Various Venues in Dubai April - May 2014
Executive Summary.
York Club. Located on the second floor of the York International Hotel. Caste system in place at entry, 75 dirhams entry unless of a preferred caste, or a privileged customer. All women pay 75 dirham at the door, in and out permitted. Women who have already been ST'd will be stamped on their forearm. Open until 3 AM. Entry is up a flight of stairs, pat down at the door and passage through a metal detector. A solid Pinay cover band plays a wide range of music from pop ballads to metal. The club was observed to generally have a mix of PRC, CIS, FSU, PI, HCM, and East Africans. Drinks range from roughly 2-5 dirhams for water, 35 dirhams for a draft pint, and 40 dirhams for a shot of top shelf whiskey. Counting change is advisable. WGs are not permitted to approach unless customer has purchased a drink.
Women generally begin arriving from 9-11 PM seven days per week. The women are generally sales-oriented, some will approach fairly aggressively (Esp. East Africans): numerous lookers from Djibouti and Eritrea with sweet demeanors (typ. <25 years old); occasional North African (Tunisia, Algeria); PRC generally of average to above average appearance and service-oriented (typ. 30+ years old);; FSU (Ukraine, Russia) not well-represented and of average appearance tend to arrive after 11 PM (FSUs generally don't approach and seem to go for South Asians); HCMs tended to be more demure and of average to above average appearance. Quoted rates generally ranged from 800ST to 1000 LT, occasional quotes for FFM 800ST.
Regal Hotel. Regal Hotel is frequented by CIS ladies taking a break from Rockafellas upstairs. Admission to Rocksfellas is 200 dirhams. One can avoid the cover charge and get similar exposure to the WGs by ordering a drink and a meal in the cafe restaurant located on the lobby level of the hotel. It's easy to strike up a conversation with attractive CIS WGs from Uzbekistan or Kazahkstan here. Beverages can be discretely ordered after 3 AM.
Premier Club. The Premiere Club is located on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency. A cover of 150 dirhams is charged at the door. M / F ratios are poor and the club becomes oppressively crowded, but talent is excellent and diverse: Russian, Ukrainian, Khmer, Persian, Turkish, et al. Ladies were approaching aggressively and quoting 2000 dirhams ST / LT.
Red Square. Located in the Moscow Hotel. A cover of 200 dirhams was charged at the door by a blonde ice queen. Table services are upsold upon entry, but can be avoided by heading to the bar. Mostly Russians, Ukrainians, FSU, Persians, East and North Africans. Quality was average to excellent. Quoted rates generally ranged from 1000ST to 1500-2000 LT. Atmosphere was a somewhat chilly and transactional (YMMV). Average cover band. An adjoining cafe on the lobby level provides opportunities for chatting up WGs taking a break from the noise and smokey air in the club.
Premier Inn Dubai Silicon Oasis. This hotel is located approximately 15 km from downtown Dubai. The hotel is remote and low-key--definitely not a place to hunt; rather if you have a car and a WG from a club you can park in the subterranean parking garage and take an elevator directly to your floor. A pub on the lobby level serves average quality bar food, has a full bar, pool table and football on multiple TVs. This hotel probably isn't a good option unless one is staying in DSO or needs a refuge and wants to go LT for a day or two in a three star hotel for 450-550 dirhams (prices vary seasonally).
