Members Gotti Posted March 9, 2011 Members Posted March 9, 2011 A couple of Brazilian saunas recently increased the admission fees. São Paulo´s Lagoa is now R$40.00 weekdays, R$50.00 weekends. Rio´s Point 202 is now R$40.00 every day of the week (up from R$35.00). Club 117 so far remains the same (R$35.00 every day). The dollar in the meantime keeps going down: R$1.64 is the latest quote. Point 202 at least has some facility improvements: A new bar-lounge on the third floor with a smokers section. The bar is actually bigger and better than the one on the main floor and is a nice spot to relax and talk with the boys. Been there recently and I think the new lounge is helping the improve the vibe of the place. Hopefully it will attract more talent, which 202 badly needs. Lagoa has more bad news: Boys also have to pay more to work there, now they charge them R$15.00 to get in (before was R$10.00-a 50% increase!) which probably will make them increase their fees as well. Been there on a Thursday night, 1 week before Carnival and it was a so-so night. What hasn´t changed: The hottest boys still have that unbearable "Lagoa´s attitude". Quote
Members mvan1 Posted March 9, 2011 Members Posted March 9, 2011 Actually, the R$50 is for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Other days are $40.00. Yes, the garotos (except "special ones" that Rudolfo likes who get in for free) now pay $R15. When you consider that the garotos pay their fare (metro, motobike, omnibus or car) plus the R$15, many of the garotos will not be able to afford to go to Lagoa. This has to have a negative effect on the number of garotos at Lagoa. The good side is that the higher entrance fees should make Fragata's business pick up with more garotos. You have to wonder what could have possessed Lagoa to raise its entrance fees to the present rates. Sextas, Sábados, Domingos e feriados R$ 50,00 Demais dias R$ 40,00 Aceitamos todos os cartões de crédito e débito, e dinheiro (somente reais) Quote
Members ihpguy Posted March 9, 2011 Members Posted March 9, 2011 Meio Mundo is still 35Reais Monday through Saturday. The cheap cabines are free, but they then charge for the sheet and the kit. If you get the smaller rooms for 15 or 20Reais, the sheet and kit are included. Almost all of the boys will settle for 60Reais including gozando/cumming as this will include their entry. Most will even go upstairs for 50Reais without cumming. Last week I got their early and one offered me a programa for only 40Reais. I wasn't even bargaining. Just waiting to meet a friend from the States and killing a bit of time. So ....depends. Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Living in Thailand, I get real bargains on guys. The cost of the sauna, the room, etc all add to the price. I want to live in Brazil for a year but at these prices I can only see going to the saunas two or three times a week. Quote
Members ihpguy Posted March 10, 2011 Members Posted March 10, 2011 Come stay in my neck of the woods. The guys are available for a few(2-3)beers or a maximum of 30Reais. It depends on where your interests and tastes lie. Quote

It depends on where your interests and tastes lie. I have been looking for a long term lease apartment in Rio, Sao Paulo or Porto Alegre. It is hard to find in Brazil if you are not from there. When I was in Sao Paulo recently, all apartments I looked at were minus any furniture and appliances. What is the trick? Quote
