From all outward appearances, there should be no real reason to really like this club. Drink prices have gone up $3 since last year making my scotch $14, girls are middling, 5-7s with only a smattering above and this year I ran into a real ROB. VIP has a 2 drink minimum at $20 a pop (up $5 from last year), 1 hour private rooms will run you at least $500 for a bottle and $600 for the girl. Added to that the decor has taken a step back from interesting and stylish (I really liked the look of the big lampshades) to garish with the standard strip club rope light and mirror look. The music is loud and it does get crowded with tight spaces for LDs in the main room.

And yet . . . this club is on my hot list. There is a contingent of very friendly folks here that make me feel welcome. The girls do make an effort to sit and chat rather than repeat the mantra "want a dance?" to every guy. I've had some very interesting conversations with them and there is rarely the hard sell or rush to a dance. When I visit on consecutive nights during my stay, they remember my name and my drink. Usually when I do come back each night, it's for an ATF and she's given me tours of the club, introduced me around to the DJs, floor guys, bartenders and waitresses. Even the bathroom troll and I chat and catch up each time I visit.

My ATF this time was upset with the ROB (she had suggested I get a dance from her since she was just walking the club floor). When the girl started making a stink with her about wanting more than the standard rate - my ATF paid the girl the difference to shut her up. And with an ATF like that, the best value VIP ($200 for a half hour) has been incredible with lot's of mutual touching and grinding (YMWV) while being left alone (now that they know me). Of all the clubs I've been to, my best Laps (VIP) have been here. I do not look for extras and don't know if they are available ITC. However, each ATF each year has hinted at meeting up OTC. I haven't been able to either due to my schedule or denseness in understanding the suggestion.
