2001 Odyssey Tampa

Let's start at the entrance. Parking is primarily in the rear with a sizable lot away from the main street (nice privacy for those who may have a recognizable automobile). There were a few male employees outside of the entrance in front and they all seemed cool. Cover was $20 for the night but no one approached me inside about a drink minimum so I wasn't bothered by the price. The cover cashier was friendly and charming, and even though an initial $1 tip is insisted, I had no problem with giving that. Her job upfront is a lonely one and she was quite cool despite it, although I suspect she's more than a cashier.

The interior was rather nice and very well kept, including the bathroom. Very clean and smoke free, all a big plus and a requirement for me. A little cramped at times, expected of a strip club, but still kind of tight when there's a crowd. The layout of the stage is nice with a clear shot of the dancers throughout save for one spot: a mirrored beam on the left can make viewing difficult to see a favorite dancer as she moves from pole to pole.

Speaking of dancers, the variety was vast for differing palettes, from slender to having a few extra pounds. From short to tall, tat free to Suicide Girl wannabe/maybe (I love both). From "cold" and seductive to playful and outgoing. From small chests and rears to curvy on both tiers. This place has it all. If you're looking for only the slender type of dancer, this isn't the place for you. Not judging, just saying as I know there are clientele seeking out this type of establishment. Admittedly, I also fall somewhat into this category, but appreciate different types of women. Proof is in the woman I selected for a lap dance. I tend to gravitate toward tall, pale, goth types. She was of average height with an ample tan and disheveled hair (and a bit younger than I thought as I found out later). But lovely, absolutely lovely, and sparkling with some inner quality I can't explain that caught my attention even as I first spotted her just sitting off to the side. I always wait for a dancer to come up onstage before I even consider getting a dance from them, and then I must have some time spent getting to know them. (I'm old. Ha!) I was fixated on her sensuality onstage and her warm but slightly innocent demeanor was charming when she approached me to talk. I tried to resist a dance... but that didn't last long. The lap dance I received from her was amazing to say the least and made it rather difficult to restrain the Hyde in my usual Jekyll self. I'm sure taking advantage of the 3 for $60 deal next time (usual asking price is $30 per dance [with an upfront $5 rental fee for use of the backroom either way, I believe]) will help remedy that. The dancer was wonderful throughout our little intimate moment and afterward in the club.
