ID Scan. Standard Rhino affair: large venue with pseudo- ‘elegant’ décor and 90’s-era stripper starlet portraits lined along walls. Single stage in dead center with ample seating. Not too many patrons their (maybe due to my early arrival or the day of the week I went). Bar: Non-alcohol; $7 sodas. No hustle. Dancers: There around 10-12 dancers. A little looser around the bell curve compared to other Rhinos. There were one or two with pretty extreme enhancements, but most were in reasonable shape. Most were Latina, with the rest being white, and one fair-skinned mixed dancer. Stage Dances: I was there a bit early, so stage dances were less frequent, but they were good if you were tipping decently (got up close and personal and got completely nude). I enjoyed most of the dancers on stage. Only one was awkward as she didn’t make her way toward me at all despite being the only guy at the stage and putting down tips. It was strange, but maybe she was just having an off day. Private Dances: Private Dances take place in a long area with tons of booths in the back. VIP dances take place toward the back corners of this area where there are larger booths with bigger couches and futons. All dances paid at bar. Keep in mind this is quite the opposite of some other Rhino locations that don’t have true VIP privacy. I opted for a 20min with the mixed dancer. She was a thicker number with all natural assets. She was pretty adamant that she did not need to do the stage to convince me of the quality of her VIP experience. But I wanted to see it first. Fortunately, she was next on-stage and she did not let me down. Afterwards, in the 20 min booth, she got completely nude and was quite liberal with the contact, soft to the touch, sensual with the dance, and kept me engrossed the entire time. 9/10 Wrap-up: I know this one is a bit shorter, but I only had one dancer and spent more time at the stage this go around. I will say I did have a better-than-expected time, though. Perhaps when I’m in the area again and have more time to kill, I’ll try for variety and provide a more robust review. Happy clubbing gents.

Decided to drop by one of Spearmint Rhino’s little siblings. Prices: $21 Dance Prices: 2 songs/$50. Venue: Modest venue on corner with parking in back and front. When I arrived, I found parking in the front. Doorman process standard (ID check and scan, patdown). Club itself is a somewhat long with the bar and bathrooms right near the entrance, a VIP section to the left (of bar), stage center, and private and long-length dance booths toward the back end. Floor décor is alright, but they had some cheap elementary school play decorations on stage for the holiday. Crowd was mixed, but no apparent riffraff. Bar: Full alcohol bar. Didn’t drink so prices escape me. This is a bottle-service type place too so on this night there were few parties both on the floor and in the VIP bottle area being catered to heavily by staff and dancers. Dancers: There were around 15-20 dancers. Given this is a chain in the Spearmint Rhino brand, I expected the dancers to reflect that. However, this place had more variety in body types, races, and ages than the Rhino’s I’ve visited (save the Rialto location, which I will review at another time). On this particular night, I can’t say the approaches were frequent, and again, there were large bottle service parties happening, so many of the dancers hung around the bottle service groups. Stage Dances: Frequent and decent. Topless only. I didn’t hang around the stage too long. Private Dances: As I was not expecting to stay here too long, I only opted for two dances both of which were decent. Standard lap dances take place in a dark room with about 3-4 rows of 4-5 booths. Paid at attendant post in back corner. #1 - Fake Asian: The whole time she sat down with me, I thought she was Asian. Turns out, she was just plain old 'dark' white (Italian), but everyone thinks she is Asian, so she’ll run with it sometimes. Who the hell knows. She may need to do a 23andMe to clear that up. Anyway. She was mid 20s, slimmer, and petite who seemed fairly down to earth. Chatted for a while before heading to the dances (2x50). She was solid, good with the contact, and didn’t rush the dance. Do note as this place is part of the Rhino family, tops don’t really get removed during the shorter dances. However, she was wearing a thin bikini top which allowed for decent upper contact without its removal. I left thinking I might get a VIP with her later, but another customer who ordered bottle service nabbed her for the rest of night. More power to her as the guy was spending way more than I was. #2 – Forty-plus and Crushing It: The next dancer was clearly in her forties, but with a body that most 20-somethings would envy. Latina, long dark hair, with a very direct approach. After brief chat went for dances (2x50). Her dance was also great, and her body felt amazing. The only issue I had was that her top was a thick bra so when I was going for upper contact (which she allowed), the bra kind of took away from the contact. Other than that, she was a damn good dance. Wrap-up: Stopped by here on a whim as I was in the area after finishing watching a sporting event. Decent club offering the typical club experience. Just hope that when you go, there aren’t too many bottle service parties taking a lot of the dancers from the floor. Happy clubbing gents.

The other non-OneGC club on the COI block, this place has been on my to-do list for a while... Admission: $20 Dance Prices: $40/3 songs, $10/min in the VIP rooms (15 min room is less private than 20/30-minute rooms) Venue: Ample parking in well-lit lot. ID check (no scan) with pat down. Inside, fairly small venue. Stage centered with ample rail seating. Tables and walled seating lined along an inner perimeter with a slightly elevated 2nd level with similar seating (no tables there). It’s like a smaller version of Paradise GC up the road. Standard decor/lighting. Clientele primarily Latino but had all types rolling through. Gets very crowded after 1am as other spots nearby close at 2am (this place closes at 5am). Annoying DJ. This guy wouldn’t stop talking shit. I get encouraging patrons to tip and hyping up a dancer with some humor, but this guy was just being an ass. I think this is the first time I’ve had an issue with the DJ. Bar: Non-alcohol, $8 drinks. Drink hustle pretty heavy. Dancers: At the peak, there were about 20+ dancers. Latinas mainly, but had Black, Afro-Latin (Cubans), a few White dancers, and some others that I could not quite identify. No Asians. Body types all over the place but I’d say that more dancers were thicker than not. Some fairly enhanced, but I think the majority were natural (or had natural looking enhancements). Stage Dances: Constant, but inconsistent, for the most part. Some get nude. Some only go topless. One didn’t remove anything. Some get up close and personal for a while, while others dance in front of you for two seconds before moving on. Tips may or may not contribute to the clothing removal on stage. Private Dances: For me on this night, it was really a crap shoot that biased toward mediocre. Private dance booths are similar to other places (side by side booths lined along the walls). 15-minute rooms take place in a private curtained off area. 30 minutes take place in another room that I did not feel any motivation to pursue given the options. #1 – Ebony Brickhouse – As the name suggest, her body (particularly from the back) was shaped marvelously. Heavily tatted ass. 40/3. Her dance was good with decent mileage (upper, lower, no finger stuff). However, I didn’t feel the push to go any longer with her. She did “ask” for a tip afterwards though. I think I have to stop being annoyed at this...but I can’t help it, lol. #2 – Skinny Letdown – Really slim petite Black dancer. Really good stage dance that got me. I’ve been receiving great dances from slim dancers as of late, so I was hoping to continue the trend. Unfortunately, the streak was broken. Out the gate, she wanted additional money for touching before starting the dance. I politely declined and let her just grind while I scope out my next dancer. Her grind was okay but not enough to salvage the experience. #3 – Enhanced Letdown – I believe White (or White-appearing Latina) with big enhancements above and below with messy curly hair. Talked a big game. Went 40/3. She air-danced for most of the first song, was vaping like a mad woman, and didn’t seem very comfortable with me. I checked out immediately. I politely ended the dance right there, taking the 2-song loss, and walked right out the booth. I’m not trying to make anyone feel uncomfortable and would rather not have deep-lung vapors constantly blasting in my face. (Honestly, this vaping shit is getting out of hand at all the clubs. But that’s a discussion for another time.) #4 – The Amazonian – Taller/Bigger all-natural busty dancer with long dark hair; like a thick Wonder-Woman. She was pleasant enough, so I decided for the 40/3. No tip hustling or weird behavior during the dance so decided for the 15min. She was okay but felt like she was just going through the motions with minimal dynamics. I think many bigger dancers tend to be less dynamic, but maybe it’s just the ones I’ve encountered. 6/10 Wrap-up: I’ve been on pretty good streak in SoCal clubs, but streaks can only last so long. Maybe it was just this night, and I just picked the wrong dancers, but I have feeling you’ll have more consistent experience at the neighboring clubs. The only potential benefit I see of this place is that it is open until 5am. So, if you happen to be late night lingering in COI, and you just have to see some tits at 330am, this place has you covered. Happy clubbing gents.

