Strip Club Reports

[QUOTE=Sdorsonk;2171397]I will be traveling into LA from out of state to try out the famous City of Industry scene. I've got lots of great info from the board on places and times and dancers. I'd appreciate some recommendations on what to wear. Extras on the on the scale of COI have rarely been available at the clubs I've been to, so easy access shorts or sweat pants have never been a consideration. I also generally try to look like the upstanding citizen I think I am by dressing a little nicer; it seems to attract a slightly higher class of girl and make me seem less pervy. But it seems to me that COI standards might be different. I suppose everyone knows what you a there for. Any benefit to wearing nicer pants and a collared shirt, or should I telegraph intentions with some be-ball floppy shorts and tee shirt?

I also have a few concerns with security and am completely naive about gangs, etc. Anything I need to do to avoid offending local norms? Any colors I shouldn't wear? Any clubs a very white-bread looking guy needs to avoid?

Thanks ahead of time.[/QUOTE]I've been a long time visitor to Paradise though I haven't been in about 6 months. For the record, I'm a professional in the day light hours but dress for strip club success in the evenings. Normal attire is neat pull over with long nylon gym slacks and commando underneath. Provides for amazing feel. Sends the message the second the mount up that you are ready for play and allows you to slide them down / out of the way for easy access. Works almost 95% of the time.

[QUOTE=NoBodyKnows;2174245]

The next day I did a midday stop at Paradise. Immediately had 4 gals come after me who were about as attractive as the cleaning ladies at my hotel. I tried to be polite, but they were very pushy. One plopped down beside me and immediately started stroking me through my shorts. She kept it up for a good five minutes with me saying nothing. She finally asked if I wanted a dance and I said no. I gave her a dollar and she left.

There was one gorgeous gal with a few tats on stage when I first entered. She looked like Katie Holmes in her pre-Tom Cruise days. I would have tipped her had it not been for the stream of ogres I had to get off me while she was on stage. She behaved a lot like the tiny gal from Synn, never walked around and chatted it up with other dancers more than anything.

I also had my eye on another young, pretty gal who I saw walking around and talking to other guys. While I was waiting for my chance to talk to either of them, I was offered "anything you want" in the VIP /$100, including by one gal who said she was so high she couldn't say No is she wanted to.

Finally, the girl I had ranked #2 came by and started pushing hard for a $100/ VIP. They were also doing 3 songs for $40, and I said that was more what I was after. I wanted to see how she would act and behave in the dance area. She did very well. So we did the VIP. Cover goes on immediately and anything goes. Very nice time.

Spent $160 total in paradise.[/QUOTE]Second trip to paradise was not so successful. Went again on a Friday. Made the mistake of going at night though. In five minutes, a girl was offering me $300 for BBBJ and CFS in the VIP. That was three times what I had to pay last time. I told her that was too much. She countered with $250. I said that was still too much and she went to $200. Even though the sign clearly said "100 for VIP", I still gave her the 200 up front. HUGE MISTAKE. I should have given the 100 for the room and told her she would get the other 100 after she performed as promised. After my 200 is long gone, we go into the VIP room and she immediately starts asking for more money. I told her I didn't have any more. So she got naked and started a HJ. She was pretty good at it, but after a few minutes, I was ready to move on to the main event. I asked her about the BJ and she said "oh, I can't do that now since I had to lower the price. " I told her she should have told me that when she offered the lowered rate, but she just smiled and kept jacking. I was pretty pissed, but there wasnt anything I could do at that point. I made sure not to let her know when I was ready to blow and I made sure to aim for her face. I splooged all over her cheek and got a lot in her hair. She was kinda pissed, but she had it coming.

So hard to find honest working girls these days.

I've fallen victim to the switch-a-roo as well, except I haven't reacted as canny as you have. When a girl lowers her prices so do her services. It's pretty much a scam to get money out of us hard working gentleman since they don't know the what it means to make an honest living.

I'm plan my first trip to paradise but was wonder how old do you have to be to get in I have read most of the post and did not see what age you have to be to get in.

It's a nude club with no alcohol so I think it's 18.

[QUOTE=Youngster420;2203246]It's a nude club with no alcohol so I think it's 18.[/QUOTE]Okay thanks for the info.

