Hot dancers, good dances, terrible dance purchase process

I stop in the Hustler club most times I swing through St. Louis. Over the last few years it's been one of my favorite clubs. It reliably has hot dancers, excellent stage shows, good dances, and halfway decent pricing. This was all more or less true on my last visit.

I arrived Friday evening, shortly before eleven. In the past arriving before ten has resulted in a very slow club, as many dancers don't arrive until after that. This time around the club was still quite slow at eleven, and despite being a Friday night never picked up. There were customers, but lots of empty tables. The cover charge was $25. Dancers and others hand out cards that you can use on a return visit to save $15, leaving the $10 charge for the wrist band that you need to get lap dances.

The club is nice inside, perhaps a bit too brightly lit. There's one main stage, a smaller caged stage that isn't always used, and a large bar. There are lots of upholstered chairs at tables around the club (and some VIP/costly couches). Water was between $4 and $6, I don't recall exactly.