I didn’t want to repeat more of the mundane items so if you want venue descriptions and all that jazz, you can refer to my review from September 2024 or other members reviews. This one will focus on the dances. Admission: $21 Dance Prices: $50/2 songs, $250/20min. (I don’t remember the 10 min rate). Venue: See my, or other, reviews. Bar: Full bar. Dancers: Slower night, only about 10 dancers. All were conventionally attractive and in great shape. White, Latina, and few mixed Black/White dancers. Didn’t see any Asians. Stage Dances: As good as they were during my last visit. Topless only. Good pole work and decent interaction with patrons (when there isn't a whale blasting tons of dollars in the corner...) Private Dances: I can speak to this now as I actually got dances this time (both front room and backroom). Front-room dances take place in a communal area on benches that are fully visible thru long window openings (right behind the cashier/dance attendant) and large open doorways. They do get topless, but for short periods of time. Backroom dances take place in another large communal area behind the stage. I believe they refer to this as “VIP”, but no true privacy is possible in here, so I don’t feel right referring to it as “VIP”. It’s full of larger booths lined amongst each other. I’m slightly above average height and I could see over the top of most of the booths. I’ve gotten similar privacy at front-room dance areas at other clubs. Your dancer may take you to the corner wall-facing booths for more ‘privacy’, however other dancers also have this idea. So, you end up in the corner with 3 or 4 other couples; feeling no different than the average front-room experience you’d get at other clubs. You’re paying “VIP” prices for a front-room quality experience. This isn’t to take way from the dancers, who were all good dancers in their own right. As well, if there is another more private VIP area I’m not aware of here, let me know. #1 – Seasoned – Dark haired exotic who appeared to be in her early 30s. She had that Kardashian face. Per our conversation, she’s danced for quite some time and has experience at the more ‘upscale’ places in LA. She had some enhancements, but nothing crazy. Real glamour girl with the attitude to match. Her dance was good with decent contact (medium mileage) and you can tell she’s real professional at this. Didn’t feel compelled to go for more dances though. #2 – Fit and (Occasionally) Fluent – Blond hair Latina. Slim with the markings of a gym-rat (toned and tight). She had a thick accent but would say the most random things with the most fluent English, lol. Anyway, her dance was also good, and I’d say she was a bit more generous with the contact than the previous, but not all that much more. #3 – Miami Mix #1 (or #2, I dunno) - As the name suggest, a mixed White/Black dancer from Miami. She’s numbered because there is another mixed White/Black dancer from Miami there. They look related. Anyway, she was slim up top but had quite the plump bottom half. I assume everything is an act. So, to that, she played the friendly, naive, slightly air-headed role very well, lol. I don't' believe any woman from Miami looks like her and doesn’t have her wits about her. Her dance was about as good as the other two, but I was most drawn to her physically out the bunch, so I opted for the backroom. Her backroom dance was pretty good as she stepped up things a tad more (more two-way and very sensual), but all the things that I mentioned above came into play and neutered the experience. I probably got about 5-6 minutes of ‘privacy’ before all these other couples started showing up taking neighboring booths. They clumsily walk by your booth and have to maneuver through these tight spaces that have these awkward heavy tables in the way, so they take a while to actually get by your booth. Additionally, 10-min dances are apparently popular here. So, if you get a 20-minute dance, you’re going to get all kinds of 10-min dances starting and finishing during your time so the traffic can be pretty annoying for what’s supposed to be a “VIP” experience. Wrap-up: This was a textbook club experience. Guaranteed lookers with middling mileage. All the dancers were friendly enough and the venue is nice. However, the “VIP” experience was underwhelming and when you have nearby options that provide a more private and cheaper VIP experience with near similar quality dancers, it’s hard to justify (for me) returning here outside of special occasions or with friends/visitors. Happy clubbing gents.

My 5th OneGC excursion. Wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Admission: $20 (1 drink min.) Dance Prices: 1 song/$20 (3 for $40 specials every half hour or so). 15Min VIP/$120. 30Min VIP/$180 Venue: Two story venue in a commercial lot next to a Del Taco. Safe well-lit area. Bathroom on first floor. Club on second floor (you’ll be getting your cardio going to/from the bathroom). Standard doormen procedures (light pat down, ID check (no scan)). Club itself is nice. Two stages on opposing corners (with both sides active during peak times). Seating with tables spread evenly between stages and along the rails. Standard club lighting. Comfortable and nice-looking club. Clientele a little more mixed versus LAX area clubs (more non-Latino patrons than the LAX area). This is simply an observation and is expected of the demographics of this area in OC. Bar: Didn’t go to alcohol bar next door. Non-alcohol bar in club, $8/drink. Dancers: There were about 20-25 dancers. Pretty solid mix that skewed Latina, but with a fair number of ethnic options to your liking. Body types range the spectrum with most being fairly natural. There were two or three that were truly obese and seemed out of place given the other options. As well, there were a few dancers that had some extreme enhancements. But to each their own. Rating 7-8s. Dancer circulation was ok, but it seemed as though a lot of the dancers were locked in with (potential) customers. Stage Dances: Frequent, but the enthusiasm was inconsistent. Nude was teased on stage with some dancers showing more below than others. All got topless. However, it appeared patrons here don’t ride the rail too often (most just go up, drop cash, and head back to their seats). When it got busier, both stages were in use. Dancers would start on stage 1 for one 2-song set, then head to stage 2 for second set. Private Dances: Regular dances take place behind a chest high wall in front of the bar and are paid to the dance attendant (similar to the Rio in LA). Apparently, they can’t go topless in the floor dance area due the alcohol proximity with the alcohol bar next door (according to one of the dancers, didn’t bother to verify). So, unless your dancer is wearing a see-through top, breasts might not be continuously exposed throughout the dance…but that was not too much an issue on this night since the mileage was decent and the dancers going for the big sale and/or who are comfortable with you will expose them anyway. There are two VIP areas; one behind blacked-out glass doors opposite the bar where the 15-min dances take place and another directly behind the bar/in front of stage 1 where there are curtained glass booths for the 30-min dances. The 30-min rooms are bright with no dimmer options. All VIPs paid at bar. I spoiled myself this time with 5 dancers (with one VIP) – All dancers provided good-to-great mileage during the floor dances. #1 – Triple B – Black, beautiful, and with braces. Couldn’t be any older than 21. Seemed green but was very comfortable in her skin. Slim up top with a nice apple bottom. A great way to start the evening. Very good dance with enthusiasm and contact. Still finding her groove, but she was great given her supposed nascency. #2 – Short and Stout – Another Black beauty; the antithesis of the former. Wild proportions given her short stature. All natural and, let me tell you, her body was as soft as a pillow. Her dance was good but there were some things happening unrelated to her actual dance or personality (which were both great) that were a little off-putting and thus diminished the dance quality for me. Hopefully this was just an isolated event, because she was a good time otherwise. #3 – Ms. Doe-Eyed Ambiguity – A very slim cutey. Couldn’t tell what the hell she was as she could’ve said any racial group and I would’ve believed it (Arab/North African I later learned). But she had strikingly large and pretty eyes. Low pressure and entertained my dumb discourse. Went for the dances where she further cemented my growing preference for the “skinny” dancer. #4 – The “Co-Worker” – Her face looked exactly like my former co-worker (whom I was very fond of, lol). Black/Asian mix (I think) with a solid body shape. She had the “cool friend” vibe going on and was pretty easy to talk. She heavily talked up her dance game though, so I had to see if she lived up to her own hype. To my surprise, she actually did. If I were to describe it, I’d say she would be a “dancer’s favorite dancer”; very into the craft of the actual dance while maintaining the eroticism at an acceptable level...if that makes sense. #5 - Someone’s Hot Tia – Older vibrant Latina with that South American/Miami beach body that’s assisted with subtle enhancements on all fronts (and backs), excessive make-up, and that bottle-” blonde” hair with the dark roots. This is often a welcome sighting in many of these SoCal haunts as you know there’s a >90% chance of having an extra'vagant time. There was a group of them there cliqued up as well and, in all honesty, they were fairly interchangeable physically, lol. Anyway, she had the “direct” engagement you expect from dancers with limited command of the English language. However, she was more playful/flirty with it making it much more endearing. Went for the regular dances and of course she did not disappoint: Two-way UHM, face/neck kisses, sensual, and deep grinds. Sold. I decide for the VIP and after discussing specifics with my garbage Spanish, went off to the VIP where I proceeded to have one of my better VIP experiences to date. Wrap-up: I had mixed feelings coming to this place. However, it appears my feelings were misguided on this particular night. It's rare to have a damn near 100%-win rate and unrealistic to expect it often, but it feels great to have a virtually perfect night at a club. I enjoyed my time here and will likely revisit in the future. As always, happy clubbing gents.

