A city in far Eastern Russia. To get an idea of the prices there, check this out:

1 hour - 200 rubles
2 hours - 400 rubles
3 hours - 500 rubles
6 hours (night) - 1000 rubles

To convert the rubles into real money, 200 rubles is about 7 dollars. 1000 rubles is around $30 a night.

The down side is that there are less Russians there and more Mongolians/Siberians, for those who like the blond Scandanavian types.
