Dubai Reports

When the river flows red... take the muddy track :)

[QUOTE=11Bravo] "But I can suck", which was good as I don't swim in the red river. [/QUOTE]

Has anyone else noticed the parking at Rattler is getting to be a pain in the ass? Let's hope the one last sane place for parking doesn go all Bur Dubai on us!

[QUOTE=Bpd81]From Bangkok to Dubai I don't know why WGs think most guys are gullible to believe this crap. Wait I do know...[/QUOTE]Mind you, its not any worse than crap I get from other sales people wanting to keep in touch or the crap I send out to my "prospects". I'm sure most of my clients see through it but there are always the gullible few. Its a numbers game!

[QUOTE=Zing Uk]Has anyone else noticed the parking at Rattler is getting to be a pain in the ass? Let's hope the one last sane place for parking doesn go all Bur Dubai on us![/QUOTE]Well, when you take away 25% for some type of construction... that is DXB...

Sunday night, bored at home, headed out on a recce.

[b]Rattlesnake, 10:00 - 11:30, Sunday[/b]
Walked in, regretted it almost immediately:[list][*]35 dhs entrance fee. When I tried to use the piece of paper they'd handed me to buy a drink, found out that it WASN'T a drink ticket (guess I should have worn my glasses). No drinks included with your 35 dhs. At least at Cyclone (RIP), it was big and easy to get around. Just to spite the 'Snake, I'd like to see the Cyclone return, reducing the 'Snake to its former "glory" of over-the-hill wg's.

[*]M/F ratio was: 1/3 | 1/1, the first being M/F, the 2nd being M/stunners. It was a mini-Cyclone. Damn that o-dark hundred wakeup.[/list]All in all, maybe 10 punters total. Plenty of room to see.[list][*]Saw Miss A-lister, who had called me back 5 minutes after I'd booked her on Friday to cancel. Thanked her for the call. She thought I was being sarcastic so started to explain/apologize; I interrupted her to explain I was serious. The quick call saved me from a useless trip. We continued to chat, until, force of habit I guess, I felt compelled to tell her I was not going to pull tonight. Now it was her turn to interrupt me: we were friends; she knew if I was interested in some "up/down" entertainment, I'd ask. No need to state the negative.

[*]Watched a new PRC face walk by. Cute. With it being so sparse, easy to keep an eye on her, and we quickly made eye contact, exchanging smiles. She moved in my direction, but rather than coming over to talk, stopped across from me. I turned to go over and say hi; that way was blocked with the gauntlet of "greeters", so did a 270 to go the other way. As I turned, almost tripped over a pulling guard, laying a perfect block on me. Short little thing; hadn't even known she was there (Sporadic found that highly amusing). Stutter-stepped her, over to the new girl. Quickly got a phone number for future reference.

[*]Sporadic nudged me, "Check this out. Know her?" as a REAL cutie walked towards us. "No, I don't." She continued, closer, closer, until she stopped in front of me. "Why haven't you called me?" she asked. Gulp. QUICKLY trying to access the mental database, coming up blank. Then realized I hadn't lied to Sporadic; I didn't [i]know[/i] her. Just before start of Ramadan, had taken her phone number. However, rather than taking the time to enter it in the address book, had just given her a missed call to put the number on my "recent" list. However, procrastination, plus a cheap mobile with limited "history", resulted in the number disappearing into the ether before I put it in the address book. Rectified that mistake IMMEDIATELY for Miss Lost, with a promise to call sooner rather than later as she was as cute as I remembered. She moved on, and I continued with the recce.

[*]Over against the column, was that Smoker, Miss Bailout? Made eye contact; damn, was she smiling at me? Yes, indeed that was a big smile, definitely for me, a head nod inviting me over. That certainly was NOT expected after our "incident" on Thursday. Sensing that the climate just might be tropical, I went over to say hi. As I drew closer, I realized that Imperial's Miss 'Nice Body/Average Face' just might have a pull sooner rather than later. Given I was approaching Miss [u]Lost[/u], whose number I'd just taken, maybe it is time for permanently affixed glasses; seems I can't see details without them.

[*]I did see the REAL Smoker walking by. Maybe she'd missed me in the crowd. After all, there was 1 other guy there, and she did pass 5 feet away. As enquiring minds want to know, I did walk over for a climate check, asking "How are you?". "Fine. [u]EVERY[/u] day, [b]FINE[/b]." Who says you can't express sarcasm with limited english? I did notice that others in the vicinity were looking around, looking for the source of the blast of artic air. I shivered in the chill. But, life is short, so I leaned in and explained the problem was not the change, but the timing. Thawed a bit, she explaining how she wanted to maximize profit (hey, who doesn't), and I actually did admire her trying to help out Miss Coattails, who was glued to her side. Will have to try a ST sometime...[/list]Mr. Tutti-Fruti and his band still don't do anything for me. Left at 11:30, regretfully alone. Not many couples had slipped out the door. More punters had arrived, but it was certainly a buyer's market.