Dropped by after briefly visiting VIP Cabaret. Admission: $11 day, $20 night Dance Prices: This place has a dance menu posted at every table. 1 song/30, 2 song/50. 15Min/140, 20min/180. They had a special running 30min/200 all night. They had longer dance times, but I don’t recall those prices. Venue: Venue is in industrial area. Street parking only but well-lit. Bouncers were cool, basic pat down, no ID scan. When I arrived, the place was packed. The only open seating was at the stage, which was fairly large with two poles. General seating consists of a sparse arrangement of tables and chairs with long booths and ‘cubby sections’ lining the walls and near the bar. Feels more like a restaurant than strip-club in certain ways especially with the old-style decor. Clientele primarily Latino but a few non-Latinos mixed in here and there. Pretty much guys of all ages were present. No riff-raff. Bar: Non-alcohol. $10/drink. Nothing remarkable. Minor drink hustle. Dancers: There were about 20 dancers. All Latina with the exception of 3 dancers who were White, Black, and Asian respectively. Some of the dancers had difficulty with English, but they do know how to get their point across with Google Translate. Age range 18-40s. Virtually any body type you can think of was there outside of the super obese or skinny. Some had enhancements, other less so. This night probably had one of the more physically balanced rosters I’ve seen in a while Stage Dances: Given the time, these were going on quite regularly. Great interactions to be had at the rail as dancers get close and personal. No problems with them getting nude on stage neither. Private Dances: The single/double dances and anything less than 15min take place in booths in a room beside (to the right of) the VIP area (pretty unique looking wall paper/design in that room). The VIP dances take place in a curtained area that contain 3 blocked off booths with mini-sofas (loveseat?) and good privacy. My dancer of choice was a beautiful Latina (kinda hard not to do that here). I first saw her on stage and was impressed immediately. She appeared to be in her 30s. It took her awhile to approach, but when she did, I was not declining. English was rough (had to use some of my broken Spanish), but her body was spectacular. She had that Miami body: fit, tan, with subtle enhancements in all the right places. We discuss VIP specifics, paid at the bar, then off we went to the races. A little aggressive/awkward start with her dance, but in the end, she made it work and I left more than satisfied. Wrap-up: On this night, there’s was little dancer circulation unless a showcase was called and despite being a moderately sized venue, the place could definitely add more general seating. Besides that, I didn’t really see any major difference compared to other clubs (I read some reviews noting this place was 'weird'). I still enjoyed myself and will likely return when I’m back in the valley. As always, happy clubbing gents.

Was in the valley for bit and decided to do a two-fer. Admission: $18 Dance Prices: Interesting price structure. They have the dance menu at the bar. All nude. 1 song/40, 2 song/60, 10min/80, 20min/140, 35min/250, 45min/$340, 60min/$440. The price per minute (PPM) is all over the place here. Note: There is also a 15min/100 'special' they run that’s not listed on the menu (best PPM if you care). The bartender will upsell the 15min if you’re purchasing a 10-minute dance. Though, I didn’t hear any announcements for the special by the DJ. Venue: Large venue located in a shopping center next to a Target, an event hall and a series of small shops (strip-mall). Parking ample. Pat down at entry. No ID scan. When I entered, the venue was divided in half by a tall curtain. The place is deceptively large. They explained to me that they open up the main stage side during busier times. The active side had a small single-poled stage. It’s a very nice venue IMO. Clientele was pretty slim at my arrival with a slight increase when I left. Bar: Non-alcohol, $8/drink. Dancers: When I arrived, there were 4 dancers. When I left, there were 14 dancers. How do I know this? At the entrance, they have a small whiteboard where they list the dancers on shift. Nice touch. It was accurate. Dancers were primarily White and Latina. I saw one Black dancer and no Asians. Good mix of body types. A few outliers on both sides of the curve, but nothing too egregious. Stage Dances: Stage work was pretty great considering the small area they had to work with. The chairs were a bit far from the stage so you’re not going to get too much interaction from them on stage unless you walk up to the stage (which you can do). However, it was awkward when the DJ apparently felt the need to remind the dancers that the club was a NUDE club. There was a series of dancers that really didn’t remove anything during their set. But to their credit, nobody was tipping at the rail (it was still fairly dead). I had a nice laugh at this. Shortly after, the dancers complied and proceeded to provide more revealing dances as the night progressed. Private Dances: I only got one dance (15min) as I wanted to check out another club in the area. Paid at the bar. These were done on the main stage side in the far corner. There were two areas back there. My dance took place on the right side with the open booths (nice furniture) where the dance attendant has direct line of sight. His back is turned to them, but he can easily turn around and see most everything if he wanted to. I didn’t ask, but I presumed the other area (left side) was reserved for the longer dances as they appeared to be more private (out of sight of the attendant). The dance was still nice though. My dancer was a friendly, thick Latina with ample tits and a hearty ass. Very enthusiastic with great 2-way, with the perfect amount of push-pull. It was a fun and satisfying dance. Although she kept peaking toward the attendant during the dance which was a little distracting. Wrap-up: This venue is nice. I would definitely like to see it at its full potential and get more dances. But I was satisfied. As always, happy clubbing gents.

Decided to stop by Cheerleaders before my flight back home. Prices: Free (daytime) Dance Prices: $20/song (semi-private), $170/15min (don’t recall other prices) Venue: Located near airport and all professional sports stadiums. Ample parking in shopping plaza/strip mall lot. ID check, metal detector, and pat down if necessary. This is a very large and modern venue. Probably the nicest venue I’ve been to in a while. Long, large bar that surrounds a long stage with multiple poles. Seating around bar and along walls (large booth seating). Tons of TVs. Color me impressed. Clientele was mixed (probably 15-20 customers). However, the place is so big that there could’ve been other customers and dancers out of view on the other side of the venue. Bar: Full bar with a full menu. Man. Their Cheesesteak Eggrolls were killer. I will fly back to Philly just for these eggrolls. Also had their smoked salmon sushi which was also delicious. Food prices were reasonable and left you satisfied (~$20 for my food bill.) Sodas were 3.25. Didn’t ask about alcohol. Dancers: There were about 10 dancers I could see in my vicinity. But again, the place is huge. There were probably 10 more that I couldn’t see on the other side. All were conventionally attractive and in-shape. Perhaps it was the time of day/week, but I only saw White and Latina dancers. I saw one mixed Black dancer and no Asians. Some tip walked, while others went right back to customers after the stage dances... Stage Dances: ...which were pretty good. Coming from a place where I can sit right on the rail, this is still something that I haven’t gotten quite used to out here. But it is what is. All the dancers got topless on stage and rocked the poles appropriately Private Dances: Considering my flight was in a few hours, I had to hope luck was on my side. I didn’t have time to watch every stage set. Most of the dancers were sitting in the wall booths either talking amongst themselves or, if alone, scrolling through their phones. So, I just dart boarded it and approached a solo dancer scrolling on her phone and hoped for the best. Exchanged pleasantries got to discussing dance specifics. She was Brazilian, had a killer natural body, and wore these nerdy glasses that sent the whole package over the edge, lol. She was cool to speak with as well. I opted for the standard lap dance at $20/song. The semi-private dance room was nice too. It had intense blue lighting on white background which made for an interesting optical experience. There were multiple booths in this room, but we were the only ones in there at this time. Anyway, the dancer did not disappoint. She was sensual, teasing, yet permissive of mutual contact (great mileage). I ended up doing 2 more dances to cap my time off and she kept it interesting the whole time. Wrap-up: I would come back here just for those eggrolls, but I guess I could see that dancer again as well, lol. Jokes aside, this is a nice spot. I can just imagine the madness after major events nearby though. Given the modern, state-of-the-art look of the location, the money that flows through there must be plentiful. Anyway, despite my short time here, I enjoyed it. Adios Philadelphia. Happy Clubbing gents. And again, thank you to the TUSCL Philly members for the intel.

