Lido, Moulin Rouge, etc.: Areas to AVOID
  • Tip Rating:
  • The streets surrounding the Lido and the Moulin Rouge are full of 'clubs' that feature hawkers to get you into the 'club'. What you need to know and what you aren't told until you are inside is that there is a 1 drink minimum. This doesn't sound to bad until you find out that a very weak Vodka Tonic cost 80USD. A Bourbon and Coke (not the good stuff, either) is 85USD. What a shock we had when we found out. You can't just get up and leave, either. They have 'bouncers' to prevent this. BE CAREFUL!

    At Least Do This: There is no way. Just don't go!
    Alternative: If you go to the Lido or to Moulin Rouge it's great! Just avoid the surrounding streets.
