This club has once again changed hands and names and renovated the entire club. The club is more upscale and a lot like the Spearmint Rhino look and feel. Although the club even has a new address, it's actually still in the same location.

It's still a little hard to find unless you know where it is. Go east on Mississippi, off of Bundy (north of Olympic) and the club is in an industrial one story building on the south side of the street across the street from Staples. As with other clubs in this area, there is no parking lot. On weekend nights (and perhaps all the time), you can park in the mini-mall parking lot on Olympic and walk through the micro garage area to Mississippi. You can park on the street but check the posted signs carefully. You can also valet your car on Mississippi, but I don't really know where they take the car. Personally, I never valet. Cover is $10 or $5 with newspaper ad, with two drink minimum at $6 each.

This is a small club but it is relatively clean and now looks brand new again. As you enter, there is a micro lobby with counter for the cover, just like the Rhino. You enter to the left of this area and you will see the medium sized stage is now one oval stage in the middle of the room. The DJ booth is now to the back near the bathrooms and dressing rooms. The bar is to the left, now with no stool seating and the ATM is to the left of the bar. The main lap area is to the right and is a long bench-style area like the Rhino. The bathroom is still small and only contain a toilet and no urinal, but at least it's clean.

The ambiance is so much like the Rhino, I have to think that they either copied them, or it's run by a manager that used to work at the Rhino. It's almost as dark as the Rhino and the chairs look just like theirs. There are anywhere from 1 to 3 bartender/waitresses wearing black (all of whom look pretty hot), and 1 to 3 bouncer/floater type guys in black suits. One of these guys help the dancers go on and off the stage.

As for the lap dances, the mileage is standard for nude and nothing crazy is going on. Other than the regular lap area on the West side of the room, on the North East corner of the room, there is a small, very dark lap room where you can be separated from the other lappers. Lap dances are $20 topless and $40 nude. Personally, I think the mileage has gone down since they had the private cubicles, but it could just be me.

As for the dancers, the quality of the dancers vary somewhat but generally seem to be fairly good. If you like tall blonds, you might like Micky. If you like more petite ones, try Roxy or Skyler for a little more. If you like booties like me, give Athena a try. If you like skinny blonds, see Becky "The Queen Bee" Sue on stage.

Summary:
All in all, a little small and slow but a nice cozy place to watch good looking nude dancers. Don't come here for super high mileage, just eye candy.

Club		Good location, clean but small.
Dancers		Good hiring practice with a few strays.
Attitude		Average for lap factory.
Nasty Factor		Average by today's new nude standards.
