Well I paid that little bastard those 500$ to get the location of Big Lucys and man, did I feel suckered.
Cause he tells me it's in a warehouse just south of the Real Estate Agency, but there's no place to go. Just to make sure, I went to every single place on the map, but no Lucys. Next time I see Larry the Toe or whatever his name was, he'll be real sorry I'm playing a very tough detective...

Anyone have an idea what went wrong here? Or is it supposed to be a scam?

Mr. Carnahan,

Big Lucy's is a moving location. It's never in the same place when you go to visit it. It is also a very secret place and very well hidden and is not represented by any icon.

Next time it happens, or if you have not done a case since you paid Larry, move your mouse over the area he describes and you will see your cursor turn into a hand. Once you see that, you know you found Big Lucy's.

Say hi to her for me.

Another trick is to hit control-A on the map page once you pay your $500. This will show you Lucy's location without having to click around.

Guess I'll go with the ctrl-A solution seeing as I thought that it might not have an icon and did a cursor scan of the entire map... or so I thought. Guess I must've missed it... Here's to hoping whatever's in Big Lucys is worth the 1000$ I've spent on it the next time I get the opportunity to get the location...

i just click on the map on an area where there isn't a location sometimes if that was the exact location of big lucy's i get there at the time i click on the map but otherwise the map turns gray to show me a little box... keep in mind that if this isn't done before u start ur next case... then u lose big lucy's cabaret.

Carnahan, I think I can safely say that at your experience level the only thing you're gonna get out of visiting the Cabaret at this point is the fun of knowing what it is.

Actually Crunch, visiting Lucy's for the new players is a very good thing now because of the reading material available there. The XP earned from that is worth it for the skill points.

Whoops, right you are - I'd forgotten about the literature :)
