I mentioned it to someone that lives there, he said they're as busy as ever and doubted it

Also not true, ironically.

He's retired there and been going for 27 years..... 🤷‍♂️

I guess it's perception on both parts unless one of you have access to the books, which I'm sure there are more than 1 set....

The rumor has existed for years. She must be tired, visiting once per year and then enjoying her earning in Europe. 🙄

Good to put rumors to rest.

I am puzzled about one thing, though.  In all the years and countless times I have visited there, the place has never had an interior painting despite the rooms looking rather shabby.  Despite the shabbiness, the sauna is likely clean.  

Given the above, I can understand why a rumor developed over the possibility that the sauna might not have a long future.

Monique in Rio planning to shut dow

Monik was last night at Club 117. I was introduced to her, and she was incredibly gracious and gorgeous. I hope those are just rumors. The lineup at Club 117 is still so hot. Maybe it’s because Point 202 has undergone so many renovations to the space? Point has added new towels and made some significant improvements to the suits. Anyway, we chatted for a while. She speaks some good English and Spanish, so we communicated in all three languages.

When I am there I am so distracted by the boys that I do not really pay attention to walls painting, but I am quite confident this is not entirely true. They have not gone through major renovations, like Pointe has, but I think they have done several decorative updates. 

I do not see the point of arguing whether or not 117 has had busier times than nowadays. I am just arrived, and I have to check this myself, but several locals tell me that while Pointe has only one busy day, of course Wednesday, 117 is quite busy everyday. Of course not as busy as Tuesdays, but I am told that they have a decent amount of hot boys any day of the week.

Also, I am just learning that now 202 is offering free cabins on Fridays. I still have to see that.

Junior might soon be the symbolic Rodolfo of Rio (only one sauna in a huge city). 

I hope not.  I didn't like Pointe my last visit (Fall 2025).

Would going to Rio’s 117 and Sao Paulo’s Lagoa at 9pm be a good idea?

It can't hurt. But the guys stopping in to make a little money on the way home will already be gone. You might be left with limited options of the more desperate flavor, or you can get lucky, it's a toss up but rarely in your favor that late. 

Why was Rudolfo's Lagoa almost empty this past weekend?
