Stopped in just before midnight. Place was pretty busy, lots of dancers working(mostly in the 6-7 range.) The physical club, as usual, was nice. Drinks were the normal strip club prices, $5 cover, $6 mandatory valet. VIP booths are starting to really get run down, especially the benches. Lots of curtains missing, and pretty messy with wrappers and the like. Customers are also taking a turn for the worst. Lot's of punks, lots of loudmouth middle easterns (as you can see be the story on the news.) The dancers even complain that the customer base is really going downhill. The young punks have no money and the middle easterns are cheap.

Good amount of dancers that night, maybe one or two I would call a 9, a few 4's, and the rest 6-7 range. At this poing, extras are offered by most. Lot's of new girls, most never last too long. A few that I've seen working many times before. Got VIP's from 2 girls. The first, a brunette named Dani. I'd give her a 7 on looks. Talked for awhile, then went back. Made it pretty clear up front she does not do extras, which is fine. Good to know before hand so I don't waste too much time waiting to see. Got 3 dances, decent grindage, but relatively uninspired. Tried to charge me for 4, when I said 3 and named the songs, that pretty much ended the discussion. No tip here. The second was a blonde, cannot remember the name. Spelled out the menu at the table before we went back. Found the most secluded booth, and 6 songs later, I left happy.

On a value scale, this place is still too expensive compared to a lot of other places. $25 a lap, extras are rarely offered at par, usually an upcharge (and pretty steep depending on the girl) which isn't the case anymore at a lot of places. You'll be lucky to find a dancer that doesn't play the "no it was 7 songs not 5" game. Some shot girls are overaggresive, but if you make it clear you're not getting one, they will stay away. It's part of the game so I usually get one for the dancer. I have no problem spending money in these places, I come prepared. The nickel and diming of the songs really rubs me the wrong way though. I'll probably be back, as it's still better than Tycoons and Players, as those 3 clubs are in my location wheelhouse. I did stop into Tycoons first, left before paying the cover after seeing only 2 run down dancers, about 8 customers, and 6 shot girls from the door.
