"Let me start by saying that we went to Dream Palace on a Tuesday night, so I am adding a star (from 0 to 1) just for the optimistic part of me that assumes it would improve on the weekend....that being said:\n\nMy wife and I always go to strip clubs together and are no amateurs to the scene being from the bay area in CA.\n\nWe decided on trying this place out because it was one of the very few fully nude clubs in the area. We should have known it was a problem when there was a guy on the side was with a neon yellow colored arrow sign that said \"nude\" dancing around like he was advertising a pizza joint. \n\nWe parked and walked up to the front door, nobody at the counter. The guy with the sign walked in from the sidewalk and I asked him how we paid the cover charge, and he said he didn't know, and suggested we just walk in......alrighty then. No hostess, no bouncer....a little odd. \n\nWalking inside the place if pretty good size, but was empty. I don't mean not many people...I mean there was a bar tender, two dancers standing at the end of the bar talking to him, nobody on stage and no music, and not one patron. He asked us if we wanted a drink, we declined and asked if they were open. Here is where the hustle began that is reflected int he other reviews here: \n\nThe guy told us that it was shift change, but he would put a dancer on stage if we wanted (it was 9 pm) but he said, almost all of the \"action\" takes place in the VIP rooms and walked up back there. He said $60 for the room rental, and then we should tip a minimum of the same amount to the dancer for 3 songs. I asked him when they would have more dancers on stage and he didn't seem to have an answer, but did repeat that \"well most of the action happens back here anyway\". \n\nWe thanked him and quickly left."^^ .
