I actually ended up at Penthouse...

I actually ended up at Penthouse Club by accident one afternoon because I was on the freeway I-64 and went the wrong way on Rte 3. I actually wanted to go to Brooklyn, but as long as I was headed for Sauget I decided what the heck I might as well check out Penthouse. The place is elegant as all heck, with lots of plush carpet, glitzy furniture, fancy lights, big attendent-staffed bathroom, a real DJ with smartmouth remarks about the upcoming nude golf game etc etc. I was definitely impressed. Also every girl that came on stage was attractive. A couple of them had fake tits which turns me off big time but apparently appeals to enough of us guys that it is worth the investment for the girls. After about 3 blondes of varied size/shape, a lovely young brunette came on stage. There weren't very many customers, and when I stood up with a couple of dollar bills in my hand she came over to collect her tip before she began dancing. I told her how much I appreciated seeing a brunette. I didn't say anything to her about her breasts, but I also appreciated that they were all-natural (not very large -- probably a B cup.) Her name is Mia. Then she went into her act. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. This dancer had the best pole-dancing skills I have ever seen in my life. She seemed to defy the laws of gravity, and was as graceful as a ballet dancer. This is not what I go to strip clubs for, but believe me, it was better than most of what I get in that department. ARTISTRY IN MOTION. If her teaching and coaching skills match her pole skills she should open a combination pole dancing and exercise studio. She has to be in superlative physical condition to do those pole tricks without appearing to expend any energy. I managed to get in another short conversation with her between songs and I told her very bluntly how great she was, and then she said she is a professional acrobat. That figures. She made it kind of obvious that she wasn't really interested in talking to me -- when her set ended she disappeared from whence she came. I was disappointed but not surprised. It is sad that Penthouse Club charges so much for private dances. I just don't see the value. But it is definitely a high-end place and maybe they are only interested in catering to the high rollers. None of the dancers suggested the idea of a private dance to me, and after Mia disappeared I just left -- with a little lump in my throat. On basis of my overall experience, I would say Penthouse Club is an average strip club - hence the rating of 5. But Mia as an individual performer earns a solid 10 in my book.
