| - If you're looking for a good salsa place, don't come here. You're better off at El Rancho or somewhere else.
Granted, they are renovatiing the dining room, where I remember you can have dinner, and watch a flamenco show, and have free cover to go upstairs to the club. It's renovating now, and they took down tthe Plaza Flamingo sign and it's called "Club is Open"
After paying the steep $12 cover, you go upstairs to this dingy room. They did renovate a little since I was there, and there's nice couches you can grab even if you don't have bottle service. You even get waitress service.
The dance floor is simple and very loud. The bass was turned up so high, that you had to shout. It got better after a bit. There are lots of laser lights.
If you're looking to pick up, all the girls here are either attached, escorts or just not looking.
What was really disappointing was that during the 3 hours were there, they played maybe only 2 Salsa Songs. Lots of Meringue and Bachata and Cumbia/Reggae.
There were also some top 40, but that's not what we were there for. Actually, we danced more hustle in the room than ever to the pop songs. After 12, we just go lots of gino beats, with the crowd to reflect that.
Not really our scene.
After 6 years, I wanted to give the place another chance, but I probably will never come back again.
