SHORT VISIT. SEEMED OK.

In town on business, this was my first visit to Centerfolds – on a Friday, from 7:30-8:30. They have both open and valet parking; paid $12 at the door, and was gouged $7.50 for bottled water at the bar (not special water – the kind you can buy by the case at Costco or Sam's Club for nine cents a bottle). They had an OK-looking supper buffet, which included grilled salmon, but I did not partake.

Oddly (to me, anyway), there is no seating at the bar, which is where I usually like to sit if it affords a good view of the stage. There were about 20 dancers on duty at this early hour, all pretty, and from a variety of ethnic groups. The ones I talked to were very friendly, and I took a couple for $20 lap dances, which are done (topless, mostly, with some kitty flashes) around the perimeter of the room. There are some really dark corners, which provides some cover; touching was encouraged, and stick shifting (some up the leg of my commando shorts) seemed the norm.

There is a "bottle charge" for the VIP upstairs. I asked one girl how much that was, to which she replied "What time is it?" It was about 8:15, and she said it was $100 (plus at least $20 per song to the girl). As an alternative, I was offered a hand job for $100 in our dark corner, but I declined. I didn't see the value in that, and wasn't interested in exploring if she was open to a reduction in that fee.