I haven't been to this place in about 10 years. I never liked the push to buy girls a $10 soda, but I decided to check it out Tuesday afternoon. As soon as I sit down, a thick latina sits next to me and starts rubbing my leg. She introduces herself as Honey. She's just over 5' without heels, with DDs and a firm round ass. She asked if I wanted a dance, and I told her that I like to settle down and see some dancers on stage first. I was kinda surprised that she stuck around, probably because there were more girls working than guys, so we talked a little and she told me about the 341 and VIP. She is very friendly. After a while there are still no girls on stage, so I take her up on a 341. Those tits and ass in my face were wonderful. CHJ and CBJ. I didn't ask about more, and didn't need it. Finished up and she didn't ask for a tip, but I gave her one anyway. I guess I'll be coming back Paradise.

Alright so I am freaking out. I hit up a club and get pushed into a 3-1 with the promise of a good time. She puts on a hat and gets into RCG. She does the meat curtain slide and I angle my the for penetration. I have trouble getting in and I think she is gripping it with her hand. I thought I felt penetration, then in feel a pop and she tells me the hat broke! I'm like WTF and reach for my dick; I don't feel the hat. She reaches for the the and tells me she pulled it off. She "opens" another behind my back and gives it to me to put on. She gives me a HJ and I finish. I ask her for the broken rubber and she says she threw it behind the couch where no one will find it. I run to the bathroom and rub sanitizer all over me. I'm freaking out and I go home scared shitless. But the more I think about it, I come to realize it was maybe BS. Maybe she said it broke as an excuse not to give FS. Maybe she wouldn't give me the broken one because there was no broken one, I don't know but I'm still scared that I may have BB, which is a big don't for me. What do you experts think?

Synn trip:

Went on a Friday at around 6 pm with the purpose of getting extras. Since it was a Friday, this meant that the VIP room would be $100 for 15 minutes.

Hardly anyone approached me the first hour there. Finally about an hour in a very attractive light-skinned Latina approached me. She had a great ass and supple be-cup breasts. I asked her how her VIP was, and she gave the usual vague answers most girls give. I asked her to be more specific, after which she lightly grabbed my crotch. So it was on. We agreed on 50 for "everything. " I would later find out that "everything" meant CFS, so that was dope.

On our way to our room, she popped out her phone and called a friend. Apparently a friend of hers needed a weed connection or something like that. This convo continued while she undressed herself in the VIP, so I thought this experience would be bullshit. But no, after the call ended, she was all mine. Definitely a 10/10 experience.

Total damage was 20 for the cover + 100 for the VIP + 50 for the extras = 170.

Also, anyone know the pricing at Paradise and DVCOI? I'm talking about their dance specials, VIP pricing (specifically their weekly specials), etc. Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't get CFS. On the other hand, let's say her hands were pressed up against the walls (so she had leverage) where you could see them, you got CFS.

Asking our "opinion" isn't going to change what really happened. If you are that concerned, get tested. If you want to believe your version or someone else's version, then you are just fooling yourself.

[QUOTE=LAStateOfMind3;2205113]How private is the 341 area at Paradise? For you to get a CBJ, it must pretty private right?[/QUOTE]It is private only from the main part of the showroom. It is not private as to others in the lap dance area. 3 sided booths open in the front so your best shot at privacy is to get the end booths so others won't be walking by you. You can't really do the Paradise thing if you're timid but trust me, nobody back there is making an effort to watch you and nobody cares. The full price VIPs are private but the cheaper "fantasy rooms" have transparent draping and are so small that the dancers' legs may often be hanging out into the public area if she's on her knees servicing you.

Do you recall the name of the latina who serviced you at Synn? You paid $20 for a condom? That is an abuse. The club has its own sex shop as you know since you exit through this shop. Next time if the dancer claims she needs to be compensated for a condom, just go back there and buy one for a couple of bucks or a 3 pack for a couple more.

BTW, you did well to find a good and attractive dancer to play with at 6 PM. Expect almost all strip clubs to be deserted between 5 PM until as late as 9 PM. That's counter-intuitive I know since you'd assume that after work time for 9 to 5 ers would be busy, but in fact it is between day and night shifts and there are hardly any dancers working. Exception is a few clubs which have an in between shift. In COI the best bet at that hour is DVCOI.

As to your other questions about VIP pricing in COI, I have written comprehensive detailed guides to extras and pricing in all the clubs on multiple occasions including at least twice in the last few months. Not going to be writing all the data I provided yet another time. Click my profile, bring up my posts and you'll find the COI info I have posted over the last 1-4 months in this section and I think the LA strip club section too.

