An OK time but not OK pricing

I haven't been to a strip club in a while, preferring instead to let the ladies come to me. But I promised a visiting friend a strip club evening and I had free passes for 4Play so that was my choice. I haven't been here for well over a year since my favorite dancer there retired but I know the lineups are always fine eye candy and in that respect, they didn't disappoint. I can't think of another club in the L.A. area that has better looking ladies though they don't have quite as wide a variety of ethnic and body types as some other clubs. A lot of these ladies look alike.

We arrived a little before 9 PM and got in on the passes. My past experience here has been that between 10 PM and about 1 AM, the place is packed with patrons and the ladies are too busy to sit and talk with you. The other hours, it's practically empty and they sit around talking to each other and looking at their phones so a lot of getting acquainted is possible, which I like.

Since we got in on passes, I'm not sure of the admission price but I think it's $30. Drinks aren't cheap and they're non-alcoholic since it's technically a nude club. I say technically because the private dances are topless or at least they're supposed to be topless. I've had dancers make their lower parts available for inspection when no one was looking although that didn't happen last night. The girls don't all get nude on stage and the lighting is usually pretty dark and I don't understand why the club doesn't convert to topless and serve booze. This is not the place to go if you want to see total nudity because even when the girls do get totally naked, you don't see much.
