If you happen to be arond the area, it would be ok to check it out. However if you make a trip out just to find the places, it might be a waste of time.
Well, if I look at the ones I know are gone now, and the ones I know are still there, the still there list is longer -- so it means chances are most of the unknown spots are still going. Some good clues for dating this list are that it lists Crystal as NEW. Also it lists Bumbi and Paradise I, which are across the street from each other, but not Night Star, which was next to Bumbi until not too long ago. I'm guessing this list is between a year and 2 yrs old.

Some I'm curious about, and if anyone knows of their current status, please do let me know:

Las Vegas, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tan Binh Dist. (no street number given, and that's one very long street!)
NOW - Bac Hai/Le Thi Rieng, Dist 10
Nemo, Duong So 23, Dist 6
Club 2000, Duong Cholon, Dist 6
Vertu, Huynh Van Banh, Phu Nhuan Dist
J Club, Hoa Binh, Tan Phu Dist

I can say that based upon what I've seen of some of the lesser known places appearing on this list, I think there's a fair chance some of these are very worth locating.

I'd probly head out to find them expecting nothing (or even another pile of rubble) and being pleasantly surprised at anything that did turn out to be ok.
