HKs is definitely the priority and am wondering if you all can give me some guidance on how to make this first trip memorable. For reference, ive done OTC in Texas clubs and ITC. I don’t plan on doing any drugs. I’m open to all suggestions and feedback to include other clubs and possible

I will play along and comment on your discussion.
To answer your question:
Q: how many days and a good budget range to plan for?
A: About 3days like Liwet said, and I also agree with his budget and hotel recommendations.
You and your friend should consider this first trip a recon mission to gain information and see how things are, if you don’t speak Spanish be prepared for misunderstandings and somethings lost in translation, just ask for someone that speak English to help you, most people would be happy to help, tip accordingly if they are working.
This is a must read article from tuscl’s EastCoaster
“Hong Kong Club, Tijuana for Beginners”

As long as you and your friend behave like respectable, friendly, gentlemen, you will be treated like a friendly, respectable gentlemen.
Don’t overthink things, nothing is going to be exactly like you imagined or were told, just be prepared for the worst and hope for the best that way you won’t be surprised.
Just relax stay open to the positive experiences so you can have a good enjoyable time at The Happiest Place on Earth (according to Krusty)

Just remember to be careful out there, and Pics and Vids or it didn’t happen.
:D
i fly to SD.
hop on 922 bus $3
take that to blue line trolley.
take blue line to san ysidro $3
follow everyone to the border crossing building.
stay in right line when in building.
show passport and hopefully get through no hassle. might make you buy $30 FMM (6 month entry)
follow the line til you get to taxi.
taxi to Hong Kong $5-10 (negotiate)
goto front "desk" (need a mask) and ask for VIP card $60 (3 months vip access)
go next door to Hotel Cascadas (make reservation before hand online). show vip card. rooms as low as $23 pending what night you're there. check in is at 3pm. check out 11am. if you arrive before check in, you can tip the guy where you buy VIP card at HK and check it in there. I've left over $1000 in my bag checked with him so I wouldn't worry much.
Once checked in, you have a few options. I like to goto pharmacy and get "supplies" like water, gatorade, condoms, whatever before I go have fun. Otherwise, just goto HK and open the infamous red curtain to heaven.
Other "musts" for first time :
Clubs :
-Adelitas you'll get a diff type of female here... diff shapes and sizes, more "curvy" than HK. Dominican, cuban, latin america type women as well.
-Chicago Club this is where I go to chill out a bit. Less busy, a step or two down as far as average looks go. i think $1 less for drinks. These girls I find work the most for the money though. Fichas are usually good. they don't drink their drinks as fast in my experience. They play a good amount of american music.
-Tropical bar - no my fave bc usually smokey, but this is owned by HK. A step down from HK . Think of it as HK's dive bar. girls from HK/Trop can go to Cascadas if you decide you want to arriba and you have a room at Cascadas (or same with Trops hotel rizo.
you can venture into other clubs but i'd say those are the 4 you should try out your first time.
Other endeavors : on one of the corners of the rectangle block (think the alley street, the side street of hotels, the front access of hotels, then the other side street) there are many food vendors but in the corner of one you'll see a large cart with pork,beef, etc ...thts a good taco and birria spot. about $1.50 per. carne asada, al pastor, birria (small cup is good for me, with tortillas).
Revolucion street (where the Arch is) is a popular and touristy spot where you'll be safe. Wall to the arches and take a right (coming from hotel). many fun shops, food spots, and a nice cigar place as well if thats your thing. also, these are the cheaper pharmacies vs near the hotels in case you want viagra or whatever.
There are a lot more things that you could read about so I suggest doing that, but this was a pretty basic guide to start ya out. Good luck. what days will you be indulging?
My recommendation is monday and tuesday is plenty of time and will save you the most money. 70% off hotel on those nights. look into buying a bottle vs individual drinks too. 20% bottles those nights. you can check your bottle too if you leave the club. just check with front desk guy. I am prob toward the lower budge person in the group of regulars here but I usually stay two nights, buy a bottle which last both nights, usually 2-4 girls arriba in total, plus food and usually about 400-600.
Besmitty: I’ll either be going the memorial day weekend or the week shortly after depending on my friends avaibility.
@Pjizzle02, do as much reading of reviews and articles on TUSCL as you can to prepare. Focus on writings from the following TJ mongering superstars: @Putatester (the artist formerly known as @tahoecruz), @greanbeans, @jascoi, @mongo1964, @cristobal, @eastcoaster, and @besmitty, as you've seen.
@JAprufrock - Dont sell yourself short on the superstar list haha. I'm still technically a rookie, since it's been less than a year (July 5th is my anniversary I believe)... I hope to win the rookie of the year award lol.
One more thing, just make sure you and your friend are a good Wingman for each other.
Urban Dictionary definition of a wingma:
“the wingman will prevent male and female cockblockers from the pointman who is macking.
A wingman may be the best thing to have in order to get what you want from women
wingman steps into the bar and covers the grenade (unacceptable girl) and or cockblockers while waiting for the next moves in the game with the pointman so they both can score.”
Make sure you and your friend are “that person who will always have your back, no matter what.” for each other
So you both can have a good experience in the Happiest Place on earth. (according to Krusty)

Just not ENOUGH experience yet
You've already got some travel advice, so here is something else. If you're looking for fun in TJ it's going to be a lot easier to get the mileage you didn't find at SAMC (when it was probably all around you on a Friday night in 2017). Don't jump at the first thing you see, and don't chase something because you'll have a lot of options. Keep a low profile. Have fun.
I am especially interested in the status of the Deja Vu club?
And Deja Vu SUCKS. No experienced monger goes there. The club is far more than safe walking distance after dark from the other clubs. They are much more expensive across the board. They do not have an associated hotel; just cubical-size rooms in the club that the rent for high roller prices. Even the girls are so FOB they don't know how to please a client or so old or ugly or used up that I cannot get excited. I think the only reason they survive is that they are the closest club to the border, the USA Deja Vu clubs advertise the Mexico club, and name recognition. Even the porn stars they have perform there are D-listers.
Jascoi and others have given you good advice above. For your first visit, stay close to Hong Kong, Adelita Bar, Chicago Club, which are all basically on the same block (Chicago Club is just around the corner, but it's like a three-minute walk from HK) and you'll be fine.
Have fun, and bring back some good stories for us!
The short answer is, "yes," especially at HK. HK tends to block off parts of the club to force the people into a smaller space intentionally/artificially making the club crowded. It is more about marketing to those who like that vibe than the capacity to make the clients comfortable. Even on a Monday night, it can "appear" crowded and difficult to find seating. If you don't like that vibe, you can go to the other clubs.
That said, I have noticed a decline in overall patronage likely due to the faltering economy. (And yes, it is largely the president's fault...President Putin, not the other guy.)
With street girls mx pesos work best.