First stop in Philly. I was way behind schedule on my itinerary so I couldn’t spend too much time here. But I figure I get a taste of the PO experience. Admission: Free (day time) Dance Prices: $20/4min semi-private room (door beads), $30/4min private room (door) Venue: Tiny venue directly off highway. Ample parking as it’s on a huge lot. No patdown, No ID check. The bar takes up 90% of the space inside. It’s tight. Stage is inside bar (this is new to me as an out-of-state visitor). Clientele at this time was mainly 40+ and white. Music was all rock/80’s pop music during this time. Plenty of TVs around. Probably about 6 customers at this time. Bar: Full bar. $6/beer. Friendly bartender (Tisha?). Dancer drink prices $8/drink (at least the one I bought my dancer) Dancers: All black of varying complexions and shapes. There were about 6-7 dancers during this time Stage Dances: As mentioned above, as a visitor from the West Coast, it was interesting see the stage in the bar. I was told you can “throw” tips on stage if you want, but it’s pretty good distance from the bar stool to the stage, plus it seemed in bad form to do that. I was instructed of the tip walk (which other TUSCL members have informed me about.) and that seemed more reasonable, lol. Dancers did get topless on stage. Private Dances: I read about the bar stool dances in other reviews, but a live viewing is worth a thousand words. I observed some pretty intense bar stool dances taking place. Looked fun as hell honestly. But alas, I do prefer more privacy. A tall, thicker number approached and we initiated some conversation. As the conversation progressed, the touching escalated. I’ve learned that PO tells a certain type of time. If you can read the clock (and are interested), you’re in for a good time. I opted for 3 dances in the $30 room (the one closest to the entrance.) It’s fully mirrored with red lighting. I liked it. The dancer was fully game but I opted for a more pedestrian experience. UHM with free roam was what it was about. Less of dance and more of a groper’s delight, lol. By the end of the time, I was definitely tempted to extend my time... Wrap-up: ...However, I had another 90 minute drive ahead of me and wanted to get to my destination at a reasonable hour. PO is everything that it was described to be previous reviews. If you’re seeking a nice sensual dance, you may or may not get that. But if you’re seeking more, it seems you can definitely get that with the right one. Happy clubbing gents. And thanks again to the Philly PLs who gave me the lowdown.

My first GC experience in Mass. Admission: $20 cover Dance Prices: $40/1song, $60/2 song, $100/3 songs; didn’t inquire about longer times. Venue: Neutral looking area. Ample well-lit parking. Entrance confused me. There are two doors you go through before getting inside club. My dumbass waited at the 2nd door thinking I needed to be buzzed or escorted in. Didn’t realize it was open also, lol. Anyway, no pat down but metal detector in use. ID scanned. Inside Large rectangular venue. Long “runway” stage and rail with one pole at the entrance to the stage (in front of DJ booth). Somewhat dated interior, but serviceable. Clientele was all over the place as well. There was also Boston PD (or armed security) posted inside at the entrance toward the later part of my night (definitely not the best sign.) Bar: Really long bar. $8 dollar sodas. No drink hustle I was aware of. Can be slow at times Dancers: Plenty of dancers with all races and shapes represented (except Asian). Well over 20 dancers. A whole lot of enhancements walking around. There were also a lot of pasties which I wasn’t too familiar (or comfortable) with. There was this vulture/shark crew chilling at the table closest to the entrance. I should’ve taken heed to my initial reservation with this group, but alas another lesson was learned... Stage Dances: Very inconsistent. Some dancers got topless with little hesitation. Other dancers kept everything on despite tips present at the rail. Also, the stage dance process is interesting. The pole is at the entrance of the stage, which happens to be on the opposite side of the rail seating. Dancers start at the pole for a song, so you need binoculars to see them dance on the pole if your seated on the end of the runway. They'll either wait until their next song to walk toward the seating or immediately if there are tips on the runway. This was a different experience, not worse or better, just different. There are also couches by the pole that the dancers work on. I think this is just a result of the club size. Maybe someone else can explain the rationale behind the club's layout. Private Dances: I went with 3 different dancers at the 100/3 rate. The blue-lit room (champagne room) was cool with the mirrors, but really distracting because customers and dancers are constantly entering/exiting the area through door beads. #1 – Black dancer who was personable on stage. Seemed cool and one was of the few great-bodied natural dancers I saw that night. However, the dance was peppered with constant requests for tips. Not sure why dancers do this, because it ruins every dance. She didn’t even remove her top during the dance and the mileage was medium at best. Complete waste. #2 – Dominican dancer with mousy face from the shark table. She had a great body, but she had pasties on. Two red flags already but I wanted to see how she danced. I’m not groper, and I always ask what the limits are. As well, I never make the first move to touch. I always let dancers take my hands and place them wherever they deem okay. 95% of the time, after passing the weirdo test, dancers generally loosen up and let my hands go where they may within reason. This was that other 5%. Mechanical dance with zero sensuality. Additionally, she had the nerve to ask for $20 tip because my hands grazed her pastied breasts (I did not deliberately touch her breast because I didn’t get a clear signal from her if it was cool). As well, I’m 99% sure she shorted me a song. Another complete waste. As well, when we exited the room, she swiftly handed money to some guy (likely a pimp). That bothered me. #3 – BBW New Yorker who didn’t make this night a complete waste. She may have been Latina, but I didn’t ask. She was a big girl who had a suspiciously flat stomach, lol. She also had the prettiest face in the club and some huge assets. She was also very personable on and off the stage (she also took her clothes off on stage, winning). We had a good conversation after her stage set, where she gave me a lot of helpful information about my next destination on my trip. We later head to the dance room where she proceeds to give a great no-nonsense dance. Mileage was great (2-way), her dance was sensual, and her demeanor was enthusiastic. Thank you, babe. You saved the night, and I did all the activities you suggested at my next destination (except the restaurant because I was exhausted after everything else). Wrap-up: As a visitor to Boston/Revere, I can't really say if this is a common experience around here. And I try to be as unbiased as possible but it's tough because I club in SoCal and the options are plentiful. But I left this place underwhelmed. Dancer #3 was great all around and if all dancers could be like her, the world would be a better place, lol. Avoid the Dominican shark table, any pastied dancer, and focus on the dancers that actually take their clothes off on stage and you may enjoy your time more than I did.

