Ratsky at Holiday Inn Burjuman area / Embassy district
Hi Always Horny.
I occasionally go into this hotel for a drink when staying in hotel apartments just up the street (Moon Valley). The hotel bar is pretty tame, although there is a hot looking female fili solo singer performing some nights. The club you were in is Ratsky 3. There being two others in Dubai. Ratsky 1 in Karama and Ratsky 2 in Deira. Ratsky in Karama is the one most posted on in the forums.
Ratsky 3 in the Holiday Inn is independent of the hotel and certainly was open 5 or 6 nights a week when I was last in a few months ago. I agree, there are quite a number of lookers to suit all tastes in the club. What put me off was the 50 Dhs door charge with no drink included. The Ratsky in Karama has a 75 Dhs entry charge with one drink included. I suspect that a few of the girls in the club are part timers. Certainly, Diana who I ran into there, had a low paying retail job in Karama. The Vegas club used to have great live band two to three years ago when the hotel was known as the Excelsior, and there was always a smattering of WG's hanging around. So, the upshot is that Ratsky 3 is a P4P pick up joint. However, unless the door policy has changed on drink included with entry, I won't be heading back. Good to know that the hotel is at least Orange in terms of guest policy.
Looking forward to my upcoming trip later this week, when I will probably head for Ratsky in the Karama Hotel, which is more down and dirty than Ratsky 3 in Holiday Inn.
Great handle by the way.
Cheers.
MJ.
[QUOTE=AlwaysHorny; 1494209]Now, a question for others. Is anyone else familiar with this Ratsky? They were closed on Sunday (which is when I really wanted to go, so had to settle for Saturday). I assume that was because of the national holiday that Sunday.
However, to be sure, does anyone know the official days and hours of the place? I don't believe they are officially associated with the hotel (and I can't find a website for Ratsky) , so they may not be able to tell me, though I will eventually ask. I'll be back midweek, and I'd hate it find out too late it isn't open.
Just a heads up, Ratsky sometimes has special party nights (like a Halloween party) where it becomes a legitimate club with lots of local couples, and I heard the "girls" don't work that night.
The hotel also has a Vegas nightclub in the basement parking garage (very strict dress code) and an Indian club / restaurant, which I think is associated with the hotel, next to the desk area. I have no idea if any action can be had there. There is also a British pub associated with the hotel, which is definitely just a pub. I think I'm forgetting about one other place.
That's my (long) report for the Holiday Inn. Embassy District. If anyone else can share information, it would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Up the creek without a paddle. Or WG!
[QUOTE=Steve W; 1494515]I don't know about the Jemeirah Creek, but LM is perfectly fine. The girl will have to have your name and room number to register. But you don't have to be there, so that takes away much of the awkwardness. Also, Jules bar is so convenient. Good selection and the rate starts at 500dhms for the hour. As you're only there 3 days, this is a really convenient option. Good luck!
Cheers,
SW.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the reply Steve. I'm thinking of going to Jules given your response. But company have now booked Jemeirah Creek for me. So I do need to know if it is green or not. I don't like the idea of giving a real name to a girl for the room at LM. Surely not full name with surname? Would never do that! So would want to go to Jules, make the selection and get the girl back to JC. If it's green? Does anyone know if this hotel is green? I've RTFF and one suggestion has been to call the hotel directly and ask! Not sure if I want to do that only to be embarrassingly told "no". So I'm hoping a member here knows whether Jemeirah Creek is green? Thanks
