Fantasia seems to be at the point in the typical cycle that is best from the customer's point of view. Business looks to be a little slow but there are plenty of attractive dancers who will treat you right in the VIP (assuming you are reasonably well groomed and polite). In the past I have noticed that this will usually self correct as some of the girls will quit/get fired due to the fines for missed shifts that they have trouble making back during a slow point in the business cycle. This then tends to make Mon-Thur a little more hit or miss. Once there is less competition among the top girls, tip levels aren't as flexible either. So enjoy the surplus while it lasts and if you negotiate well some real bargains can be had.

I dropped in the Thursday after New Years. It was pretty slow. Because they were closed Monday & Tuesday all the girls were supposed to work Wednesday & Thursday, but not all of them did. More than enough attractive dancers were in the rotation and provided plenty of enjoyable scenery on stage as well as walking around in the club. Since there weren't a lot of customers around, the girls seemed to be putting some real effort into getting hooked up with a VIP. I spent quite a while talking with several of my favorites and trying to gauge which was in the best mood for the hottest dance before picking out my current #1 and getting as good a 1/2 hour as ever from her. Later on I took a newer fave up for a shorter dance and got a lot more than usual for a 2 for $40 plus what I tipped. She was of course trying to get me to promise I would get my 1/2 hour from her next time. I just might at that, but my "to do" list of newer dancers who show real potential is as long as it's been in quite a while. And if I could only get Jennifer from behind the bar long enough for a VIP...
