Went here recently on a Friday night (not a First Friday) and left overall satisfied, if a bit with mixed feelings.
The dancers working here consistently rate from above average to smoking hot. Nobody here that I wouldn't have been comfortable getting a lapdance from. It comes down to chemistry with the dancer for me. I want to be relaxed and comfortable and feel some kind of connection with her. It wasn't particularly busy when I went so the listless vibe of the place somewhat carried over to the dancers. With one exception they weren't in a mood to hustle. The one that actually showed interest in a VIP experience wound up getting my money. Two other dancers gave me lapdances but they didn't seem super into it. All business. The one I took to VIP was friendlier and seemed into it. That's pretty much all I ask for. A little connection.
Bazooka's is still probably the best place in KC. Perhaps had I gone on a busier night they would have felt a little uptight. So my experience was average, but it may have been a circumstance of when I went and not anyone's fault.
