Others have already described the set up at Club Cabaret and it seemed unchanged to me (and yes, I IS a little strange!). I wrapped up business in Peoria and decided not to try Big Al's tonight, this club is only 10 minutes from downtown. Cover was $5 and drinks were $3.25 to $7. Tonight there were about 12-14 ladies working the room, some of them were 8s and 9s but there were also a few 3s and 4s working. I didn't understand the feature dance at first when I watched 2 ladies in a row come out and dance lethargically through 2 songs without taking anything off. But the third dancer cleared that up when she came out. A few minutes after she started dancing a customer sat down in a chair along the side of the main stage and started offering dollars - then the clothes started coming off!! - all of them! Seems the dancers don't strip until the customers offer incentives, but then they do get busy.

Ladies were good at working the room and only one was a little pushy with me. Mostly they were very nice and a few were great with conversation and happy to spend a few minutes at your table. I tried lap dances with a couple of different girls and both were sincerely interested in seeing I enjoyed the dances. Rules prohibit the customer touching the dancers - and bouncers often come in the couch-dance room to check - but the girls are allowed a some freedom in touching the customer! Good grindage from both the ladies and they did offer a visual treat as well. One dancer was a little "less" restrictive than the other. YMMV.

One of the 9s was kind enough to return to my table with me after the dance and talked with me for half an hour. She did mention a VIP room with "much" more privacy and said the house takes $25 and each dancer sets her own price for 1/2 hour visits. May try that if I return.
