I think this place is called...

I think this place is called "Westside" now, but it's definitely the same place. A turnstile up front leading to a well-lit front room with a small stage and a couple of tables, a large dimly-lit backroom with a long stage, a couple of lap-dance booths in the back.

Arrived around 30 minutes after midnight, $20 cover. One other customer, plus a farty old mobster doing his ledger at one of the tables by the stage. Absolutely no action. Nobody dancing, about eight girls clumped together by the bar looking glum. Place is supposedly all nude, but not one girl was even topless.

The hostess approached, maybe named Gia (white, brunette, early 30's, one of the cuter ones there -- probably 7.5). She quoted $20 for a lapdance, $275 for VIP. She seemed eager to please, but I wanted to settle in first, hoping to see some dancing. Nope. Waitress comes over to make me buy a drink ($5 water and $1 tip), tries to get me to buy her one too, then offers the lapdance and VIP. A couple girls began to shake themselves loose of the barstools and recite the same offers.