[/QUOTE]I thought the same thing as you at first glance but I think that he was referring to a 20 dollar cover charge.

[QUOTE=Mikeymae;2207044]I thought the same thing as you at first glance but I think that he was referring to a 20 dollar cover charge.[/QUOTE]Ohhhhhh. Never mind in that case.

But still, nothing surprises me as to how far the "adult entertainment" will reach in a greed grab which is why I found the idea of being asked to purchase a condom that must be made of gold to be credible.

And they are charging $20 cover at dead hour 6 PM? I keep a few copies of the free LA Weekly in my car so even if I make a spontaneous stop at Synn or Paradise I don't pay cover. These clubs actually don't put free passes in the paper, but they do accept the newspaper's passes for DejaVu, Rhino, et al. Also if you go to the Synn and Paradise websites you can get on their text distribution list and receive promo texts each month good for free admission. You actually pay $5 at the door and that is supposedly for your glass of water, soda or juice. So the newspapers and the texts are $15 bills. I'm not rich enough to ignore that opportunity.

Btw, Synn also gives you a free pass each time you get a 342 nude dance and for each VIP. If the counter doesn't hand it to you on your way out of the lap area, ask him. Last week the counter actually chased me down to give me a pass as I walked towards the exit following a VIP. Paradise typically does not do this unless they specifically announce it. I speak about these clubs hand in hand as they have the same ownership and share many but not all of the same policies and promotions.

Just to be sure: Are you saying that Paradise and Synn accept their competitor's LA Weekly coupons? Is that right?

And yeah, it was $20 to get in at 6 pm. Was barely approached initially. Made me think I looked broke or something.

[/QUOTE]Yes except Thursday when Synn does not accept any passes thy say due to discounted dances / VIPs.

While we're on the subject of good deals at the local clubs, I usually don't pay a cover charge at Paradise. I always go between 6 and 8 pm which is their 'Dead Zone'. The club is populated with stragglers from day shift and double shifters. Still what I consider a decent selection but others might disagree. They just let me in through the back door.

Hey fellow mongers.

Had read here that DV had free admission on Sundays so after stopping by the gym near Costco in COI went to check this place out.

Sure enough as reported here DV has free cover on Sundays from noon to 9:00 pm, was told this by the big dude that covers the entrance sometimes.

Sat down on one of the chairs as you enter the main room and waited to check out the beauties as they walked by. I counted seven different girls (six of 'them were spinners) and all were 9+ on my book.

The DJ kept doing 3 x2 and there hardly any girls around to talk to.

Also, I think I heard him say something about a special for a Benji, not sure if this was for the VIP or what but if any of you guys know about this please post here since it would be great to take one of the spinners there for a spin, pun intended, in the VIP.

Mondo.[/QUOTE]DVCOI is a tricky club because it does offer excellent bargain opportunities but usually leaves a great deal to be desired including mileage and adequate privacy in the VIP, though I don't personally care about the privacy issue.

Sunday night is the WORST time to go for the reason you experienced. It gets packed with cheapasses and lookie-loos who go at that time just to save a few bucks on the entry. So the place is crowded and uncomfortable and even though its not an action money crowd, there's enough dudes in there to occupy all or most of the dancers, certainly the ones you want to be with.

DVCOI is also the lowest mileage club in COI. That doesn't mean that there aren't some girls working most shifts who will deliver more than just a lap dance, but it is much less reliable for extras than the other COI / Puente clubs. Unless you "bone up" on the dancer reviews on other sites, you will most likely be hooking up with dancers who provide a moderate to low mileage encounter. Also, the DV dancers are the least likely of dancers in high mileage clubs to actually sit down with someone they don't know to build some chemistry and give you a chance to get a read on what they will deliver in private. They almost always just walk by and ask you for a dance and move on immediately if you turn them down. In the other clubs the girls sit down and socialize and quite a bit of mutual molestation can be had in the course of the conversation. You will be harassed to buy them expensive drinks but all you have to do is say no. Sometimes the action at the table is so hot you just may want to buy a ladies' drink just to keep it going. So if you're going to go to DVCOI, I recommend any other time but a weekend night (Fri / Sat just crazy crowded too). Free entry coupons are all over the place including LA Weekly and probably including DVs central website. Except Sunday and some other "happy hours" they've now installed, you will still have to pay a $10 "entertainment fee" which also covers any soft drinks you may want. If you can't afford $10 to walk in a club you can't afford the best of what goes on inside.

