Caracas info
Exchange rate on open market more like 2500-2800 per USD. Very difficult to exchange CDN$ so bring USD! And bring lots of cash cuz official rate is about 1600/USD. So if you use debit card/ATM/VISA you get official rate.
I know all about sexycaracas. It is a complete rip-off!!! The average salary in Venezuela is about $300-$500/month so these girls charging $100/hr is a joke. Your best bet is to just check out the local strip clubs. Every girl in there is available for take-out. Usually charge $200 for the entire night and 1/2 of that goes to the club. Picking up girls in Caracas is easy as pie. Escort scene is a last resort. But believe me, once there calling an agency will be the last thing you need. If you are presentable, dress decently, and speak a little Spanish, you will be in paradise. I can not stress enough that you learn some Spanish as most girls down there do not speak it at all. Women are by far the hottest in the world. Colombia comes in a close 2nd.
Here is my Caracas file. Most of this was cut-and-paste from sources on the internet and not my personal experiences. Feel free to PM me if you need more info.
HOTELS
Hotel Paseo Las Mercedes
Hotel El Cid Caracas
Hotel Shelter Suites
Hotel Caracas Cumberland
Good recommendations are the Embassy Suite hotel in Caracas, girl friendly and not too expensive, the Marriott, more expensive and lastly, the Eurobuilding and/or the Tamanaco. Avoid the Hilton at all costs as it is in a very unsafe part of town. The Melia is in a "red light zone" which has its ups and downs, but, IMHO, is not a comparable choice to the other hotels mentioned. "Inexpensive" hotels for your consideration may be 1) Best Western, 2) Paseo las Mercedes, 3) Continental Altamira, 4) Hotel Tampa and 5) Hotel Presidente. I rate these in order of safety and being in a relatively "decent" part of town
CLUBS
Divas nightclub. The place is two blocks from Plaza Miraflores and in a nice office building. You walk down from the first floor and enter the place through bank vault. The place is medium size and there were around 40 girls on a Tuesday night. The girls ranged from 6 to solid 10s. The establishment wanted 400, 000Bs for take-out. I always get cel numbers to hook up later
Saxon nightclub
San Ignacio contains two tower blocks, a four story concourse, and has many bars and cafes on its north and south faces
Two good places to start are SUKA and Whiskey Bar. Suka was created in the Buddha Bar image and transitions from lounge to house as the evening progresses. Lots of very hot women aged 21-35 most evenings, including local fashion models and actresses. The ratio can be ridiculously favorable until about 11 when guys start pouring in. Still, the place is a lot of fun until 3 or so.
WHISKEY BAR is ridiculously pretentious, but finding a piece of ass is a lot easier there. No beer served, so take it slow or prepare to get hammered. The music is mostly 80’s rock, blaring louder than it should in a meat market. The women have hungry eyes, so even the most obtuse guys can read them. They’re generally hungry for boyfriends
When it’s time to move on, check out a new place on Nivel Chaguaramos (the second level) called LI BAR. It is unique in San Ignacio in that I’ve seen pro’s subtly plying their trade there. Most were 6-8, but two were 9+ and looked expensive. The crowd is youngish and the music is the standard salsa/rock/electronic mix
Two levels above Li Bar is VINTAGE, mostly early 20’s to early 30’s. A lot of very hot, very approachable women, with better odds than Suka. Standard mix of music
An interesting little spot, tucked away in the back, one level below Vintage, is BACKSTAGE, a gay bar. The reason it is interesting is that it attracts top Venezuelan models and actresses, who go because they don’t get hassled by guys (much). Hats off to anyone who can get anything going there, I only know one guy who has. Still, stop in for ½ hour between 2 and 3 to see some truly amazing talent. Inside, the music is house and trance
I recommended wandering around CC Sambil and CC El Recreo. CC SANTA FE is smaller, but is at the center of several muc neighborhoods. It has a gym on the top floor that is unreal.
The cafes at CC SAN IGNACIO and El TOLON are great for happy hour. El Tolon also has a half dozen posh bars and restaurants hidden away on the 5th floor, which get busy after work until 1 or 2, but the mall has nothing open late.
ATLANTIQUE and NEWS CAFE, two blocks east of Plaza Francia in Altamira, are stylish places to get the evening started
MALABAR in Las Mercedes is another great date spot
The bars in the steak houses of Las Mercedes are literally meat markets for women in their 30’s and 40’s. TERRAZZA attracts the best. Go early in the evening.
