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
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.
