This is a pre-COVID review. Rick's is the go-to club for my friends and me. We've been there a few times, and the doormen welcome us back (whether they really remember us or not). If you're friendly to the doormen, you can get in without paying the cover charge.
They will take you to either a table or the bar. When we were last there, we had a table for the three of us, and the servers were coming around pretty regularly to serve us drinks. Drinks are less expensive before 8 PM. The bartenders and the servers will give you free passes with their names on them. Maybe that's a way that they get tips if you come back?
There is good diversity in the club. Lots of white, Latina, black, and Asian dancers. Most are good about trying to get a conversation going before asking about a dance. It depends on the dancer to how much touching they will do to you. Don't try to touch the dancers on the first floor, as the dancers or the security guys will tell you to stop. It's $20 per dance, and the songs go pretty fast.
Most of the dancers are good looking. On the night we were there, we got dances from Lily, Peyton, and Trinity. My friend went upstairs for the 30 minute private room. He said that they really push buying bottles up there, so you need to stay strong and not give in. He said that there are no cameras in the private room and the dancer touched him a lot more but wanted more tips for extras.
