OK, this place under an older name (Double D's) was a complete and total dump. Terrible layout, dirty and in need of repair, skanky women, etc... No redeeming value -- even cover charge and price of drinks was too high. Have noticed for quite some time that the sign had been replaced -- now called Celestial Bodies. Decided to "take one for the team" and check it out in the interest of research.

Upon entering, was struck by the still terrible layout (more details below). However, lots of cleanup work had taken place. New carpet, furnishings, decorative elements, etc... Much cleaner -- though bathroom could still use a little work. VIP rooms had been redone and are among the better in the area, both privacy and furnishings. Layout is still broken in half by huge stairwell to entrance -- club is on 2nd floor. One side has 2 stages, one fairly large and one small one tucked into back corner. Chairs along stage, but only very few tightly crammed tables near stages. The other half of the club houses bar and most of the tables, but no stage. Sightlines from bar/tables are horrible. Also, there is a "cage" stage tucked behind the stairwell, but it's almost unreachable so I'm not sure how dancers ever get a tip there.

Was told the club was definitely under new management, the same folks who run Visions in New Orleans east. This is a good thing. The dancer quality was greatly improved from the old Double D's -- which doesn't take much. Most of the dancers are apparently from Visions and rotate here. Also, the VIP dance I had was fabulous, easily one of the best ever in NO area.
