Generic Experience - VIP will cost you

Was in Chicago on work and this seems like one of the few places in city proper itself. I’m sort of an interesting area - upscale shopping area immediately across from a Whole Foods, so really doesn’t fit at all. After walking into the entrance from the street, I paid the $20 cover and walked in. It was early (Saturday at 9 pm) so still felt like the night was getting going - roughly 10-15 girls around with one stage dance at a time happening.

I grabbed a drink at the bar and settled in to watch. Was approached by 2-3 girls in the first 10 mins - mostly brunettes, most with fake tits, most with tattoos. Not really my type and was just settling in, so waved them off. I was appreciative none were too pushy. The overall club is situated as one large room, with VIP separate. It’s nice to be able to sit at the bar and watch the stage without necessarily needing to be too close

After 1.5 beers, started chatting with a cute blonde, petite wearing a pink bikini and was impressive on stage. They really push towards VIP but I took a $30 one song floor dance to get a flavor. I asked how much VIP was - she said $400 for 30 mins which I absolutely was not paying so politely told her know. It seems like the dancers hold back on the floor dances to upsell VIP.
