Spinner

I'd been here once maybe 10-11 years ago, mainly watching stage dances and nuzzling a friendly LSU coed in her scant outfit.

On my Monday night visit this week the club charged $3 for valet parking, $10 cover on a Monday night after watching the hockey game (Caps demolishing the Pens!) at the hotel bar. $13 cost before I got a $6 beer offered by the check-in hostess with the bouncer standing next to her.

Inside, the club is upscale, a round floor plan with full, long bars on two sides and a strange barbell shaped stage (?) in the middle (or two round stages with poles in the middle of each and a runway between them, if you will). About 6-7 dancers in total , half of them sitting with two white-haired, well-dressed PL's, a few other well-dressed guys scattered with suited guys with headsets. Perhaps overkill for a Monday night, but I guess with the name on the outside they aim for high end. On either side of the entrance cecthere are two mysterious staircases, which lead to more private frivolity. More on that in a moment.
