Returning to Rio last week in May.
Thanks to the members that responded to my question about another MABS. OK, so I didn't ask the question clearly. I was under the influence of a entire bottle of a Robert Mondavi cab wine. Thanks, but I should of said I'm not returning to Asia. I'm not looking for a bar were the girls are walking around nude or in their underwear. Places like that are great but not something I'm looking for. Most members on this Rio site have been to MABS. Its a bar like no other. It has outside seating for at least 100 customers. If you show up between 10-11 or even later you find yourself a table, order a drink, and in my case start scouting for a pretty chica that will go to your apartment for an hour for 200 r or less. The cheapest I've got was 150 r for a young beauty. Then the next night I picked the same girl up with her girl friend for 150 r each. I don't think a place like this exists in Europe Like I said at my age Asia is too hard to get to. I'm not a high roller so Prices at Mabs is right down my alley. I'm just curious if any members know of another place like this in South America (I should of said that). I hope I didn't make too big of a fool of myself with my dumb question.

Help on hotels in copacabana
Are most Rio hotels against sexual tourism / bringing working girls in hotel?
I checked with hotel Canada in copacabana saying, I will stay for 5 days and maybe bring some guest for 1 day in middle. Reception guy says when you check in you should tell both guest name. You cannot bring some girl in middle and he shows the board "sexual tourism not allowed".
Same board is there in portobay, Windsor group of hotels etc.
Please help me with some girl friendly hotels in copacabana area (Hilton Marriott etc is too expensive for me).
I need to stay in that hotel for 3-4 days and bring girl in middle for a day.

[QUOTE=Hotrod10;2318053]Several times in Rio I have had problems using my VISA debit card. I always notify my bank when I travel to Brazil and give them my travel dates but on my last 3 trips, Visa still shut me out. IATA banks in Rio have always been the most accommodating but on my last trip when my Visa debit card didn't work at a IATA bank I asked a bank clerk and she said VISA no longer works in Brazil. I doubt if that is true, but when I checked that out with Visa they said they have experienced so much fraud in Brazil that they have placed Brazil on their highest fraud alert scale and they no longer deal with many banks. Just something to think about for your next trip to Rio.[/QUOTE]Hotrod, they won't listen, you are wasting your time. For years I have been telling people on this board to NEVER EVER use a credit card or debit card in Brazil!! Every time I give the warning, immediately, someone else comes on the board saying "I've never been robbed! My father always said that a hard head makes a soft ass, so you guys keep using your bank cards in Brazil Just don't get pissed when I say "I TOLD YOU SO!
