Doubt I will return.
Passing through Jacksonville late Saturday evening, I decided to stop in and see some skin. The club is easy to find, right on a main drag. Plenty of parking is available, it is well lit and far enough away from residential areas so that I doubt vagrants and bums would ever be a problem when entering or leaving the club. On entering the foyer, the door girl is seated right in front of you. The entrance process is a bit of a hassle, there is an overly informative intro to the club, the rules, the dress code, etc, and then they scan your license. It was over a year since my last visit, but my membership was still valid, I think it was ten bucks to get in. While I was working through the entrance process, a staff member enthusiastically greeted me, making it clear that all the dancers, bartenders, waitresses, and even the door girl were available for private dances. I eventually cleared customs and ventured through the door into the main room.
The main room is well appointed by NC standards. The stage is in front of you, there are high backed couches along the wall to the right of the stage, which seems to be where most of the dancers spend most of their time. To the right of the stage when entering is a large seating area, with tables and comfortable chairs, and little semi booths along the left wall. The bar runs the length of the back wall, on this night a very well built blonde was working behind it. As usual, I was not drinking alcohol so I can't comment on drink prices other than red bull and water, four bucks? To the left of the bar is a short hallway with a very nice, clean, and spacious bathroom on one side and what appeared to be some version of private dance areas on the other.
I took a booth seat along the wall to the left of the stage to watch the rotation for a bit. Most of the girls were attractive, with a few that needed to lose a few pounds, most of them were white, and two asian girls, one was chunky and the other very thin with fake tits. A few of them joined me at my booth in succession, making idle chat and asking if I was interested in private dances, to which I replied not yet. They were all very friendly, and none of them pushed the issue or acted offended when I declined them. One blonde kept asking me what my type was so she could find a girl for me, and I kept telling her I don't have a particular type, just what catches my eye from one day to the next. After a bit, they did a showtime sort of thing, all the girls on the stage with the promise that if you got a girl you would get the best deal of the night on private dances. This club does not have any sort of couch room to my knowledge, just rooms of varying sizes and varying privacy levels, and of course increasing prices up to the hot tub room. What was in my opinion the hottest girl in the place made eye contact with me and came over. Tall, brunette, fit as a fiddle, beautiful face and legs, the whole nine yards. She asked me if I was interested in a private dance, and when I asked her how much they were I got the same bullshit answer all the other girls had given me so far that night "I am not allowed to tell you, you have to find out at the desk". I accompanied her to this desk, where she immediately began clamoring for me to take her to the hot tub room for $500, I think that was for half an hour. I said no to that and asked what else was available. The lowest price of any privacy at all was fifteen minutes at $250, with each additional five minutes being another $50. I politely said no to all of it. With zero preview in a couch room available, and no idea what sort of mileage might be expected, I am not dropping that much cash on a dance. I cut my losses and headed out.
I find it hard to believe that they make their money selling private dances to privates in the USMC, unless those boys are making a hell of a lot more money than in my day. A couch room to warm up in might help them sell the private rooms, and bridge to gap between a few dollars on stage and a lot of dollars in private. Speaking of dollars, I did not see anyone making it rain, and I got the feeling that rowdiness and thuggery would not be tolerated. If eye candy on stage or high dollar unknown mileage in private is your thing, go for it. I don't think I will stop again even if I am driving right by this club.
