15455 E. Valley Blvd., La Puente Exit 60 E. Fwy at Hacienda, left on Three Palms, left on S. Hacienda, left on E. Valley (562) 943-9915 Sun - Sat: 6pm - 2am Cover: $5 (VISA, MC) Dance fee: $27/hr Map The club is located in the same strip mall as the Spearmint Rhino. There is a Pho Hoa (Vietnamese noodle place), a massage parlor, a bar owned by the same owner as the Spearmint Rhino called Mahoney's where a lot of the Rhino dancers hang out before their shifts; a Wells Fargo ATM and a Denny's within walking distance. This club is almost as nice as its’ sister club, the Sugar Honey. As you enter the club the bar and cash register is to the right. The girls sit on couches across the room from the front door. Between them and the door are small tables and chairs for the customers to sit. To the right of the bar is the main "couples only" area, which includes a cabana-like TV room and a small, dance floor enclosed in smoked Plexiglas. There are additional couches outside and behind the TV room. Privacy is not as good as at Club Fantasy. I’ve seen some pretty good grinding occurring on the dance floor, although if you go when it’s busy you may feel like a sardine. This club has a system similar to Starlight, where instead of picking the girls yourself, they prefer that you let one of the staff (usually the waitress/waiter or the floor manager) know who you want to dance with and they will get her for you. They use a computerized system to keep track of the girls’ time. The girls who are available are listed, along with their number, on the left side of the screen. When you clock in a girl they click on her name, which starts the clock running and transfers her name to the "With Client" list on the right side of the screen. When you bring her back they reverse the process. The program also has the ability to run a tab for drinks. Pricing and minimum dance time is the same as most clubs. There is no minimum charge on ATM/credit cards. If you pay by ATM or credit card and, presumably, put the tip on the card as well, there is a 15% surcharge on the amount of the tip only. The club is smaller than Fantasy, and prior to their installing cameras they had between 40-50 girls on busy nights. Now they’re usually in the high 30’s. There are no set shifts per se as at Fantasy. The girls are supposed to work a five-hour shift and then they can go home. The club doesn’t start happening until 9 PM, and a lot of girls arrive between 9 and 10. Looks-wise, the quality of the girls overall is not as good as at Fantasy. I understand they have discontinued the lingerie nights. Both the TV room and the larger, adjacent couch area have cameras, although you can’t see them. There are usually at least two, sometimes three, security guards who periodically patrol the rooms, sometimes with a flashlight in hand. The lighting in the TV room, which used to be quite dim, has also been turned up a bit. The cameras and stepped up security were prompted by the discovery of condoms on the dance floor and other areas. This is what my friend Old Smoker had to say about this development: “When you have a situation where condoms are being found on the dance floor, sitting areas, wastebaskets, toilets and in the urinals, what you are saying to the club management and LE authorities is, "F**K YOU!" You cannot do that with impunity. In the past, police have actually gone into bathrooms at clubs (i.e., Danceland, Flamingo, Dreamland, etc.), gone through the garbage, and made condom counts. Augment your Carnal Implementation Kits! Carry rubber gloves, plastic bags, etc. Don't leave any evidence at the club of your dastardly deeds. Dispose of the evidence away from the club. Make yourself a mental checklist. Make sure that you don't leave any "mood enhancers," neck massagers, body oils, aqua-lube, lotion, etc. at the club to be found by guards, waitresses, etc.” |
