I know a lot of you don't like the RH in Van Nuys but let me tell you, I had a blast there last week.

I went on a Monday and met up with a hot guy , a bottom , that I had been with before. I was also meeting someone that had e mailed me and we had spoken on the phone.

It started in the sauna with a blowjob and a little JO with a guy sitting next to me. Soon enough we had an audience and I invited everyone to my room.

We were six in the room with the door open. I was on my back getting head with my buddy sitting on me while I licked his ass. His ass is a little bubble butt that I have had the pleasure of fucking a few times before and I love the taste of it as he always rubs some sweet smelling cream on it that makes it taste good.

Another guy was standing beside me alongside my head stroking his cock while a hot tatooed stud was taking it up the ass by a guy standing next to the guy standing next to me.

All the while there were a few guys looking in the door. I came in a short while due to my suckers hot mouth and unfortunately I had to leave but man oh man it was hot.

If anyone who was there reads this please post your thoughts about doing it again.

I'll be there next week, probably Teusday afternoon.

I used to hit the ROMAN HOLIDAY - Van Nuys maybe once every 12 to 18 months - usually if I had some appointment or obligation
in or near the valley.

My last 2 visits I didn't think anything was going to be happening for me .... then "poof"- somebody my type finally popped into the club. Crowd had been a variety of guys in the past but was quite the retirees my last 2 stops with me 20-30 years younger than the majority.

I know any cruising is "hit-or-miss" - my last 2 visits to Van Nuys were almost a "miss".

Glad you had a "good time". Anyone else have a recent report?

The club is at 14435 Victory Blvd - that's at Van Nuys Blvd - in Van Nuys. $22 for a private room - then lockers not available on weekends but had been discounted Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I went recently and it seemed like there were lots of sad, old and out of shape guys and a few homeless men sleeping it off. One sketchy guy with missing teeth was selling meth out of his room, that was pretty.

My bf went a few weeks ago at night. He said that an old drunk mexican was pissing all over the carpet, staff couldn't care less.
We won't be back.

I've only been the the Roman Hoilday once myself, and yes it was the one in Van Nuys. Though I will admit that it wasn't my cup of tea as I prefer clubs like the old MB or the Melrose Spa. I do have to admit that the place was clean and the staff was very friendly. I'm left wondering if anyone bothered to mention to the staff that an old drunk mexican was pissing all over the carpet, or one sketchy guy with missing teeth was selling meth out of his room.

Hey, you go there, if the staff doesn't know wahts going on then they can't do anything. If the staff kept running around checking on things, then you'd bitch that just as you were getting it on, someone checked to make sure you weren't peeien on the carpet or dealing drugs out of the place.

Before you post in public about how bad a place was on you're one visit, please take the time to let the staff know what you did like or didn't like about the place.

Places like the Roman Holiday, MB Club, Melrose Spa are starting to slowly disappear. I personally regret not having enjoyed my bi-sexuality more before things like AIDS came about. From what I've read and seen (but turned a blind eye to), used to be a really rip-roaring time. Not just here in the various burbs that make up L.A., places back east that I happened to chatch on the tale end but don't exist anymore.

I guess my purpose of this lone rant is to ask...please stop trying to take business away from any gay friendly and/or orientedplace. If something didn't agree with you on a visit, let the staff know!! I'm sure they'd rather deal with it then lose business. And Lord knows we can't afford to lose anymore gay gathering places like the R.H., M.B., Holiwood Spa, Ect.

Thank you
Phillip

P.S. and just cause I'm not totally innocent, I realize that the person that posted to bad review about the R.H. might simply be a str8, homophobe that justs wants to try and run a place down, hoping that they will either close or be investigated that might scare business away.

I stopped by RH last Tuesday afternoon and had a great time. Place was very clean and staff was friendly - but not intrusive. Place was busy but not crowded. Age skewed 80-20 to the 50+. I could be mistaken - people seem a lot younger to me than they did a few years ago.

I was there for some M2M and not to get matched up at the deepest level, like on eharmony. Mission accomplished.

I think bi-phill has a good point - or should I say a good grasp of the situation.

I had encountered a variety of age ranges and types on my previous visits to the ROMAN HOLIDAY - Van Nuys. Don't think it would have accomplished much by telling the staff that I wasn't into the "Senior Citizen" crowd on my last two visits, not much they could control on who comes in to pay. Afterall, it is the cash register to them.

These senior men had every right to be there than anyone else. I just prefer to have sex with guys in their 20s, 30s, 40s .... not 60s, 70s, and 80s. A few of these older men had had strokes and walked with paralysis ...even two of them with assistance from canes. Personally not the type of men I like to have sex with. My option to go to the club again or not.

At any baths, an attendant is sent to a room as soon it is vacant to clean it up. He strips the sheet off the bed and the pillow case off the pillow .... wipes down the mattress with cleaner. Picks up any trash left and checks the waste basket ... takes the dirty sheet/trash away ...and then comes back with clean sheet/pillow case. It is this person who is "the eyes" for the club, as he is the one constantly walking the halls, he is the one who should notice a cutomer pissing in the halls or some toothless person selling crack out of a room.