Summary:[list][*]Rattlesnake has some fine looking PRC's. Next blacks, a few CIS around.[*]Like Cyclone (RIP), grab some numbers while inside, to offset the entrance cost. Another night, easy to call her from the patio, no need to enter.[*]Enter the number into your address book now; don't wait till later.[/list]For me, the 'Snake is the best thing, at least for PRC's THIS side of the creek. YMMV

Decided to check out the Golden Triangle on Wednesday.

[b]Jockeys, 9:15 - 9:45, Wednesday[/b]
No entrance charge, nice atmosphere inside, not too crowded. No stunners, but some nice girl next door types around; well, if you live in Shanghai. Did note the over-the-hill, stumbling drunk CIS wg - certainly made a bookmark for her - as in to stay well away from. Saw MR1, a couple of other familiar faces. Couple of hard bodies with hard faces in the PRC contingent; large bodies with hard faces in the CIS contingent. No sign of the dazzling Kirgies; wonder if they're still around. Not too many couples slipping away into the night.

No glasses, so decided to walk over and get a phone number from a cute PRC in a nice outfit. Up close, she wasn't bad. She started, "How long you ... No, no; Where you come from?". We both laughed at the botched lines, she explaining that she'd been here only a week.

Status check complete, time to move on to...

[b]Imperial, 9:45 - 10:45, Wednesday[/b]
Weather nice enough for a short stoll. No entrance fee, and the outstretched staff palms kept to a minimum. Inside, sparse. Looked like 8:45, not close to 10:00. Stayed that way while I was there. Mostly PRC's (they're everywhere, they're everywhere), blacks (including a few of the annoying type), the hardbitten CIS, with 1 exception - slender, nice ass, cute face CIS.

Spotted Miss CanDoYou - damn, she was looking very decent. What had I been thinking last weekend when I had gagged? Like I said, looking very favorable for Miss 'Nice Body/Average Face': seems I can't differentiate between TWO girls of similiar size/shape without said glasses. To eliminate confusion, got her phone number when she caught me looking at her, coming over for the job interview.

Speaking of Miss 'Nice Body/Average Face', there she was, confirming my deteriorating eye-sight; NICE outfit, face ABOVE average, at least sans glasses. No chance to grab a phone number; crowd so sparse, I didn't want to be mistaken for a lookie-lou collector. But with her style, should be easy to spot.

Several other nice faces, a few [i]known[/i]. Miss Cutie was missing (of course). What struck me the most was the lack of punters. Wg numbers down too, but nowhere near the punters. I had heard that every hotel room in dxb was booked; perhaps a number of delegates to whatever entertaining at home?

THEN, it hit me. End of the month; pockets empty, no "entertainment" cash. Will have to remember that NEXT month.

Again, no REAL stunners, but some nice ones around.

To complete the triangle...
[b]York, 10:45 - 11:15, Wednesday[/b]
Like Imperial, very sparse. A few CCG's (Cyclone Chorus Girls) around, but not the normal numbers. Business so bad, one a-lister who I've seen around for YEARS, actually stooped to talk to me, asking where my gf was. I was a bit baffled as I'd not had a "Yorkie" regular in a year. She "clarified", "You know, thin girl, short, long hair..." Oh, yea, that REALLY pinned it down. But then she continued, "ALWAYS smiling..." Of course; the CCG I'd pulled last Thursday. Bit of professional jealously there? Certainly a smile creates a better business atmosphere, but I will say that Miss A-Lister, even if she had a permanent scowl, would still not go home alone any night.

Other than a few potentials, not much around. The better looking ones looking bored, the York chorus skittering around, looking for any potential buyers. With the "no crowd", easy to move and see; just not that much to see. Live music has started again, but even live, it's just background for me. Given nothing compelling, headed home, waiting for the weekend.

Just as I was leaving, the girl I'd gotten the number from at Jockey's arrived, along with her reasonable sidekick. Going down the stairs, saw another familiar face, but couldn't place, coming up. Nice, but not nice enough to deter me from my set course.

Box (pun intended) Score:
'Snake: 6 stunners
Jockeys: 3 nice
Imperial: 5 nice
York: 2 nice

YMMV

Anyone had any experience at the Moscow Hotel?
I have searched and only found a few passing references.
Any reports gratefully received.

I was staying in orchid hotel near clock tower when I read the sign of moscow from while coming back from city center. Well the moment I read MOSCOW the first thing come to my mind was RUSSIAN. (CIS) inside the hotel there is a bar on the right where they will ask you 100 dhs on weekends but if you are planning to take the girl you should stay in the hotel its not much expensive.

Inside the bar there is few good gem to choose from but they will ask for 1500 straightway. And man they got attitude. Roam around and find someone to talk to but they'll rarely listen to offer below 1000dhs.

