Ladies Half Price is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to Luis Lopez by Tony Prince.
Description[]
Luis meets Brucie and Roman in front of Maisonette 9 as they are trying to enter the club. Luis grants them entry and he meets with Tony. Tony explains that Giovanni Ancelotti has ordered Tony and Luis to rescue his daughter, or he'll have them both killed. Tony has arranged a meet with her kidnappers, Niko Bellic and Patrick McReary. Luis initially suggests giving the diamonds to Bulgarin, but Tony points out that they have a better chance against Bulgarin than they do with Ancelotti.
The duo head to Pier 45 and take a boat to Charge Island Sewage Works where they meet Niko and Patrick. Luis gives them the diamonds and they return Gracie, but the trio are attacked by Bulgarin's men. They escape on the boat and head back to Pier 45. Gracie threatens Luis for not killing Niko and Patrick and threatens to have them killed, before Luis knocks her out. At Pier 45, Luis gets off the boat while Tony leaves to return Gracie to her father.

Trivia[]
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, Patrick's Vincent is normally dark green, but it is black in this mission during the exchange cutscene. However, it becomes dark green in gameplay.
- When Luis and Tony are untying Gracie, the player can hear the conversation between Bulgarin and Niko in the background.
- The shooting can be heard too; canonically however, Bulgarin is not finished speaking by the time the shooting starts. This can be seen here.
- After saving Gracie, the player can return to kill Niko or Packie without failing the mission. Doing so however, will have no effect on the story and Gracie will still act as if Luis refused to kill them.
- Similarly to Armando and Henrique during Drug Wars, Niko and Packie both have extremely high amounts of health in this mission – they can easily survive several blasts from the AA-12.
- Like in the original GTA IV, Packie uses an Assault Rifle in this mission, while Niko uses a Carbine Rifle.
- In the second line of dialogue should the player replay the mission after a first failed attempt, Tony will say that Old Man Ancelotti made him "an offer he couldn't refuse" and that "one man's tradition is another man's worn out cliche". This is an obvious reference to the 1969 mob book and its 1972 film adaptation The Godfather when Don Vito Corleone assures his godson "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" when referring to movie mogul Jack Woltz.
