I'll make it earlier and quicker than the above comment. Yes you can get VIP card in the lobby. When checking in, there is a guy in a suit who stands in the corner. He will get you your card. Hes a good dude too. very helpful. If he isn't there, just go to (alley side) HK entrance and get one from the counter guy. 70% of on mon/tue and 20% on the other days. Also gets you a discount on food from Azuls and senda norte (attached to tropical bar) ...i prefer senda norte. I feel the food is better and prices as well. Also when the bill comes , senda norte gives you two bills...before price and after so you see it was applied correctly. I've had multiple times at Azul they try to screw you in conversion rate. The downfall about Senda Norte is the service time. Often it takes longer to order/get meal/get bill. Im not in a rush usually so I dont mind...but if you are, then maybe goto Azul (or get some street food!)

Everything in TJ is negotiable. That said, if staying at Cascadas, the SGs (street girls) can go there if they have proper ID/health cards. The SGs in the main alley are more likely to go than those on the outskirt alleys/streets. You can (and I have) found diamonds in the rough so to speak, but generally speaking, in my experience, those that stand in front of HK and Cascadas are typically the better quality (in bed) than the others. As far as rates, they're getting to be ridiculous in my opinion which is why I went from goign every month to every few months now. I've been quoted $80 from SGs lately. $50 is on the low end. If you want a SG with just sex, no bj, not fully nude, 1-2 positions, then looking $30-50. Anything more will be 50-80... maybe more as the peso climbs higher in value against the US dollar. It used to be paying in Pesos vs US dollar made a diff but the last 2 times I went, its just about the same, maybe just a couple dollars diff. As long as you can go to HK/Chicago and still get $100 deal, I feel that is the best deal at this point. If you can find a banger at $50-60 in the Alley, who will do EVERYTHING (nude,bj,sex, multiple positions,etc) then thats a good deal now days... just depends on what you want. Right now the peso is 16.5 for every US dollar roughly. When I started going it was 20.5 for every dollar. I hope when it goes back to 19ish, prices will drop, but somehow, I dont think it will... Girls will claim inflation now for the price hike, but when the peso goes down, they'll say "take it or leave it at the same cost. They've already experienced the more money and wont settle so easily.

Jascoi - I like cascadas or rizo for 2 reasons : 1- convenience of being literally next door to HK 2- The few times I've gone to Rizo, they try to give me a downgrade of a room at the same price I paid for. Last time I paid for a master suite and they tried giving me a regular room telling me that was the suite. They argued a while. Just got annoying. This has happened more than once. As far as Asia goes... I very much so want to go but not alone. I work in the travel industry so airfare and time is not an issue for me (luckily) but finding someone who can go with, that's a diff story. The PLAN was Thailand (and / or philipines) and Colombia this year but with how things have shook out so far early on in the year, I'm thinking the plan is changing to Belize and Aruba (believe it or not, much cheaper for me) ... we will see though! I can see how goign to Thailand would change your perspective on TJ. When did you go? What were the going rates ?

About a week or two ago they had a news article that there was another legal courthouse setback so I doubt soon

So Greenbeans and I went for the day and night. He had quite a bit more fun than myself but TJ is always decent. I'm going to write an article on it (I always write notes as I go along in TJ) ... From the very beginning of entering TJ made it.... interesting ...
