Dayshift Spins - Paradise

Location #3 in my OneGC adventure. Decided to check out their Friday dayshift (around 2pm).

Prices: Cover - $15 (one drink minimum). Drinks $8 (non-alc). Dance Specials: 3 song/$40 and $180/30min.

Venue: It’s in a strip mall directly in front of a busy street. So very open and visible in the daytime. Security standard (pat down, no ID scan). Square venue with multi-rowed bench seating along 3 sides of the square with the fourth side housing the bar. Clientele during this time of day skewed toward older guys. Doorman/attendants all were cool/friendly. Good size stage in center with ample seating. Privates are done in a back room where there are two rows of booths on opposite wall sides (i.e. you can see other people getting dances in front of you if they choose to sit across from you). VIPs are done in private rooms with curtains and adjustable lighting (paid at the bar). The good thing about these VIP rooms is that they (at least the one I was in) have a twin-sized leatherette futon in lengthwise orientation so you can actually lay down and extend your legs. As one dancer aptly put, “It’s like a huge dentist chair!”, lol. The bad thing about these VIP rooms is that the DJ’s speaker is too loud (or the room acoustics were crazy), so anytime he said something on his mic, it sounded as though he was directly behind you and the dancer. It was pretty distracting during the VIP dance.
