I went to Fantasies on a Monday night while on a business trip to the Baltimore area. The location is a little odd. The club is located east of the city on the edge of a district that appears to be an old residential neighborhood that has seen better days. The club is a rectangular cinder-block building, but painted and with some attractive ornamentation to dress it up. The parking lot is fairly large, enclosed in part and well enough lighted, though I did not see any security cameras and no club security outside. All-in-all, though, it seemed a safe enough area.

The cover was $5 and was collected by a bouncer inside the club.

Inside, the club is one large room with a stage with two poles in the center. The stage is surrounded by an oval bar, so you cannot get within 10 feet of the dancers on stage. Most seats are around the bar with a few tables along the walls. Several flat screens show sports and the club also runs the Maryland Instant Lotto game (essentially Keno) on one screen. There was also a screen for horse racing that I think was also some form of lotto.
