Are you willing to spend your hard-earned money on air dances?

I was on my way to MCO and when I passed by Rachel's on the tollway I noticed that the parking lot was packed. I have always been under the impression that Orlando strip clubs suck, so when I saw a full parking lot, I decided to loop back around and see why the club was so busy at 8pm on a Friday. I quickly refueled my rental car across the street from Rachel's and found a parking spot in the full lot.

As I approached the building, I was stopped by a security guy and wanded. He asked if I was carrying a pocket knife. I entered the club and paid a $10 cover to get in. As I entered the club, my first impression was pretty good. The club's web site has a great visual of what the club looks like inside. It's nice club. I made my way over to the long bar to grab a beer. I passed several dancers sitting down at tables talking with each other. I was actually impressed with the talent that I was seeing. Mostly young latinas and many thin without much ink. I saw 5-6 girls that were definitely my type.

As I sat at the bar, I started up a conversation with the guy next to me to get a feel for the club and what they offered. This customer asked me where I was from and immediately began to manage my expectations. He indicated that Rachel's is less of a strip club and more of a place for customers to come and hangout. He suggested that most guys come in to drink and see hot girls on stage and to talk with. He also shared that the dances are basically air dances and customers are not allowed to touch. He also informed me that there is no private vip rooms and girls have to wear pasties. Everything is wide in the open and dances are $20.
