@techman I have never actually got a quote on the VIP. I know BBD's has an option for $160 where you get your own private lap dance room for the night, but I think the VIP option is even more. Compared to what you can get away with for the $20 dances in the open it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

You all realize Trump was in office for four years already right? Was it hard to enter TJ from 2016 - 2020? TJ and the rest of Mexico make a lot of money off of U.S. Tourist, they aren't going to stop that gravy train. It may become a little harder, the $40 or whatever is is entry fee may return, but I don't see any other changes.

never paid more than $20 a dance other than negotiated extras.

Pairs at almost any club are usually a bad idea. Good Review.

How did this get approved? We have a political forum, keep it there.

I have been told that dancers are not allowed upstairs in the VIP area unless dancing on the upstairs stage or specifically invited. The bathroom upstairs is just the the right of the bar.

My last trip their the contact was much higher than previous visits. Hope to visit again in a few weeks.

I have never heard of bouncers disturbing the dancers or chair forts, interesting.

170 for a 15 minute VIP is still a pretty good deal

HK easily has over 100 on any night. Chicago Club and Bar Tropical are maybe around 50 each. Total up all the other clubs in the Zona and you are probably 400 - 500?

The Chica's are after your money $$, they will go wherever as long as they get their cash.

My understanding (others can correct me) is that BT and HK girls can go to either Cascadas or Rizo de Oro as they are owned by the same group.

@booji Boy - I on average drink 2 beers a night at HK, so this increase really has no real impact on me. You can' t blame HK and the dancers for raising prices, the place is always packed. It is just annoying for us old timers who were spoiled by HK being such a bargain in the past.

I was there for the bikini contest day last year, it is not different than any other night other than all the models are in (mostly yellow) bikinis, which did make for some slight better fichas than normal. I always just get a standard room at Casada's but with the 70% off an upgraded suite seems like a good deal.

Ugh, it used to be so easy when it was $4 for a drink and $9 for a Ficha, so you just had to round up to $5 or $10 with a $1 tip. How soon before ficha prices go up too?

Dancing Bear is fake, everyone there including the ladies are paid performers. There used to be a website called onlinestripclubs or something like that, but it was mostly focused on the stage and did a pretty good job filtering out the mongers.

I need to try Tropical Bar my next time down, never ventured in.

December 6th, still closed. Don't even have a security guard sitting outside anymore, just a big motorcycle across the boarded up door. The cabbie on the ride over from the border said he heard that they might try to reopen in six months or so.

Can confirm there were several ( aggressive) Columbian's working in Chicago Club both Sunday and Tuesday this week. Club was pretty busy Sunday night from 8:00 pm to midnight. Not so much on Tuesday but I was still able to fine Chica's to meet my needs. There is also a Mesera named Alma who was very cool, long blond hair.

I was in Chicago club Tuesday night (and very briefly in HK). Might have seen you guys. Hope you had a good time.

Bumping an my old thread, this is no longer an issue. Both turnstiles are working and there was no wait in either direction either Sunday or Tuesday evening (into Mexico around 7:00 pm, return USA around midnight). Mexico immigration was just a quick look at the passport card then a wave through.

You can save the $10 if you park in the lot in the back.

Closing for two weeks in a typically very slow season doesn't seem like much of a 'punishment'

My last two crossing at midnight (before the last trolley departure ) there was absolutely no line into the US. Avoiding standing in line for over an hour in the mornings is one of the reasons I like staying on the US side, especially if I have an earlier flight the next morning.

I didn't spend much time on Thursday but the quality of the girls seemed more 'normal'. With the VIP room discount on Monday and Tuesday guessing Wednesday is just the bad night.
