meh...

I hadn't been to LFHC in a while so I thought I'd check in to see how things are post riots. The block was slow for a late Monday night. Not to be found, it seems, was the carnival type atmosphere that I remember from earlier visits. So upfront I got charged $20 to enter. Apparently there's a $10 option but neither the gal working or bouncer could clearly explain the difference with the $10 fee and why that wasn't sufficient. If memory serves me correctly the $20 fee was required to go upstairs and the $10 fee only covered downstairs. The upstairs was closed off this evening (except for laps). Maybe that is why they were both at a loss of explanation. So, ripped off $10 bucks out the gate but fine moving on. There were about 8 dancers working around 12:45 AM. That's an estimate because there were only 5 dancers on stage during the $1 dances--will get to that in a second as I had never seen that before. So, anyway, 5 on stage but I saw at least two head off to the lap area just before. So rounding it up to 8. From the dancers I saw, tthere was one 8. Her name was Bentley. I'd say there was one 7, didn't catch her name but she was a tall, slender brunette. The others were 6's. There were at least 5 white dancers, including the 8, the 7, a solid 6+ who went by the stage name Aurora, and two 6-'s who sat with what I assume are two regulars the whole time I was there.

So, the $1 dancers are basically where the dancers come around and give you an ~1 minute table side dance for a $1. Actually, I have no complaints and think it was a fair deal. I declined the first offer I got for the table side with Bentley. The dances were good and we agreed to a private dance following. After 3 songs she said she had to move on, which I think was really her just trying to line up someone else for a private after me. I also got a table side from the 7. It was decent, but she was too tall for my taste.

In terms of the private lap, Bently first tried to sell me on the private room. $750 she says. I don't recall if it was an hour or half hour, but no thanks. She then said that we could do a 5 or $85, which I guess is the new standard. I heard that some of the other gals were offering 3 for $40. Because she was the hottest gal there by far I decided not to try and negotiate her down further. She said that we could have more fun if I was a generous tipper. I consider myself a good tipper but didn't inquire much further what that might include. Went to the lap dance area upstairs and there were at least 3 others getting dances. Things were in reasonably plain sight but I wasn't really watching anybody else. The dances were definitely good. I didn't feel rushed and she might have even given me an extra song, honestly I kind of lost count--which you never want to do. My only complaint was her top stayed on the whole time. Can't recall if that was the case in the past, but didn't think so. Contact was decent two way. I didn't really try for the kitty and up top she had her top on so that was a little bit disappointing, hence the decent and not great rating. There was a little bit of stick shifting. More than none but no where enough to get the job done. Maybe I could have negotiated that but again was more curious to see how it would play out by default. That being said, she did get the job done. I gave here $120, which I consider a decent tip (above the $85). I'm not sure what she was expecting and she was appreciative but not overwhelmingly so. I would have thought most guys would have just rounded up to a $100 so I was giving a little extra. So, overall, I'd call it a "meh" experience. I'd still go back because the club has always been relatively clean and the dancers at least a notch up from the other block bars I've been to. But, overall, definitely not the best time I've had there. It was, um, meh.
