Staying near DFW without a car.
Traveling to Dallas, staying near the airport without a vehicle. I can take a cab, seems like Emerald is the place to go, however I don't want to leave a cab waiting for me out front. Is there a nice safe strip mall with a starbucks or something where I can get dropped off and then walk the rest? I expect it will be a daytime or early evening visit.
Visiting Dallas-Ft. Worth
Visiting from Chicago next week. I've searched through the archives, and see the places to be. What is the going rates in this area? Back home it's between 1.6 and $$ at AMP's. Are there any EMP's in the area?
Answers to a few Questions
One thing I'd like to point out to the out of towners asking questions. When you go to the AMP, you should not directly ask for a massage as some of these places are no longer licensed for massages. Just say you'd like a one hour (or 30 minute) session. They'll understand you and won't assume its your first time there.
I don't live in Dallas but I'll try to answer a few questions:
R2D2: You don't specify where downtown you are staying. But Hawaii Spa should be close to you and it is considered one of the better AMPs in Dallas.
Perfectworld40: The closest places to be dropped off for Emerald AMPs are 2 gas stations, both at the corner of Royal and Emerald. It's a 2-3 minute walk from there to a bunch of AMPs. The area is safe to walk during the day and early evening. Could you rent a car at DFW? It should be cheaper than taking taxis, especially if you rent on the weekend. Why not ask the AMP if they'll call a taxi for you when you are done? I'm sure they'll be glad to do it.
The Icon: Dallas is slightly cheaper than Chicago. $ gets FS at most places. That is for the tip only, I'm not including the entrance fee.
Good luck guys and let us know where you visited. FWIW my favorite AMPs are Nancho (1 block west of Emerald on Royal), Pink's on Northwest Highway, and Hawaii Spa at 2006 Market Center Blvd (214) 651-1818.
My first bad review of Pink.
Well I think it finaly has happened. I think Pink has gone the way of other great AMP's in the past and gotten primadana.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Me and a buddy went last night. We got there about 8:00. I was met at the door by "Yu Me", a girl who has given me pretty good service before. My buddy was led back by the woofer who's always there when I go in. He wanted a line up and was refused! He settled on the woofer though which is something I wouldn't have done. Even Mama gave him the run around when he asked to speak with her. In a situation like that I would have just turned around and walked out. As for my experience, I was rushed, which always pisses me off. I was so put off that I didn't even get to finish properly! After the bad experience with Yu Me, My buddy reported the same experience with the rotweiler who's always there. I told him that he should have told me about what was happening to him so that we could go someplace else. All and all Pink's seems to have done the inevitible, gone way up in "tude" and gone way down in service. I think that it will be a long time before I go back there. On an even sadder note for you guys who are "Seven" fans, two different girls said she no longer worked there. She may have gone "private". Check the back page.;)
Pink Still Good, Clean, & Satifying
Viited PINK yesterday. I am visiting from Chi-town and have not been able to find a place with a similar quality as what we have in the mid-West (ala apartment scene, Peking Spa.). PINK was a very pleasant surprise. I had been to the Emerald places and found them just fair. I visited PINK in the early afternoon. The woman that answered the door was actually a 9 in looks and body so a line up was not necessary. Her name was Sharon. I took one hour for. 6 with $. 4 for tip. (Kinda expensive compared to chi-town). She is half Japanese/Korean. She refused to provide her Japanese/Korean names out of respect for her parents she said.
The shower was perfunctory, but the masssage was good. Sharon gave a good deep tissue massage the likes of which I have not had in many moons. The only draw back to Sharon is that she talked too much. She admitted later that she likes to talk to her clients a bit so that she feels more comfortable and willing to perform later.
The performance was outstanding. After cg and dg I was done for. Overall a very pleasurable experience. I look forward to going to PINK again and trying Bellagio as well.
