I never miss this place when I find myself in Manhattan. The talent rarely disappoints, particularly if your tastes trend toward the exotic, as it's rare to find an American among the dancers. Eastern Europe and the former Soviet bloc are well represented, and there's always a mix of South Americans and Asians as well. Now, if you're looking for any real action, it's going to cost far more than I would ever be willing to drop in this format--you could get a top-of-the-line hooker for less than the VIP charge--but if you want some good groping and grinding, you'll find it in the "cheap" seats (a matter of scale--nothing is cheap at strip clubs, or in NYC). Drinks are absurdly expensive, with domestic bottles (including tip) around $15. Best plan--show up pretty tipsy and simply maintain on Flashdancer bar prices. Starting for zero will make it about the most expensive buzz you'll ever encounter. Good R-rated fun here.
