If you go to a strip...

If you go to a strip club for the dancers as opposed to ambience, Playhouse is tip top. Depending on the crew on a given night, you'll see dancers just as beautiful as a big corporate strip club, but you get a warm and passionate lap dance and someone who seems to really want to know you... as opposed to the mechanical acting typical of places like Delilah's. Its BYOB, so you won't have to get expensive drinks to stay, just bottles of water or soda, which aren't that expensive by strip club standards. You also tip the bartender for bringing you the beer you or wine that you give to her to when you enter. Many of the dancers haven't mastered english yet, so the conversations will be pretty simple, but if you're like me, you go to flirt, not talk in depth.

One thing I like is that you can get the attention of a big baller with just two or three hundred dollars. Lap dances are $30 per song in a private room with a camera, so its not a free for all, but a lot better than a big name city strip club. Admission to a champagne room in a fancy club can be $200 or $300 and then you need to pay for lap dances and tips. At Playhouse, I like to pick one dancer I really like and spend all the money I budgeted on that one person. You become her hero and the other girls notice how long you were in the back with her, so they will try to cozy up to you as well. If you don't wait too long to come back, they will remember you, and now you are the baller at the club for a price that just makes you a regular guy at a big name corporate club. At $30 the lap dances aren't cheap, but the dancers are eager to please within the limits of being monitored on camera.

If you BYOB and have a few drinks when you are there, please pace yourself. The police in Burlington are vigilant and are waiting for you to speed or make an error on those township streets. It may be a long drive home, but a speeding ticket or DUI will make it much longer and very expensive.
