Intro: Living on the east coast, I rarely get to California, so when I travel and have free time, I try to make the most of it. This was my first-ever trip to clubs in the COI area, and over three days I visited Bare N Legal, Tropical Lei, Synn, Paradise Showgirls, Spearmint Rhino, DejaVu Showgirls, and Bare Elegance (in Hawthorne). See individual reviews for details from the perspective of a non-local.

I arrived at DVCOI on Monday at 9:00 p.m. Parking was free, and I used the pass I printed from the website for free entry. Bottled water was $5.00.

There were nine girls working, all white, young and reasonably attractive. They were running a special all night – three topless dances for $20 or three nude dances for $40, which I felt was a pretty good deal considering prices at some of the other clubs I visited in the area.