VIP in DVCOI is $150 for 30 minutes except for Thursday its $100. Best deal going if you have the right girl and don't mind inadequate VIP facilities. However, Cheapass Sunday sometimes inspires the club to offer $100 specials for a couple of hours in the earlier evening hours. All dances are about 30% longer on Sunday so even paying $150, you'll get 40 minutes in the VIP instead of the usual half hour.

Personally, I recommend Club Synn about a mile away on Valley. Dancer quality can be excellent and is often better than DVCOI which runs hot and cold as really all the clubs do. See my post a few reports down for info on free entry to Synn which really means you will pay $5 at the door for a drink charge. VIPs in Synn are completely private if not a room at the Hyatt. They cost $100/15 minutes or $150/25 minutes which are great bargains considering the talent and mileage available and compared to prices that SCs were charging before the recent price cutting that most clubs are doing to actually compete. More Synn dancers have extras menus than DVCOI dancers and you won't need more than 15 minutes in the VIP in most cases. VIP is discounted to $75 on Thursdays. Synn girls get comfy with you at your booth or table and foreplay happens.

There are 4-5 other choices in COI but Synn is my pick for best balance of hot girls, high mileage and bargain pricing. Good stage dancing too as DV also offers. You really should check out the strip club sites to get a comprehensive overview, dancer rollcalls and reviews.

Thanks man for your explanation of the COI strip joints. I posted the info for mongers to inform them what's going on at DJ on Sundays.

I have not had the pleasure of having full fun at any of the clubs, the reason I visit mainly is to get my engine going and end up going over to one of the MP afterwards (see my post for Jenny in the SG thread) I usually find a girl that turns me on and take her back when they have the 3 x2 specials and then move on to an MP afterwards.

BTW, after reading my post again now I realized I said "spinners" instead I should of said "lookers" since they were pretty hot.

Mondo.

P.S. Do you or did you know a gal at DVCOI that went by the name of Feline? She's a 9. 5 (in my book) Tall & slim and very pretty. Reason is I met her at DJCOI about a couple of years ago and took her for a topless 3 x2 and she really turn me on big time. It was on a Thursday afternoon and instead of taking her back to the VIP I passed figuring I'd see her next Thursday and haven't seen her again!

I don't recall any dancer using Feline as a name anywhere at anytime.

Camel,

I'm making my first trip out to LA in probably about 5-6 years. I fondly remember the VIPs and extras with a diverse group of dancers at Hawaii Theater. As a result, I never went anywhere else. Having read through the past 3-4 months of posts, I gather that Synn comes the closest to what HT used to be like? I know I could drive all the way out to Tropical Lei for the HT experience, but, I'd like to stay a little closer to downtown LA.

Would you mind updating me, either via PM or publicly if it's not a big deal out there, about the pricing structure and how I can get my best bang for the buck (literally)?

Thanks very much & I will post my story later next week.

Even though I have some experience at this, I still have some lingering questions.

1) Is it rude to try to start a conversation with a girl when she's walking around during the dance specials? Since the time for the lap dance specials is limited, I feel bad wasting her time when she could be selling lap dances to someone else during that limited time.

2) From the reviews, it seems like a lot of people ask about VIP extras while getting a lap dance. Is this necessary? Couldn't you just ask about them while talking in the couches?

3) Do girls usually ask for extra money on top of the VIP room fee for FS? What if it's the 25-30 minute VIP?

Thanks bros.

[QUOTE=Max#01;2219229]Camel,

I'm making my first trip out to LA in probably about 5-6 years. I fondly remember the VIPs and extras with a diverse group of dancers at Hawaii Theater. As a result, I never went anywhere else. Having read through the past 3-4 months of posts, I gather that Synn comes the closest to what HT used to be like? I know I could drive all the way out to Tropical Lei for the HT experience, but, I'd like to stay a little closer to downtown LA.

Pricing varies widely depending on the dancer and whether there are discounts on that day (e. G. , Spearmint Rhino has $100 VIP room rate for 15 min. On Wednesdays (normally $200)).

Also, most dancers do not mind talking with customers as long as it results in lap dances. If you just want to talk and don't get any lap dances, that would be considered being cheap & rude.

