Back in the GGR Groove (Almost)

First time back in 13 months. Early evening, 5:30pm, on Saturday. Entrance fee $20, lap dance $25, VIP $140 for 15 minutes. One drink minimum.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the stage is completely surrounded by plexiglass. Dancers wear masks. There are slots at the bottom of the plexiglass through which you can pass dollars, touch the dancer (but not much), and talk a bit - the dancer has to put her head down near the slot to hear and be heard. Dancers can't see customers as the lighting over the stage makes the plexiglass act like a mirror from the dancer's view. This all puts some limitation on interaction with the dancer on stage - which I like. I guess we have to put up with it for a few more months. At least they are there.

I lowered my mask to sip my drink and no one bothered me (I'm vaccinated, so the mask is just for compliance from my point of view), so the strict mask policy must be loosening up, at least earlier in the evening.
