Things seem to be changing

I've been to GGR a bunch of times over the last few years, and while it's still my favorite in the area the shine is wearing off a little.

To start with the basics, the place needs some work physically. On this visit a number of the chairs in the lap dance area (which are bolted to the floor) were broken. The bathroom has gone from being actually nice to just OK. Still, the main area is fine and clean, and really perfectly OK to hang out in.

The real change is in the service and the dancer's attitudes. They still have a mandatory one drink charge, you still get a wristband to show you bought it, but on this visit and the last one I made the barmaid has been pretty grumpy - given she's the first person you speak to it sets the tone. Most annoying though is that although there were plenty of dancers, all the best looking ones (IMHO) were basically just hanging out. They'd stand and chat with the DJs, or talk with each other, or disappear into the dressing room for ages. I at one point saw a couple sitting on the floor of the lap dance area playing games on their phones. All this time customers are out front bored watching exceptionally lack luster stage dances and trying to get some attention. I usually do 3 or 4 dances on a visit, and usually prefer to set it up directly with the girl, but this time I had to use the DJ ticket system because I just couldn't get their attention. Even when I did that I was waiting 10-20 mins after booking for them to show up (and they were not busy working). I got one dance (it was OK) and left after waiting too long for the other. Hopefully this was an off night, I'll be back for sure, but I left more annoyed than anything else.
