Oh sorry, last one to consider change in document in the future for clarification like others are giving. Paraditas (streetwalkers) low pricing is the introduction price and is limited. It is à la carte pricing is my understanding. Even taking off top might be an extra $5 or $10. So you kind of have to be specific because each service costs something and it adds up. It might be easier to ask what is for everything (todo) and list some services and get the price that way. I did that the one time I experienced and it was a really good experience which I think I lucked out a bit reading other reviews. Asking how much and she says, $40 doesn't really give you much information.

Thanks OPIllini! I think the guide should be updated with Uber/Lyft pricing more like $40-$50 from the airport. I have checked the last 3 trips and it has been that pricing even at night. I also believe (I could be wrong) but the bus and trolley to the border is only $2.50 each way, not each segment. When I scanned my Pronto App to board the 992 bus, it took off $2.50 and then when I rescanned for the Blue Line, it did not deduct another fare as I believe it is a free transfer. Coming back is the same thing so for a TJ trip, I only load $5.00 total, $2.50 to and from the border.

Ah, I see. Now I have the answer although it seems weird since it is named by people who speak Spanish Tropical Bar and we are switching it. Just trying to be funny here, so Golden Palace abbreviation should be PG? Lol. Appreciate the feedback, at least I understand the rationale.

@Jascoi - that was funny. You tried hard to want it to be an exception/ weird year versus the reality.

@owlyoung - there are a lot of posts in this forum for first time travelers by experienced contributors. I highly recommend you read up on those because knowing that information will make things so much easier for you. 1) yes, Hotel Cascadas hotel is above the club although you have to enter the hotel and club through separate entries next to each other in both the front and back of building. It is highly recommended for your first time to stay at Cascadas since it is right above HK. The hotel rents runs up until the 9th floor. 2.) I don't know if there is a dress code but most guys I see have a polo shirt on. There are those who wear a tee shirt and many who have a dress shirt. Your preference on how you want to present yourself. 3.). I would say almost all of the US travelers come across the border via San Diego and then through San Ysidro crossing. Flying wise they fly into San Diego and then a majority will take the blue line trolley down to the border. Some take an Uber/Lyft frim the airport but depending on time of day, that could be a $40-50 trip. The 992 bus to the blue line trolley to the border is only $2.50. Bargain. 4.). Currency - In HK, the girls, the drinks, the arribas all are priced in US dollars. The restaurant (Azul) with the hotel can be paid in USD or pesos. The convenience store (Oxxo) is like a 7-11 and can use both currencies. I actually haven't ever converted any dollars to pesos in all my trips but there is a thread about the good conversation rates now so maybe others pay in pesos but I haven't seen it in HK. 5.). Luggage - the over the shoulder one works. I have taken different kinds. The backpack was a second bag if you needed. There is no way I could fit everything I need to change into in just a backpack. 6.). Hotel - no need to call, just go on the website and reserve the room you want. They will get back to you usually within half a day to verify if your room is available and confirmed for the dates for are staying.
