High Quality, Low Quantity

Tiny little joint with a printed plastic banner the only indication of where to find it. Your Maps app will likely lead you to the wrong side of the strip mall, and you'll be certain that there is no possible way that this strip mall has stores on the other side, and yet, there it was. Cover was $20, no drink included. Layout is pretty simple. You have the stage/pole in the middle, with the investor seats all around it. Then long benches with tables. Behind the benches on the same side as the entrance is lap dance area ($20/dance, though DJ regularly announced 3/$40 lap dances, but I never actually saw anyone go back for one). There is maybe a half-wall between, but no shenanigans will be happening there. The two corners "couches" of this section have curtains that can be pulled all the way around for "private" lap dances ($120/15). Events can transpire there but you'll be a foot or two from the DJ or other dances, potentially. Lastly they have a few private rooms with curtains for doors, but they also put up a chain w/ a sign while dances are in session ($180/15). Cameras in the room due to past issues, but apparently not functioning.

There is a big quality/quantity trade-off with the Talent. Almost every dancer there I knew from the before times at Synn COI (Alyssa, Andrea, etc). Mostly upper shelf talent, though not everyone has been doing cardio during the lockdown. Unfortunately there were just very few total dancers present. Granted I arrived at 630 and left maybe at 10, but I would have expected more than 6 to be working by the end. Girls got on the pole maybe once every 15-20 minutes, for two songs. A lot of down time, mostly because the curtains and rooms kept busy. Very low pressure sales here, but there is certainly some caveat emptor. If you want to go the extra mile, I got quoted everywhere from 300 to 1000 depending on who you were talking to.

Biggest warning is the Drink Slinger. I have come to expect a mark-up if I want to pay for the room on a card, but 10%, plus they will round your dance to the nearest hundred BEFORE applying that number, and give you it as cash back. $180 became $220, with a twenty being given back. No forewarning. In unrelated news I need a bank that lets me withdraw $500 in a day.
