Nice write-up, TrillSD15. Sounds like you had a very successful first visit. Congrats. FWIW, I think the days of getting to go arriba at HK for $60 are a thing of the past, even with good negotiating skills. The best I ever did there was during my first trip to TJ in November of 2014, where I took two super-hot girls upstairs at the same time for $50 each (a session I will never, *ever* forget). At that time, $60 was, in fact, the going rate. During subsequent visits, the standard asking price crept up to $80, and the last time I was there -- between Christmas and New Year's of 2019 -- girls were routinely asking for $100 and settling for $80. The pandemic has undoubtedly lowered the chances for girls to make money, so it's not surprising that they're trying to hold the line at $100. But I would look at it this way: There's virtually no place in the U.S. where you can have 30 minutes in a completely private hotel room with a stunning beauty who will do whatever you want for $100. What a bargain. I am *so* looking forward to making another west coast trip.

I always love a good travelogue, especially a well-written one about one of my favorite places to visit. Thanks for posting!

Sorry, @shadowcat. I left my decoder ring at Follies right before they closed.

"I took one to vip curtains and see wanted 0.2 ." @seancarterjz, what does this mean?

I've been to Tijuana a lot, but never to the brothels in Nevada. However, I've read the reviews here on TUSCL (they are few in number, which kind of tells you something), and to me they seem like a total waste of time and money. Just my impression -- and the comments above support that.

Techman, I think most of the girls ask $20 per song, but the price is often negotiable if you do multiples. My friend never counts songs with me, nor is she concerned about time. We just have some mutually-enjoyable fun and I give her enough money to make her glad I came in to see her. Minnow, what club details would you like? Respond here and I'll fill you in.

In regard to money, Papi_Chulo said, "it's better to take enough and leave w/ some left over than not have enough." Very, very good advice. The same advice applies to condoms. Carpe diem, young grasshopper.

Yes, bring your own condom. Several, in fact. lol

Yes, Treasure Club for sure. Very attractive and friendly girls. Also, Southside Johnny's is the only nude club in NC. Not the most upscale place in respect to facilities or girls, but probably the best mileage in an otherwise disappointing state if you're looking for real fun. At SSJ's, especially good times are available in private rooms or in the limo. Check reviews for prices and additional details. (FYI, if you want to drink there, it's BYO.)

Before COVID, Chicago Club was really starting to step up its game, and though it could be hit-or-miss, there were times when it seemed a better value than HK (which I love, BTW) in terms of girls and prices. Personally I've never had much luck at Adelita Bar, but other TUSCLers have. It's been a year since my last trip to TJ, so I don't know what any of the clubs are like right now. As mongo1964 said above, you should visit all three, as they are literally just steps away from one another. Have fun!

I mostly visit clubs when traveling and have been to about 250 different clubs in the U.S., Canada, and Tijuana. I've been on TUSCL since 2014, but I started mongering long before that.

Thanks for the several shout-outs here. Due to the pandemic and my risk factors, I haven't been active for almost a year now, but I just got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and am planning to venture out in a few weeks. Lots of my favorite reviewers have already been named, and I concur with all the positive comments. However, for the sheer entertainment value of the written word, I have to say that Eve is my favorite of the faves.

Thanks for the update. So have they not yet re-installed curtains in the lap dance area? In Coltrane25's review from back in November, he said "The fire marshal took them down because they were not flame retardant. So, they'll be back up once flame retardant curtains get sourced." This place was fun when they had curtains. Really fun.

I have several risk factors and have been cautious. Got the first Pfizer shot January 29; absolutely no pain upon injection, then a little bit of a sore arm the next day. No other side effects. Will get the second shot Saturday, and am expecting somewhat more of a reaction (so they say), but nothing that would deter me from wanting to get it. My last encounter with a sex worker was March, 2020. Like shadowcat, I am ready to get back in the game. More than ready.

Thanks for the informative review. For anyone visiting this club, it's built on an EPA Superfund site, so don't drink the water. The Aidex Chemical Company made pesticides nearby, and experienced many spills. In addition, there was a fire and the surrounding soil, aquifer and groundwater were contaminated with an herbicide and pesticides by water used to extinguish the blaze. A shallow aquifer that underlies the site was contaminated, and 42 shallow domestic water wells were located within a two-mile radius of the site Someone I know lived about a quarter mile down the road from here, and his water was black-ish. https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.Cleanup&id=0700155#bkground

JimmyMcNulty, you are so right with your comment about a lack of windows being a dead giveaway. However, that does not apply everywhere. If you see a windowless building that says "Kingdom Hall," just know that while you may receive a warm welcome when you go in, you are unlikely to find much in the way of extras there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hall

Nice review. Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed description of your time there.

I agree that $40 is too much, and is actually counterproductive to the club and the dancers. This is what I said in a comment on a review of a club I had been to in Greensboro, NC: "When I was there, no customers did any $40 single dances, but when they ran the two-for-$40 promo, everyone did those, which makes sense. What doesn't make sense is charging $40 for a single dance when the other clubs in town charge $30. The mileage is on the low side here, and $40 a dance is outrageous. For that matter, so is $30 for what little mileage you get here, but at $40, no one is buying them. If they charged the Greensboro-standard $30, maybe people would buy some of those during the hour between 2-4-1 promos; the girls would make more money and so would the club. Duh."

Nice review. Thanks for all the details.

Clubs can certainly change over time. I've been to six out of 40 on this list, including the Electric Blue Cafe in CT, which is #40. There was a time when it was one of the most consistently-positive-reviewed clubs on TUSCL. I was there once -- in 2016 -- and had a great time (at a great price), but judging from the reviews here over the last several years (pre-COVID), the management changed the pricing structure so severely that the ROI was utterly shot to hell.

I'm easily amused, so my requirements are fairly flexible. At a minimum, she must have two boobs and a pussy. I might make an exception if she only has one boob, but, to be honest, it would have to be pretty spectacular. :-)

"California judge rules San Diego strip clubs can stay open during lockdown, delivering blow to Newsom" Obviously fake news. I don't think *anyone* can get a blowjob in a San Diego strip club, not even the governor.

Fantastic review -- really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to provide all the detailed info.
