First time at the new Sapphire/old FD location!

I decided to visit the "new" sapphire at the old FlashDancer's location, just to check it out.

Cover was $20, I got in and found the club was surprisingly empty in terms of numbers of other PLs. Generally that could be a good thing, but in this case it was a bit extreme as I felt all the dancers's eyes were on me. There was literally no one by the stage, and some girl was on it gyrating lackluster-ly given there was no one to dance for.

So the setup: the bar area looks the same as the old Flash, but they definitely modified the venue so now the center stage is surrounded by many small tables and plush chairs (as opposed to a T-shape lined with chairs, like the old FD). The elevated platforms are still there off to the sides, but apparently they are now VIP areas that require extra charge, and all regular $20 LDs now happen right near the stage and open to prying eyes.
