I drove up to see what...

I drove up to see what this club really had to offer. First, it's a 15 min drive NW of downtown Milw, but easy to get to just off the Hwy 45 exit. Second, it is clean, upscale and well designed. Most important, it is clearly designed and operated to get as much of your money as possible, as fast as possible and as often as possible! $10 cover, $4.75 for one domestic beer, tip aggressive stage dancers, $20 laps and (I didn't try this) $300 for a half hour "Champaigne Room" all add up to big bucks fast. I don't mind spending a little (and then a little more) in the cause of fun, but this was pushing my limits.

While I was there they had 3 dancers up at any one time, one center stage usually kept her clothes on, the other two (on each stage wing) danced topless. They moved to a new dance station after each song. I would have preferred 2 songs per station, but what do I know! One nice difference at Silk Ex is NO WI tip walk - the girls do not hit up every customer for a buck when they come off stage. There were lots of girls, I never tried to count but there were always 3 on stage, a doz or more on the floor, 5 or 6 at the bar and others doing laps or in the dressing room. The dancers ranged from a few in the 5 - 6 range up to several 8 -9 really hot lookers. I saw ladies for almost all tastes, including Hispanic, Asain, Black, blond, brunette, young and more mature, schoolgirl and biker babe - but no dogs. Many with tats and piercings, a few without either. Most were naturals with breasts from A's to big C's, but a few were clearly "enhanced."

There were several women customers in the crowd. Some ladies clearly came with their hubby/boyfriend but a couple of groups of women were also in the crowd with no man attached. A few of the dancers made a point of interacting with the lady customers and that was sometimes a better show than what was on stage!

THE DANCES: Lap dances are $20 each. House rules prohibit customers from touching the dancers, but many of the ladies seem to work hard to overcome that problem with extra effort, focused grindage and occasional "hands on" direction. They do have to be careful, there are cameras in the VIP as well as on the main floor.

I would have rated this place a 6 or 7, because it is so clearly a money mill - BUT = I discovered that take out is readily available. One young lady agreed to meet at her hotel room after closing and later also pointed out others who partied after hours.
