Late Tuesday night visit (post 11 pmish): First visit to club since changeover from Gold Club to Ricks. Tuesday nights are $2 well drink nights- just be sure not to "call" a mixed drink ( that would "Jack" up price to regular $7.) Driving up, parking is at side or back of building, monitored by security cameras. Fellow tuscler racejeff met me at front door with one of his spare free passes. I later got some free passes from a dancer who I'd bought several dances from, so I'll return the favor. We adjourned to his table away from the stages- taking in the shows, and his pointers on club, and dance option price structure. Some features:

CLUB FEATURES/LAYOUT: Upon passing curtained entrance, first thing I notice is an ATM machine.Then,the first of 3 ministages spread evenly apart with close in table seating. Turning right, is a slightly elevated level with seats/tables further removed from stage. If one continued straight past first 2 stages, they'd get to the bar, then the restrooms, and private dance areas. Crowd level was about 1/2 - 3/5 full. Crowd distribution was the exact opposite of Brass Flamingo in that the elevated seats removed from stage fill up there, while at Ricks tonight virtually empty with bar, and close in stage seating heavily favored. Food service was still available after midnight, though I did not partake.

DANCERS: Guessing 15 or so dancers, attractiveness range 5 - 8. Most were Caucasian, with 2 Blacks. Even range of dancers from petite/natural to thick/enhanced. At least 2 of the 3 stages were in use, stageside tip interaction good. There was a fair ammount of dancer circulation in the back tables, one is best advised to ask during stageside tip as close in seats, or bar gets the most dancer attention.
