After years of diligent research, I think I've found it: the elephant's graveyard for strippers. Of the five dancers on shift at 11 PM, at least four of them were north of 40. If you are a fan of thick ankles, sagging silicone and tattoos, this is a club tailor made for you.

As it happens, I'm not that fan. So the fact that the 20 lap dances were right out in the open on the floor, and clearly low mileage, didn't bother me at all. I wasn't tempted. There were, of course, higher priced options, but without spending lots and lots of money on a woman whose primary qualification is experience, you can't get anything like a private room. I wasn't willing to hazard even a question about dancer's policies; that would start taking me down a road I really didn't want to go.

The club itself is reasonably nice; free valet, and they waived the cover charge for driving in myself. The place has apparently had a difficult history, trying to find a format that works. This isn't it.
