Looking forward to my first trip. I haven't been in a club in over 6 years. I've read a few things here and seen some YouTube videos. Anybody have any additional advise?
I'm flying into San Diego and staying at hotel cascadas.
I was in a "strip club" in Hermosillo a few weeks ago. Nice club. After watching a few performers on stage, they had all the ladies on the stage and were offering lapdances for 200 pesos - That's about $15 US? I requested one hot dancer. We went to a little cubicle after paying the door guy the 200 and she commenced to grind. And she did that same grind for 4 songs. Nothing came off, no touch from her. No resistance to my touching outside. Pretty asexual.

I've cut and pasted below a reply I offered to a similar thread from a few months ago. Here's the top 10 tips I'd have for newbies in TJ:
1. Read the reviews, so you know what to expect, what to pay, how to avoid things like the dreaded $30 wine ficha, etc. My own most recent three part review was chocked full of info: https://tuscl.net/review/408137
2. Pick up Babbel and study some Spanish. You don't have to be fluent, a little goes a long way.
3. Set a budget up front. Bring what you can afford to spend and expect that you'll want to spend it all.
4. Budget for plenty of fichas so that you can find the right chicas to take on arriba. Be direct with the chicas about what you want. For example, not all chicas will do LFK/DFK, but if you are upfront that you are looking for "una chica que le guste muchos besos" you'll find one that will.
5. HK is the "queen of dragons" of strip clubs and it's worth getting a room at Cascadas if you plan on staying long or doing multiple arribas. Chicago Club is a solid alternative to HK and worth a visit too.
6. Before you leave the US, create a Google Voice account and link it to a WhatsApp account, that will give you a way to message most chicas should you need it.
7. Bring a bluetooth speaker. A fun ficha activity is to work on a playlist for your arriba with a chica.
8. If you like lap dances and your budget can support it, I highly recommend doing VIP rooms at either HK or CC. At a cost of $110 per hour, with a tip to your chica of $80-100, these rooms are a great value and hot way to warm up for a VIP. In contrast, the privado rooms last only a song and are a terrible value.
9. If you can, get SENTRI / Global Entry to avoid the long crossing back to the US. If you're not able to do that, look into the bus back to the border, which will still save lots of time if the crossing is crowded.
10. Once you're back, make sure to post a good review, so that those of who can't make it to TJ that often can live vicariously through you!
A final warning: TJ will ruin US strip clubs for you. Be prepared for the fact that you will want to return, TJ is not an adventure you can just tick off your bucket list.
Feel free to post more direct questions or DM me. I'm jealous of you for getting to experience TJ for your first time, you WILL have a blast. Post a good trip report when you're back!
Since this will be your first time, is best to keep things simple and go with the expectation of this just being a recon/investigation/learning visit to gain information and see how things work/are, if you don’t speak Spanish fluently be prepared for “misunderstandings” real or fake; because somethings get lost in translation.
Also again, keep expectations realistic; the paid-for-sex experience can be an expensive hobby for most people.
If you really can afford the paid for-sex-hobby south of the border, just take a plane, train, bus to San Diego and then the trolley/streetcar to the border and walk across to the Happiest Place on Earth (according to Krusty)
When going into Mexico the Mexican border officials might ask you for the Visitor Permit (FMM) and the permit will be stamped and the number of days that is valid noted on it (up to 180) and you keep half of the Visitor Permit.
Keep the Visitor Permit with your passport card or passport because you are supposed to show it to Mexican government officials, if they ask for it, and ultimately you will have to give it back to a Mexican immigration official when you leave Mexico.
After crossing the border, joust walk over the pick up place for the Free Limousine ride service to Hong Kong, the people there will be happy to help you, and tip the limo driver a couple of dollars.
When you get to the hotel Cascadas, get the VIP card at the front desk/customer service for the discounts and offers in case you end up wanting to take girls to your room (arriba) more than once a day, and just get a “basic room”, and check in.
I recommend to go to eat something light at the restaurant azul and then take a shower before going inside Hong Kong.
Inside the club walk around and see if any girl is of your liking and approach her, to “interview” her to see if she is right for the “job/position” of going with you upstairs (arriba)
Make sure you and her are clear about what is expected of each other, basic is full service (covered) for $100-$120 for half an hour, everything else is extra.
YES; that is the basic full service, from there everything else has to be negotiated in the paid-for-sex experience. Like restaurants, every bargirl has their own menu, and rules and have the “right to refuse service”.
Remember you are visiting a different country with a different culture a different language, but very nice people and really good food, an interesting “experiences” that you should be able and happy that you can afford.
As long as you behave like respectable, friendly, gentleman, you will be treated like a friendly, respectable gentleman.
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 or disappointed.
Just relax stay open to the positive experiences so you can have a good enjoyable time.
Keep in mind the Russian proverb:
“People greet you according to the way you dress… and say goodbay according to the way you behave"
So dress clean and simple, don’t be flashy or be pulling out a lot of cash, keep money in different pockets and make sure you know how much you have in each pocket so you don’t have to show more than necessary.
Don’t drink or do drugs or do or carry anything illegal, focus on enjoying your first visit to Tijuana and Hong Kong experience, relax and enjoy the learning process.
In this first visit don’t walk around the city beyond the Hotel area, stay safe and relax enjoy the place.
When you’re ready to leave, check out from the hotel and ask for the limo to take you back to the border and walk back to the USA.
You talking 4000 pesos ? Geez here I am willing to shell out up to 1500US for OTC and the women in clubs now seem like they arent willing to do any extras. They are so lazy now they seem like they dont even want to approach guys anymore. Too many just sitting on their phones.
If I cant get some action soon I am just going to travel outiside US and for the same I am willing to pay here seems like I can get a mini orgy going on. Some good tips on TJ you guys posted.
Just got done doing some research about TJ and strip clubs there. Many people saying that the quality is poor and some nasty looking women.
I mean c'mon. I know you have to pay to play, but damn....where are all the fine women at? As men of taste we need some real options. I was even thinking of going the escort route but the few I was interested in I looked up reviews and people said they had odor down there. Pickings are getting really slim I guess, no matter what you are willing to spend. If anyone can mention a decent club or anything then feel free.
@Jack I was last in TJ in February. Next trip in late June.
Quality was NOT down, there were many many smoking hot chicas there. However, some chicas were asking for higher prices for arriba, drink prices were up, so were bar fines for longer sessions.
If you don't negotiate now you might pay $150 for a HH, versus $120 a year ago, or $100 two years ago. But these costs still pale in comparison to what you might pay in SoFla, where a HH session at Cheetah Pomp could cost you $600 to the dancer and a $150 to the house.
Not to mention the fact that in TJ, you can fuck in your own room and not on some cramped dirty couch in a cubicle with all the club noise in the background.
SoFla is worth a visit for any monger and not without it's charm. But if you are flying from far away either way, TJ offers a much better value, selection, and experience than the SoFla clubs. Just my respectful two cents.

I will play along and comment on your discussion.

Let’s be careful out there.
Remember Pics and Vids or it didn’t happen.
