Disappointing - Hustlers Raising Prices

I been to Vivid a few times and usually had a good time. But this trip was not great - somebody must have thought I was some kind of high roller, bc everybody tried to rip me off.

The club layout is still the same, bouncer at the door pats you down and checks ID (no scanner), and if you get one of the bookmark size coupons theres no $20 cover - but thats when they tell you theres a 2 drink minimum. Mandatory coat check down a couple of stairs, then a host type walks you down the short narrow hallway to the main club floor. DJ on the back left, small round stage with a pole in front that goes up to the 2nd (or 3rd?) floor, and around 10 chairs around small tables for pervert row. There are a couple of long benches along the wall by the DJ, but thats usually reserved seating, or where floor dances happen. On the right theres a long bar with around 8 chairs before the bathroom and a couple of tvs with sports on, and a small elevated couch for a couch dance on the wall facing the bar. Next to the couch is an elevator up to VIP areas, and a winding staricase next to it.

There are usually at least 15-20 girls working, a lot of curvy latin girls, a couple of black girls, and a couple of white girls. Dont think ive seen an asian girl - maybe once or twice. Music is mostly hip hop, spanish hip hop, or club songs - it can get loud near the stage.
