Here are the basics first. This is the only club for a couple of hours in either direction, so I am thankful that it is here and I enjoy coming here. It is a membership club so you have to sign in when you go. The first time it is $25, every time afterwards it is $10, but I think you have to register again every six months and thus pay the $25 again. It's weird, but whatever. There is zero alcohol. You can get sodas, water juice, Red Bull, etc. It is $2-3 for a water and $4-5 for a Red Bull. I have been in on several different days and before the change I used to see 7-8 girls working at a time. Lately it has been more like 3 or 4 girls. Not sure if that was just bad timing for when I was there. Most of the time it has been pretty dead in the club, but a few times there has been a couple dozen guys there. I have never been to a club like this anywhere in the country and I have been to clubs pretty much in every state. It is almost like whoever made this club had never actually been to a club anywhere else and just came up with how they thought was a good way. The weird membership is one example. Then the girls really just set around and do nothing. I have been there when it was a girl's turn to dance, but she saw someone she knew so she just set and talked to them and no one was on stage for like 3-4 songs. The stage is awkward too, it is elevated and kind of isolated. It is hard to explain but it is weird to go up to the stage. It just feels better watching from afar and going up and dropping a few dollars and going back to the bar or one of the side tables. Then, there are the dances. You have to pay at the bar, they give you tickets for how many dances you bought, then you walk upstairs and give the tickets to a doorman. The tickets have always been $30 I think. The big change recently though was you used to get 3 for $60, but now it is 3 for $75. I will get to that in a minute. So there is all these weird ways they run things. I don't really care, but I would definitely not run things that way, and here is why. I am a bit of a spender when it comes to clubs. Always have been. It's not something I probably should be doing, but I enjoy attention and mileage from multiple different girls so I am willing to spend the money. Plus, I like and appreciate the girls so it is worth it to show them some love. Normally, in clubs all across the country I would usually take anywhere from $500-$1000 with me. If I really like a girl, meaning she gives me attention and love, I will get more money out too. The way this place is set up though, I just don't spend that much. Now that they changed the prices, I actually spend less. First, no alcohol, which is fine, but way cheaper. I prefer the full nudity so I am fine with that. Second the stage is weird so I throw less dollars. The girls seem more interested in their phones or their buddies then making money, so less money there. Then, there is the buying tickets ahead of time. I buy three dances at a time and that is it. Other clubs, I would get so involved that the dancer would say, you want another and I would say sure, over and over again. Here I have prepaid so i have no choice but to stop. I have been told you can go on, but unless you buy the deal in advance, then you don't get it. Each extra dance is $30, so why would I? It keeps me disciplined I guess so i spend less money there. Then there is the price change. It's not smart. They probably look at it like they are making $15 more now so that is a good thing, but it would be interesting to see if the profits went up. I look at it like this: say you are someone who brings in $200 to the club. You pay $10 at the door, now you are at $190, then you buy a couple of Red Bulls or throw some ones at the stage and now you are at $180. Before the change you could get three, 3 for $60 dances with the rest of your money. However, now you can only get two, 3 for $75 dances, and you are left with $30. Before, you would spend all of the $200, but now you only spend $170 and go home with $30 in your pocket. I usually try to tip the girls, but i am also fine if I go home with some money. And believe me, I spend way less at this club then i do at all others. Finally, let me say a few things about the girls. I have had some great experiences at this place. Good attention and mileage from some nice girls, but I have also left without spending anything. One, sometimes the girls just seem bored, or only interested in one person, which I could understand if that person was spending money, but they are usually not. And two, the girls range from 4s to 8s. I have been in when there are only 4s and I don't want to spend my money on a 4, especially if they are not friendly. I hate when ladies just walk up and say, wanna dance? I will always say no unless you are drop dead gorgeous. Take some time to talk to me, and then be slow and passionate when you dance, and I could drop a $1000 your way. But, unless they make some changes, their systems keep me from spending much money at all. I still enjoy going there. I have met some nice girls and I have had at least a few high mileage dances, but most of the time the dances are below average and they will only bother talking to you if you approach them.