While in the OC, I decided to drop by TJ's. Admission: $15 Dances: 40$/1 song (they do 2 for $40 all the time though). $120/5 song, $150/15min VIP, $250/30min VIP Booth w/couch, $300/30min VIP Room w/mattress. Venue: In strip mall next to a Taco Bell. Safe-ish area with ample parking. No pat down or ID scan. Inside is a square venue with stage in center and bar in right corner. Seating along walls of venue and around stage. The stage does have a pole now (older reviews stated there was no pole). Apparently, they are going through (or went through) some recent renovations. Clientele spanned the whole range; younger 20-somethings up to older 50+ dudes. I just wish they closed the front door during the day as the sunshine glaring through took away from the ambiance of the venue. Bar: Non-alcoholic. No drink hustle. $8/drink. Dancers: There were about 10 dancers when I arrived. Body types ranged from slim to thick. Age range 20s to 40s (and one who was possibly in her 50’s). Primarily Latina and White. I believe I saw one Black dancer (a spinner) but I didn’t see any Asians dancers. Approaches were inconsistent, but that may have been due to the number of dancers at the time. Some were more forward, others were borderline avoidant, but all were friendly. But it did seem that there were a lot of regulars so there weren’t too many dancers circulating. Stage Dances: Few and far between. When they did occur, they were alright, but I’ve gathered that this place ain’t about the stage. I recall 15-20 minutes between stage dances. Dances: Front room dances take place either in booths on the entrance-side or on the opposite side near the bar. The bar-side booths are very dark so make sure you gather everything before you head out (if you take things out of your pockets). Songs for the front room dances are short (<2 min). $150/$250 VIPs take place in more private curtained booths on small couches. $300 VIPs take place in the in the back in a private room with a “bed” and a functioning door. And yes, there is a coat hanger on the door. Front room dances paid directly to dancer and VIP rooms are paid at the bar. I had dances with three (3) dancers – all Latina. 1 – The utility girl – mid 20’s. Tipped her on stage. When done, she approached. Upon closer look, not my typical choice (didn’t bring in my glasses), but she danced pretty well on stage. Went for the 2-for-1. She wasn’t bad (decent mileage) but I wasn’t feeling it with her overall as she seemed high as a kite. 2 – Slim beauty – early 20s. Great, tight, and youthful body. Man, to be 20 again, lol. Gave a newbie vibe, but her dances said otherwise. A natural talent who provided just enough mileage to leave you wanting more. I later learned that she’s a very popular dancer in these TUSCL parts as I seen her name often mentioned in many reviews. I get it, lol. I may need to pursue VIP with her in the future. 3 – The Veteran – mid-late 30s. Thicker with eyes that had a story or two to tell. Where she lacked in youth, she made up for in experience. She also had ass, lol. Very direct and provided great dances. Discussed VIP specifics and decided to go for it. I enjoyed my time with her in the VIP. Wrap-up: I really want to see this place at night. Apparently, there’s significantly more dancers. Very promising. Mileage is high around these parts. I enjoyed myself. You probably will too. As always, happy clubbing gents.

Prices: $20 cover. Dances: 1 song $20/topless, $40/nude, 3 song VIP $120 Venue: Located in standalone lot in commercial area. Went during the daytime but area appears to be safe. Cool doorman with standard routine (pat down). No ID scan. Inside the club, really “vintage” décor. Feels like you stepped out of a time machine into the 80s. But I kinda liked it. I've seen reviews that said the place was dark, but I thought it was decently lit with “warm” lighting unlike a lot of other clubs that have taken to the modern dark nightclub aesthetic with all the strobes/RGB lighting. Bar directly in front of entrance with stage to the right of entrance. Seating along walls of club with single seating and tables around the stage. I found it interesting that the bathroom was directly in front of the stage. Clientele around this time were all old dudes (60+). Bar: Non-alcoholic. Low drink hustle. $7 dollar Drinks are standard. Dancers: There were about 7 dancers when I arrived. A few older, a few thicker, and one that you could see at Rhino (she didn’t arrive until much later though). Only saw Latino and White. No Black or Asian during this time. They approached you at a reasonable rate and were low pressure. Stage Dances: Dancers actually did decent stage shows and they were relatively frequent given the lack of customers during this time. Dancers show everything on stage depending on tips. Dances: Front room dances are done in the open so completely visible to all. VIP dances done in the back in small, curtained booths. I thought it was cool that there was a neon sign that said “VIP” in the doorway headed to the area. I guess it doesn’t take much to catch my interest, lol. Dances are paid directly to dancer (no middleman like many other places in SoCal.) Just had one dancer due to time constraints. 1 - Friendly older Latina. Great body, IMO. Approached while at the bar. Sat down and she jumped in my lap. Real touchy and felt great. She was arousing. Went for the front room dance. Note: But it doesn’t matter, the dances were still UHM. She satisfied enough to go for additional dances in the back. Did not disappoint. However, 3/120 is definitely overpriced compared to the COI/OneGC clubs. Song lengths don’t seem too short, but 3 songs go by way too fast (about 9-10 min). Wrap-up: This is an interesting spot. If you’re in the area or headed to or from the casino (Yaamava’), this is a decent place for quick stop. The value may not be the best, but I believe you can find what you’re looking for if you’re willing to make a few compromises. Dancer quality may skew below the bigger clubs, but I think that’s part of the appeal. Plus, the mileage was super high. As always, happy clubbing gents.

Location #4 on my OneGC journey. Prices: $5 cover (no drink minimums). Dances - $20/dance, 3 for 2 specials ($40/3 songs), $65/10min (non-VIP). $130/15min (VIP). Venue: Well lit parking lot. Standard pat down with an ID scan. Venue interior is probably the nicest of the OneGC locations in COI. Large, open area with stage set center with multiple poles (at times they’ll have two dancers on stage working each pole). Ample seating available. Single chairs dispersed throughout with VIP cordoned off bench seating lining the walls of the venue. Primarily Latino clientele. Private dances take place along the side to the left of the stage. One side has booth seats on opposite wall sides (facing the same direction with back of the booth facing the entrance to the area, so you have decent privacy). The other side has a line of booth seats on one wall side (less private unless your are toward the far end of the line). Bar: Full Bar. I didn’t have any alcohol so don’t know prices. Club soda was ‘free’ but tips were encouraged. Drink hustle present but not too egregious Dancers: I arrived around 11pm and there were about 15-20 dancers scattered about. Good variety of body types (natural and man-made). Primarily Latina dancers with a few white and black dancers. Didn’t see any Asian dancers. Stage Dances: These were pretty good. As mentioned before, they’ll at times have 2 dancers on stage simultaneously. That’s something I haven’t in a while. Topless only club so panties stay on…. Dances: 4 dancers (#1-3 @ $65/10min & #4 @ 2x $40/3 songs) 1 – White (?) – Initially thought she was Eastern European given her accent but, upon further inquiry, learned that she was Middle Eastern. Natural thick body. She was charming and entertained our conversation pretty well. Went back for dances and she was pretty good. Good mileage and very playful with her dance. She felt as thick as she looked (firm, not flabby). The only thing I’d say negative was that she kept her top on most of the dance; occasionally moving the bikini to the side to reveal her breasts. Again, the mileage was good, but she could’ve saved herself the trouble and just removed the top. 2 – Black #1– Chocolate skinned petite beauty who sounded like an Inglewood chick disguising her accent with the “valley-girl” accent from the movie Clueless. She also sounded pretty “spaced out” like she was on an edible (Her scent was exquisite and had no weed smell, so I presumed she might have had an edible...or something else, lol). Her fit, natural body had me sold. Her dance was also pretty good. Average mileage but she had just the softest body that felt so nice. However unlike most dancers, she didn’t grind on my...”arousal”, lol. Every time she felt it, she backed off a bit. I initially thought it was a tease, but turned out to be something that she just does (with me, lol) so her grinds were a bit hit or miss. Overall she was still good though. I presume she might let loose on you if she’s more comfortable with you...or not, lol. 3 – Black #2 – Caramel skinned thick brick-house with a unique stage dance gimmick move. She caught my attention immediately when I first entered the club, but she vanished for a bit before she came back out and approached me. Speaking to her, you can tell she definitely has an edge to her. Had a fairly long conversation (granted it was pretty one-sided on her part) and then proceeded to dances. She danced just the way she looked and sounded, which was expected, lol. Aggressive, heavy deep grinding, great 2-way contact, and she added in some interesting acrobatic tricks for good measure. Definitely entertaining. 4 – Latina – Bubbly personality woman with skinny legs, lol. Nothing out of this world with her appearance but she entertained the conversation for a bit and over time, she grew on me. Went for dances and she was way more arousing than expected. Like she hit a button for me. She was kind of a goofball too which was a welcome change of pace from the more “serious” dancers. She was generous with the 2-way. She also had me stand up and dance/grind with her for little bit which was pretty funny. She was fun enough for an additional set of dances. Wrap-up: If you want more of guarantee of high mileage and ITC activities, Paradise and Synn may be your best bet. However, Satin was not a bad experience for me. It’s a nice(r) venue with alcohol and had plenty of lookers roaming about. Mileage was decent for topless only and it can definitely hit the spot for those seeking a more pedestrian experience at the club while not breaking the bank. As always, happy clubbing gents.

