Can't believe we fell into this tourist trap

Made the mistake of ending up here after hitting the bars in West Hollywood on Saturday night around 1am. I was with four other people including a friend's wife. I, being the only seasoned SC veteran out of the bunch, warned them but they insisted on checking it out. I've never been here before but know this place's reputation thanks to this site so I was on high rip-off alert. It's walking distance from a lot of bars/clubs in hollywood so a lot of drunk, horny guys are bound to turn up here after the bars close. The cover charge was $20 per person. I don't remember if drinks were mandatory but we all got water bottles. Don't remember the cost of them since my buddy paid for them.

Dancers were cute( 6-8 range) but I had no interest in getting any dances due to the low mileage rep of this joint. A lot of white dancers which I'm not used to seeing these days. Stage seemed pretty busy. Dances I think were quoted at $30 each. Not sure if nude or topless. I recognized a dancer from Bare Elegance here and went to say hi to her. I would disclose her name but not sure if she would want that. She said there were 2 more girls from BE trying out this club but I didn't recognize them. She said she's usually here on the weekends due to high traffic from the bars. I spent about 15 mins talking to this girl but I could see my group wasn't really into it and girls weren't into stopping by to chat. It was a pretty painful hour spent here. I felt bad for my buddy who dropped $100+ just for our cover charges and drinks. Anyway, a lesson learned.
