Continuing my tour as I head...

Continuing my tour as I head East, I visited BE on a Friday just before noon. The parking was three bucks, or $10 if you needed a valet's help. I had a free admittance chit from last Spring at the Jet Strip so the $6 entry fee was avoided. There are a couple of stages, but only the small, circular one was in use. The stages are not well lighted and the dancers, although they do quite a bit of floor work, don't get close and aren't highly visable. This isn't like Tampa where "close" is unarguable. The mandatory (I think) drink was something like $5.75, but make it seven with tip. There were fifteen or so customers and plenty of girls. The style here as at the Jet Strip (LA area?) is to sit at the rail and tip, or occupy a table if you are a lap dance candidate. The girls pretty much don't bother you for laps at the rail. I had laps from three different dancers. The first took me to the VIP area which has a mandatory 3 dance minimum ($83 daytime, $106 nights). The area has "private", curtained booths, and I didn't notice any activity monitors (Sex Nazis). The second allowed there was another area with one-at-a-time $30 dances. I didn't try this so I can't describe it. You pay the bartender after the session. No point in complaining about this. It's the law. The first two performances were pretty good, the third a total bust. So far as I could determine everything was legal and above board. No extras were offered. The girls were attractive, but not hot.
