Recruited from the strip to Sapphire

While visiting on a guys trip for the weekend, we were convinced to take the free limo service from a bar on the strip to Sapphire. The service was not bad and we all got there, but it was also somewhat misleading to be offered so much for "free", when it actually ended up being more like $40 person to get in with a couple drink tickets each. We were expecting this, so it wasn't an issue. We arrived around 1AM and took seat in the middle of the open area near side stage. Overall I was impressed with the quality and layout of the club, which was decent for walking around and being able to watch and scope out the place from many vantage points. There was a ton of girls and it seemed like there were nearly as many girls and patrons. What I enjoyed was how friendly and willing to just chat while waiting for a drink at the bar or standing off to the side. They weren't pushy while I was up and walking around and stopping at the bar area for drinks.

After walking around for some time I joined some friends sitting near the side stage. At this point the girls stopping by were much more aggressive and asking for dances, but it wasn't over the top. I got a couple dances which were pretty standard with mild dancing while in front of everyone. I ended up joining another girl who offered to go to a spot on the other side of the club that wasn't in the middle of the crowd. Part of the club was partitioned off where another stage wasn't open that night and it was a good less open spot for dances.

Eventually I did accept the invitation of a slim blonde with a European accent who was very handsy to go back for a private dance. I wasn't worth it because as soon as I caved to go for a private dance she tried to sell more and more indicating "it's just another $, isn't that ok?". It came across as trying to take advantage and subtly question if it was really a big deal to me to spend money. I ended the dance early. It was a disappointment after many good dances on the floor for the private to be so lackluster and turned into an upsell on top of an already steep price.
