Sacramento Area Comparison

I now have the dubious distinction of having gone to ALL of the clubs in the Sacramento area which is not really a great feat. I’m going to share a portion of this review with a second club from the area because I think a side by side comparison helps. This time around I visited Pure Gold and Déjà vu a couple times each. I had been to Déjà vu before and had sometimes been underwhelmed so started at Pure Gold. While Déjà vu is in a large space with tall ceilings and a large private dance area with cubbies, Pure Gold is in a strip mall, low ceilings and pretty cramped with seats positioned every which way. Signs say you can’t stand around. I’d say it pretty much qualifies as a dive. I did like their private dance spaces slightly better than DVs. DVs are exceedingly dark with the lights from the timer machines being particular glaring. In DV, the dancer puts (or is supposed to put) the whole of the dance amount in the machine to set the timer. (My first dance there, a ROB broke my $50 and only put $30 in. I hadn’t realized what she had done until my next LD with another girl when she put the whole $50 in.) At PG, they have this odd thing with a fiver needing to be put in the machine and you pay the dancer the rest directly. We bargained for that cost, but the machine switches the light (and one booth even turned on an overhead fan) for a good 10/15m it seemed regardless of what you pay the girl, typically $100 for the full time.

I’d say the dancers were comparable. Both had a few good lookers as well as a few who shouldn’t be taking any clothes off. All in all, nothing above a 7 though. Hustle factor varied. I’d give the higher one to DV but both places left me lonely at times, probably because I wasn’t a regular at either. At PG, I got a real hard sell from the one girl I got dances from each night I was there. Mileage was very good though with high mutual contact compared with DV which had some good grind but not much else. YMMV

At Deja Vu, a $20 cover and no further obligation. I did have a couple of Monster drinks for $5 each. Place also seems so popular with ladies of the L persuasion I feel I have to mention it. Some waitresses were cute and I especially enjoyed their “stage maintenance” when the dancers were lacking. Thing is, as it seems to be about all the DVs I’ve ever been to, they go hot and cold. I had a great time with one dancer on Friday night. Other dancers’ stage performances were good too and I liked going up to tip at the rail. And I took advantage of a number of 3fer specials. Saturday night my fave from the previous night wasn’t there. Just about 10 girls after the shift change despite the place getting more crowded than I had ever seen it. I wasn’t particularly impressed with any performances. While I was there for 2-3 hours on Friday, I barely lasted an hour on Saturday.
