Since I'm weak, I said ok. Lap wasn't bad (no time limit), but I shouldn't have agreed to the extra $. Club was very slow when I was there, and I'm sure I could have avoided that $40 if I tried. Just say NO to extra charges for laps!!!

I wanted company and conversation and got it with an attractive brunette named Kennedy. We talked about alot of things and she told me how many of the girls get down to business right away, basically I'll do this if you give me that. I didn't ask going rates but she said one girl at Sugar Honey's offered full service for $40. Anyway I did not visit at the optimum time, I was to early. There were maybe 7 or so girls at 8 and maybe 3 times as much when I left at 9:30. I spent $60 which included gas, entrance fee, 2 drinks, tip, and time. I don't think that would be enough to get into a VIP section in a strip club. There was plenty of parking when I arrived and also when I left despite a strip club and Karoke Bar sharing the same parking lot. I saw 3 Sheriff vehicles in the lot when I arrived, they never entered Minato when I was there but I understand they do visit from time to time.

The place needs a major renovation, it's like a warehouse and the quality of the girls is really sub-par. I don't care how big it is, I'd rather go to Boss, VIP, or even Sugar Honey. To the management: If you get beaten by the competition, join them. Until then, I will stick with the other HCs.

Date: 1/15/2002 4:49am From:   Raja Subject: Minato review From LAhostessclubs By now most who have followed my post both here and on other sites must know that I have been pimping Minato. No it doesn’t meet the standard set by the Boss Club. But then I know of no other hostess club north of the border that does either. It doesn’t have the selection of VIP or any of the downtown clubs but recently business has picked up, the choice of girls has been improving. So why does Raja enjoy Minato? First thing, Dreamland style grinding. Not Dreamland after Flamingos closing, but Dreamland during what I like to call the “happy times”. Old timers at HC’s like me know that what happens on the couches at Fantasy or VIP used to happen on the dance floors at Dreamland both upstairs and downstairs. This happens at Minato. And because “it “ stays inside of your pants she doesn’t expect a tip that is out of line. Second, the size of the dance floor. After squeezing into VIP and Sugar Honeys closet for a year, being able to spread out on the dance floor was a pleasure. You could get your freak on and hold a conversation with out listening to some other couple. Third, the privacy of the couch areas. You used to have a room all to yourself. With the recent increase in business this becomes less of an asset but you are still further apart then you would be at most other HC’s. Since Michelle quit there hasn’t been any full time waitress. Any girl who is not clocked in might be selected by Phil to make a run. Since you are a prospective customer for them they treat you okay. Also they don’t see themselves as superior to the sex worker like the waitresses at the other clubs. Forth, the music. When I first started going to Minato you could tell it used to be a Latin club. Long sets of that music were alternated with tapes that Ramon used to play at Flamingo and Dreamland. But the girls got Phil to allow them to bring in their own music, if that happened at Fantasy you would think you entered a rave party. At Minato the girls know what their business is so the music doesn’t get too fast for too long and it is a nice mix. Last Saturday things were going great the lap dance started when Ja Rule came up in the mix. My girl started working with it. And she seemed to be enjoying herself. Last and probably least, Phil. I like the guy; he’s one of us. He makes me smile and he will actually listen to you if you ask him for a reccomendation. Sure he will give you the one of the pretty girls you want line I can talk to him while awaiting for that special someone. I used to talk to Suzie and the waitresses at Dreamland but with her sitting up on her throne and the constant clocking in and out it’s not the same.
