I was lucky and booked the HDR less than a week in advance and got 6 nights over Halloween. I'm paying $55 for a regular room. Maybe I got lucky for I have heard this books up fast for Halloween. Let the party begin tonight. Can't wait to see all the chicas in costume.) My first visit and starting off with a great experience.)

Here is a recent email from DR pertaining to room rates:

Hope this helps

I'd make a decision based on the hotel, not the guest fee or the taxi cost - I think its a better experience at Sportsmans or HLH vs HDR - candidly, as long as you did not take a taxi directly out front of the HDR <always a really bad idea> the cab fare is going to cost you less thank the guest fee at HDR - if you stay at Sportsmans or HLH, you may find you need the HDR less than you thought

Actually IMO Sportsman's Lodge and Mona Lisa are probably the best two CRT friendly locations available at this moment in time. All in for $56 at the Mona Lisa and Chicas are starting to realize it as a place to hang out. No Chica fee!

How are you getting that rate? It appears that introductory rate is gone as their website lists $69.95 for their lowest priced room. I would have liked to try out the place on my last visit but never even got a reply to my message about making a reservation.

The rate may be gone! I was there 3 weeks ago. It would not hurt to ask! They have been about 40% booked. Use some negotiation skills something is better than nothing. HLH had a special with 30 min session for $66. I do not know if they are still running it. The Dry season is almost over and should be a renters market.

Will be at Mona Lisa soon. Hope the chicas are plentiful!

Yes, we are still running that special. Any room $80 or over, you will get 1 hour. $79 or below, 30 minutes.

The big advantage of the DR is the large choice of chicas. A friend who loves the variety like to stay near the hottest action (the DR) and finds he can often bargain a price based on the following: "baby I'm upstairs (or even at the Sleep Inn which he actually likes more) we'll have a good time and you can be back in 20 minutes , so I'll give you $60." He gets takers all the time. Yes, I know the chica fee is what $30 at the Sleep Inn.

The chica fee is $35 at Sleep Inn. You do get a nice buffet breakfast and free airport shuttle, and the hotel is very quiet and modern. But it's just not worth that fee, imo.
