Suprisingly solid for smalltown Nebraska
It had been quite a while since I went to a strip club in Hastings - about 5 years ago there was a bar that had strippers two nights a week, and as a repurposed regular bar it left a lot to be desired. Lot of chubby corn-fed girls air dancing in front of customers, and not much going on.
With nothing to do on a Thursday, I figured I should investigate the Platform, since I hadn't been checking TUSCL for a few years in this area and figured it wouldn't hurt to pop in and at least see a few naked ladies from a distance if it turned out to be as bad as the Slammer had been.
First off, the club does not have a liquor license, which in Hastings means that you are allowed to bring your own beverages. It is in a classification of "social club" which means that you need to pay a membership fee to join their club and be allowed entrance. This means you will need to fill out a fairly short form - those who do not want their personal details out there will want to pass on this club, although it appeared you could lie on the form and they didn't double check it against your license, so you would probably be fine writing down a random address. Membership was $15 for the night, they also had a yearlong option, but I am not sure how much that went for.
Upon entrance, there's a bar area to the left, which has a refrigerator - they ask that you drop off your beers/whatever and leave your name. When you want one, you go up to the guy there and get one or two of whatever you have stored. There are a couple of pool tables to the right of the bar, and then a door that leads out to their smoking area (didn't check it).
The rest of the club is a long maybe 25 foot wide stretch that goes on quite a distance. A stage with two poles on it stretches maybe 35 feet back in the center of the club, surrounded by chairs and a few tables scattered on each side. Furniture looks like what you would expect in an Elks club. Functional, but not very nice or comfortable.
Thursday night didn't have all that many customers, somewhere between 5 and 10 depending on how many were in the VIP rooms that I didn't notice, and there were 6 girls working this evening. Surprisingly, they were between a 4 and a 7, with nobody that I needed to avert my eyes from. All white with one Latina, they ranged from slim (not spinner thin though) to small pooch on their bellies and an occasional fat ass, but a substantial improvement from what the Slammer had to offer many years ago. No manmade tits to be seen, and the ladies I saw ranged from an A to a C/D size.
Girls will dance on stage for between 2-4 songs, eventually getting fully naked. If you like the girl, you can wander up to a chair and put a dollar onstage, they then come off the stage to grind you in your seat. At the time I was there, there were almost no customers, and a dollar would get you almost a minute of lap grinding. No touching by the customer at the stage that I witnessed, but you certainly would get some boobs in face during the grind.
There were at least 9 VIP rooms (possibly more, I only went down one of their corridors) leading to rooms with fairly saggy beds in them. Dances are paid before you enter their VIP rooms, to one of the guys in the front of the club near where the cover was paid. Multiple rates available, although I only remember the cheaper ones - $25 for a 5 minute topless dance, $50 for 10 minute fully nude, and $70 for 15 minute fully nude. Half hour and hourly rates were available.
Unsure what the mileage would be, I took one girl back for a 10 minute dance. Time is counted by a egg timer that the girl would set up on a counter near the bed. Before the dance started, each of the two dancers I went back with laid out their rules. In both cases, customer hands are allowed anywhere but the inner thigh and cooch area, with free boob and ass grabbing allowed. One girl asked me not to lick her breasts, but the other was more than down for feeding.
My first dancer was a bit mechanical but had some delightful boobs that I very much enjoyed getting a hold of. After the realization that the mileage was pretty good, I took my second dancer back for 15 minutes - she was much more sensual and happy to get her boobs licked.
Overall, it was surprising to actually see how long 10/15 minutes can be, given how fast they cut songs at most clubs, I felt like I got 3 songs for the first VIP, and 5 for the second, so prices were not quite as high as they looked. The mileage was amazing for smalltown Nebraska, and although there was no hands over pants action from the dancer, I really hadn't expected it here. It might be that each girl sets her own rules, and it's not impossible there is somebody freaky there on the weekends, but I wouldn't plan for this as an extras place.
Honestly, for $120 getting to molest a couple of pretty cute ladies is way more than I expected when I walked in, I will be returning when I'm in town.
