I can agree that it is very possible that Fredo had previously been to Cuba and didn't want Mike to know, and yes, there is no doubt that person such as Fredo would have no problem sniffing out places of adult entertainment, but the fact does remain that Fredo gave Johnny Ola credit for finding the Superman show, whick leads me to think that Fredo was never in Cuba before, or that Johnny Ola was a better "sniffer" then Fredo, which considering Ola's style of dress doesn't seem very plausible.