On a whim, decided to go to the Jet Strip. I’ve passed by this place for years for work in the area, but never thought to stop in. Prices: $11 cover (no drink minimums). Drinks – $5 (I only order club soda). Dances - $30/topless, $40/nude, 3 for 2 specials ($80/3 songs nude), $175 per 15min VIP. Venue: Small, Tight, and grimy. T-shaped stage with a ‘pit’ at the bottom of the “T”. Private Dances take place in the back in the chairs whose cleanliness I question. They looked very sloppy and unhygienic; sofa chairs loosely covered with cheap red bed sheets. I didn’t feel too comfortable sitting in them honestly. As well, every booth has two cameras directly overhead. Whether they are functional is the question, lol. VIP dances appear take place in a room with bed and a door (not sure if there were cameras there since I didn’t do any VIP). Those rooms also didn’t look that clean. It was pretty dead the whole night with no more than 7-8 patrons in the building during my stay there. Clientele was mixed with young, middle-age, and elderly. Bar: Non-alcohol with no drink hustle. Dancers: Slim pickings for a Tuesday. They were about 8-9 dancers my entire time there. Very ‘middle of the road’ in terms of quality with 1 or 2 standouts. All appeared to be natural. Even mix of races. Approaches weren’t too frequent despite the lack of clientele. Some dancers vanished into the dressing room for a while before coming out for air much later in the night, lol. Stage Dances: Decent. One dancer in particular was a pole master and it showed in her physique (toned shoulders and arms). The rest were standard fare. Dances: 4 dancers this time; covered the entire rainbow (all were 3 for 2) 1 – White – Her stage dance looked very novice so when she approached me, I wasn’t sure if wanted to invest in this one. Her body was average, but she had no tattoos that I saw and she had some ass. Her conversation revealed she was very new to the industry. She wasn’t too pushy and fell pretty deep into our mindless conversation. After a little time, I decided to give her a shot. Her nascent dancing career was quite evident during this dance. She only had two moves in her arsenal: front-facing wiggle and rear-facing wiggle. Both moves were performed at a rhythm independent of the music playing and were not really sensual. As well, the mileage was virtually zero and her grinds were just shy of air-dance territory. She definitely needs a mentor to help her out. I wish her the best in her career because she seemed like sweetheart. 2 – Black – This was the dancer with the great stage show. I requested a dance from her after stage work. Up close, I got to see her striations in her arms and shoulders. She reminded me of that Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. I like it, lol. She clearly stays in the gym. She’s by no means big, but she is very lean (like a fitness competitor). But alas, her private dance was just okay. She was better than the previous, but the mileage was still weak. She wasn’t very communicative either. To each their own, I guess. 3 – Latina - Great bodied Latina dancer. Gave me “mercenary dancer” vibes, lol. Claimed she used to dance in Miami. I believe it given her aesthetic. Briefly chat then head to the dances. She was a significantly better dancer than the previous dancers but the mileage was probably around ‘medium’. Occasional squeezes above and below, but nothing to write home about. She also separated too often and danced for stretches of time with zero contact. When she was on me, it was great though, lol. 4 – Asian – I didn’t ask, but this dancer appeared to be half-Asian, half-something else (probably white). Very pretty face with a thick ass. She approached, made decent conversation, and then off we went to the dances. She was the best dancer out of the 4. Kept constant contact, more sensual, more liberal with reasonable 2-way, good acting with breathing and moans, and just more comfortable in dancing in general. She was a fun dance. Wrap-up: Jet Strip is fine if you’re near the area for some reason (close to LAX/Sofi Stadium/Kia Forum/Intuit Dome). But if you’re willing to drive an extra 10 minutes down the 105, your dollar will go significantly further at the Rio GC (especially if you go on days with their cheap specials). Dancer #4 may be worth a return, but the club itself is average at best with low/inconsistent mileage. YMMV, but as always, happy clubbing gents.

Location #3 in my OneGC adventure. Decided to check out their Friday dayshift (around 2pm). Prices: Cover - $15 (one drink minimum). Drinks $8 (non-alc). Dance Specials: 3 song/$40 and $180/30min. Venue: It’s in a strip mall directly in front of a busy street. So very open and visible in the daytime. Security standard (pat down, no ID scan). Square venue with multi-rowed bench seating along 3 sides of the square with the fourth side housing the bar. Clientele during this time of day skewed toward older guys. Doorman/attendants all were cool/friendly. Good size stage in center with ample seating. Privates are done in a back room where there are two rows of booths on opposite wall sides (i.e. you can see other people getting dances in front of you if they choose to sit across from you). VIPs are done in private rooms with curtains and adjustable lighting (paid at the bar). The good thing about these VIP rooms is that they (at least the one I was in) have a twin-sized leatherette futon in lengthwise orientation so you can actually lay down and extend your legs. As one dancer aptly put, “It’s like a huge dentist chair!”, lol. The bad thing about these VIP rooms is that the DJ’s speaker is too loud (or the room acoustics were crazy), so anytime he said something on his mic, it sounded as though he was directly behind you and the dancer. It was pretty distracting during the VIP dance. Bar: Non-alcohol at $8/drink. Drink hustle was not too bad (Synn still holds the title of worst drink hustle, IMO.) Dancers: When I got there, there were about 7 or 8 dancers just hanging around on their phones. By about 3pm, there were over a dozen with a few more that I saw in the dressing room. Just note, there were a good number of “gorditas” as well as older dancers there. More power to them as they were rockin’ it with confidence. Demo skews Latina, but there were a number of Black and White (appearing) dancers. Didn’t see any Asian dancers. Approaches were frequent, but hustle was fairly low during this time Stage Dances: Decent showing on the stage dances. Again, some of these women were quite large, so I was even more impressed when they did some of their acrobatics. Not too many customers at the rail though, so the dancers weren’t getting too wild. Dances: I received dances from 2 dancers. 1 – The Little Spinner (3/$40 + 180/30min) – This petite, very slim Latina dancer approaches and politely asked to sit down. We began chit-chat. She’s very cute (she had those big snuffleupagus eyelashes, lol). She had this sort of gothic chola vibe that was appealing. Very mellow and kept it light with the pressure. She offered some dances, and I obliged. Pretty hot dance. Though slim built, she wasn’t bony and had very nice skin. Also, she was so light I felt my pelvis was safe from even her hardest grinds, lol. Very sensual with her moves, great 2-way contact, and took her time with the dance. Went for the VIP after that and had just the perfect time. Needless to say, this woman helped me develop a new appreciation for the spinner. 2 – Super Thickness (3/$40 + 180/30min) - After a decent break, another dancer caught my eye. She was black, thick (not obese), naturally busty (Ds), with all the trimmings. She must have caught my glances because she was on me swiftly. I personally kept the chit-chat short as I already knew I wanted to get the dances. I’m sure she appreciated that too, lol. We do the 3/40 and she was a trooper. Real dense body with the heavy assets. Completely different from the spinner but enticing in her own ways. She was not shy with the 2-way and was heavy on the pelvic grinding (but then again, everything felt heavy after that spinner, lol). She was also bit more ‘mechanical’ than the spinner, but still a great time. Afterwards, I opted for the VIP. Great VIP because she was damn thick in all the right places and the mileage was great, but think I was kind of burned out from the spinner. I need to pace myself in the future, lol. Wrap-Up: I decided to book it early enough to avoid the hellish traffic. I really like the venue and the VIP rooms (especially compared to Synn which had really cramped rooms). The talent pool was all over the place, so who knows what you're going to find, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The spinner may be worth a return. I think I may have overdone it with the 2nd VIP though. You live and learn. Happy clubbing gents.

