your right it did'nt work the first time around, the place is ran totally different now, with a much more fun party in store. The orginal management tried to have an older dressed up crowd, which did not work. Now its 18 for ladies prices have been lowerd and the Ballroom will be a big party, body shots, bartenders pouring shots off the bar, contests Giveaways etc.. The ballroom is now a mix of hip house reggae etc, Velvets ballroom is one of the sweetest rooms around.
