As recent reviews suggest, the place...

As recent reviews suggest, the place has gotten dodgier over time, but it appears to me mostly a matter of staffing, with certain seepage of some self-destructive behavior. I never did like nighttimes here, and haven't tried again, but as for the day shift, when it's good it's still very good, though it's not good more often than before.

The layout: you enter behing both the long stages and hang a right into the club proper by the entrances to the VIP areas. The bar's kinda small, but there are nice comfy seats all around two enormous stages. That's the only part usually better at night: getting attention at the stage. In the afternoons it can be 20 minutes before dollars at the edge of the stage will get you some face time. It's a raised stage, so they're not as intimate as at Castaways, say, so I rarely waste much time there.

In two corners (sometimes one, depending on how they move their plants around) there are private dance areas in the big room that are quite private, except to other dancers and patrons in the half-dozenish seat area.
