I read in a post below that LE raided 4 Tampa clubs in Dec.  Anybody know which clubs, and changes in club policies that may have resulted?  Also, any news on more recent LE raids?  I have been know to frequent Mons, Odessy, Ybor Strip, and Pink Pony in earlier trips, although have grown to prefer the less hectic pace at Ybor Strip.  Any recent LE action at any of those?  Input would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks, and looking forward to sharing the joy down there.

The 4 clubs owned by Galardi were the ones that were targeted which included Pink Pony.  Haven't been there since.  I think Ybor Strip is the best going now although Deja Vu and Diamonds can be very good also

All the clubs are still pretty good .. but no more action at the pony or gold rush since they changed mgmt in dec ..

Pink Pony has had LE issues.   Ybor Strip is the best

I'm not sure which four clubs were raided so I can't help you there. BUT ... I can attest to the fact that Ybor Strip and Deja Vu are by far my favorite clubs to visit. The girls are hot, sweet, and you don't feel the "hustle" of other places, like Mons Venus. Which we all know a strip club is a hustle from the word go.

Yeah, the girls are drop dead gorgeous at Mons, but they also walk around nude and dance as often as possible. Since there are no VIP private rooms at Mons, any and all lap dances are right there on the main floor for everyone to see. Thanks, but no thanks. I don't care to see 10 other guys licking your tits and then you ask me if I'd like a dance. All I can think is, "Go wash." So, unless you're packing some moist towelettes from KFC, I'd skip Mons. It's like a $20 cover just to get in too.

Ybor Strip and Deja Vu are more relaxed, and there are usually enough girls working that they can take more time to spend with you ... which, if strip clubs is your thing, that's wonderful. Deja Vu can get expensive, $150 for 30 minutes in a VIP. And security has cracked down a lot, so I'd doubt if you could get any extras. As always though, it depends on who's working and the girl.

If you want action period, you're best bet is still to seek out an independent lady to your liking. Money better spent with no frustrations that a strip club can leave you with. ie. megahorny Tampa certainly has plenty of great ladies to visit, independent, lingerie shop models and such. Shop wise I like The Legend of Sensual Secrets a lot. Great, sexy girls who aim to please, and rarely miss their target! As far as indies go, the list is long for Tampa.

Great input, and agrees with everything I've experienced in Tampa.  Never tried a shop, though, and always willing to learn.  What's protocal?  How high should I set expectations?  Specific girl recommendations?  What kind of $$$ involved?  Maybe I'll try Legend for a different taste of Tampa.  God knows otherwise it's always been a feast!

On my way in a few weeks.  Look for the guy with the wrinkled clothes and dumb smile stumbling out of the VIP rooms at Ybor and a few others, and that'll be me.  I'll see a few indies down there too, so no way I won't have a great time.  Just helps to know LE situation, so thanks for the input.

Legend is great. I've seen Phoenixxx Blaque, Tampa's resident porn star and she will rock your world dude. Also have met, but never been with Kayla and Melanie Starr. Either one of those three would be right up there on my list. But all the girls there are great.

Protocol, expect to spend about $300 for a half hour if you're wanting full service. It's expensive once you add up the room fee, the girl's tip ... it's worth it for a change of pace, but not something you'd want to get in the habit of you know?

Lots of independent ladies can be seen for a full hour at that $$$, and it's much more a GFE. The shop is, or can be, a busy place. So the possibility exists that you'll hear people in the hallways, which can be a wood splitter. but if you got the $$$, it can lots of fun for a quickie.

give me a jingle. If not, lots of great gals here.
