Missing Vibes

So, I decided to check out this place across the river in St. Louis, thinking I'd be in for an unforgettable night. Let's just say, it was an experience, but not exactly the kind you’d write home about—unless you're writing about the most expensive nap you ever took.

First off, the place was clean, like really clean. I walked in and thought maybe I had stumbled into a high-end spa by mistake. The floors shined like they were polished every ten minutes and the air smelled like a mix of fresh linen and... disappointment. You could eat off the floor, but I wouldn’t recommend it because everything costs an arm and a leg.

Ah yes, the prices. If you're looking to spend your life savings on a couple of drinks, this is your spot. I’m talking drinks that cost more than my rent—yeah, it's that kind of place. You don’t just buy a drink here, you invest in it. I half expected the bartender to offer me a credit plan.

Now let’s talk about the VIP vibe. If you’re looking for an exclusive, high-energy, neon-lit, champagne-popping kind of experience—well, you might want to keep looking. The VIP section here has the energy of a corporate meeting. It was like they tried to go for "luxury," but ended up with "awkward boardroom." The only thing missing was a PowerPoint presentation on the cost of bottle service.

The dancers, though—shoutout to them for keeping up the energy. They had that “I’m doing this because I’m good at it, not because I want to” kind of confidence, which was... impressive, in a way. But despite their best efforts, it felt like the whole vibe was just missing that spark, you know? Like, everyone’s trying really hard, but it’s just not clicking.
