I've never seen it at 45-50, but I have seen 65-70
[QUOTE=Mfins;1625535]I checked this as I will be down there this weekend. Not sure how people are getting $40-$50 rates at Veneto. I have never seen it less than about $89 a night plus tax including this weekend. Whats the trick?[/QUOTE]It seems to be a weekday thing. Years ago weeks were expensive and weekends cheap. It seems to be the opposite now.
Difference of opinions is always a good thing.
We might need to agree as to what is a pro.
Same as with any kind of salesman I would employ. He / She needs to be somebody that could create traffic in my store / shop / etc. , and close the deal. And so it goes with the girl.
If she dresses like she was somewhere in the pueblo that she comes from, I doubt she will get many takes, if she just sits around and is more interested in reading her watsapp conversation or looking at photos of her family back home, if she stays sitting at the one-arm bandit all night and not moving around starting conversations and approaching customers, if she does not know how to sell her product through her words and mannerism when some fish has bitten on her hook. She is not a pro.
If she dresses to attract, not cheap (commensurate to the environment she is working at). If she has a time limit to allow you to sink your teeth in her hook and make you take the deal, if she has presence, if she WORKS at it. Then she might be considered a pro.
Granted some girls at Habanos or Veneto are not pros and never will be. But those that are work on their turn-over do have more than one customer a night, sometime many more.
Same as any saleman, some are, many are not.
It is a matter of opinion.
Looking for Update on Working Girl Apartment Building
This is probably a question for those of you who live in PC and really get around. There is a four story building at the corner of Av Central / Via Espana and Calle L. It's one block south of the viaduct, where Via Espana becomes Av Central. The front corner of the building is rounded and there's a Dynasty department store in the ground floor. There is a yellow painted doorway and stairs to the left of the last window of the Dynasty store on Av Central. This allows you to walk up to the apartments above.
When a friend last visited it with some locals in 2012, the upper three floors were apartments where the women did business. Each apartment was fitted with a normal wooden door, and a "jail door" with widely spaced bars. If the girls are working, the wooden door will be open, and you can look through the bars of the "jail door" to see who's who. The girls frequently sit just inside the door to facilitate this. The price in 2012 was $12 for 15 minutes. There can be anywhere from 1 to 4 girls in an apartment. Despite the low rates and the questionable location, there were some decent looking women there, about the same selection you'd see at Boca.
Here's the question, is this place still in business and has anyone been there recently? I rode by in a taxi last weekend and there were lights on upstairs but I couldn't tell anything beyond that.
