First off, the name of the...

First off, the name of the place is the PALOMINO, not Palamino. Very common mistake.

Secondly, what a disappointment. Years ago when I went there, it was a classy place with real professional dancers and a great M.C. (the late Artie Brooks). Now it's just another place full of girls who can't dance hustling lapdances. Some people make a big fuss about this place because it's total nude and serves alcohol but since I don't drink, the big appeal for me was in the tradition and now that's pretty much gone.

The downstairs was closed off when I arrived so they sent me upstairs. I have no idea how many women were working there as they kept coming and going but no matter how many turned up, I couldn't find very many that interested me. Too many tattoos and pierced body parts. The few that didn't have that had bad attitudes. Is it too much to want to sit there and watch dancers for a little while before trotting off to have a lapdance? I got one lap from a blonde lady who seemed nice enough but the room wasn't very private and the dance seemed pretty impersonal. As I left, I got into a cab waiting outside and the first thing the driver said to me was, "Now, do you want to go to a good place?" He wanted to take me to Olympic Gardens but by then I wasn't in the mood.
