I went back to RIO after not having been there for several years. The facilities very still very well maintained and the pool / water area was a nice place to relax. I got the VIP membership for 90 MOP which lasts a year, which is a no-brainer if you plan to come back at least once. It provides a 300 discount on everything.

One thing I noticed this time to Rio is that the entrance fee for almost all of the saunas has gone up across the board. So if you just want to go in and chill in the sauna and decide if you want to choose a girl later, your sunk cost if much higher.

Prices (after 300 MOP discount):
Entrance: 1,036
Girls:
Vietnam: 2,340
Others: 2,728 and up

By comparison my previous visit (I think it was 2015 or 2016):
Entrance: 538
Small Service: 208
Girls: Starting from 1900

I really miss the fact that 538 could get you in and chill, regardless of if you picked the girl or not. Now with the 1036 entrance it feels like there is a very high pressure to pick a girl, or lose a high sunk cost.

Ended up picking 822 (China) for 3,088. She is 32 but I swear she looks like 26. Cantonese communications is fine, sweet and bubble personality. Natural B cups, pale skin.

Interestingly the Pappasan tried to sell me on #610, who was ridiculously prices at 3,888 but allows for two shots.

Despite the higher prices, still lots of customers on a Saturday night, showtime one hour apart, hard to choose with fierce competition from other customers.
Only two Viets, not good quality, I think a weekday should have less competition from customers.

Also, no sleeping rooms available on Saturday night, very difficult to sleep in main room with snoring, and chatty staff, and lights. Quite an international crowd, not just Chinese, some Japanese, some Europeans.

Overall spent 3,488 for one girl, one inner thigh, dinner and supper, and to open VIP membership on a night.
