Hello fellow seniors,

Would someone of you would be kind enough to update the forum on the services available at the Venetian.

I may be coming with a group family tour and would not be able to go to the saunas which are extensively written about. Any other way to monger at the hotel would be excellent.

Thanking in advance

Charlie

Inspired by Kardel's post asking about the differences between mongering in Hong Kong and Macau, I decided to draw up a brief comparison between the two. After all, these two islands are right next to each other and quite similar in many respects. It's quite tempting to take that ferry ride across the sea to discover what the sin City of Asia has to offer. And while the two are fairly similar, they do have their differences, and here are their differences as I see them.

Good report on both places...i put this on ROD thanks

Inspired by Kardel's post asking about the differences between mongering in Hong Kong and Macau, I decided to draw up a brief comparison between the two. After all, these two islands are right next to each other and quite similar in many respects. It's quite tempting to take that ferry ride across the sea to discover what the sin City of Asia has to offer. And while the two are fairly similar, they do have their differences, and here are their differences as I see them.

Some generalizations first.

Hong Kong

Most mongers in this region of the world will be situated in Hong Kong. It's just bigger, easier to access, and easier to navigate as a foreigner. Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world, so be prepared to have your wallet feeling a lot lighter after a few days of fun. That said, there are so many things to do in this city. Even mongering itself has more variety in HK. There tend to be more South East Asian and Eastern European girls here. As far as legal issues go, as a punter you should have no trouble with the law. Even if you should be unfortunate enough to get caught in a raid, just show the police a copy of your passport and they should let you go without any major embarrassment or harassment. However, being that prostitution isn't "perfectly legal" here, along with the issues of illegal immigration, the mongering scene in general can feel a bit more sleazy. Also be prepared to endure more walks of shame and risk bumping into people you know with your newfound lady friend.

Macau

About an hour's ferry ride from Hong Kong, Macau is hailed as the Las Vegas of Asia. Transportation isn't as convenient as Hong Kong. There are fewer flights to Macau, so most people come to Hong Kong and take the ferry ride over. The ride itself is cheap, fast, and comfortable, but it still takes extra time and money. There's really not much to do in Macau, so you'll probably be bored out of your mind if you stay longer than a weekend. Also, Macau is heavily influenced by China, so English will not work as well as it does in HK. On the other hand, speaking Chinese (Mandarin) gets you much further in Macau than it does in HK. On that same note, Macau's selection focuses more on Chinese and less on South East Asian or Eastern European, though there is still a healthy variety. The best part about Macau is that since it gets about 80% of it's GDP from gambling and its associated sins, prostitution is perfectly legal and oftentimes encouraged. Rarely does Macau feel sleazy. All hotels are GF, rarely do you have to worry about a walk of shame, and it's virtually impossible to run into someone you know. Even in the one in a million chance that you do, you both know why you're here.

Now, on to the girls.

Saunas

This is Macau's bread and butter, and you've never been to one before, I strongly recommend that you do. It may be a bit more pricey, but nothing in HK even comes close. The quality of the girls is definitely top-notch, as is their service. The facilities are easily accessible, clean, friendly, and non-sleazy. The atmosphere is one of a gentlemen's club where you're just there to "relax, " not like other places where everyone's just looking for ass. The majority of the girls will be Chinese, along with a small offering of South East Asian girls, a couple Eastern European ones, and one or two black girls. If saunas are your thing, there's no question about it, Macau is hands down the way to go.

Hotel Reservation

HK takes the lead with this one, but only because Macau doesn't really offer this service. 141 and other similar sites have a bunch of profiles you can look over before calling them to arrange a session. Communication with the pimp may be a problem, and you also have to meet the girl at her hotel, not the other way around. The pictures, while real, are extensively Photoshopped, so keep that in mind. These girls will cost you about the same (and sometimes more) than a sauna experience in Macau with the additional inconveniences mentioned above. If this is your style of mongering, I suggest just going to a sauna in Macau.

Walk Ups

Again, HK comes out the winner, but only because this kind of service isn't readily available in Macau. Finding walk ups is similar to finding hotel reservation girls. Same sites, same Photoshopped pictures, only you usually don't have to call anyone beforehand. Instead, you visit the girls at their apartments, which are a little run down, are filled with Johns wandering the halls looking for a Jane, and reek of sex. Walk ups can be pretty cheap and the quality is average with a few good ones thrown into the mix. If you're just looking for a quick and dirty fix, HK will be your best bet for lack of similar service in Macau.

