I've been to VIPs maybe 10...

I've been to VIPs maybe 10 times over the past several years, including a visit about two weeks ago. 4-6PM is my typical window and I took a lapdance with Climax, an African American dancer who I once spent time with in a rear booth at Titillations, maybe 5 years ago. She's pleasant, but I think between us there are too many years in these clubs. I'll sum it up that her approach is to postpone negotiation until the dance is over.

VIPs is in a safe area, with on-street parking and a nearby public lot, plus it is easy from Rte 280. The layout is not the greatest IMHO, with a horseshoe shaped bar but there are usually enough dancers and as long as you are a bit patient you can get a dance from someone you are attracted to. The dancers are friendly, on par with Clancy's and the Hitching Post. For extras I'd say VIPs is somewhere in between these two clubs.

There is a decent old fashioned Mexican restaurant next door. VIPs claims to serve food but has no kitchen and I have never seen anyone eating there.