Thursday Night at the Rio Another escapade through the OneGC universe. I’m going to try to go to all the OneGC spots here in SoCal and document them as such. I’ve been here before on two occasions in 2018 and 2022 respectively. Both times were unplanned outings with friends (with little money spent) so this would be the first solo venture I’d take here. Prices: Cover - $20 (one drink minimum) – Drinks - $10 (no alcohol served). Dance Specials: 3 song/$40, $80/15min VIP Venue: Hoodish industrial area. Security staff standard (they do scan ID though). Medium sized venue with a single pole stage in center. Seating at tip rail, single chairs in rows on opposite sides of the stage, and bench seating along the other sides of the stage and along the back wall near the entrance. Private dances take place behind a chest-high wall in little booths behind the bench seating. VIP dances take place in rooms with glass doors. There are VIP rooms on both sides of the venue. Though they don’t seem private because of the glass, there’s actually very little visibility into the actual room when the light is off. When I did one of my VIPs, I had no clue that there was another dancer/customer in the VIP room across from mine until they turned on their light in the room. As well, some of the VIP rooms are obstructed by the chest high wall, adding additional privacy. Clientele was unremarkable as I didn’t notice any overly hood or riff-raff there (it was early though, so who knows who will show up later). Bar: Non-alcohol at $10/drink. Drink hustle is lower here compared to other places. Dancers: I got there around 9p, so it was still dead. There were probably 7 dancers hanging around. However, by about 10p, it picked up substantially. At around 11p or so they did their stage showcase where they had all the dancers walk around the stage for specials and I counted 15 dancers (this excludes the dancers that were doing privates/VIPs). The variety was typical of this area in SoCal; primarily Latinas, with a few Black and White (appearing) dancers. There was an Asian or two as well. Bodies range from smoking hot to “at least she’s trying.” You’ll find what you’re looking for. I got approached fairly often, but again, I was early with limited patronage. Approaches may get leaner with more customers present. Stage Dances: The dancers I saw on stage worked it very well. Good acrobatics from the nimble and great stage presence from the less nimble. Didn’t spend to much time there though this visit. Dances: As mentioned above, they ran their 3/$40 and $80/15 min VIP specials. I received dances from 3 dancers 1 – The Blandest of Asian ($80/15min) – She approached me shortly after I entered the place so I already knew the deal. Played up the whole “Asian” thing which I found a bit off-putting, but I figured I see what she’s working with. She went right for the VIP pitch. I obliged. Fellas...do not do this. Always test drive first. Anyway, went to the VIP and commenced the night. I hate to be so judgmental, but she was one of the most boring VIP experiences I’ve ever had. Minimum sensuality in her dance, totally phoned in. As well, her ‘gimmick’ is that she’s a “thick” Asian with a booty (BBL I believe), but her body just didn’t do it for me. I checked out at about the 5-minute mark and kind of phoned it in myself for the rest of the time, lol. And again, she kept making these Asian allusions like “you ever been with an Asian?”, or “you ever have Korean BBQ?”, etc. Now, I know some dudes might like that shit and she probably gets a lot of customers due to the sole fact that she’s that rare Asian, but as a non-Asian, that shit bugged me for some reason (note: I spent half my life in the most Asian populated state in our country, nearly married an Asian women after a multi-year relationship, and have plenty of Asian friends and acquaintances. Stop it lady, lol.) Anyway. You may have a better time. I (mentally) laughed later on in the night when she asked if was ready for round 2. No thanks, ma’am. Strike 1. 2 – GPS “Arianna Grande” (3/$40 + $20) – Tiny little Latina thing who reminded me of Arianna Grande. She had these thick long braids that looked way too big for her little head, but the body was very nice. She approached while I was at the bar making change and asked if she could sit with me afterwards. When done, she swiftly sat on my lap with her little soft ass, so we’re already to a good start, I think. After chatting for a bit, she asks me how much I’d tip if she went on stage. I said it would depend on how good the performance was. She then asked me if I’d tip her $40 dollars for a stage dance. I told her that was ridiculous and would rather just buy 3 lap dances…Smooth… So, I go for the 3/40. When we get to the booth, she then states that she charges $20 more for touching. This is the first time here I’ve ever had a dancer upsell 2-way touching for the 3/40 dance. I knew that was BS, but I had already paid the 40 at the podium and wasn’t going to nickel and dime so I obliged. Fellas...do not do this. Of course it wasn’t worth it. She danced erratically and I was still mildly irritated about the hustle play. So much so that I barely even touched her. When done, I just got up and left the area. No cordials or anything. Live and learn. Strike 2. 3 – The Sporty Stoner (3/$40 + $160/30min) - Feeling kind of disappointed with the first 2 engagements, I decided to kick back for a little bit and just enjoy the stage shows for a bit. Plenty of approaches during this time (including the bland Asian) but declined all. I saw one dancer that piqued my interest as she was kind of nervously fidgeting on the bench seating. Turns out, she was next up on stage. When she gets on stage, I make my way to the stage to show some appreciation then head back to my seat. When I return to my seat, another dancer comes and clumsily sits by me. A tallish, caramel-skinned black (mixed?) woman with a sporty body, a slight hint of marijuana smell, and a pair of sleepy eyes to match then introduces herself. We get to talking. A bit of slow start because of the weed, but she was pretty cool to talk to. Zero pressure/hustle and just went the flow. Talked for a good 5+ minutes before I requested the dances since she never asked. We do the 3/40 and this woman showed me the professional that she truly is (5+ years in the industry IIRC). For one, despite her slim & sporty build, she had deceptively large assets up top and below. That was a definite plus. She was soft, sensual, had great rhythm, 2-way HM contact (that wasn’t an extra $20, lol), and kept it easy on the pelvis-crushing moves. She also seemed like she was having genuine fun and into what she was doing. To me, that was just as appealing as everything else. Without hesitation, I went for the 160/30min. This woman was even better in VIP. Definitely worth the light weed smell, lol. Maybe I’ve been overlooking a critical marker for a solid dancer. I’ll definitely be keeping a look out for those weeded up dancers from here on out. Home Run. Wrap-up: I left the club around midnight. It was picking up a bit. Apparently, from what the dancers were telling me, their highest traffic time is at around 2am (they close at 6am Thurs-Sat), which I think is crazy but makes sense as all the other places (SC and non-SC) close at 2am. I’d happily return here for Sporty, but as always, YMMV. Be mindful of the little hustlers and don’t blind purchase any dances. Happy clubbing gents.

