Got here around 11-ish and the place was pretty quiet. A cover to get in, plus you must buy 2 drinks (no alcohol). The dumb part of it is they sell you both drinks at once, so by the time you're interested in a second drink, it's flat or warm or both. Plus you're obligated to carry around that 2nd unstarted drink for a couple of hours until you drink it, so how are you supposed to get dances? Go figure...

Then you have to sit on awkward hard high stools (unless you sit at the stage, but my experience is that it is wiser to sit away from the stage and approach only when you're interested in the performer), which maybe encourages you to buy dances, they're so uncomfortable.

Anyway, there are quite a few of hot numbers at this club, and you can get some fairly decent mileage with the right girl in a VIP (nothing too serious, though, since the privacy factor is poor and the bouncers abound), but you need to drop minimum $200 plus tip for that, which is steep by SC standards. I used to come here a few times a year, and I got to know a couple of girls fairly well, they even offered me OTC, which I declined, though I was tempted. Those girls were worth taking to the VIP, if you're ready to spend. The problem is those girls are no longer there, at least I haven't seen them in quite some time (I'm wondering if my friskiness with them [or their friskiness with me?] got them fired...), and the girls I am interested in and have a serious conversation with (serious such as what happens with you in VIP, etc.) don't seem to be the kind that offer anything interesting.
