First visit to the New Century Theater, with some comparisons to the former Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater

I frequented the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT) for many years, but it closed in late 2020. I decided to try the New Century Theater (NCT) at 10 pm last night because their website currently offers free entry plus a free lapdance from 7 pm to midnight, Sunday - Tuesday.

While the New Century Theater is only two blocks away from the former MBOT, its surroundings seem more scarier. Also, I was carded and frisked at NCT, which was a first. (MBOT also had bouncers at the door, but their main roles seemed to be opening doors and escorting dancers.)

The woman working the front desk took a few hellos to look up from her phone, then tried to charge me $20 for entry. After I recited the website offer twice, she waived the admission fee and gave me a ticket for a free lap dance.
