Scores Gentlemen's Club and Prime Steakhouse — Restaurant in Tampa

(Friday Night Visit 12-15-23), I came in for some VIP action, as I typically do. Back in 2017-19, I would have had almost the whole lineup approach me over an hour time interval and ask if I wanted to do some songs, I would then select a dancer to my liking and proceed to VIP. This was consistent over many visits. Unfortunately, things are changing, and it's not a reflection of just this club, but rather broader trends that involve any number of factors. These observations are becoming consistent, I've witnessed them with greater frequency at other clubs.

I was there for over two hours, I had no comers. I looked at the VIP rooms, and with the exception of one occasion, they were vacant. Also didn't see many floor dances by the stage area, there were some, but not many. Most of the dancers were just talking to customers. Are the dancers making money? Quality of talent has also diminished lately - in 2017-19, there were some genuine stunners here. I was beguiled by their statuesque beauty and would treat them to VIP. However, now there are mostly Tampa 5's, ahem. This is a trend I've seen for the past several years, repeatedly, at other clubs as well. And like I mentioned, these trends are beyond the purview of this club, they're broader, even national. Many newer dancers are from Generation Z, it's generation that eschews materialism and embraces equity. Hey, that's noble, but it's not putting customers into the VIP room. Only Fans may also be absorbing the higher end talent I enjoyed years prior. But I don't go on such websites, they're for simps. I have too much pride, dignity, honor and self respect for that nonsense.

Anyway, after a couple of hours of inaction, I decided to order a steak and ate it while staring blankly at the stage show.

So much for being a Scoresman.

Eventually, I left the facility with the satisfaction and reassurance of saving my money. The VIP rooms...

DONT COME HERE AND DONT AUDITION. SCAM AND TIME WASTERS. OBVIOUSLLY RACIST HERE. Came here to audition. They told us to be here at 10 pm. And if we wanted go get hired we had to do the amateur night. They have us go perform on stage at 11pm and 2 pm. And in between we can't work.. we just sit in a booth and do nothing. We do 2 stage sets 30 seconds each and customers aren't allowed to tip. Your basically there for free and wasting 5-6 hours of your night not doing anything.. At the end we were told they weren't even hiring. Even if they said the only way to get hired was by doing amatuer night. All of us were there for no reason. 20 girls came and only 3 girls won. The 3 girls that won didn't even get hired. They just used us for bodies. There wasn't even any customers waste of time and club is wack as f. No diversity in this club. All white girls and girls who look white. Amateur night only 2 skinny white girls won and the bouncers and dj were already setting them up to win before the contest was over. Smh. What a scam. When we came into audition there was no guidance. Just told us to go in the locker room and that was it. Overall the worst experience I ever had and...

How should I put it? Its a Gentleman's club or is it? I mean if I want a steak, would I really look up a Gentlemans club? Anyways, puns aside. I was looking for Gentlemans club so this is where I end up being close to Airport and all. $30 cover. Ok! Must be amazing. So I go in, sit at one of tables, order a drink. There are about 10-12 patrons inside. Someones dancing on stage. Nice. Few girls walking around. Very good. They are pretty. Splendid! So I finish my first drink, go on to second one and in the half hour I am there, not a single girl stops by. Okie no harm no foul, let me approach em. So they want an arm and a leg for private dance, like are they talking pesos! Well no worries, I am already here, so lets give it a shot. Went with 3 song package. And believe you me, this girl Air danced in front of me for 2 songs out of those. No touching, no nothing. Why is it called private dance or whatever? USD 200 for bunch of floof. Got the hell out of there before I need to get a loan to order a steak! Scam is what this is at...
