Went back to Christies in Tempe; a favorite location. A very nice facility, across from a big mall in a good neighborhood....big, well lit parking lot next to two larger hotels. Not anything like the clubs hidden in run-down or industrial neighborhoods.

One big stage, plus a side stage which was in use for the first time I'd seen in several visits. There's also a bar attached to the rear VIP area and a stage, but those aren't used in my experience except for VIP bottle services.

The quality of the entertainers here is key; they are professional, friendly, and fun to hang with. There are some who approach with 'wanna dance?' but I think that's mostly a language barrier for the subset of non-English speakers (some Latina, some E Europe, a couple Asian). They aren't comfortable with chitchat.
