Mediocre at best

Over a decade ago, while in vegas I had the fortune of discovering LD thru local friends who raved about a non touristy strip club slightly off the strip. Back then Little Darlings was indeed a gem, a place where a couple hundred dollars went a long way. It was a minor leagues for girls wanting to gain experience in the strip club business. Totally nude, cute girls next door and off the charts mileage made LD a great alternative to the pricey and glitzy spearamint rhinos and sapphires in vegas. Unfortunately with each subsequent visit, LD became less a hidden gem and more a tourist trap. Having been there over a dozen times over the years, I noticed the slow and steady decline in talent, value and overall fun. So being in vegas for the weekend I decided to try to recapture the old nostalgia of the past and despite my recent misgivings decided to try it one more time. Called for the free limo pickup which arrived to pick me up on the strip in 20 minutes. Tipped the driver $10 which he seemed happy about. Entered the club and presented a pass I kept from my last visit. Thought I was paying a reduced cover, wrong, I was told the pass was invalid. Begrudgingly paid $35 cover, told if came back in 7 days with the receipt my cover would be free for my next visit. Entered thru the metal detector as usual and noticed LD was pretty much the same. No alcohol, smoky room and a mixed crowd which bordered ghetto. Minor issues which could be forgotten with hot talent. Unfortunately the talent was mediocre at best, abysmal at worst depending on your tastes. Got my soda and sat down. Before I took two sips, a couple of tattooed 5s offered the hard sell and hustle. Some came alone, some worked in pairs. Unfortunately I declined all of them, the days of girls next door type are gone, it seems hardened hustlers have taken over. Couldn't really find one spinner I was wanted to take in the back for a couple of test drive lap dances. Music was good, so I was able to shazam some songs. Got a couple more sodas and stayed for an hour, left really disappointed. The management needs to step it up by hiring better talent and training the girls to focus less on selling vip rooms. If i really like you I will go vip, but it shouldn't be the first words out of your mouth. With the cab ride back to the strip net loss $60, lesson learned, will not repeat for a long time