Streetwalkers

SWs aren't really my thing, but from my limited experience, I will say that it is pretty much a tie. Price, ease of access, quality, service, and variety of selection is about the same. HK streetwalkers seem to be mostly South East Asian while Macau has slightly more Chinese girls, though they are usually old and busted. Overall, Macau hotels are more GF to this sort of thing than HK ones, but there will still be a walk of shame past the front desk to your room.

Hotel Walkers

Okay, I made this category up, but it basically refers to the Lisboa racetrack girls and Venetian food court girls. Think of them as upscale streetwalkers. Basically it's the same routine, only the girls are younger, hotter, more expensive, and do their advertising inside a nice hotel instead of on the shady street. Service is oftentimes lacking and rushed. They have a nice room of their own upstairs and the walk of shame factor is a lot smaller since you're already inside the hotel and the girls are more attractive. Macau obviously wins this category because there's nothing comparable in HK, but if you're already in Macau and are prepared to spend this kind of money, I suggest just going to a sauna instead. Better bang for your buck.

KTV

Similar to SWs, my experience with KTVs is limited, mostly because I can't sing any Chinese or Cantonese songs so I feel that it's a waste of time and money. However, I will give the upper hand to Macau, as it appears to be slightly cheaper and have better quality girls. Macau's KTVs will feature mostly Chinese girls, while HK's will have a good portion that are local girls. The local HK girls don't come cheap though, and they're more stuck up and stingy with their service. KTVs might be a good choice if you're hanging out with a group of friends and some of them are locals, but if not, then I suggest partaking in something else depending on what you fancy. Even the best Macau saunas will be cheaper than a decent KTV experience.

Bars and Clubs

If Macau has its world-class saunas, then HK's answer is its famed bars and clubs. Wanchai, need I say more? The girls will be predominantly South East Asian with a few Chinese and Eastern European girls. If the gentlemen's club thing is too bland for your tastes, then flirting, drinking, and dancing with girls to loud music and later taking them back to your hotel to seal the deal may be more up your alley. The quality depends, but it's usually average to above average. And if you can successfully fend off all those pushes for tequila rock and roll, the price can be fairly cheap, depending on how you negotiate. Sometimes if you're lucky you can even pick up freebies. Macau has nothing similar. Sure, it has some bars where the working girls go to chill after their shifts, but they're off the clock and probably don't pay you much attention unless they're genuinely interested in you. So if drinking and dancing in a club with a high girl to guy ratio is for you, then you can't go wrong with HK.

In closing, both Hong Kong and Macau are great places for mongering. And since they're so close to each other, you should just give everything a try once just to see how you like it. Things work differently for everyone. But if you're not a frequently visitor to this region of the world and time and/or money is a limiting factor, then I hope this guide helps with making a choice. After you've made your choice, please refer to the other great guides on this forum for more detailed reviews of a particular venue, and you'll be all set.

Stew2,

Just to add another hotel suggestion to the mix, check out Best Western Taipa. It'll run you about $65-$70 per night for a standard room. It's a simple room, but the quality is nice and it's quite clean. The restaurant on the 2nd floor is also pretty good and reasonably priced.

I like to stay at this hotel if I'm only in town for a day or two of mongering. It's in a quiet neighborhood, about a 5-minute cab ride from the airport, and about a 10-minute walking distance to Venetian and City of Dreams.

One downside is that since most of the action is located on Macau island, the girls aren't quite willing to come to your room after they get off because they have to risk paying cab fare with no guarantee you'll actually be there. You can bring the girls back yourself, of course. All the hotels in Macau are GF.

If you'll be staying in Macau for more than 2 days, I'd pick something a little closer to the action. But this is a solid choice for those "quick fix" trips.

Just my two cents.

Hey guys, I have looked through the Macau pages pretty thoroughly, but haven't found what I was looking for; I'm wondering if someone who knows the scene there may have a good tip for me.

I am coming to Macau beginning of June for a couple of nights; the big draw for me is the saunas - best anywhere for that service that I have seen. Been once before, but only on day trip from HK; thought I would enjoy staying over and wandering around for tourist sites, feel of the rest of life in Macau during the day. I don't care about fancy hotels with a lot of perks - not where I want to put my money during an extended trip. Big modern hotels I can find anywhere in the world are not what I'm looking for. And I don't need to be right in the thick of the action (i.e., saunas or casinos neighborhood) for the hotel - would rather an interesting place to explore during the day and then grab a cab at night for the rest of activities... and whether it is GF or not is not important as well, as I am really more interested in the sauna scene for Macau than in bringing anyone back to the hotel (though I could always be persuaded that this is a mistake). What I'm looking for is to enjoy something a little different - local color, charm, historic feeling. Not the lowest end, but not the top either.

