Had a few hours to kill before my flight.

Swung by Le Girls, not a single car in the lot. I didn't want to be the only dude in the club, so I decided to check out Christie's Cabaret since it was close by. I had really low expectations, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. Paid $5 to get in, walked in and noticed that this is probably the classiest strip club I've been to - they try to attain a high end nightclub feel and it works. The club is huge and open, with an entire second floor which looks down on the main floor. There was one main stage with a grand staircase connecting the stage to the second level.

The dancers add a dramatic twist - as each new dancer takes the stage, the slowly descend the stairs to the main stage. The prior dancer holds her hand and "presents" the new dancer to the crowd. Dancers do 2 dances. First fully clothed, second topless. None of the dancers appear to be "wanna dance" types. The dancers who approached me all stopped, sat down, and made conversation for an entire song or two - they all seemed to the most adept conversationalists of any club I've been to. This was all very pleasant, but it does mean that a customer may end up talking to a dancer they have no intention of getting a dance with for a few songs. There were a few times I wished some dancers would just move on so I could watch the show. Dancers are ok - I do like how many of them wear nice evening gowns, it is a classy touch. I would say most dancers range from 6-8 on a scale of 10. There was one very exotic looking dancer who I really caught my eye, we spoke for a while. She quoted dance prices of $10 per downstairs, no touching, and $20 per upstairs, with touching. I ended up getting 5 VIP dances at $20 each on the second level. This dancer was absolutely mesmerizing, one of the prettiest I ever danced with - but given that this is Arizona, the VIP-caliber contact was really tame. For someone who considers City of Industry to be strip club mecca - it even got a little boring at times.
