A little disappointing. This was...

A little disappointing. This was my last stop of the evening on a recent Friday. Went from Willie's to PH to here, and surprisingly this wasn't the highlight of the night. So PT's and PH are apparently owned by the same holding company, which makes it even more of a head scratcher. The layout is table dancing and tiny stage dancing surrounded by couches. That part of it was as usual, but the place was more packed than usual since it was a Friday. First things first, I didn't get the cold shoulder treatment like I did the last time I was there. That was a plus. When you're one of a club full of people and the gals are hustling a tip is a tip. Ok, I did get one or two that was oddly choosy at first, but the gal I'd decided to try figured out that I was a paying customer and snapped out of it quick. I can't remember her name, two syllables and rhymes with "ella" maybe? Or was it "ena"? Anyhow, she was gorgeous (and knew it). That works, though, because she was naturally stacked (to the tune of double doughnuts and well-toned curves all over) with a Southern accent. Two for two. Still sexy when sweaty? Hat trick. Got her attention, didn't seem too pressed when she wanted a drink of water and she did wander back more quickly than I'd expected. When she plopped herself down on my lap and declared herself tired I believed her, since she'd been on stage or lapping nonstop since I'd walked in the door. Long story short (before we all get bored). Yes, got dances with her. She was hot and the dances were reasonable for the price. Very, very talkative, although for the second time in one night I didn't mind the chit chat. Not many nineteen year olds can hold my attention, but for whatever reason I think I was more interested in a diversion than grindage. Call it an RI hangover. I've had better LDs here, but not with the HUGE, BRIGHT chandelier in the back room. Where did this come from? WTF? The first place we sat nearly drove me blind. I saw the fuss in other PT club reviews about the VIP areas being ruined, but no heads up on this one. Would have helped to get the dip before I left a perfectly good vibe at PH to show up here. Draw your own conclusions on what this means for Your MMV. Parting shot, when I was giving my last pocket dollar to the mousey but friendly cute redheaded waitress (who said she was two weeks new) , I noticed a sectioned off area in the far corner of the club. To the right of the dressing room entrance, there is an LD area that is still in the dark. Smaller, with mirrors that catch angles that can be seen from certain seats in the open area. Check the views for yourself, but at the very least you won't feel like you're in a fry cooker. I'd thought about making a late nite run past the PT's Showclub, but the bouncer said why bother since they'd stopped serving alcohol and the scene was no better there. He had a point. With the cops having blocked off CO-30 for some unknown reason between Galena and I-25, wound up having to take the long way out from the area. It was just the way to round out a subpar visit. On the whole it was alright I suppose, but not up to snuff where it matters to the SC traveling band. C'mon guys, I'd been talking this up as a go-to spot. All together now, BOO Minneapolis!
