Somebody tell them this ain't Vegas.

I went to Scarlett's very recently. It was my first time there in quite a while, and my first time in an even longer time going there at night. During day shift hours, I had been given a VIP card, which I used to avoid the absolutely obnoxious $30 cover, so that was pretty much the only highlight.

I went in and had a seat at a table. A server eventually came over and took my drink order. A soda - when she finally came back - cost $6.

I knew Scarlett's had raised prices since the fire and rebuild a few years ago. The last time I was there and actually saw someone I was interested in doing dances with, it was $50 per song or $200 for a 15 minute room, with rates going up from there. I can't tell you the exact price of dances right now, though, because I didn't see anyone I wanted to do dances with.
