Seems to have gone downhill
I've been going to this place for years and recently returned after a long absence. Don't know what the day shift is like nowadays (other reviewers have said it's bad), but the night shift seems to have really gone downhill. I remember night shift used to have quite a few genuinely hot dancers. Now, it seems to be mostly fat, nasty, old hags. I don't think I saw any hot new talent at all. Well, I did see one new dancer who's young, fit, and has a pretty face, but her body is too manly for my taste (broad shoulders and narrow hips). There is one dancer here who's very young and absolutely gorgeous (I think she looks like Scarlett Johansson, possibly prettier), but she's been working at the Hugger for about 3 years. The hotties are mostly gone. There were a few new girls who were kind of OK, but just barely, while the number of whales is just off the charts.
Also, as has been mentioned numerous times, these dancers are too busy with their regulars. They seem to spend inordinate amounts of time hiding in the back room, and when they come out, they go either on stage or sit at a table with their regulars. Quite often, they are too busy to give you a dance even if you come up to them when they're alone and ask them. Most infuriatingly, when you stop dancers who are walking past you and ask them for a dance, they have a habit of telling you they'll be back "in a second," then they go to the back room, and when they come out, they walk right past you and to someone else (presumably another regular). Either that, or they just get dressed and leave without ever getting back to you (if it's toward the end of their shift). I mean, how hard is it to just say that they don't want to dance for you so that you won't be waiting for them? Note that I haven't really encountered this problem at Spearmint Rhino is Las Vegas, for example. At that place, many girls may ignore you (and the ugly ones pester you for dances), but if you come up to a girl who isn't already with someone and ask for a dance, she will almost certainly be available IMMEDIATELY.
Speaking of regulars at the Hugger. I remember a particularly egregious case of a hot dancer (seems she's no longer there) who seems to have spent pretty much every single hour of her every single shift at the Hugger with one regular. This fat old dude would come in at the start of night shift and STAND at his table, waiting for her. Then she'd arrive and they'd eat takeout dinner at their table. Every time she went on stage, this fat creep would follow her, holding her hand. He'd stand right in front of the stage while she was dancing, and then they'd go back to their table. And this would repeat every time she was at the Hugger. Seriously, WTF??
