I've been visiting this club on and off for years, beginning way back when it was Mark's Showplace. The club is clean and the decor is upscale without being overbearing. Cover ranges between $5-10 depending upon the time and day of the week of your visit. Drinks are expensive (but what did you expect?). The club is two floors: the first floor includes the main stage and bar area as well as a comfortable seating area with tables. Off the main floor in a separate room is the lap dance area, which consists of about 35 or so individual “booths”-basically large padded bench seats with backs separated by dividers. The dividers work pretty well to give a sense of privacy on the sides, but you can see everything going on in the seats across the aisle from you (and vice versa). Lap dances are $25 per song in addition to a $5 entrance fee (“bracelet” fee) to the lap dance area which is good all night. Second floor has the VIP or champagne rooms. There are six of them split into three sections, and their cost runs from $150 to $250 per hour depending on the amount of privacy and amenities you want. (Note: these fees do not include what you agree to pay the dancer).

Clientele during the day and after work is primarily businessmen and blue collar workers. While there are generally fewer dancers on during this time, the atmosphere is more laid back and dancers are willing to sit and talk to customers. At night, while there are more dancers on, there are more bouncers as well and the crowd tends to be rowdier. The dancers are less likely to spend time just talking with customers at night – they’ll ask pretty quick if you want to go out back and if you say no, they are on to the next guy.

The dancers are mostly white, with some Asians, Latinas and one or two African-Americans thrown in. They have all kinds – girl next door, Barbie dolls, tattooed Goth types, hot asian honeys, etc. For the most part, the dancers are pretty nice and mingle well with the customers. Dress for the dancers is either bikinis, lingerie or club attire over g-strings (easy off-easy on). For looks - I would say most of the dancers are solid 8s and 9s with a few 7s and one or two 10s thrown in. Some dancers are more aggressive than others – beware the dancer who promises you a “naughty” lap dance. I’ve found these dancers rarely deliver on their promises.
