How does this place stay open?

I had a very weird night in St. Louis on a Saturday at 1 am. I drove to Rhonda's, they were closed, I drove to Wise guys, they were closed. It felt like the city was a ghost town. There was a huge storm that night, but I would expect things to be slow not closed, especially on a Saturday. Then I decided to check out Dollie's, which was open, but it was a pathetic experience. See I thought St. Louis was a sort of sin city in the middle of the country, but this left me befuddled.

There was a $10 cover and a $10 jack and Coke. There were only two dancers and one was on her way out. They told me the speaker system wasn't working so I was sitting in there with about 7-8 other men 3 women (a bartender and the 2 dancers) in mostly silence.

There was a tall, thin, black dancer who was cute. Though conversation was weird, she was asking me about my tattoos and my beads but seemingly didn't absorb anything. The only services available was a private room/private dance and that was offered at 300 though negotiated down to 200 no idea what was available extras wise.
