US currency does well over there take small bills to barter with the street vendors, as for hotels I really liked Kempinski Hotel Moika 22 it's right in the middle of Nevskey Prospect (russian rodeo drive) unfortunately I was too drunk to get the names of any of the clubs my guide took me to...keep a close eye on your wallet pickpockets there are very good...as for vodkas keep an eye out for russian standard and gezelka (pronounced that way cant remember russian spelling) both are very good and extremely reasonable in country (russian standard is about 7 or 10 US in russia, but in Harrods in the UK it goes for about 30 pounds sterling)
