Finally a visit to Follies after 2+ years

I haven't had travel to the ATL area in over 2 years so I had to visit Follies. I visited Wed and Thurs, both days from approx. 6-9pm. The valet fees may change my future travel plans as parking was $10 on Wed and $20 on Thur. I asked why the change on 2nd visit when timing was similar and valet said because they had a line for entry (4 people waiting). I thought this was excessive but I haven't visited in years so may be the norm now. If I stay at a nearby hotel like usual I'll be using Uber/Lyft in the future.

Now for the club and dancers. The club seemed very similar inside and the pot smell hasn't gone away unfortunately. I didn't visit the new VIP rooms but heard from a waitress that recognized me that they're very nice. However, she also mentioned the club has changed for the worse since my last visit. I didn't press her for specifics but I got the feeling it was the dancers mostly. She used to dance on and off in the past as well. I had several floor dances both evenings and didn't notice any difference in quality other then some dancers kept bottoms on at least for first few songs. I met a few new dancers on Wed and then Thur a former favorite dancer saw me first and I ended up spending the next 1-2 hrs with her. In hindsight, I should have gone directly to VIP because I spent more and think she tried to up the total number. I said stop a few times for breaks but we never left the back mirror coach so a difference was bound to happen.

I noticed a change around 8pm just like the past and didn't plan to stick around much after that. Hopefully I can visit earlier in the afternoon next time because I'm thinking some of the better dancers may have left before I even arrived both days around 6:30pm. I found a lower quantity of dancers I prefer but with the big gap since prior visits this could be normal.
