Soft Opening - First Night

Been seeing signs for this club and hearing about it, so decided to go check it out on their first night open. Was pleasantly suprised by everything. A few kinks to work out, but all in all a good night. I don't generally write reviews unless I have something to add or defend, and as this is a new club, I have the opportunity to add a lot so here goes...

First off, this place is big. I mean BBBIIIGGG!!!. Could easily seat close to 200. There is even a resaurant section for their full menu. From front to back, the back half is sectioned off as a VIP section. about half of the seating is in that area (and was fairly full the whole time I was there). Not sure what it takes to get back there. The front half of the floor is two full bars on raised floors and a table seating "restaurant" area, complete with waiter. From the water features on the wall (water panels bubbling like champagne) to the bouncers in full high-end suits, you get the feel they are catering to high-end client. The place borders on too spacious. While the pool surrounding the main stage and seating is cool at first, it puts a good deal of distance between most seats and the main stage. Slightly awkward (for me at least) was the walkways over the water to the main stage. There is no subtle walking up. As it was opening night, there were some obvious flaws with the building. When I first got there the music was so loud, you could not talk to anyone, especially the bartenders. After a little bit you could tell they turned the music "slightly", but could stand to turn down a little more on the dial. The lighting was also an issue in the booths. The lighting changing from time to time wasn't bad, but the lights would sometimes just go out, and a lot of the time it was hard to see anything except silhouettes in front of the door. I prefer a little lighting to at least see the lady I am with. One last contention, and one I bet is coming, is a little table for items in the booth. I always take my drink with me and would like to have something besides the floor to set it on.

Half of the people there were in suits and I think I was 1 of about 10 guys in nicer t-shirts, rest were collared shirts. Definitely wasn't worried about some bum coming in after an all-night bender and being rude to everyone. It was relaxing to a bit, but I definitely felt a little under-dressed. Would recommend at least a collared shirt, jeans are fine. One suprise for me, not bad though, was the number of female and couple patrons. Probably saw 5-6 groups of women (2 to 4 each group) and about 8 couples. They were treated just as well, if not slightly better, than the guys. Different but cool with me, was just something of note.

Now to the best part, the women there. I would say no worse than a 7 on the roughest of scales and at least 7-8 on a solid 10. The women there are required to wear dresses. Definitely gives an upscale feel to them, and I think makes them look so much better than the stereotypical bikini outfits seen at most clubs around here. As far as ethnicites, Fair amount of Black and White, about 3 or so Latinas, and also saw a couple Asians. The personalities definitely run a full range. Saw a couple ladies never leave the VIP section. Suits me. If their personalities are that stuck up, I ain't interested in them anyways. Definitely some good conversationalists, and not a pushy girl around. That will likely change some time in the future when the girls have to pay out more, but taking the good while it's there. The experience levels ranged all over as well. Even met a girl who it was her first night dancing ever. She was so sweet, I even got a decent dance from her. about a 6.5. Good for a first timer. I have had far worse. I fell into my own trap of getting multiple dances from one woman, so I am not totally knowledgeable on the range of dance skills. Talked to a few other guys at the bar and as the rules are not yet concrete, it is more up to the woman's discretion. I know this will fall on mostly deaf ears, but here it goes anyways. If you treat a woman with respect and let her set the limits, then 99% she will let you go a hell of a lot further than if you are rude, grabby, and constantly trying to go way too far (remember it's a strip club that is not in vegas). I left names out intentionally and will not put names up as they trusted me to not go blabbing about what we did. So, leaving it at that.