My visits to ROMAN HOLIDAY - Van Nuys were few-and-far-between. After my last two visits (which were either on Friday or Saturday evenings when baths are traditionally busy) were almost a bust. Sort of doesn't want to make me shell out another $22. I asked for someone else's report on the club, as maybe the club had improved since my last 2 visits. CamnMiguel called it on how his BF saw it on his visit and then Miguel's own experience.

I still find a varierty of guys that go to the ROMAN HOLIDAY - Venice Blvd location. That is at 12814 Venice Blvd at Beethoven.
Club is between the 405 Freeway and Lincoln Blvd. Same $22 for a room .... lockers Mon-Thurs, with locker special on Tues & Wed.
Below is the Venice Blvd club.

Can you believe that the Van Nuys roman holiday plays 70's disco from a commercial fm radio station?? I totally agree with cubmaster's assessment of this joint and wouldn't recomend it to my worst enemy! It puzzles me why he always promotes & defends this place claiming that he seldom even goes there??

A much better choice is the north hollywood spa(formerly known as the compound) located on vineland near burbank blvd. Clientele is substantially younger and fewer super obese types!!

Wasn't defending VAN NUYS .... hated my last two visits. THOUGH HAD VERY GOOD VISITS PRIOR TO THAT.

If you read what I said, I would go to the Van Nuys location maybe once in a year to a year & a half. So in the last 3 years I have been there two times .... ANYONE WITH ANY LOGIC WOULD REFER TO THAT AS SELDOM. I seldom go to the Van Nuys location, so that is a true statement, twice in the last 3 years. It was a senior crowd my last 2 stops.

WEBSTER definition- "seldom: in few instances: rarely, infrequently" ... then used in a sentence, "My visits to the ROMAN HOLIDAY - Van Nuys are in few instances, rarely, and infrequently."

Then in the 2nd posting to the topic I asked if anyone else had been there recently as for an update.

I do hit the Venice Blvd location 3 to 4 times per year. Much more variety of guys there than at the Van Nuys location.

well of course my bf told the attendent that the guy was pissing in the hall. the attendent didn't speak english and grudgingly came out from the counter to throw a towel on the spot and tell my bf not to make trouble. What?

I mentioned to the desk guy that someone was selling meth and they told me that I had no proof and they don't allow that in the club. HUH? the guy offered to sell me some. the attendent is a dumass.

FYI both incidents were after 10 at nite. I guess the place changes from a sparkle clean fabulous club to a pit at 10pm. yeah, thats it.

BTW unlike the other posters, I don't work for the club.

I don't work for or own the clubs either.
--------------------------------------------------

Luckily right at the end of my 2 last visits to Van Nuys "my type" finally checked in and I had a good time. If that wouldn't have happened I would have left the club without having had an encounter. The majority of the customers were senior citizens -60s, 70s, and 80s. I, too, have no clue why they play radio stations as opposed to commercial-free satelite. If I worked or owned the club that would be the first change I would make.

My few visits to the Venice Blvd location still does have a variety of age ranges and types. It is the ONLY venue like that on the westside of Los Angeles, so one has to "make do" what there is.
No "cruising-pattern" with too many dead-end hallways, lousy sound system. But if someone knows of another baths on the westside of LA, by all means please let the rest of us know. I know there is the 1350 CLUB but that to the south and it is located in crime-riddle Wilmington, I would never go into Wilmington at night.

The 2 ROMAN HOLIDAYS locations are the only 2 clubs in Los Angeles that don't ask for your ID, in which the other clubs will copy all your personal information from your ID onto their computers. You can just scribble any name onto the registration card at the ROMAN HOLIDAY. For those 2 reasons I believe the ROMAN HOLIDAY gets more straight/closeted/married/curious/bi types than the other clubs. And I have encountered such at the Venice Blvd location.

I go on occasion in the afternoon and take advantage of their $10 locker days on Tue and Wed. Being in my 50`s I prefer younger but there are all ages that go and best of all no attitude prevails. There can be some fun group times in the steamroom and sauna.
Think I`ll go tomorrow afternoon.

My first visit to RH in Van Nuys was on a Tuesday afternoon this past July. I went there mostly to check out the place, relax, and take advantage of $10 locker day. At first, I was surprised with the number of people there of various age. NOT impressed with most men there. Disappointed that the place was quite small. Staff were as expected at any bathhouse...COLD (not unfriendly or rude) but just COLD attitude. Wouldn't blame them, I wouldn't work at those places myself!
I was there for 4 hours and on that last hour...boy did I meet one hell of a nice looking Latin guy. This latin guy was in his 30's, with nice uncut cock. I met him in the sauna where I stroked his cock and began sucking it. I got into it that I began sucking his toes as well. BELIEVE me! This guy was hot!
After messing around with the latin guy. I met up with an above average white guy, who took me to his room and fucked me.
I would say that I would have had sex with at least 4 of the guys in that bathhouse that afternoon. Only the 4 were from just above average looking to hot looking.
I just might think about going tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday).
Note: if I go, my stats are 32 y/o, 5'7", 155#, black hair, brown eyes, atheletic type body, smooth, and cute. Look me up if you are good looking. I prefer guys with uncut cock, LATIN +++. Into oral, anal, rimming, getting fucked and fucking. If you have nice feet...I love to suck on toes.
