Postings on ASSC indicate they have had a major facelift since I've been there last. Therefore, keep that in mind as you read my review.

As you enter, it's pretty dark and dingy looking with one stage. There are tables and chairs all around and a dark lap area in the back. There is also a VIP area upstairs but you have to pay extra to go there. There is another bar upstairs and you have to buy another drink. I didn't get anything upstairs that I couldn't get downstairs. It's more private and cleaner.

The laps here get about as nasty as you can get. It gets a little crazier at some other clubs but the dancers here are pretty good looking if you look enough. Many of the nastier ones were not as good looking IMO.

Club	Unknown	Have not seen the renovations.

The legendary Mon's Venus. The very first time I heard about it was in a English publication which included the best strip clubs in the world. Next to Mon's was a star indicating it was hot. Then, I met a dancer in Las Vegas from there that told me what goes on there. I was on a plane as quickly as I could buy a ticket.

What makes this club exceptional is not just the nasty factor. Somehow, they managed to get a very high percentage of good looking dancers to work there. This is unusual because many good looking dancers don't want to be nasty.

The club itself is nothing to write home about. It's fairly small with a small stage. Many dancers dance on stage simultaneously. No real action goes on stage. It's just a way for the dancer to hook up with lapping customers. There are couches all around, along with tables and chairs. Yes, as you might have heard, you can pretty much touch what you want except for that one spot. I saw some regulars doing it, but I was told that was a no no. Some pros mixed in with college students and long time dancers.

Club		Clean but small.
Dancers		No shortage of lookers here.
Attitude		Nice chats with the students.
Nasty Factor		I've had nastier but they deserve the maximum.

So fine, you can touch the quality there!
