I visited the Paradise Saloon on Monday, November 23, 2009. The club has become essentially a topless dance club with fairly lackluster stage dances. The first song the women generally remove no clothing. The second dance they take off their top. There is minimal pressure from the women asking if one wants a private dance. The private dances are a good value at $10 per song with fairly extensive contact. Domino is still working at the Paradise and was the best dancer there. There appears to be some stigma associated with dancing nude on stage at the Paradise now. Only three of seven women that I offered $5 to dance nude accepted and performed nicely. They were all heckled to some extent by the other women for dancing nude. Judging from the tips that the nude dancers got, besides my $5 they would make much more money if more of them chose to take off their clothes. The women were generally attractive, though perhaps a little bit zaftig for some tastes. Several dancers chewed gum with their mouths open and their income (from me) suffered as a result.
