I arrived at Christie's just after...

I arrived at Christie's just after 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 12th, 2008. I paid the $7 cover and went in. There were fewer than ten customers and probably five to eight dancers working ranging in appearance, coincidentally, from about five to eight. They have one main stage and two satellite stages. The main stage is at the bottom of a flight of stairs. After the dancer on stage completes her three-song set, she's required to take the next dancer by the hand and lead her to the pole. The girls have the option of dancing nude on stage but I only saw one do so.

I sat down away from the stage and ordered a bottled water ($4). I was immediately joined by a dancer. After about twenty minutes, I asked her for a lap dance. The dances are $20 per song if the girl only removes her top and $40 per song if she's nude (some girls won't perform these nude). There's no real private area for them; they can be performed right in your seat out on the floor. There's a chair though below the stairs that's mostly hidden from view. That's the only place where I saw dances being performed. I had four dances with three different girls and they were all good low milage dances.

There's also an area at the top of the stairs in full view of most everyone on the floor where you can spend a half hour with a girl for $100 and the purchase of a bottle of champagne. None of the girls I talked to had ever sold one of those. They also have regular VIP rooms that cost $200 for a half hour or $300 for an hour. There are cameras in the rooms and the bouncer stops by at least once per half hour. The quality of the dances that I received in there was exactly the same as a lap dance out on the floor.
