My friends and I travel to...

My friends and I travel to MB annually each Sept. We have visited Secrets for 5 consecutive nights EACH YEAR for the past 8 years. So to say the least we've been satisfied with our experience. We've been to clubs all over the country so when I say we look forward to Secrets it means something.

Some nights are slow, others, I'd say most, are wild. Actually the best nights are often start as the quietest. Mondays and Tuesdays, before the weekend warriors show up and act like stupid A-holes, it's slow enough to get special attention. You're not competing with idiots with more money than brains. You never know, but we've had so many great nights it's always worth stopping in.

We've gotten to know many of the regular girls over the years. Others are rotated in. Some hot, some not. ALL friendly. And plentiful. All shapes and sizes, whatever you like. Wait staff is prompt and friendly. Security leaves you alone as long as you don't cause trouble. And they look out for you if you're OK but get hassled by an unfriendly. DJ is not obnoxious as some can be.

It's always our first stop and usually the last. Girls at other clubs tend to swoop in and don't give you time to breath. But Secrets girls will sit and chat or take "no thank you" graciously. You're not confined to watching the stage and ponying up $1 bills either. There's an area in front of the bar and TV where you can sit and carry on a conversation. That's where we camp out. It's like home base for us.

We don't visit the stage too often, unless a "friend" is dancing and we go over to support. We concentrate on couch dances in the backroom. Usually start at $40 and go up from there. Rarely get out for less than $100 if I'm into the girl. Gotta ask where you are occasionally because the tab can get away from you pretty quick. Judge how much you're spending and consider the "Champagne Room". Doesn't hurt to negotiate. Touching rules vary by the girl. But most are fairly liberal as long as you're not a pig.
