I stopped by Scarlett's on a suggestion from a friend. It was a Friday afternoon, so there was no cover until I think 6pm. They run a happy hour every day from 12-7, which basically means drinks are reasonable and the food was free. I paid $5 for a beer and $4 for a mixed drink. When you walk inside, there is a center stage with two poles, surrounded by seats. You immediately notice how loud the music is, and the DJ needs to learn some self-control. Then a bunch of tables around, so you don't have to sit right up on the dancers. The girls are adorable and many are great looking, ranging from a 6-8. Many of them are sociable, and will come up and talk if you want. I only ran into a couple of pushy ones.

I spent a couple hours there watching the dancers, which are usually dancing two at a time. Most dance decently although you'll find the usual few that are up there bored to death. It is mandatory nude dancing for the 2nd dance, so it all comes off. The lap dances are $25 each, but if you wait for the hourly special, you can get 2 for $35 in the back, which are private cubicles with plenty of room and some mirrors. I never went into the champagne room, but the girls tell me it isn't worth it. After getting some lap dances, you'll get your money worth if you stick to the 2 for $35 and pick a dancer that moves well for you. I ended up staying for a couple specials and threw some dollars at the dancers who are appreciative of the attention in the afternoon, because it's usually slow. The girl ratio for the crowd is very favorable.
