I personally would not stay in a hotel where I had to pay to bring in a guest.. I have stayed at nice hotels outside the gulch and never had any issues bringing any ladies, as long as they dress appropriately. I used to stay at Mona Lisa (Taormina) back when Guy Grand was around, but if they are going to charge me to bring a friend.. screw them!
I never understood the obsession with this trivial issue. If you're a testosterone laden manly man, and bringing over 4 women to your room daily, good for you, and yea, then it adds up.
I look at it this way, with airfare, general hotel costs, dining out, misc. expenses of living away from home, it usually added up to $1,000 to $1,500 for me to stay 5 days or so per visit, before I paid any companionship expenses, so I'm supposed to get worked up over an $11 visitor fee?
When I stayed at the HDR back in the ancient days, my room was generally $60 to $70 a night, and many of the nicer competing hotels with no visitor fee were in the $100 a night range, I guess guys staying there were bragging they had no visitor fee, lol.
Another odd proclivity I noticed with some guys on vaca is they would approach an absolute stunner who would agree to all their requests and ask $100, many wouldn't budge over $80 and the stunner walked. When I was vacationing and spending big, and time and opportunity was the issue, I always found that measly extra $20 was always well worth every penny. So here we have guys who spent thousands to get here and now they're haggling with hoz over $20, never made sense to me.
Times are different now, I now live here and have a smaller retirement income to live off of, I have time to find the bargains and it's kind of fun, my current fave delivers an overnight stay and multiple pops for a meager cien, and I can locate encounters with hotties for as low as $40 to $50 all day and all night. My advice to tourist mongers spending big to get here and obsessed with holding on to your chicken feed, let loose of your loot, Ebenezer...time is your enemy here...
