Mid-Tier Club Without Enough Value

I've been to the Landing Strip on multiple occasions, but almost always weekday afternoons. In general, the facilities are nice, but are definitely a step down from the more upscale clubs like Penthouse and Flight Club. A large stage occupies most of the main floor, while spacious booths line the walls. I don't recall whether there are smaller tables closer to the rail, as I always get a booth. I believe there is no cover or booth charges during the day shit. A few TVs over the bar are usually playing sports. The space feels slightly cramped to me, and the vibe is very low-key (almost sleepy). I've never seen it packed, so maybe it is just low-energy on the days of my visits.

The club always has a fair number of dancers, with a lot of racial diversity. Many of them are attractive and talented--I am aware of a few who also work down the road at Flight Club--though the dancer population on average is probably more similar to Silver Criket than to Flight Club. Fine, but not exceptional. I was first approached by a dancer who quickly became my favorite. She was smart and personable, and we bonded over things like music and education. But the other dancers I've met have all tended to present as slightly trashy once we start talking. I hear lots of baby daddy drama or gossip about fights in the dressing room, all of which is a turn off to me. I'm generally drawn to the classier dancers.

One of the biggest downsides to Landing Strip for me is the VIP rooms. They are downstairs, and it feels a little like a poorly lit dungeon. Typically, the space smells musty, and I've occasionally smelled the distinct scent of vomit. The attendant does not do much/any cleaning between customers, so I have encountered some leftover trash, which is always another turn off. I have only gotten dances, so I have no details on extras other than overhearing casual comments from dancers that make me think $150 can usually get you farther than just six songs. As a visual person, the dim lighting alone almost makes the VIP time not worth it for me, since I can barely see the dancer. There is a lot of two-way contact to offset the lack of vision, however.
