The outside of this club looks plain enough to be a front for a video distributor warehouse but don't let that fool you. Once you step inside, you realize this is not the run of the mill nude club. There is a fairly large lobby area with the box office to the right. To your right, there is a nude modern statue of a hard body woman. The cover is $10, $15 on weekend nights and during the day, it's $5. There is a mild dress code so don't come with beach attire.

As you enter through the door to the main club, the cozy ambiance of the club comes into view. Although the club is fairly large, it does not have the cold warehouse feeling. The stage is to the right, the bar is in the back left area, the DJ booth and bathrooms are at the end of the club. The restrooms are to the right of the DJ booth. There is a payphone in the men's restroom, 2 urinals, 2 stalls and a very interesting drawing on the wall next to the sinks. There are about 11 small tables with real table cloths, soft comfortable chairs and a little candle type light. There are also about 5 couches to sit and relax on. These couches are for sitting, not for laps. One TV screen is above the dressing room with sports programs on them. I've been told that the dressing room is very large for LA nude club standards with lockers. The waitresses wear black and brings your $6.50 non-alcoholic drink with a smile and chips or pretzels.

The stage is a smaller side of medium with one pole, and seats about 15 on plush chairs around the granite tip rail. There is no stage lighting from above. All the lighting comes from lights inside the stage. Since my first visit, the stage lighting has been toned down and now creates a much darker ambiance. 4 large speakers loom over the stage area only but the volume is kept very low for easy conversations with the dancers. Although the ceiling is high, the club is surrounded by low walls to give the impression of a more cozy atmosphere, similar to the Spearmint Rhino in Oxnard.

There are 2 separate private dance rooms and a VIP area. One is to the left of the DJ booth with about 9 booths and another room is to the right of the stage with 4 booths. The room to the left of the DJ booth has a booth that is larger than the others. If you want to trap your dancer, use the smaller booths on the far side of the room. However, there are no mirrors in the room so it's hard to see if a floater is peeking into the room. Your dancer would have to keep her eyes open.

The VIP area requires a purchase of a minimum of 5 songs at $29 each for the separated couch (almost fantasy rooms) and $39 per song to use the private stage or bed dances on the fake beds. Frankly, the corner "room" with the big couch seems to be the best setup for a comfortable and sexy dance. However, the big difference is, the bed dances are all the way at the end and nobody will walk past you like the other area.

As for the dancers, there are plenty of them and the quality is top notch. On any given night, you will see some knockouts and Playmate quality dancers. There are also some quality dancers who do pole work, and enough exotic looking dancers to keep any customer happy for hours. The dancer quality here has always been consistent high and I have never been disappointed. If you're here during the day shift, catch Jazmin's stage show for some amazing pole work. She's an exotic petite dynamite dancer from Liverpool.

Expert Customer Hint:
Sit in alignment with the bright light on stage and when the dancer does a floor show, you will get a full-on gyno show. Don't come here for nasty laps, come for the company of good lookers that can chit chat with you and help you relax a bit.
