Not much bang for buck

I went to Showgirls Downtown on a Friday night, which I think should be called Showgirls North, it isn’t Downtown. Used the VIP multi entry pass (I showed the email receipt, since there is not other way to prove payment). Came at soon after opening at 715. Sign outside says 7 PM To 5 am. No dancers on the floor or at the bar (aka closed) but they soon came out when I walked in. When there was me and 1 or 2 other customers the dancers went nude during dances. 1/4 of all dancers that night walked in at 9 so some you wont see some at 7 if you come early. When more customers came it turned into a bikini bar and I throttled the tips down. Some dancers later in the night dont take off anything so no dollars for them. Even with tips dancers who went nude stopped when many customers came. I think the business model is nude is only for showers. Or they are punishing the zero tip customers but also punishing tipping customers. The club was dead until 10 but that is a good thing if you are early, 10 to 11 PM the club became packed and the experience sharply degraded after that. I should have left at 10. Southern Exposure is a chain, and I was told there is a shuttle available between all 3 Southern Xposure places so the whole alcohol or lapdances or nude choice can be fixed that way. Music was at a good volume until 9-10 PM, then I had to wear earplugs. Music was EDM/euro, hiphop, rap.

I shared drinks with Alice, a very good talker with medium fake tits and a italian/romanian look. No complaints about her.

According to the shower host (a female who schedules the sessions) the shower price goes up after midnight. 7, 14 and 30 mins are available. 7 min is $7, 14 is $12 and 30 is $25. Since you will probably be shorted on 2 14 mins sessions, the 30 min $25 is cost effective. I picked MJ for 14 mins. Buying the girl a drink was heavily pushed by the shower host but I refused since I was told to pay for shower+tip+buy her a drink considering she gets a cut of the drink and shower although the shower host said none of the shower fee goes to the dancer, that is lie, since the dancers wouldn’t push the offer on customers without getting a cut. My 14 min package was actually 11 mins long, probably as revenge for the no drink. I didn’t protest it since IDK how this club worked. I had to wait until the shower started, and get called by the shower host to come to the booth when the dancer was ready. It is possible that the “timer” starts running when the dancer gets off the bar stool to goto the shower area and prepare for the show, not when you called to sit down. Quite a rip off. The shower host will cut you off in shower room when your time is up. I don’t think there is a timer facing the dancer but I can’t see what she sees because of where I physically am. For 14 min package, there was no soap, minimal water, I probably should have left a lower tip. I suggest doing the whole buy a drink/sit/talk before committing to the shower incase of a bad attitude of the dancer. Maybe you will get a sense of how liberal the dancer is with the small talk.
