Visited on a Saturday night around 11 PM; the place was as jumpin' as it ever gets, maybe 30 guys and ten dancers. Only one stage, but two dancers at a time. More black than non-black dancers, most carried a little too much weight, a couple were scary skinny. No cover, but a two-drink minimum. You get a ticket when you enter the club; when you buy your first drink you pay for both and get your coupon signed. You turn the coupon in for your second prepaid drink. Music courtesy of a CD jukebox rather than a DJ; this is good, since you avoid the damn DJ noise, but bad in that there are occasional moments of silence that can be embarassing if you're not expecting them and are in the middle of saying something, um, "not for public consumption" when the silence hits.

2 bucks buys a quickie lapdance at the tipping rail. I didn't get into negotiations for private dances. Others have described the "private" dance area well; suffice to say you need to have a minor predilection for exhibitionism to really get the most out of the space.

Buy a girl a drink at your table and she'll shake hands with all three arms. She'll be genuinely interested in seeing how hard you're paying attention and all that; once she gets the little head doing the thinking, she'll make her sales pitch. Enjoy the process. Negotiate up front. Play safe.
