Full nude, no booze, nice girls, not much mileage but a pleasant waste of time

I was in Chicago for business and decided visit one of my old haunts, The Admiral Theatre. This club has been around forever and not much has changed in the past few years apart from the dance prices. $28 cover charge, $10 topless table, $20 nude table, $100/3 songs in the booth area (curtains), $6-8 for drinks (soda, juice, water, non-alcoholic cocktails). I don't do the VIP rooms but I think they go from $250 to $500. Prices seem to go up every year or two.

The atmosphere is pretty laid back. There's stage seating, tables and VIP tables. I'm usually at or close to the stage since the stage dances are usually, but not always, full nude. There's an extra charge to sit in the VIP area but it's far from the main stage. There are a lot of girls who hover around that area though. The performers do a 2-song rotation on stage, and when the club is busy they'll open up the two small side stages. I prefer to go on nights when it's busy since there are usually more girls and more action.

My last visit was on a Sunday so it's wasn't very crowded. By 10pm there were about 15 dancers floating around. There are two TVs high on the left and right walls near the stage and sometimes they play softcore loops but more often it's local sports. Most of the evening I was parked at the stage, courtesy tipping every dancer. I believe there's a rule that performers can't come up behind a guy at the stage to ask for a table or VIP dance if there's another performer on stage. I enjoy tipping and I don't want to have to say no to a lot of private dance requests, so this usually suits me.
