[QUOTE=CornPop;6163431]It is a $20 LP room per girl per visit to the room. It adds up quickly.
My normal routine now is getting a drink at the bar and grabbing blondie and heading straight to the VIP room for full service. It saves time and money.[/QUOTE]How much should I expect to pay in the VIP for everything? $220?
Rum.

Rum.[/QUOTE]Not sure since they all vary, but I would at least be ready for another Franklin! Not worth it in my opinion.
[QUOTE=WillyO;6169149]Not sure since they all vary, but I would at least be ready for another Franklin! Not worth it in my opinion.[/QUOTE]Can confirm. Just went there after a few hours at the bar (never wise.) Went in back with a thick Latina, paid 120 to house and 220 to her. Got what I wanted, at a crazy cost. EB is basically a convenience store for sex. Def taking a break from the place.

Found one hot chick with big naturals (surprising, wasn't Latina.). She asked for $120/$280. I countered with my original thought. I told her no to her offer and I countered with my original plan which she accepted. She is normally a night girl. Overall, at that price, I was ok with the performance. She was a champ.
Another one of the older Latinas kept coming over and would t leave me alone, I finally said leave me alone and she got the hint. I think she was pissing everyone off.
There is another younger Latina that is hot as hell, but she is asking $120/300 for L2. I laughed at her when she put that out there. She sat there the entire time I was there as no one is dumb enough to pay that. Others were non-stop revolving back to the rooms. All regulars.
Overall, not going back. I told Shannon that the $120 price is 3 x the cost of PVD clubs (or the entire cost of PM in Bridgeport). She said it is because they need to make money.

I am overdue for a road trip to PM, been watching that board to monitor the line / wait situation. EB is super close to me but 3 X the cost with a fraction of the talent.

I didn't mean to be disrespectful to her, but I think she understood where I was coming from. Maybe. One girl kept asking to go for a dance everytime she would do a lap and Shannon asked why I never take her for a dance. I told her that I had taken her for a dance in the past and honestly, wasn't impressed. Then I said that the lap dance is not conductive to trying a new girl out as every time you pass the curtains, it is $40 minimum. And the VIP starting at $120 is way over the going rate at the best clubs in the US, not even New England! On top of that, the prevalence of GPS there has me really down on the place. That said, I did overpay for the VIP as I am a sucker for big natural cans, but doubtful I will return anymore.
Crazy to think that for the price of one dance there, I can get 4+ primo sessions in Tijuana. Thankfully, I travel a ton for work, but if you have never been to TJ, you need to go. Victoria Secret show model-like dancers who you can bring to a hotel. Amazing place.

[QUOTE=JannonJoe35;6231417]PVD Clubs? What are you referring to if I may ask.[/QUOTE]PVD is Providence. Clubs have typically been great there but lately there has been a lot of GPS. Still a better deal than EB though!
[QUOTE=WillyO;6231570]PVD is Providence. Clubs have typically been great there but lately there has been a lot of GPS. Still a better deal than EB though![/QUOTE]Agree, but still some consistent value vs EB and sessions are better than PM. No rush jobs standing up in a closet.
I have no idea how to add a contact to my burner android smartphone but the Dominican stripper who can't explain her VIP room policies without Google can

I heard an advertisement that EB's Christmas Party is next Friday, all day. I haven't gone in quite a few years. Probably won't be going this year either because of their new price structure, unless there's no cover during the day like the good ol' days.

The $20 per trip to the back is very annoying, however. Definitely got to sample less, or just skip the sample and go right to VIP.

It appears that all the links to news reports have been updated to specify that it was related to prostitution / sexual activity.
[QUOTE=Woody50;6374591]Since the DHS is involved, I'm betting it's immigration or trafficking related.[/QUOTE]Something along that line makes more sense to me. Perhaps they have some sought of a log of the girls and their so called handlers etc. All is speculation so who knows?

