So Delta Variant has come, and will soon be gone, but I recently took a trip to Penthouse and I want to comment if things have changed. The good news is that, for the most part they haven't. Mask use was... appropriate. For the most part, dancers will wear them on stage, and so will staff. But they aren't required as long as you are sitting, since technically you can say you are enjoying food or drink. So that is good news.
I want to address some concerns about dancer quality. I think, for the most part, they are getting a more diverse set of dancers, for better or worse. I think a lot of people here come for the hollywood white girl kind of look , and that can still be found. But it just isn't always that. The dancers are still beautiful in their own way. Although, I did once see one that was a bit on the heavier side.
I think what is a bit different are dancer attitudes, but it isn't at all bad. It feels like slightly more dancers are coy and not so forward about approaching. Also, private rooms can be a bit hit or miss. Some of the more experienced and flirty girls, such as Pandora and Ricki are at other clubs. I think it is recommended that, at the very least, to get a single dance or a 15 minute room BEFORE doing anything longer. Also be prepared as some dancers still attempt to ask for tips and upsell you AFTER the dances have been completed. Some also spend time in private rooms talking and not dancing, which is a bit frustrating. I also recommend not getting too many consecutive private dances for this reason.
Side note. I'm starting to get a reputation at this club, as customer and many of the staff are warming up to me and suggesting dancers. I think Tyler is really good for this and his suggestions as to who to take to private rooms are pretty good. He is one of the shorter, buff, and sort of polynesian staff there. I'm sure other staffers can give good suggestions as well. I've learned that almost all of them expect tips, and will ask them from the dancers, so taking care of this goes a long way towards having them REALLY treat you like a VIP.
But all of this means the club is becoming more expensive. It is what it is. Biden and J Powell's money printer makes this sort of inevitable. And we end up paying. I don't think it is bad, as other clubs are also having the same issues . But know that the real experience comes from paying more than what is advertised.
