If you stay there the fee is $25 which was what I paid in November, I don't know however where these $99 rooms are, the singles are $125, the suites $200+

If I got a single at $99, I'd happily pay $45, but I wouldn't do duplas or multiple girls in the same day

I think I will drop him an e-mail and ask, the room that I requested was one of the ones with the brick wall, it was confirmed at $99 which is a great rate but actually I would rather pay $125 with a $20-25 session fee. I will let everyone know what goes on.

If anyone has heard of the new rate, please let me know.

Yes please report back, maybe rates have dropped on the rooms, I still haven't booked a room for my 2 days in Feb so being kept up to date on HLH would be appreciated

I just received the following e-mail from Eduardo:

"The next year we will have new room rates so if you are a CRTicas member you will pay $99.00+tax for the room but the girl will cost $45.00 per hour, now, if you want to pay only $25.00 for the girl you can take one of the suites and then pay $25.00 per girl. The regular session for a girl is $55.00.

If you have any question please let me know it."

I asked him about the new rates for the suites to see if that has changed.

That makes sense, drop the room rates and put more money in the girls hands. they get nothing for the room when you stay there.

So before a full day would cost me $125 room + $25 1st girl and usually $25 for the 2nd girl so a day would cost me $175

No with a room rate of $99, the same 2 girls now cost $90 for a cost on the day of $189

ya ya, it's more money but if the girl keeps the money I'm Ok with that. I'd tip less as well, plus I wouldn't feel bad about bringing in take out from SL or HDR anymore

Looks like the four suites will keep the $25/girl, but the new rooms will drop to $99 with the increase to $45/girl.

Are the girls really going to get the whole $45?? I thought they got $25 of the regular $55 rate?

The 10% CRT discount only applies to room and food and bar, right?

It looks like the suite rate is unchanged. Here is the confirmation that I received from Eduardo.

"The rate for the suite is $195.00+tax one person and $250.00+tax for two people. The session with the girls is $25.00 per girl if you rent the suite."

Since I am without a wingman I am going to opt for the $99 room. I hope to catch up with some of you all during my trip Jan 9 - 12.

It would be nice if there was a chica discound for members not stayig there but 10% off of 55.00 the resident mathaticians I hope I am correct is $5.50 do all members get a bar discount ? Hear the talent is good!!! Some of use are trying to streach the buck theses days I have never been to HLH but will stop in on next trip Allways nice to know the low down of a place one has never visited

Thanks for the intel from Eddie, Nick. My guess is everything will be up for negotiation if the year stays crappy!

Nh...the lineup there is good when its good. I know that isnt specific, but most, if not all mp's are strictly YMMV based on time of day, day of week, number of chicas sessioning at any given time. BangBang has posted this many many times about the mp's. If it isn't good one day, dont give up and try a different time.

Or better yet, ask the source, Bang is THE man when it comes to MPs. He has forgotten more intel than I will ever know!

Was trying to get prices for a Jan/Feb trip, and nothing is apparent on the site. The availability chart suggests they should be very negotiable. It must be killing them to have this depression hit in less than a year after their renovation.

Sounds like you could make up the per-chica difference by going for a suite if you are doing multiples. That $25 is what was attractive.

Question is, do these lean times mean more/less, better/worse selection of the chicas there, or roaming the Gulch (DR, KL).

As far as I understand it, when the rate is $25 per girl (i.e for the suites), the girl keeps it all! The house doesn't take a cut of that. When the rate is $46 or $55, or whatever the non-discounted rate is, there is a split. It's close to 50/50, with the house getting a bit more.

So now that the rate went from $25 to $46, the girls will still not be making more money. But the house will, if you do more than 1 session per day. Here's an example using some rough numbers:

Before, the house made $125/day on the room only, and nothing on the $25 discounted sessions, no matter how many you did. (Plus, lost revenue on each hour that the girls spent up in the room and not working the bar.)

Now, the house makes $99 on the room, and (lets say roughly) $25 on each session. If you do 1 session, that's $124. If you do 2 sessions, that's $149. If 3, that's $174. I think 3 session hours is probably the average for most guys that stay there, since you may do a single and a double, or 3 singles per day.

How many people that stay there will only do 1 session per day.... Most will do 2 or more. And the house makes out great on the new structure because when the rate is $25, and a guy takes Karen and Pamela, for 3 hours to his room, the house makes NOTHING on the sessions. That's 6 hours that the house is losing revenue on. Now, they can work @ $46 or $55/hr each, whether in the room or the bar.

Times are tough, but the price is goin up for the more "active" mongers.

Thanks for the information. Just a suggestion, but for the non-CRT patrons, you might want to have a page or a link to your rack rates. I, for one, will not bother with a hotel site that does not offer at least rack rates without further inquiry. You might be missing some business.

Perhaps you can help with this question: If you stay there, is there any problem bringing in outside chicas? Any fees associated with this? Any time of day limitations when this is or is not allowed?

Also, I presume there is no problem if I come with a wingwoman to share the suite and the “Extra rentals.”

At the posted rates, it looks like the break-even for the suite, at $195, is 3 “Extra rentals” per day, against the Junior suite with Jacuzzi. Don't know if I am quite enticed, but certainly I will drop by to smoke a cigar. Your new space looks very nice, and I have to patronize our cigar-friendly establishments ever since they banned us from the HDR.
