I've been to a club a couple of times since it re-opened, and it's definitely not the best place in Seattle. The inside of the club was cleaned up and upgraded, but there are almost no dancers working during the day. I've been there three times, and two out of three times they only had two girls working. The third time they had more girls but only one cute one (that was stuck up and wanted to do $30 dances only).

This is now a Deja Vu franchise club, so if you've been to other Deja Vu clubs in Seattle, it's pretty similar. They normally have one stage going in the middle of the room, and you can tip at the rail. The stage is pretty high, and you get to sit right next to it, so it's a pretty typical strip club layout.

The "basic" lab dance is on the main floor and is $20. Most girls will try to upsell you for a VIP lap dance at $30 in the VIP room. Most of the time it's not worth it. You won't really know until you try it. I normally go for the $20 dances, and with the right girl those can be a lot of fun (within legal limits of course) even right on the main floor. They get my money going further (i.e. I get to buy more dances), and most of the time you would get the same exact dance in the VIP room. There are also private areas where you can get dances for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc., but I never tried those so I can't comment. I believe a 15-minutes private session in a "champagne room" is $150, which is the same as five 3-minute VIP dances. (Deja Vu cuts the songs to three minutes only). So I can't see how it can possibly be a good deal. I'd rather go one dance at a time, since it makes a dancer work hard/give you a good dance every song so you'll keep buying more. If they get you for 15 minutes instead, you are screwed regardless of how bad the dances are.
