A unique aspect of Mons Venus is the up-front pricing. Unlike its contemporaries, the club has signs clearly posted reflecting the $20-$30 price for lap dances. While other establishments encourage patrons to visit the "[[champagne room]]", a $30 dance is the most expensive activity available. |
|||
Furthermore, Mons Venus (like other Tampa strip clubs) permits its customers to touch and even [[fondle]] dancers, as long as there is no genital contact. |
