Comparing to Cheerleaders

First time here, will largely be comparing to Cheerleaders which is just down the street.

Place: Easy access off main road in industrial area, parking on side of building or in lot next door, seemed reasonably safe. Metal detector. Room is mostly a large bar surrounding stage with 2 poles. Similar to Cheerleaders there is a gap between bar seating and the stage, so if you want to tip while girls are dancing you need to crumple/fold money and throw it. Otherwise you tip during the obligatory tip parade. Mostly bar seating, there is an elevated second level with tables which I did not investigate. Smoking allowed and permeates the air.

Lap dance room is much larger, more spread out, and more brightly lit than Cheerleaders. Large leather couch/alcoves. It seemed more worn down and depressing appearing to me than the Cheerleaders room. Pay 20 up front to attendant for first dance, then pay directly to the dancer for additional dances.
