I've visited Mario's Showplace several times...

I've visited Mario's Showplace several times recently. All of my visits have been pretty much the same so I will summarize all of them into one review. I've visited on weeknights and one Saturday night.

The layout of the club is like everyone has described. The stage is on your left as soon as you walk in and the bar is on the right. The stage is in a U shape with 3 poles and plenty of seats along the stage. You can get a good view of the stage from the bar and there are also a couple tables in the middle of the "U". There is also the 2nd half of the club that is farther from the stage but has lots of tables and bench style seating on both sides along the wall. There's also a bigger table with a pole on top of it. The club is fairly clean overall, even the bathrooms are fairly clean. The drinks are about what you would expect to pay, $5.50 for a 16oz bottle of beer and some of the mixed drinks are $10. The club also serves food but I haven't tried any of it. There's plenty of tv's both by the bar as well as the other room in the back. I actually think the club feels more like a sports bar that also happens to have fully nude strippers in it (which is a good thing). The staff has also been friendly from my experiences. As mentioned in other reviews, the lap dance booths are in the back. The left and right corner booths closer to the entrance are the best for privacy and the two across from that are still good but not quite as private. I've not gotten any dances in any of the middle booths but there is a 4 foot high wall between the booths and the entrance. The VIP room has about 4 different couches for VIP dances. The two in the corners offer the most privacy. They have a 4' high wall that kind of encloses them a little bit.

On weeknights it hasn't been too busy, just about the right amount of girls to customers ratio. I'd say there
