Adelitas is the same. It's how you play the game.
I have never seen or heard of any recycled drinks @AB, but i do agree with most of what CJ says about Adelitas. However, this has always been how adelitas operates for many years. Nothing has changed there good or bad IMHO. Sure, you got the nice remodel and a $1 more for the rooms and drinks. It's the same price increase at other big bars too. It's no big deal as the price$ for *****s will always be $40-$60@AB which is right in the middle compared to the prices of other big bars.
When you're a newbie, you put up with all that crap because you think this is the greatest adult disneyland. Then as you make more mongering trips esp worldwide, you get jaded when you compare or get "ripped off" in TJ. You need to make changes or TJ will take you for all you've got. You just have to know how to play their game to your advantage. I've had my experiences of being ripped off many times in the past there. It's still the #1 place for ROB's, but it's also the #1 place for trophies. It just depends on what you're looking for in TJ as AB is not for every monger. You need to accept AB for what it is or find another place to your liking.
Now, I get everything i want @AB after getting to know how to play their game and befriending the staff, management and the girls are key. No mas shark attacks, good trophy fvcks and TLN rooms anytime i want. In my eyes, Adelitas has never and will never change. It is the monger who has changed.
