Looking for advice on Skull's Rainbow Room Burlesque show. I went in 2024 for a bachelorette and we waited outside starting at 9pm and watched the show standing. It was incredible and I would love to go back.
I am headed back to Nashville with my sisters and thought I would make a dinner reservation to watch from a table this time. I assumed we would pay the $25pp cover because the reservation would be for 9:30, we would order expensive food and then get to watch the show. When I went to make the reservation, there is a "standard reservation" and the following new option:
"Burlesque Experience Package
$125 Per Person minimum before taxes, fees and gratuity
Indulge in an unforgettable evening of entertainment at Skull’s Rainbow Room with our exclusive Burlesque Experience Package. Guests will enjoy a guaranteed view of the 11:00 pm burlesque performance while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Skull's Rainbow Room throughout the evening.

I really can't afford to shell out $500 and I am worried we will be kicked out after dinner before the show. I have read in some older reviews that a view of the show is not guaranteed, but I feel like the odds of seeing the show are worse now. Has anyone been since this new VIP thing started? I am considering not going at all now :( Any recent experiences would be greatly appreciated.
