I finally got back to Paradise today, my first time visiting since the remodel. Things do look better- walls painted, ceiling fixed in the wet area, all new wood in the dry saunas, plus some other cosmetics updates. Not sure it's worth $10 more per visit, but the look of things isn't why guys usually go there anyway. That was evidenced again today. Some of the usual Friday afternoon crowd, plus some new guys.
It does seem like the vibe has changed, less worry about discretion. Different staff guy (very cute) walked through a few times, not seeming to care what he may have seen. PM if you want additional info.