Decided to redeem myself in a way as my previous club outing was fun but didn’t take full advantage of the opportunities presented. First time visit. Arrival time: 6:30pm (note – see “Dancers” section) Venue: If you seen one description of the place, you’ve seen them all. The location is a strip mall with plenty of light and visibility (i.e. relatively safe). I arrived early enough for easy parking in front of the building. I believe there is Valet service, but I’m not sure where they park the cars. Doorman doing his job with no issue (obligatory pat down). Admission: $20 with one drink minimum. Re-entry is permitted (I had to step out for a lengthy phone call). I know some clubs are stricter on this so that’s cool to know. Very modest and slightly dated interior with standard SC accoutrements. Bar: Non-alcohol bar. $8 dollar drinks, no biggie. However, the waitresses instantly pounce you once you have a dancer by your side. Like they teleport to your location once a dancer introduces herself. They also pounce you when you go for privates. I felt the breath of one of the waitresses on neck as she followed me and a dancer to the privates area. It’s awkward to say the least but they’re just doing their job (Alcohol sells itself. Soda needs a bit more help I guess, lol). I feel like there’s a better way to do this to make it less awkward, but I haven’t thought of a way yet. I know Rio in LA is also non-alcoholic, but I don’t recall them being as pushy with the drink service. Note: You don’t have to buy every dancer a drink. Dancers: Because I arrived at 6:30pm, I had a chance to observe the shift change for about an hour. The place was dead as most of the day-shift dancers were either gone or on their way out. There were at most 3 or so dancers periodically wandering about the venue with stage dances few and far between. I did enjoy a private dance (or two, lol) with a day-shift sweetheart (explained below). However, at about 7:30p, things pick up and more dancers (and patrons) start rolling in. By about 9:00p, it’s quite active with around 20+ dancers. Their website’s roll call is accurate and highly recommended viewing before heading there. Thick, slim, tall, short, a couple of Jessica-Rabbit types, BBL, Black, Mixed, Latina, White, Asian, pretty much all you could ask for. And all were fairly polite with only a few that were a tad aggressive. Stage Dances: I genuinely enjoy stage dances. So, I was a bit disappointed of how short a lot the stage dances were. Some of the dancers put some legitimate effort on stage, but most sort of just walked up there uninspired (in my opinion). Most get topless. Some remove panties. I guess it depends on the dancer tip amounts. As I understand it, many of the dancers don’t even need to stage dance so that may contribute to the lackluster showing. Private Dances: They had their standard 3/$40 special going as well as their VIP $180/30min. I had privates with three dancers + a VIP. M*ya (Private x2): Day-shift sweetheart. Very humble and down to earth. Petite stout Latina with backside thickness that called to me. We had nice non-pushy chat on the floor before we headed back for privates (3/40). She definitely knew how to work with what she got, and I was thoroughly enjoying myself. She was very deliberate and smooth with her moves with excellent body contact (good HM). Not too rushy or bouncy. Easy conversation during the dance too. I enjoyed her company enough to go an additional 3/40 which did not disappoint. Y*si (Private): This woman’s body was the literal definition of “bounce”. Ample up top and below with parabolic curves. She also had this slow sexy walk that was made me a little weak. She was one of the Jessica Rabbits in the building. She was a hard/direct seller though and her English wasn’t that great (at least with me, who knows if she was putting on a strong accent) and my Spanish is terrible. Her body was out of this world though, so I just had to have a dance. I told her I’d do the 3/40. While walking to the privates area, she continued to try and up-sell me the 180/30. She also tried to tell the attendant something completely different than what we agreed to. The attendant looked at me confusingly. I kindly let him know that I’m only doing 3/40 and he obliged. At this point, it’s already somewhat awkward, so my head is not quite all there in the moment, but I’m already committed, and I need to see how she moves, lol. She starts the dance and it’s very aggressive with hard grinding, bounce moves, and the like. Not necessarily my thing, but it was definitely not bad. Although she felt as good as she looked (good HM), she did little bit too much overacting for my taste with the forced heavy breathing/panting stuff (no hate, some people like that heavy breathing/panting stuff and there are ways to smoothly pepper it throughout a LD, but if you START the dance off with a loud pant out of nowhere, then I’m raising eyebrows, lol). And again, during the dance mind you, she continued the VIP up-sell attempts. That definitely turned me off a bit more. After the dances were done, she again went for the up-sell (at least understandable at the end of the dance). I politely decline and made my way back to the floor. She was damn sexy and not a bad dancer, but she was too aggressive for me. But for my brothers with a skillful command of the Spanish language and a taste for aggression with their dancers, this is your lady. C******n (Private + VIP 180/30): She’s a star and she knows it. Tall, black, slim, and stacked with one of the most aesthetically pleasing bodies I’ve ever seen. Her face looks a mix between Ashanti and Meagan Good. She had this endearing arrogance but at the same time she was very down to earth, lol. She’s a consummate professional and from what I gathered, she’s (understandably) one of the more popular dancers there. Being there so early, I was fortunate enough to be one of the first in queue for her. She approaches and after some brief banter and a few laughs, I eagerly agreed to a private. Her body was even better up close. That perfect (to me) build. Flawless skin, perfect backside with plenty upstairs to compliment. Her dances had perfect pacing, body contact on point, generous HM. Just a top-notch experience. She got me gents. I had to keep this going, lol. Enter the VIP. (Note: you pay at the bar. It does briefly break the immersion as you have to leave the privates area, go to the bar, wait for the dancer to do whatever she needs to do, then go back through the privates area to get to the VIP rooms). The VIP room we were in was a bit cramped but had an actual door so privacy was decent (the other rooms I believe only have a curtain). Anyway, she was an even better delight in the VIP. We talked for a little bit more (very easy to talk to) and then resumed activity. Again, she just knew all the right buttons to press for me. Everything was kicked up exponentially compared to privates (within reason). A legit 30 minutes flew by. This woman had me lost in space and time. Definitely top tier (and again, she knows it). Wrap-up: When I left the club at 10pm, it was packed to the brim. There were probably 30+ dancers at this point. Wild stuff. Even though I had to sit around for an hour during the dead period, I’m happy I arrived early enough to avoid that late night zoo. As always, YMMV, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will likely return in the near future. Happy clubbing gents.

Parking: Either Valet (attended Covered Garage if early enough) at $7, or in the back (free, unattended , dark and shady unless full). I got the valet parking. Seemed silly as my car was literally parked 20 ft from both the club entrance and garage entrance, but in the end, I do appreciate the attendance. Venue: Doorman was nice enough. Standard admission procedures. Nothing out of the ordinary. Change (dollar bills) can be made here if you don't want to do it at the bar some reason. It had been over five years since I've been inside this club so I was surprised to see how much more open the venue was (not a fan of the cramped clubs). Logical bar and seating arrangement with ample seating around the stage and throughout the venue. I arrived somewhat early (9pm-ish) so there were only about maybe 10 or so patrons. I don't drink much, but the servers were nice and quick with my soda orders ($5/soda). The club never really got too packed either. It was one of the dancer's b-day so they had balloons and such for the occasion. Dancers: I beleive there were about 15-20 total dancers. All the dancers were pretty with a variety of body types to appease most patrons. Petite, slim, voluptuous, tall, thick/'dense', whatever you wanted to see was there. Most appeared natural too (unless they had immaculate work done, lol.) The only thing I would mention about the dancers was that they were all either latina or, to a lesser extent, white. I believe there were two mixed race (black/white?) fair-skinned women as well. This is to be expected of the demographics of the area. However, if you're looking for a bit more racial variety (chocolate black or asian), you would have been disappointed this night (I don't know about their other nights). Stage Dances: I spent the night only minding the stage. Most of the dancers impressed me on the stage. I'm into actually pole moves and dance routines so there was no shortage of that on display. There was one dancer in particular that really put on a stage show that enticed me. Unfortunately, she had approached before she hit the stage. I respectfully asked that I wanted to see her stage show first. Her stage show got me, but another patron got her attention first after her dance and that's all she wrote, lol. Didn't see her again until much later when I was ready to leave. Dems the breaks. Anyways, the dancers respond accordingly to tips laid out (or obnoxiously thrown at them, a behavior I wish would die a violent death). All of the dancers graciously thank you for their tips. As well, when I wasn't seated at the stage and still tipped, they would thank me when they get back on the floor. I dropped ~$250 total in stage tips. Private Dances: I did not do any private dances this night. Misc: This may have been specific to this night, but there was a whale group of sorts who had a "captive" audience of a good number of the dancers so there didn't seem to be much 'circulation' of the dancers throughout the club. They'd just do a stage dance, then go right back to the whale. Can't really hate the game and I imagine a bit more assertiveness would've allowed one to pry a dancer of their choosing from the whale's grips. But yea... My man was dropping BIG bucks so more power to him. Felt silly dropping my ten or so bucks and this guy (or other dancers with the guy's group) goes and just throws 50-100 dollars at a dancer, lol. Other dancers seemed to already be with a steady patron (or were with regulars) so they seemed to be out of circulation as well. Also, I aware if you're seen as "stage tipper" guy, you get less traffic even when you're not at the stage. Summary: I had a good time. Spent about 2.5 hours there just enjoying the sights and getting my mind off things. I wish I could've added more "heft" to this review, but for what I needed at the time, I got exactly what I wanted.
