Lots of options on Friday night
Friday nights at Synn aren't quite as crowded as Thursdays and you don't get the discounted VIPs but there's generally a pretty long lineup, with plenty of options. I arrived before 10 when it hadn't really picked up yet but I still had to park around back at the Carl's Jr. Quick pat down, $20 cover (stupidly I'd left all the passes I've accumulated at home) and then bought the obligatory $10 bottle of water. The waitresses are very active in their job, hitting me up to buy a drink five seconds after I'd walked into the club and then again almost every time I had a conversation with a dancer. But after the required purchase they take No for an answer without any argument.
The club is annoyingly dark, so it takes a little bit of time for the eyes to adjust after you enter. There's a bar serving soft drinks on the left, several rows of seats and one large stage. Some of the girls dance under red lighting that makes it even more dark in the place while others, maybe the more confident ones, have bright lighting that makes it easy to see what's on offer. It's a nude club but some of the dancers only give small flashes of the cooch at the end of their two song set, while others give the full show. There's a few that do some solid pole work (on stage) but not all.
I'd checked the roster before going in and had noticed that a dancer that I'd met on my previous visit was working so I was hoping to connect with her. Sure enough, she's the next one on stage after I arrived. A slim brunette, light skinned Latina, with natural tits and a pretty smile. I headed up to the tip row to watch up close. I was the only one tipping so I got a nice up close view of the naked body that I was hoping to play with later. At the end I told her to come find me and she agreed with a smile. Unfortunately that turned out to be difficult as she was snapped up as soon as she came out of the dressing room and ended up being occupied for the next few hours.
Lusting after that one dancer put a little bit of a damper on the evening but I was still determined to have fun without her. There were close to 50 dancers to choose from so there were plenty of choices. The predominant ethnicity in this club is Latina, from broken-English immigrant types to native SoCal girls, from thick with enhanced tits and asses to slim, heavily tatted to natural. There were also some black girls, a few white and a few asians. There were several unattractive women (heifers or simply homely) but not enough to be distracting. My taste runs toward slim and natural and there were definitely a number of those walking around in their lingerie.
Lap dances are $20 per song, with fees paid up front to the bouncer at the entrance to a row of cushioned seats. There are solid dividers for a little bit of privacy but most of the seats have mirrors across from them, which allows you to see the couples to the left and right. More than once over the years I've spent a boring lap dance scoping out another dancer as she does her thing. Back in the day it was standard for a dancer to get topless on the first song and nude for the second but these days most dances are just topless. There are 3 for 40 specials frequently during the night but many dancers don't circulate when a special is called.
I got regular dances (2 or 3 at a time) with four dancers, three Latina brunettes and one asian girl. All were at least decent and I considered negotiating VIP with each of them had I not been waiting for that one dancer. The hottest of them was very upfront about extras but had a very high asking price (300/600). The asian dancer had a smoking hot body - petite with amazing naturals. I had heard that she was a no-extras girl, which I confirmed before taking her to the back for VIP. $125 for 15 minutes in a curtained cubicle with plenty of privacy (with $190 for 30 in a room with a door as the other option). She gave an excellent clean VIP, fully nude with mutual groping and plenty of flirty conversation.
It was getting close to 1am (with the club still quite busy) and I was thinking about heading out. I was just about to leave when I saw that first dancer strut out of the VIP, fully nude, and head to the dressing room and I figured it was worth staying just a little bit longer. When she reappeared and didn't head straight for another PL I was able to approach and get her attention. A short conversation (where she apologized for being so busy) and we headed off to the VIP. After an evening of buildup I was ready for release so I brought up extras almost as soon as I had her naked body on my lap. She asked $300 for FS but when I reminded her that we'd discussed $250 the last time she immediately agreed. On went the hat for a warmup BJ and then it was off to the races. A little while later I left the club satisfied.
Overall, a very enjoyable night in the club. Fixating on one dancer is a recipe for not having a great time but it ended up working out. Always be willing to pivot to a backup plan, at least when the club has a decent lineup.
