Humm....So if some of you would remember my check in's on my many SF nites and wonder if I had a problem, well I know some of you we're suprised to realize I didn't, and in fact I worked in a club or two at one point of time. For some of yous..this is your first time hearing about it. Now lets skip forward and let me tell you the tale of the "Gentlemans Club" with two names. Is this place "Platnum Dolls" or is it "Peppermint Hippo?" well it forsure is the other mint and a whole different animal if you get my drift..only some will get what I ment about that statement lol. But the entertainment here was indeed on a different level and I have to say that for birthday festivities, on a "bronze, silver, or gold" scale this one is definitely "platnum" status. Seeing I don't venture to these establishments too often anymore, (Not that we could even if we wanted too in the last year or so) but this time was a celebration and I needed some.."therapy" yet let's just run with that. Now let me tell you why "Peppermint" with always be a cool "Hippo" in my book..
"Peppermint Hippo"
Location - Reno, Nv
Price - $25.00 x5
Entertainment - Well, let's just say money was spent :)
Peppermint Hippo Reno:
The "Peppermint Hippo" is a fairly newer brand in the nightlife industry. The cartoon "South Park" did parody the name in reference to the Deja Vu owned "Spearmint Rhino" (my pun from earlier) and this club is new to Reno..kinda. Even the staff here is getting use to the new moniker and the comparisons to the other minty animal club. Reno has it's options for Gentlemans Club/Cabarets in the area, but this one was a no brainer from my initial call to check on accomodations for my homies and I. The hostess on the phone here was a lot more friendly as compared to two other similar establishments I called and they were nice enough to make sure my party had a spot reserved for our visit upon arrivial.
We arrived and received some of the best service I've experienced in a while in this type of establishment and we even were given a cocktail waitress to tend to our table. The main thing about "Gentlemans Clubs" is making sure the patron is happy, the drinks are good and the entertainment aspect of the establishment is top notch. I would step out on a limb and say they knocked it out of the park in every area. Like if I lived in Reno, this would be a place I would definately like to work for....not for the reasons that some may be thinking. The DJ wasn't annoying as some could get and the..entertainment for the night was indeed entertaining. The lighting matched the overall theme of the club although outside....it goes back to that little tale of two clubs thing (Signage still says Platnum Dolls). I will say at the end of my visit, I was satisfied and the impression left was pretty good.
Overall:
"Peppermint Hippo" is a pretty nice establishment. It's got everything you would expect for the type of business it is. The service was supurb, the venue itself was very well kept and classy, and the overall vibe is just what I was looking for being a visitor to a establisment that is similar to ones I've worked for in the past. I would recommend this club to anyone looking to have a good evening out with friends. If you're a creepazoid however....don't go here killing the vibe. I would be visiting this club of two names again in the near future. read more