If anyone has a good suggestion for something moderately priced (mid range 50-75 USD or so) I would be deeply appreciative. Does this exist in Macau? I would think so with its heritage.

Thanks!

Stew,

I like the MetroPark Hotel near the Holiday Inn across from Police Station. Prices midweek are 60-65 USD. No casino, quiet, near everything so you can walk. Girl friendly as well. I ask for an internet room as well as they are larger.

I am staying there mid April for a week.

Hotel Royal, a bit out of the way, but standard room 530 Patacas, +200 for a superior room (HK-Macau Ferry Terminal price.) Drawback 1. no bfast at that price, Drawback 2. too many Mainland Chinese in the place. Advantages are comfy rooms at good price compared to other places in the 500 range, entirely girl-friendly, and general good value for money. I always stay there, and just got back from 2 nights.

Its better to avoid the Russians...looks could be deceiving....,.they have loads of attitude, a sense of eliteness and my god mood swings. I think only a Russian man could handle their ways of living a life....most anyway give crappy service and ask for ridiculous high price. Filipinas and Vietnamese are good anyday

You need to have a different approach for the Russian girls. They are there after work/saunas to have fun, drink and dance. Need to patient towards the end when D2 close then make a move. Some do have big attitudes but they pretend and play hard to get. They are more likely to go with younger, better looking guys.

If you don't have time to waste, just look up hotels on AGODA. com. Good Macau coverage. Balanced reviews. Your budget and your call. From the center of town (the Lisboa area) and from other locales, you can pick-up the self-guided walking tour (clearly sign-posted and marked on tourist map) and do the circuit in one outing. There are Saunas, BTW, IN a number of the hotels -- Beverly, Waldo, others.

If those are your specs, then better google macau hotels and take it from there, based on price range.
Plenty of option also in the downtown area.

Try Asiatravel.com. Metropark Hotel always cheap, less than $HKD 500 per night and close to all "attractions"

I am going to be there on June 13th to the 15th and I am staying for the 2nd time at the Metropole (not metropark it was expensive for those dates) hotel.

It is 480 HKG$ per night, walking distance from the Senado's square and walking distance from the Grand Lisboa, Wynn and MGM Casinos.

The Hotel is clean and staff is good. The only bad thing I can say about it, is the the Beds are so very hard.

Try this link is you want to book a room there

Lion Bar MGM rocks, great atmosphere, agree fillipinos and vietnamese hang around the bar area but saw no russians. D2, in the AIA building opposite the Grand Emporer Hotel also recommended for a look see after 2am. Handful of russians there along with fillipinos, vietnamese and thai.

Rio Sauna on Thursday evening was so so, showtime saw no more than 25 on parade, so dissapointing. There was one mongolian model which caught my eye but decided on having a straight massage, in total stayed 5 hrs, added 2 sessions foot massage, ear clean, manicure, and 2 sessions deep vein massage, bill came close to 1600 HKD.

On walking out I thought I go look in Rio Nightclub in the basement floor. First viewing line is free, and if you do stay, room fee is 1000, then ST is 1400, LT 2600. The papasan, Jacky Wan was quite friendly and spoke english and advised me to pick early, otherwise the best looking ones will all be gone by midnight.

Here a very useful link which may solve all kinds of similar problems.

Let me google that for you

Now that "animation" with LMGTFY is pretty sweet.

[MegaPoint]

I'm going to Macau on my monthly visa run from Zhuhai. This time I was thinking, that it's better to lose some money on sex, rather than lose them on a casino....

So my question is as following:

Where can I get a quickie in Macau? I don't want hours of weird massage, don't wanna soak in some oversized bathtub with a bunch of fat chinese businessmen, don't want a HKD 5000 supermodel. No, just wanna go in, get laid, leave!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I continue to think Darling 2 is a good deal for Macau these days. I have been several times, and had no complaints, and no problems finding a decent girl in the afternoons. The price (1088) is much more reasonable than Darling 1, and the girls have less 'attitude'. You soak in the bathtub with the girl, then she dries you off and does you. It's that simple.