So, what difference does it make to you?

[QUOTE=LAStateOfMind3;2220133] 3) Do girls usually ask for extra money on top of the VIP room fee for FS? What if it's the 25-30 minute VIP?[/QUOTE]Uh, yes. Usually, they ask for more tips for anything more than a lap dance. That's how they make money.

On Wednesdays (normally $200)).[/QUOTE]To answer Max's specific question about whether Synn is "closest" to the HT experience, I would add that Synn is my current favorite club (the weekday day shifts anyway) as the best balance of lookers, mileage and bargain pricing. Technically Paradise is the closest to the HT experience as virtually every dancer will be game for VHM at the least. However the Paradise dancers are overall less attractive than their Synn sisters and the VIP pricing is higher most days ($100 on Wednesday / Friday but $300 other days the last I saw, though that can be negotiable and hard to believe this anachronistic price is still out there). Paradise also has $150 "fantasy rooms" at all times but they are less private, small and uncomfortable IMO.

You have to hunt with more care at Synn if you want a guaranteed VHM or UHM experience typical to HT as many of the girls there come and go and even some of the established dancers draw no-extras boundaries or offer no more than HM. But $75-100 for a fully private no-extras experience for 15 minutes is still a better deal by far than regular lap dances at most clubs around SoCal.

One big advantage these clubs have over HT and still operating TL is the VIP duration is measured by time and not by the number of songs. If you know HT you recall that song lengths were variable and usually very short left to the whims of the DJ. TL fans are still reporting VIP session lengths at around 7-9 minutes for the 3 song set which IMO is ridiculous for the base price plus tips generally expected at TL.

If you want to line up "sure things" in advance at clubs like Synn and DVCOI which are less universal for availability of extras, check the bonedin dot com site which has detailed reader reviews of a majority of the dancers working the COI clubs along with daily roll calls to let you know who is working.

For comprehensive overall pricing, I'll ask Max to look up a couple of posts I did over the last couple of months which cover that topic.

I never hear anyone talk about this club ever since they changed from Hawaii Theater, is it any good or like the HT used to be back in the day?

[QUOTE=Bucweak;2321540]I never hear anyone talk about this club ever since they changed from Hawaii Theater, is it any good or like the HT used to be back in the day?[/QUOTE]Nobody talks about any club in COI on this site anymore. Bonedin has taken over this subject matter and if you go to that site you'll find all the info you need about Monarchs. It is actually a very nice club with the remodel of the old HT a major improvement in most respects. Only potential problem is very little seating due to how they remodeled it but not a problem now because its half empty most of the time. So empty that they shut down the dayshift and its only opened at night. They no longer charge an admission fee. Only $5 entry at all times which gets you a non-alcoholic drink.

Dancers are mostly quite attractive but overall low mileage right now for COI at least as to the availability of hardcore extras. The dances are cheap: $15 topless; $20 nude and $75 for a private 15 minute VIP. They've had some high mileage dancers pass through but right now they have more eye candy than hardcore providers but there are some. The dances are full contact but the lack of privacy in the topless and nude areas rules out extras for most of the girls. A few of them take better care of you in the private VIP areas but the reviews on the other site indicate that most of them can't be expected to offer a much spicier menu in the VIP. Still, at $75 for a full 15 minutes in private, it's a better deal than most regular lap dances in SoCal.

I was there last night for only the 2nd time with the specific intent to take a tumble with their wildest provider who is one of a kind. Her nasty factor is literally unexceeded in North America. She's as out there as you will ever find and I'd even be surprised if YMMV, but you never know. I met her on my first visit months ago but didn't do a VIP with her then. She's good for and enthusiastic about anything you can imagine and doesn't even ask for a tip. As you might think, she's not the hottest girl working at Monarchs but she's way more than OK for a girl with such an unlimited supply of favors to give out. I ended up with BBBJCIMWS but that's the least of what she has to offer. I won't name her here or via PM so please don't blast my inbox. The info is freely available on the other site.

I have been hitting up DVCOI day shift for a few years know. And the last few months I have been getting pretty burned out. It seems to be the same girls and most of these regulars won't even ask me for a LD because they already know the answer will be no. I have been meaning to try some other clubs but the price at the Vu is right and it is hard to change a habit.

