well oiled machine

I have heard many people refer to this club as a hole in the wall, but it is a well oiled machine masking as a hole in the wall in my humble opinion. Upon entering this early afternoon, I presented my saved screenshot of the $5 off to enter from the website and the guy at the front made a call on his walkie then asked me to show my phone to the over head camera. My guess is they have to account for every dollar and discounted entry. I would not be surprised if the turnstile had a counter for foot traffics as I noticed that the staff do not walk through it, but instead go out the exit that is next to the entrance. But I digress, it was $10 to enter and one drink minimum which was also $10... $20 in thus far. As many have described there is a stage in the middle of this small club with dance location on your left and a long seats on the right wall. Today there were +20 girls mostly staying inside the dressing room until call to do their two dance jaunt. The girls appear to pick their own songs as I saw one of them indicate to the DJ that she had chosen something else as her first song before waiting to dance. Undressing appears to be optional regardless of tipping as I saw some guy making in rain for quite a few of these lovelies and she only pulled her bra aside. While others will come onstage and be in full nude before the hook or chorus of the song plays. There are gaps between dances and there were long periods with no stage action and only a few girls milling about who were not with their regular. Dances were $20 per song and almost every 30-45 minutes on/after the hour or so there was a 3 dances for $40 call by the D+ rated DJ. I got a 3-for-40 from the wood breaker heavy set Hispanic who clearly had work done on her stomach, had some rhythm but was clearly trying to hurt me. I stopped her after song one and returned to my seat ...$60 in.. The songs appear to be full length, except for the 3-for-40.. but what the hell?! most of the other girls of this 11-6 shift ranged from a size 00 - 8 and 4 - 7 scale. no knockouts but no trolls. After this near phallus career ending event, i chose carefully who who would be next... Suki (sp) the robot was next .. attractive, intelligent and skillful dancer, but no energy on stage or in her dances.. $100 in now. Two more $40/2-dances underwhelming experiences from girls whose names I cannot remember and I'm now starting to people watch... some older guys is stalking this semi tatted 00 by moving to the side of the stage where she is dancing .. get a clue, dude! Three guys were either drunk or high were asked to leave when they got too rowdy and despite them being bigger and clearly more athletic than the burly "bouncer/door guy" they left with little protest. In my 3 hours here, the girls were not motivated to make money or their regulars were just not here yet. The were content to sit in small groups in a corner on their phones or alone pondering the sex of stripper angels LOL. One dancer mentioned that the club gets half of each dancer's take and then some as her friend had made $1500, but only got $600 in her hand... Rip off Club vs ROBs.. choices LOL. This is the part where I find it is a well oiled machine as no cash is paid to girls directly but to either the girl behind the bar or the guy at the steps to the dance area, both of whom record the transaction. There is a timer kept near the entrance for each of the makeshift VIP curtain areas to let them know your session is over... they come over and knock on the wall outside the curtain area. I tried a curtain VIP and a back room VIP which were a similar except for 15 vs 25 minute ($120/$180 respectively) time limit. Girl gets nude by the end of the first song, then talks shit in your ear for the next 3 or 4 songs. shiiite talk ranges from upselling the $180 backroom to the real upsell in the backroom from $100 for hj to 300 for deep throat bj followed by coition for another $100 .. I did not partake, but I wonder if they get to keep this cash for themselves or if the club gets half as well. Dances were decent with reasonable 2-way touching but nothing to write home about. There are CCTV cameras everywhere here including in the VIP curtained area and in the VIP backroom (whether they work or not is anyone guess, but I did see the monitor up front with the ability to toggle to a "room" ). I was not harassed to buy another drink even when my Redbull on ice was clearly watered down, but every girl that came over the bartender did appear to ask if i wanted to buy the girl of the moment a drink ...declined each time, but heard it was a +$2 markup. Overall, a C rating, have experienced worse and mileage will obviously vary .. not in a hurry to return.. but not a No
