This was my first visit to...

This was my first visit to Mario's. Admission was $10, and you need to buy a $7 wristband on your first dance. It's a very dark club, much nicer inside than you'd expect from the outside. There's a big U-shaped stage, lined with glass bricks. Someone else mentioned that the stage was too high, but I didn't find this. Nonetheless, there was usually almost no one sitting at the stage, and it was a pretty busy evening.

There is a bar across from one of the legs of the U, and the U opens to a big seating area, with tables and chairs, and couches along the wall. Behind this room is a lap dance area.

The girls were mostly in the 5-7 range, with too much silicone for my taste. Probably 60% white, 30% black, a few hispanic and one oriental dancer on this visit. The girls were mostly pretty friendly, and a bit too laid back for my taste. They were often hanging out together, or hanging out with the DJ, or spending lots of time in the main room talking to customers. The vibe was more like Club Desire in Providence, than Cadillac (also in Providence) -- emphasizing hanging out with good-looking girls more than the dances (which are $20 each).
