Started strip-clubbing in Toronto in the late 80s / early 90s. Sadly, I haven't found similar laxity of rules, or fineness of women, anywhere since. I've clubbed solidly in Memphis, Tampa, NYC, Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Miami, Quebec, Montreal, etc..

Lots of girls waggling about, at this typical "African-American shake joint." There are cubicles, and the right girl can make your night very enjoyable for a reasonable price. However, on a high-volume night like Saturday just at midnight, it's not necessarily a great time to VIPs Read On...

Haven't reviewed Visions in a while. Little has changed -- still the "best" place to go in New Orleans, although it is still rather restrictive relative to many other cities, and although it has a honky-tonk and locals' type of feel to it. On VIPs Read On...

This is "where the locals go" in New Orleans, and therefore has the highest percentage of non-tourists among the clientele of about any NOLa strip club. I like that there is a neighborhood feel (even at high-volume times like Friday night) but I find that VIPs Read On...

Well, Scores goes up and down. The clubs in the French Quarter are always a hit-or-miss proposition. Scores is still opening later than most clubs, which may be a good idea, because it shows that they're not willing to charge you their exorbitant prices just VIPs Read On...

Lots of hot ladies here, as always. The Visions crowd of clients is mostly locals, white businessmen and contractors and construction workers, the "where y'at" crowd; some Hispanic laborers, and college frat boys, but not many. The girls are high in number right now because VIPs Read On...

This is a place where you can spend a lot of money to accomplish what can be done outside the French Quarter for a lot less money. But it's still fun to drop in on this "official Bourbon Street dive" and find out that the VIPs Read On...

Had the pleasure of re-visiting Jazzy (Jasmine) the Latina (Honduras?) with wonderful natural titties. She'll make sure you're satisfied. Had the pain of meeting (as mentioned in a previous review) Venus. She'll make sure you know that she's miserable. The whole set-up here is typical VIPs Read On...

Warning to the buds at TUSCL. Although I've recently reviewed this club, I thought it prudent to mention something else for everyone's benefit: there probably have been changes at Passions since that last review after a recent shooting. Two or three nights ago a death VIPs Read On...

The tale of the seventeen dollar drink. Yes, $17. I drop in here, time to time, because the line-up of girls is generally young, skinny, unenhanced looking -- these are the visual body types I prefer. But they're just SO money-grubbing it's annoying. Last time VIPs Read On...

Back up again, in my estimation. I drop by every now and again -- was insulted by the house mom who called me a 'regular' so I guess I'm there often enough to get noticed. The women are consistently very attractive and (for dancers) very VIPs Read On...

Still has exactly what is reported as available, I can confirm. It's a rather loud, grinding, annoying place, with bad ventilation, no "bar" to speak of (just a counter where they have canned cokes and bottles of different alcohol brands, pouring into a plastic cup), VIPs Read On...

Interesting place. Some very hot women, and a lot of young-adult couples and groups attending as customers. But the contact is limited. The back room (not the extremely expensive "private" room, just the lapper-room) was free for entry, and dances were $20 per song. One VIPs Read On...

Visited recently on a weekend trip to Houston. Found out that things still go pretty much according to the old system. Got in, saw the line-up, picked a girl, went upstairs. She insisted on $170, which included a "required" tip, even though the signs on VIPs Read On...

Another bad experience at Visions. As a girl walked the bar and got to my position, she decided she needed to move my stuff out from in front of me for her to dance adequately. Unfortunately, she didn't just "move my stuff" but rather, scattered VIPs Read On...

Had a decent time here recently. It's still VERY smoky, but I guess if you're willing to brave the oxygen-free zones then you'll probably enjoy yourself. Lappers available for $20 per song in the "public" side room, or in a more private cubicle down the VIPs Read On...

Surprised myself by visiting this dive-of-a-club, a classic New Orleans joint. The mannequin's legs swinging in and out of the front window, have been since about 1976. The set-up is cruddy, with rickety chairs and a half-baked pole and a waitress that covers as manager VIPs Read On...

Recently remodeled, means that there is a nice dark corner on the downstairs floor for privates. I have experienced decent contact and now it's nice that you don't have to take a "full half hour" type of deal just to go upstairs and meet the VIPs Read On...

This place is starting to lose some of its appeal for me. Whereas it was initially a "high class" place, in which many of the details were carefully taken care of even if there wasn't major payback to the management when they did take care VIPs Read On...

Well, in so far as this IS a strip club, it's pretty poor. It's about as far away from Bourbon Street as you can get and still be a strip club in the French Quarter, down on Royal at the intersection of Iberville. Girls from VIPs Read On...

Got myself into this place a few more times since my latest review. Still the same story. The cubicles are definitely high-mileage, and with the right girl you can get whatever you want, although some women here are less than "ideal" by my tastes. VIPs Read On...

Costs a bit more, and it's worth it! I've had private experiences with Penelope, Alena, and Carmen, and they all know how to be personable in just the right way. The mixed drinks generally run about $9 (too high!), for yourself or a dancer; the VIPs Read On...

I'm a little concerned over recent developments here. I'm going to lower my rating a little bit. Though many of the girls are fairly to extremely hot -- 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s only -- a few have a "princess" attitude that actually cost me money VIPs Read On...
