Tried again after nearly half a year - better but still not enough to regularly visit

Last time I visited Vanity the club was a big disappointment. The last few visits to Columbus Gold have been a bit off due to the holidays, add in several of my favorites were out of town, I decided to try Vanity the week before Christmas.

I paid the $10 cover and entered. I arrived around 9:30 and there was a few more customers than the last time, but not many. Maybe around 12 dancers. By 11:00, as I was leaving, the place was crowded with nearly 20 dancers, and around 40 or so customers. As I entered there were around 6 dancers sitting at the bar, and four customers at the bar, with two dancers sitting with customers the other 4 dancers scattered around the bar.

I entered the main stage, and while it looks the same, overly large stage with two poles and a circular hoop. One upgrade is the hoop is now lighted, yet still only two or three dancers use it. Not sure why they have it. The curtains that the dancers enter from look to be new. Whether this was needed is doubtful, because this visit not one dancer entered from behind the curtain but instead entered the stage from the right stairs.
