I had to verify that Cascades dropped their joiner fees - I can confirm they are gone.
The clerk said I was allowed 20 women a night - I jokingly griped that I didn't want to pay extra for the 21st.
I stayed overnight at Cascades Thursday night and Friday night.
If I had made an online reservation, the charges would have been $40 for Thursday night and $50 for Friday night (higher weekend rates for Friday and Saturday nights).
But I didn't have a reservation. Rates without an online reservation are $5 more per night.
However I do have a Hong Kong VIP card, which allows me a 20% discount on the walk-in rates
Cascades this weekend used an 11.5 exchange rate, so I paid 410 pesos for Thursday instead of $36 (20% discount off $45).
I was supposed to pay 506 pesos for Friday night, instead of $44 (but in reality I got back 100 pesos plus $1.25US in change from 600 pesos and I can't figure out the desk clerk's math)
Since I received 14.13 pesos for each dollar this week from my bank, it cost me only around $29.75 for Thursday night's stay and around $35 fir Friday night.
The BGs and SGs were priceless...
yet they all seemed to accept offers.
