hook up


Explanation:
If you're looking for slang, this is it. Another, somewhat older term would be "to have a roll in the hay."

go for or have a one-night stand


Explanation:
Date is too light in this context i believe.

Originally, a one-night stand referred to a single night theatre performance, usually by a guest group on tour. Today, however, the term is more commonly understood as a single sexual encounter between individuals, where neither individual has any immediate intention or expectation of establishing a long-term sexual or romantic relationship.

Programa - 8 Bras. Pop. Encontro para fins sexuais, mediante pagamento. Dicionario Aulete Virtual.

I didn´t know that it implied payment, I thought programa was casual sex. So I don´t believe any of the suggestions here are correct.

agree  delveneto: Considerando que ele perdeu a aliança no MOTEL, esta interpretação me parece melhor, mas "make a date" é tb muito bom.