[QUOTE=WillyO;6374677]Something along that line makes more sense to me. Perhaps they have some sought of a log of the girls and their so called handlers etc. All is speculation so who knows?[/QUOTE]I've seen other reports that the IRS is also involved, as well as the previously mentioned DHS. Prostitution is a state / local crime and the CSP is probably the only agency willing to comment to local news agencies. The Feds, like DHS, FBI, and IRS can care less about that stuff, but they're part of the visit.
Driving a pimped girl across state lines is trafficking, and illegal immigration are both Federal crimes the DHS handles. The IRS looks for money laundering and according to local witnesses are also on the scene. There may be organized crime links being investigated as well, I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI is also involved.
One of the local witnesses stated there were locksmiths and safe crackers brought in by the Feds.

[QUOTE=WillyO;6374575]The morning timing for a raid doesn't make sense as a raid for prostitution when most dancers haven't even arrived at the club yet and it may not have even been open.[/QUOTE]They are probably going for the bigger fish, as in the club and the owners for promoting / allowing the activity, as well as the potential tax / financial crimes.
[QUOTE=WillyO;6374575]The morning timing for a raid doesn't make sense as a raid for prostitution when most dancers haven't even arrived at the club yet and it may not have even been open.[/QUOTE]I have heard a completely different story from a friend of mine that spoke to one of the bouncers from EB that just happened to be at Shea's restaurant in Manchester on Friday evening. My friend had heard about the news of EB and was talking to someone about it, and that person just happened to point out that one of the EB bouncers was there. So my friend went over to the EB bouncer guy and asked him about what happened. He stated that it had nothing to do with prostitution but with a murder that was committed by someone. The family of the person who was killed was trying to sue both Shea's and EB. It seems the guy had stopped at both places around the time the murder happened. It makes no sense why Shea's would be involved in any way, but that is what he claimed.
My best guess as to why the FBI and IRS are involved, is that it might be some kind of organized crime situation. That would explain why they might be looking at financial crimes if the guy was somehow tied to EB in some kind of way and the murder just led them to the club somehow. It sounds like some kind of fantastical Sporanos level stuff. But, why make up such a sensational story, when the easy explanation is the sex trafficking one. Also why even try to mention Shea's restaurant at all, unless this murder investigation is what is really going on. Sex trafficking might be just part of the reasons they are going after EB, but it might not be the whole picture based on what my friend heard from this bouncer. It would also explain the odd morning raid before they opened. The girls and their activity might not be the real target, but could be related to whatever charges they want to bring against whomever is involved.
It could also just be a bunch of bullshit, but it kind of makes sense if my theory about some kind of organized crime thing is going on. Other people here seem to think some of that kind of activity is related to this situation The news story could also be a bunch of disinformation that they might be putting out as they go after the bigger fish. That would also explain why someone here posted in the Harford strip clubs forum that another article says "the business is not the main focus of the investigation, but, rather, that a "secondary investigation" is taking place there".
I guess we will find out what really happened eventually, it is still early.
I don't suppose this will bring about any improvements in the services.
I have stayed away for years due to the poor reviews and BS related to the lap dances. If this was just a pay-for-play investigation, why now? They could have had to goods on that investigation at any point during the last 20 years.
EB's license to operate has been suspended by the town for 30 days.

The bar literally is a big rectangle in the middle of the space and the stage is inside it. So it's now impossible to sit at the stage. Some of the dancers climbed up on the bar to shake their asses and get tips. The danger of spilled drinks is real, as you might imagine, and I saw one bottle knocked off the bar in the short time I was there.
There were 2 absolute top shelf dancers. There were another 3-4 quality second-tier girls. Probably 5-6 below that I would never hand a dollar to. And there was a blonde massage girl dressed in a stripper outfit who was solid 1.5 tier. She said she had only been there like 3 weeks and was offering private massages in a back room topless, $125 for 15 min. Okay I'm interested. But the customer's clothes had to stay on. Right. Pass.
Looked like a couple semi-screened (bead curtain) lapdance areas in the back. High quality finishes on the renovation, but the layout left something to be desired from the customer's POV for a strip club. Did not talk to any dancers but for those wondering where the lookers have gone to, at least a few were there.
Keep it Fresh.