Due to being somewhat cheap I have never done a VIP or even a full nude dance. I pretty much wait for the blue light specials in the topless room. With this program about the only action I get is a negotiated HJ and even that has been kind of rare lately. So anyway I did give the place what I thought might be a last try last week. So I get asked for a LD by a lady who is someone I have danced with about 8 times over the years, but certainly not someone who I have any kind of chemistry with. The dances have always been the same very good but nothing high mileage. So I was a bit shocked when I felt my pants being undone, the next thing you know she is fumbling around in her purse and then applying a condom. She then proceeded with a great BJ, without even a word said. I'm not complaining, just trying to figure out what would be the reason for this sudden change from the usual LD. So I thanked her after the dance and started to walk away just to see if I got some kind of "where the fuck is my tip" reaction. No reaction but I did turn around and hand her a $20 and see seemed happy.

I hate to see this thread die a slow death. Sure bonedin has much info regarding the clubs. Its always nice to come over here and see a club report.

I was in the area on another mission, and had a couple hours to kill, so I thought I'd pay a visit to a couple of clubs -.

Stopped in ad DVCOI, Sunday afternoons it's free admission, they didn't even hit me up for a drink charge, so I went in, got a Coke, tipped the hot bargirl, flirted for a while, watched some dancers. It was pretty slim pickin's, so apart from tossing a few singles on stage, I wound up getting out of there cheap.

Proceeded on to Paradise, about 5 pm. I got in free from a phone text message, this time with a $5 drink fee. Went inside and there were very few girls indeed. Cecilia sat by me, we had a nice convo in Spanish for a while, but I told her I like the delgaditas, the flacas, and she laughed, said "I guess I'm not qualified, tengo mucho fat" and moved on. Then Sativa came over, we started playing hanky panky very openly at the table for a while. I told her the VIP room is too rich for my blood, so we went to the nude area for a 2-for 1, very satisfying. Sucked on those nice mams, fingered her wet hole extensively, licked her ear as she moaned loudly and cranked my crank. Too soon, the 2 songs were over. I wasn't really up for a repeat, so I kissed her goodbye, drove home and caught the Game of Thrones season opener.

All in all, a great way to kill a few hours on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.

Man. I haven't get some extra for that place yet.

All,

I had spent a couple days in Tijuana and was driving back north up from San Diego. I had been reading about the strip clubs in COI and the reports intrigued me enough to make a side trip to one. I ended up going to Paradise, this was last Saturday around 5:30 PM. The club was pretty much dead. I paid $15 for the entrance and that included one NA drink. It was super dark, which is good I guess. I sat down alone at one of the booths when you enter to the right. I got approached by Jasmine, like I said it was really dark so it was hard to tell what she looked like, but she had big tits, was kinda thick but in a really good way. I also think she had a tattoo on her chest, but again it was so dark it was hard to tell. We ended up doing a couple 3 for 1's up in the private seating area on the other side. It was a good time, she allowed fingering and tit sucking, but it was kind of rushed. I told her I wasn't going to do a VIP just yet, and she said she was leaving soon, so she just got me off right then and there. This is definitely a club you want to wear pants that easily slide off lol. She asked for a $40 tip afterward, I said I'd give her $20 but she insisted on $40 because she got me off. Whatever, she knew I wasn't a local and wasn't going to be coming back here again, so I just gave it.

Cleaned up in the bathroom and sat back down. Got approached by another dancer, this one was an older blond from Colombia, don't remember her name. She started to rub my crotch but she soon realized I had already gotten a "dance" and told her to come see me a bit later. Finished my drink and decided to leave. Wanted to watch a stage show but nothing was going on.

Overall, not sure if I'd go back; looking back I should have just spent that money in Tijuana, but I'm glad I visited just to compare to what I have where I live. I think I prefer the strip clubs in San Francisco, even though they are more expensive.

Thinking about making the trek to COI, but wanted to clarify which clubs have the most private VIP area. I've seen Synn, Spearmint, and Paradise mentioned as being private, but does that mean they have a curtain pulled, a door, or what? I've only been to DV in the past and, while I had fun, I didn't like how the VIP booth was essentially open.

I can only speak for Paradise. Their VIP is its own room with a curtain for a door. The room is something like 8 ft by 8 ft and never had anyone bother me even if it was taking a long time to cum. This club also has another semi VIP area of half the price, which is a lap dance room but with separate single couches and a you shaped curtain that pulls around the seat like a shower curtain. Very private there too, nobody can see a thing that's going on.
