I spent a couple of hours here on Monday afternoon. DO NOT go to this club if you are the "gentlemen's club" type. Definitely do not go this club if you are looking for supermodels, prom queens, glamour girls, or even my favorite, naughty babysitter types. You will not find the "girl next door" at this club, although you may find the mother of the girl who lives in the next trailer (er, mobile home) over. During the shift I was present, the top of the line would be a 6 or 7. The physical surroundings can be best described as a "hole in the wall." Rather than attempt to describe the decor, it is easiest and most accurate to say that there is no decor. It is a very dark club, with three stages and a bar that seats about ten. There are about ten tables on the floor, with formica tabletops and padded metal chairs like you might find in a VFW hall. I did not feel the call of nature during my visit, so cannot comment on the bathrooms. I am, however, reasonably certain that you don't need to be concerned about having an attendant to tip. There is no dj...each girl revs up the jukebox before her set (I don't think I had seen a juke box in 10 years).

So, why the high rating? The ruthlessly high mileage offered in the privates. The phrase "private dance" in this context is a term of art, since they are only marginally private--two booths, separated from each other by a waist high wooden partition, and from the rest of the club by what looks to be floor-length green tinsel. However, if you are not put off by that relative lack of privacy, the dancers aren't going to be either.

After stage sets, the dancers come around to the tables collecting money...absenting yourself from pervert row will not buy you out of contributing to the dancers. However, a single dollar seems to be both the minimum expected and the maximum hoped for by the dancers.
