| - If you want a real strip club experience visit Tampa's Mons Venus as you will get more satisfaction losing your $$$ to slot machines at the casinos than losing it at Spearmint.
Went to this place on a Saturday night, which was packed just as expected. And as anyone who's been around the block would tell you, when the demand goes up, the strippers' true colors shine right through. This is a big club with poor lighting and a very greedy ownership.
The girls are rather rude and unless you are willing to wave your checkbook to get their attention, they simply have no time for you. A typical stripper normally operates by putting on a charm and talking you into having dances just so you would feel special and enjoy your night; however, at this place if and that's a "if" they come up to you, they say: "want to get a dance? no, get the hell out of my way...." Nobody likes that sort of attitude.
If you are not lucky enough to find a table to sit at (which btw, costs an arm and a leg and a decent amount of ass kissing), you are forced to stand around and get harassed by the security that wants the "roads" open even if you are leaning against the wall and there is enough room on front of you for a 300 lbs person to move right though.
When I finally found a girl that I liked, she said she had to get on the stage and her manager didn't agree to let her skip the stage so I could have a couple dances. Customers are a priority at this place....NOT!!!
The dance area is a bit of a joke too. The girls talk a lot about the private dance area, but trust me when I tell you this, there is nothing private about the dance area which costs $100 for 3 songs. You will have more privacy and space in a prison cell since you will be sitting in a room with at least 10 other dudes sitting closely next to each other getting "private" dances.
So the ownership gets a big fat F for creating an establishment that has little respect for your entertainment and is out to squeeze you for every dime you have while offering you not much in return.
Unless you are a serious high roller who is there to spend a couple G's, you will be leaving this place with a sore behind rather than a hard on. Do yourself and your buddies a HUGE favor and hire a few strippers to come to your hotel for a fraction of what you will end up losing at this place.
I'll sum it up for you.
Cab + booze + cover charge + table charge + dance charge + inconvenience and hustling = $$$$$$$$$$.
Your hotel room + your booze + your choice of dancers = $$$.
