No Regular, No Play

I arrived on a Saturday night around 11:00 and the place was packed. Cover was $20 right when you walk in to your right after the metal detector and bouncer pat down out front. I grabbed a seat at the bar on the side closer to the main stage so that I could tip the dancers during their sets. Grabbed a bottled beer ($8, left a tip so round up to $10).

When I tell you I was there for an hour with over $500 in my pocket ready to spend and not a single dancer approached me the entire time. I like to think of myself as a pretty nice looking guy, wore jeans and a quarter zip, and yet not one interaction with a dancer that was not me tipping the stage set.

It appeared all of the dancers had regulars they were either with or waiting for (as I saw multiple dancers sitting on their phones then walk straight to the front door, grab a guy, and walk straight to VIP.
