Anyone using pesos more in the club with the exchange rate being up? Noticed HK still posting 17 pesos to the dollar and wondering if anyone is using this to their advantage for fichas or otherwise?
All HK ATMs give good peso rate like Visa official rate. Just becareful the ATMs will sneak in a line asking you to choose its coversion offer where it'll charge you $15 extra. Always select the Option: No Conversion, also select Visa Debit because USA Debit may get denied. And lock your card when not in use.

last commentPretty sure HK is up to 19 to 1 now. I was just there a few days ago.
Peso trading at about 20.85 to 1 right now on the open markets.
Ah ok I think when I last went around the 14 it was still 17…good to know

Great question and observation.
Are there fixed prices for drinks in HK in pesos? I know dollars are $6 and $11.
Interesting that when the peso/usd rate sucked the girls used that fact to explain the rate jump from $100 to $120.
So I guess that now the rate is about as high as ever we will soon see session prices drop, right? ;-).
If the pesos now is 19 to 1 in the club and hotels i probably won't bother with the exchange much.
