It's been almost 2 years since...

It's been almost 2 years since my last visit to Tuxedo's. It was nice to see a few changes. The lighting has improved, both on the stage and around the room. The addition of big-screen TVs is a big plus. And the DJ is less-annoying and not so loud. Easy to see why the crowd had doubled since last time.

And there were a lot of things that haven't changed. Still a very laid-back atmosphere. Still pretty open seating with a lot of space around the lone two-pole stage. 6-7 dancers ranging from 4 to 7-8, which is pretty good in this area for a Monday night. The dancers are on stage for 2-3 songs. Some go topless during the first song and nude for the second, while others take it all off right away. There was only one dancer that did get completely nude, for good reason so I don't think anybody minded. Tuesday night was the same. It's BYOB and they allow bottles. You also get a bracelet when you walk in, so you can go to the gas station down the road if you need more. The pricing scheme has changed a little, it used to be $20 per song, although I noticed that it varied slightly from dancer to dancer. My first private dance was $20 for the first song and $10 each song after that. I was also offered 3 for $55 and $15 per song from two other dancers. One thing that hasn't changed is that you get full songs, no clipping. The private rooms are an additional $5 paid directly to the doorman, but are worth it. There are video cameras, but the room is pretty dark and the lone watcher is also the guy that helps the dancers onto and off of the main stage, so there is frequently a window where you know no one is watching. Choose wisely and it can be a lot of fun;-)

They've added the "all up" feature that has become so popular, where all of the dancers get on stage and it's first-come first-served for private dances (usually a 2-for-1 special). There is also a "dollar dance" set where there is a dancer on stage and all of the other dancers circulate around the room offering dollar dances. Kind of a rip for the dancer on stage because many of the customers are distracted. But great for the customer because you get a quick, cheap sample of all of the girls.
