Not the club I remember

I decided to take a trip out to XO after over a year since it had been one of my favorites. When I walked in the price was $21 for admission to the club which consists of a large rectangular stage with two poles surrounded by chairs. On your left is a staircase leading to the VIP and to the right of the stairs is a small bar serving water/juice/soda. The right side has 6-7 lounge chairs that have seen better days with the lap dance area behind it. The lap dance room is just an open space with partitions separating each area so you can't see the other customers but you can see the dancers. There is a wall separating the lap dance area from the rest of the club which is where the lounge chairs sit in front of. On this night there was no one on stage when I came in and a large Cuban girl named Laura who spoke no English came over and pushed for a lap dance or VIP. I decided to go for a single lap dance and while she was aggressive, I just wasn't into her. She was rather large and had a body odor that I just couldn't ignore. She charged me $25 for the dance which used to be $20 last year. When I came out there was a girl on stage who I recognized named Cream or Medusa. She has a nice tight body and wasn't shy about showing every bit of it on stage. After a brief chat I found that most of the girls I knew were no longer there. She promised to come back for a dance but you never know how long that will be even with just a few other customers there. The next girl I saw was an ebony princess named Cat who was also not shy about showing all the goods on stage. After she finished, we talked and went for a lap dance. She charged $30 for the dance which was very nice with lots of roaming encouraged. All in all, I was disappointed in the quality of the talent compared to what I was used to last year. Granted, it was a Tuesday, but it was still not a great lineup. Then there was the fact that the lap dance prices were dependent upon who the dancer was and it had me wondering who is managing this place where the girls seem to be making their own rules for lap dances. I may give it another shot on a different day, but I have to say the club has gone downhill since last summer.