Overall m/f ratio is good and average is 6+.

[QUOTE=11Bravo]THEN, it hit me. End of the month; pockets empty, no "entertainment" cash. Will have to remember that NEXT month.[/QUOTE]I was explaining this very concept to Princess L only the other day who was commenting lack of customers. Saying that, her and her mates are still managing to avarage two ST's a night each from Rattler so can't be too bad for them and one in particular, lets just call her Miss Very-Well-Endowed-And-Happy-To-Show-Them (you know who I mean) makes a furtune from punters often getting $300 for ST even at sparse times of the month.

There I met Miss Y, and also some other nice stanis. Given the name I suppose you already realized that African, Filipinas and PRC will be a freebie :)

(OK, to avoid confusions, there are NO African, Filipinas nor PRCs) Only good old stanis. They come in the usual flavors, slim nice and young, and T42. Last time there was more heavy armor than light infantry, but it changes over time.

If you like guys with tattoos that is also possible :)

Weird place, it is a nice family hotel that happens to house a bar with a very familiar business.

Enjoy the place!

Hi there,

just to add to Cons Report, with 1oo Arab Dollar enterance fee it will never belong to my favourite spots. Lot of those nice young and heavily styled girls.

Found a lot sexy, but only few attractive to me, as it reminds you really about the business. If you are looking for a nice girl from next door - certainly the wrong place.

Drinks are reasonably priced and it is not so dark, thus you can see what you get.

A while ago someone looked for a place with lesser smoke - well guess they somke at Moscow hotel as much as anywhere, but seemingly they have an excellent aircon.

What I enjoyed is starting at Kubu Bar at SAS Radisson, at least you get used to the rates, and around one a move to Moscow hotel, as this is the time with a significant inflow from other ressorts.

And if you get despaerate at Moscow you may escape to Broadway in walking distance.

Greetings and hope it helps,

Tom

Thanks for the updates fellas.

We will give it a spin mob-handed and see if we can thaw a little of that CIS arctic cirle attitude with something other than money, at first anyway.
I know ,I know, but I am an eternal optimist, and the other venues are only a hop, skip and smelly-cab-ride-ith-a-howling-wheel-bearing ride away

FR to follow in December.

[QUOTE=Zing Uk]... and one in particular, lets just call her Miss Very-Well-Endowed-And-Happy-To-Show-Them (you know who I mean) [/QUOTE]I can think of several who could go by that name...

[QUOTE=Zing Uk]Saying that, her and her mates are still managing to avarage two ST's a night each from Rattler[/quote]Seems the cartel ST rate, at least what I've been quoted, is 500 (expensive, but when it's 1 shot - ridiculous). 500 * 2... Easy to understand why 500 LT doesn't fly very far, and even 600, 700 can fail if it's early and the 1st ST has not been completed. Certainly that was the (ex) Miss Thursdays's rationale - she made no bones about it.

[QUOTE=Zing Uk]...makes a furtune from punters often getting $300 for ST even at sparse times of the month[/QUOTE]Advantage to having western businessmen your clientele of choice - on expenses and no cash flow problems.

Please share the cell numbers of the girls you have in Dubai.

Finnegans has more and more WGs nowadays (but still less than 10 at any given time, all staying low-key at the bar or the dark lounge area near the entrance). I flirted with an especially nice and tall Chinese girl. Alas, no opportunity to take home a girl last night.

Following recent rumors that Trilogy is becoming a 'mixed' place rather than a 'regular' nightclub (i.e., a reasonable percentage of WGs), I decided to check it out last night on the way home from Finnegans around 1:00am. Being a Thursday night, there was a long queue of young and trendies, many being refused entry for unknown reasons. I walked to the front of the queue to ask about entry price, and they were happy to let me straight in - for 120 DH, or 160DH for access to the the VIP rooftop area - no drinks included.

I said no thanks, and walked downstairs to Jambar, where I've been with friends before. Usually no WGs. No entry fee, great band (not Filipino) and it was absolutely packed. There were a few classily-dressed WGs of the usual nationalities. If you think places like Rattler are crowded on a Thursday night, you aint seen nothing yet - very difficult to move. There were also a lot of single young women in pairs and groups drinking and dancing away and looking for fun. No intention of picking up, so I had my drink then continued the journey home.

I had decided not to join a few pals at Rattler, guessing it would be same-same, deciding to check out Trilogy instead. One of them called me from Rattler while I was in Jambar, saying I'd made the right decision, as sure enough, it was same as usual on a Thursday night - crowded, too many guys, so-so selection of girls.

Trilogy and Jambar may still be worth checking out earlier on a week night.

The girls at the moscow had a much better attitude than the ones in Regal... at least that is what I remember.
Too busy to go mongering with my PA staying at my place until she finds her own.
