I visited at about closing time, and I think this might be a key move here. A lot of the BS goes away, and there is a lot of pressure to get you in and out.

Reasonable selection of four or five dances, went for a quick private dance with a nice young lady, and enjoyed myself completely.

$20 cover at the door. You walk in and there is a small stage to the right, a small bar to the left of the stage, and a group of rooms to the left of the bar. Rent the room, tip the dancer, and see what happens, YMMV. But, all in all a great high-mileage dance.
