For a few years now, this club has had new owners. For the most
part, things at the club remain pretty much the same. Back in the day,
this was indeed my hangout, where I found several of my DOMs.
This club is technically located in LA but is located across the street from
Glendale. In the last few years, walls have been constructed at the
border making it just a little harder to come over to the LA side but it
won't take too much trouble to figure out how to get there. There is
street parking available but you can also optionally valet park on busy
nights.
As you enter, there is a box office where you pay your $10 cover charge
until 7pm, or $20 cover charge after 7pm, which includes 2 drinks. Z-VIP
members get $5 off the cover charge anytime. If you want unlimited
drinks, they are $15 during the day and $5 additional at night. They
do offer some interesting drinks like Espresso and cappuccino, so ask your
waitress. The club also offers $5 off the cover for Glendale
residents. There's also a lunch buffet from Monday through Saturday
from noon to 3pm.
Upon entering the club, the bar is on the right side, the stage (with 2
runways) comes out from the opposite wall. The lap dance booths are on
the wall on the side of the street, the bathrooms, DJ booth and dressing
rooms are all towards the back of the building. The men's bathroom and
ATM machines are behind the mirrored wall of the stage. You can get
there from the side of the bar. There is a vending machine near the
bar as well.
Since my last visit, the club has gotten a makeover and the building,
lighting, bathrooms, DJ equipment, and dressing room has been spruced up.
This club has never been known for nasty lap dances, which is still true,
and used to be known for some knockout lookers. For a while, they lost
their steam with the dancers but I'm happy to report that the scenery is
coming back. Some ladies to lookout for are Jenny, Misty and Kisses.
The lap dances are $30 for topless, $40 for nude and $50 for nude couch
dances. The couch dances are done in the booths on the side of the
wall where the bar is. Personally, I don't like the locations of these
booths so I'd recommend the the regular lap dance booths.
Unfortunately, as with all the other LA clubs, there are no longer shower
dances available. Those were the good old days.
There seems to be a lot of couples and groups with females visiting this
club. This might be because of the upscale atmosphere that doesn't put
off the female customers. In any case, it's good fun that can be had
by all. Come here for sensual lap dances and eye candy.
Expert Hint:
Use the lap dance booth that's behind the tree decoration. Even though
other customers can sit right in front of the booth, it's still the best
one.

Update 11/2008:
This club is closed. The review
below is from 1998.
As some of you might already
be aware, Star Strip on
La Cienega was closed, then bought by another club owner. This same owner
had part interest in the old Extasy club in Silverlake. This owner then
bought out the other partner and is now the sole owner of this club (now
renamed to Star Strip Too).
You might have noticed the facelift on the outside. On the inside, they gutted what used to be the kitchen and small office and have made the main room much bigger. They have 2 pool tables, a large screen TV, smaller TVs are the bar, a popcorn machine and the large stage have been replaced by 5 small stages (same as Star Strip on La Cienega). The "party" room behind the DJ still contains a large stage that can be used for private parties(?). There has been a complete change of management and workers (e.g. bouncers, DJs etc).
This club has always been known to have X-rated dancers working during the day. This is still the case to this day. The clubs seems to be a little slow especially during the day on weekdays. This can be good news to those seeking a lot of attention. If you have the money for laps, you will enjoy yourselves.
This club used to be known for the absolute nastiest lap dances ($30) and private dances ($20) in Southern California (including Tropical Lei). They got cleaned up when the video cameras were originally put in but I'm happy to report that the nasty factor has returned. They have a completely private room and during the day, if the dancer pays off the bouncers, none will watch over you. As in most clubs, the nasty factor is higher during the day.
Good amount of floor work done here on stage and private. The private dance is performed on a micro stage but is more private because it is in a room by itself. The shower booth has now been fixed and cleaned and is once again available. It is one of the larger shower booths available in LA.
As for the location, I have been told by several people that Silverlake
has improved the area by adding a private security company to help the
police officers. Personally, I have heard of less problems in that area but
as in almost ANY area in LA, I would still be careful at night.