Ever find yourself womanless or chemically unable to sleep at 5 a.m.? There are alternatives to going home and jerking off: after-hours clubs. These clubs cater to working women who want to wind down after a hard day's night. Some of the girls are looking to pick up a little business, some just want to dance and have fun with their friends, and a few are willing to go home with you for free. Don't be offended if you get the brush off. After-hours clubs are also great places to arrange to meet girls from strip clubs if you want to avoid the bar fine. Men pay a cover of Bs.10,000 or Bs.20,000, but there are no bar fines. The clubs typically open at 3 a.m., but don't get going until after 5, when the strip clubs close. They're usually open until noon or later.
The best thing going now is The Box. Located on Avenida Casanova, very close to Saxo and Magnifique, it is "underground" and has no sign, but is identifiable by the small crowd around the door. One enters through a meter-high gap in a store-front shutter. Can you say fire trap? As long as you can live with non-stop throbbing Trance, the interior is alright. The crowd is rough, and there is a lot of coke snorting in the bathroom, but I've been there many times and never been hassled
Farther down Avenida Casanova is Phenecia (or is it Fenecia?). It has a proper front door, but the favorable comparisons with The Box end there. Same throbbing Trance, but the crowd is very rough. There are a lot of male as well as female prostitutes. While drug use at the Box is scattered and seems recreational, it is desperate at Fenecia. Someone slipped a friend of mine a mickey
Shopping malls are a great place to start. I recommend Centro Comercial El Recreo or CC Sambil. You’ll see a wide variety of shapes, sizes, ages, and social classes in both. Caraquenas are exceptionally hot and sexy, and they like to show it when they shop. Sales girls and customers are easy to approach. CC Santa Fe, El Tolon, and Paseo Las Mercedes are also worthwhile, but are smaller and generally limited to higher classes. You can also stroll down la Sabana Grande, a walking street filled with shops, cafes, and street vendors. It’s become shabby, so don’t stay alone after the vendors shut down and don’t walk west of Plaza Venezuela
Sitting at a café in Sabana Grande watching the talent walk by can be a pleasure. Safer after 9 or so are the sidewalk bars in Las Mercedes: La Cueva del Oso, Wassup, and Trenchtown
If you’re an electronica fan, try Elmo in Las Mercedes, just around the corner from Texaco. The crowd is young and a little druggy. Not a great spot for chicas, but alright on a good night
I will say the Loft and Vintage have hands down the hottest girls in Caracas, and they were very friendly as well. Its not surprising considering that everyone there was high on Extasy and Coke as I was offered no less than 3 times by some of these chicks.
1. Angelus – enormous for a strip joint, it features five dance stages on three levels, with a total of seven poles. Bar fines (“bottles of champagne”) are on the high side. The barmen will ask for as much as Bs. 200k per girl, but try to get it down to Bs. 120k. They’ll offer you different levels of champagne, but take the cheapest. Once the girls are out, they’re out. I usually pay the girls for two hours, because they’ll often settle in for the night, especially if they don’t have kids. This runs up to Bs. 200k depending on the girl.
p.s. ever been in Canagua?? it's right there by Angelus at non Angelus prices and without the massive silicone.
2. Divas – I wrote extensively about Divas in a prior posting. While the girls are better on average than Angelus, the artsy show, small size of the club, and outrageous prices don’t measure up.
If money is not an issue, then Diva’s is the place to go, especially if you don’t want to bring a girl home or hassle with love hotels. If you’d rather take a girl home, the cost runs much higher than other clubs: $150 bar-fine per girl if you’re lucky, more likely $200. This compares with $60 or less at other clubs. (I think in terms of the Bs.2,500 black market rate.)
3. Saxo – To be fair, I’ve only gone to Saxo in the wee hours, when things are winding down. It’s second in size to Angelus (and has the same owner), but with only one level I can’t see the shows being nearly as good. I’ve always found a chica worth leaving with though, at prices similar to Angelus
4. Magnifique – The most down-market of the five listed here, you can nonetheless always find a pearl or two. Prices are a bit lower than Angelus. It’s the smallest and most crowded club listed here, sometimes hard to find a seat. The show is run-of-the-mill. It’s around the corner from Saxo, and the doorman will also find you a safe cab
