Shamrock Spa (used to be Minato Spa on Mission Gorge Rd.)
Hi mongers. I've been lurking here for awhile, getting lots of great information, and finally decided to post my own helpful hints. Hopefully the experience I had last night might save a few of you time and money.
I went to Shamrock Spa. Previously known as Minato. As I hadn't been to Minato in several months I can't say if the same girls are working under the new name (I doubt it. Turnover being what it is in this game), but the high prices are certainly still in effect. I really just wanted a nice rub with a happy ending. After a very nice massage from Sarah (early 30's, Korean, fair body), she flips me over and asks what I want. I ask for a hand job at which she tells me it's $100. Hmmm. Don't think so. As I'm pretty horny from a long day staring at hot women, I'm willing to go to $40. I offer $20, she says no. $30, same answer. $40. She says it's going to be $60 MINIMUM for a hand job. Needless to say, I took my 30 minute massage ($60 at the gate), thanked her and left.
All in all, not what I was going for. Not that it was a complete waste, though, as Sarah did give an amazingly thorough massage. Not at all the "5 minute, non-existent pressure, prelude to hand job" massage we've all grown used to. She did do an excellent job and if you're not really looking for extras but you do want to spend time with a good looking woman (I can't speak for the other girls. I didn't see them), and you'd be happy with just a massage, I say go for it.
Lemur
P.S. Given that a hand job was priced at $60, I didn't even consider asking what a BJ or FS would be (. Probably somewhere on par with the GNP of a third world nation).
