I had had it with my...

I had had it with my dive strip club bars this trip and decided on my last night to return to this more high end club which I have enjoyed on previous trips.

Again, drove myself so no cover. Very friendly people right from the get go. Had a good long conversation with the manager about NYC among other things at the door. When I finally went into the club with him, a tall young blond dancer was waiting to bring me in and to a table - ok it is only with the clarity of post visit sobriety that I realized the manager had probably set this up while we were chatting. Got a waitress and started buying drinks. I do live a bit dangeously and open a CC tab for drinks and am always specific that is what it's for, saving cash for the girls. When you open a tab with a waitress, she gives you a card with her name on it so that she is the only one to serve you, even in downstairs VIP (upstairs is a separate waitress but the bar tab for VIP still goes on the same tab). I like that. Scotch was $13, other drinks in the same neighborhood, I think one of the girls drinks I bought was in the $17 range.

Blond was really cute, bit of a chat before I asked the lowdown. Half hour vip was $260 with a $50 bar tab. $500 for an hour with a $100 tab, yes, I did say this was a higher end club. VIP areas were off to either side. Unlike last time, both seemed to be the same price (or so I was lead to believe). VIP was fine, a bit of mileage but sometimes I think the really pretty girls don't work as hard. VIP done, she wanted a tip. Disappeared after without so much of a goodby.
