Somehow I knew I shouldn't bother...

Somehow I knew I shouldn't bother but I tried anyway. It'd bee a long time since I visited DaVinci's (Aug 2011 -- and then I vowed not to return) and lately when stopping in convenience stores I noticed Lays "Fried Chicken and Waffles" flavored potato chips.

Saturday, I wound up trying both... the chips had a vague bland chicken taste to them and just a hint of maple syrup -- not nearly as strong as the dancer body spray and cigarette smoke I could smell on my clothes.

The club -- well, clearly management has poured money into the club. Flat screen TVS -- two of which are basically message boards for club specials, $175 bottles of Hennesy and other $250 bottles of Patron, and an occasional ad for a bail bondsman (how convenient, given the security guy in the front using a hand-held metal detector). They love using the smoke machine and there are a few more curtained VIP booths in view of the stage. Strangely fewer seats actually at the stage for people to sit and tip. $10 at the door, $3 for a soda (I don't drink at any strip clubs) and $1 tips for the door girl and waitress meant my basic outlay was $15. Stage tipping added another $11 for the 1:15 I was there. They still had the 2-for-1 dance specials and apparently dances are still an outrageous $25 a piece (3:40 first song, less than 3 min for the second) with the DJ generously suggesting 3 for $50.
