I visited Club Turbulence (that's what the sign on the side of the building says - don't know why it's listed as CT Showclub here) on a Tuesday afternoon in the middle of the summer. It's hidden behind an airport parking lot at the top of S Tucson Blvd and so a little hard to spot at first. It's within walking distance of most of the airport hotels.

There was no cover charge, so I walked right in. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by “Mike” who was a burly bouncer/doorman. He showed me around the room (not hard, its not large) and explained the dance and drink prices (there was a two-for-one beer promo running). The club had a relatively upscale ambiance, but it was EMPTY. I was the only customer and there were no dancers in sight. Nevertheless, I got my two-for-one beers, sat down and hoped for the best.

Three or four girls eventually showed up and danced in turn on the main stage. They were all Latino and all noticeably overweight. I eventually agreed to a private dance with the least-worst looking one, which are $10 each. She took me over to the couches on the far side of the room and provided a pretty mediocre grind. Some two way contact was allowed, but it was all pretty uninspiring. One dance was enough to know I didn't want to waste any more money here. There is apparently a VIP room which is $15 to enter and $20 per song, but I wasn't remotely tempted due to the level of talent on display.
