First, but not last visit

It was my first time visiting The Pony in Peoria and it won't be my last.

Upon entering, paid the $10 cover charge, had my ID scanned and got the mandatory wand check for weapons.

The stage, not elevated, was to your left upon entering, there are gaming machines to the right of the stage, the bar is straight back and the bathrooms are to the right.

Seeing no wait staff, I went to the bar to get my drink. Was immediately met by an attractive brunette who I would rate as a solid 8. Thought she knew me and immediately joined me at a table. After learning it was first time there, she gave me a tour and explained all of the dos and don'ts which I really appreciate. They have two types of VIP areas. One was $400 for 15 minutes and $ 800 for 30 minutes the second was $150 for 15 minutes and $300 for 30 minutes. BTW, they accept credit cards for VIP dances, it shows up like a bar tab. And then had cushioned chairs for private dances, $30 per song for no contact and $40 per song for full contact. Tipping at the stage is very limited, but it's suggested by the dancers to tip at least $2-3 if you are at the stage. It seemed like most patrons did multiple dollars at a time, even doing 5s and 10s. I made sure to reward my tour guide with a pair of private dances. I was VERY pleased with the full contact. Really wish I could remember her name. Would like to see her again, she said that she normally works days. As is my custom, I try a few other dancers before stepping up my game. A blonde named aptly Goldie was next. Tight body with multiple tattoos (not normally my type) but there was something about her. Again I must have a twin in the Peoria/Kappa area. Goldie thought she knew me from Kappa. Again I went with two full contact dances. Great mileage for the money. Finally, I need a big-boobed brunette (my favorites). Monica fit the bill and her two full contact dances were good but not as good as the first two ladies. Unfortunately my time was up and I didn't get a VIP experience but that's on my agenda for my next trip.

I really liked the lineup board next to the stage. You saw the names as they danced but I didn't catch onto it early enough to remember my original tour guide.
