Forget strip clubs. I have come to the conclusion that strip clubs in CR are not worth the hassle. (I don't even consider thinking about SC in the US.

) The rooms in the SC's are 10x worse than the tico MP's. They are dark as shit, dirty, you don't want to touch anything with bare skin, especially the floor. SC's are the epitome of clock-watching, everything is timed, they go by songs, they don't even need a watch. And it's a huge pain in the ass with the $12 chica drinks to even talk to them before the session.
Honestly man, why do you even bother leaving the comforts of home? You do nothing but slam places that don't meet your pre-defined notions of 'Western Cleanliness'. You expect everything to be the Ritz. Fine, but don't talk shit about places based solely on this singular point.
The rooms at Alcazar are nicer than most hotel rooms I've stayed in. And the rooms at Le Gri and Pantera Rosa absolutely scream 'cheap, messy sex'!!! Ok, so that's not your cup of tea. But it is MINE! And I don't appreciate you telling new visitors to "Forget strip clubs" because you think everyone is just like you.
Strip Clubs are different than MPs, which are different from Del Rey independents. Any first timer should check out all the options and then decide what works for them. Now, back to topic.
I hit Pantera Rosa last week. Lady Drinks are $24, and not $12. The 30 minute room has no shower, and costs about 37k. The hourly 'suite' is 120k ... (that's $240 dollars to the mathematically limited of us). These are what I was quoted, and I had to ask 3 times to make sure I was hearing it right.
Alcazar is the cleanest club that I have visited. Drinks are 6k and the 30 minute room is 30k'ish. I remember the 'hour' being double, but if you buy overpriced bottles of liquer they don't care about time overruns.
J&N is the second cleanest, but I cannot recall the rooms. Someone else will have to speak to them.
Le Grillon is dumpy from the first entrance, but it has an endearing (lack of) quality about it. Just don't sit west of the stage: it reeks of toilet! The 30 minute rooms are minimal, and the 'bench' is not made for mish, so you're looking at feet on the floor sex, which suits me just fine.
Arcadas ... for me it's the "Calle Seis" of the strip clubs. Occasionally a diamond can be found, but it's not my kind of place. Oh, and they play porn on the tv in case the dancer doesn't do it for you.
