“Huge place”

Usually ten dollars for cover, and their drink prices are a bit above average elsewhere. Excellent show and a great spot for dancing.

“Play”

Wow, this was exactly what we needed. The space is fantastic, but the staff really impressed me. I've never been to a club where employees were so friendly and attentive. They all greet you with a smile when you arrive and when you leave. It's also very clean. Thanks, Play!

“I had so much fun.”

I hadn't gone out in years and heard about a Play location coming to town from another city, so I decided to check it out. Right when I entered, happy staff welcomed me. The drag show was fantastic and the club was incredible. I had a wonderful time and would suggest it to anyone who asks.
