Still my favorite RI club, but...

Still my favorite RI club, but the club just doesn't feel the same. It's been well documented and chatted about regarding the price hikes. Topless dances are $30 ($10 to the house, $20 to the dancer... dancer gets the same as before, house gets the additional $5). Champagne rooms are still the same- $130 for 15 minutes. There are other options like private topless, or obviously the totally nude dances. Why would anyone bother with a totally nude one song dance for $60-70? If you want a dancer totally nude, do the champagne.

Club remains busy, but I've noticed the side couch lapdance area nowhere near as busy as before. Also, seems some dancers are feeling the loss of income, and it's affecting their attitude. I think this is what is detracting from the atmosphere of the place. Dancers lack energy on stage and seem frustrated by constant rejections when working the floor. Drink prices also are high, again detracting from the overall experience. Didn't the owners make enough money before? How about helping the dancers or appreciating the customers?

Anyway, I will keep going there just to spend time and do champagne with two or three of my favorites that I've known for awhile. The ones who lose out are the other dancers that I will not "experiment" with due to the fact before I could get 4 dances for 100 bucks, now I can only get 3. It's a shame.
