I just moved back to Seattle and went to Sands today. It is definitely OPEN. one thing that sets it apart from all but one or two other clubs in seattle is that there is a bar right next door and customers are free to go back and forth without paying an additional cover charge. Entry price is $10 and includes one soda.
The club hasn't changed much over the years in terms of layout. Watch the steep step between the bar and dancing area. There's a pool table by the restrooms, but annoyingly, the mens stalls don't have doors which if you had to use them would be very embarrasing. Very few girls at 2pm, even though they had been open for hours. Nice clean club, but there were only two girls working at the beggining and then two more showed up about an hour later. had some dances from Vanessa that were amazing but didn't go to VIP, she wanted $500 for 30 minutes which seemed like a lot considering her dancers weren't that hot. Probably wouldn't go back again, seems very hit or miss, no published schedule.
