It might be true but he added nothing positive at all. First he gets involved in a shootout on the USA side and then he says the same girls are there with the same clothes. Plus the cops want coffee? That is a new one for sure.
Also there was nothing good at all that happened? Same old door girls, same old clothes, then a bandito is running loose carrying a pistol in Laredo. If that is true he must be the unluckiest guy in the world.
There is plenty of free porn on the internet and they don't even ask for coffee, imagine that.
I even heard of a country where some Arabs flew two commercial airliners into a couple of tall buildings. Was that in Laredo or Nuevo Laredo?

I have had them ask me for coffee money also, so that part is no doubt true.

OK where they wearing the same old clothes, lol? I have definitely had them ask for money but it was never for coffee. I had a guard at the Pemex facitity in Ciudad del Carmen ask for refrescos to allow my GF to come through the gate.

[QUOTE=Ze Gato]There is no need to lie. And all I am saying is be careful, and that sh*t scared the heck out of me.[/QUOTE]
Ze Gato did add something positive.
He informed us to be careful and not to flash hi-beams at someone who probably has nothing to lose and on the verge of BK of which 25+ percent of all adult Americans will also succumb to if the S&P hits 500 and RRE declines another 10 percent(I don't have the link).
I'm going back to MX for six months but I know it's going to be a whole different environment from previous episodes. Maybe not so much in the rich areas but for the Mexican poor, it is going to be all about a daily survival. Actually, it's going to be that way for many in the U.S. as well.

Six months of non-perishable food and water is an absolute no brainer if you reside in any of the aforementioned countries listed in the above article.

Asking for coffee money
Yes, this was true in the Zona on the South side of Saltillo . Upon entering the compound's archway entrance. We all went for coffee and had a few laughs as well. New aquaintenances made over coffee. They even fetched for me one of the last cabs leaving out that night.
You guys be safe and have fun !!!!!
Regards, A.T.M.

Well, after some arguing I'm all confused now jejej how is the action in bt and around what time does it pick up? Is danash still the best option there? I will probably be going on Thursday night if anyone wants to join.

Now that all the girls are coming back from their Christmas vacations things are picking back up. Last year I went three times between October and November, and the chica count and quality was better than it had been in a couple of years at least. 123 had re-opened, and looks like they are going to be at least as good as it was in the past.
Danash still has the best selection of 8's 9's and the occasional 10, but your going to pay more for it there. Senoritas, and 123 woul be the 2nd tier, but easier to bargain there. Pappa's runs a very close 3rd tier, and most of the other clubs (Blue Dragon, Pullman, Tamyko etc.) are hit or miss, but I recommend giving them at least a 1 beer look around, sometimes you find a diamond amongst the coal.
Don't plan on getting there before 10:00pm or plan to be bored. 10 is actually probably too early. U usually hang out around the downtown bars until about 10 or 11 before I head out to BT.

Ze Gato (no relation to this Super Gato) may have had the gun situation happen on the Texas side. There was a documentary about a dude that got assassinated in Laredo Texas over some narcotraficante business in Mexico years ago.
Yeah the guy chasing Ze Gato may have been a narcotrafante, or he could be the random crazy person. People all over the country get a gun pulled on them and sometimes chased by crazy people.
Downtown Laredo Texas is rough and have never had a good vibe about the place. I've been driving to that parking lot countless times over the years and rarely see anyone. Before they built the new toll plaza and stairs up from the parking lot and you had to walk along that dark street to the bridge, I was always thinking I was going to get rolled. Gringo late at night going to Mexico probably has some cash on him. But haven't had a problem yet on either side. The lesson is to be alert and not draw attention to yourself. This applies in Texas, Mexico and everywhere else on the planet.

Yes, and remember the old sub street level exit from the bridge on the Mexican side? Only a few of lights worked.
Two books written years apart describe the author's experience and feeling upon crossing into Nuevo Laredo.
"Down that Pan American Highway "(circa 1947).
"Long Road South " (1999).
Their descriptions were very similiar considering the time difference.

Anyone have any information on the new opening. It was a total nude dance joint with cheap white plastic chairs last time I went. Might have to spend a little tax return money to see the new place.

123
Upgraded the chairs, not much of anything else. Club is still pretty much nude, but I think it is up to the girl if they want to go the "full monty" or not. Pricing is still a comparitive bargain. They still need to work on their chica count, but on a good night there are some lookers.

I think the stage is a little nicer and the there's ceiling fans that will come in handing in a few months. I completely agree they need more girls and some hotties. Last time I was there I didn't see anyone that caught my eye so I didn't find out if they redid the rooms.

Pricing
I am planning a trip there and trying to see if the prices are comparable to Tijuana? Is a hopping place similar to that or not? I have been to a few border cities and found Tijuana was the best. So if I could get a little pricing info of what to expect I would love it.
Thank you

George Sims,
Where will you be coming from. I will just say that if Nuevo Laredo is a convenient drive for you, or if you are close for other reasons then check it out. Even on a slow night it's a good time. But, if you have to get on a plane to get here, and it's the only reason you will be in this part of the world, then don't. You will be wasting your money and time. If your trip to Mexico involves airfare then you are better off going to TJ (IMOHO), or better yet, save up a little more and go to Costa Rica.

Baby Huey speaks the truth.
You can bang some door girls (like the street girls in TJ, but they work out of small rooms inside the compound, so there's no hotel fee). Like the TJ street girls, the rates start cheap but you have to pay for everything extra like multiple positions, having her take all her clothes off, etc.
The bar girls will start at $60 for the less desirables at the second and third tier bars to $120+ at Danash. Danash will have Adelita Hottie Central style girls by at twice the price. But Danash is a much smaller place set up like an US-style strip club. There's no Hong Kong style wild party club with foam shows.
Nuevo Laredo Boystown pales in comparison to the quantity of chicas in TJ. This also means the quantity of quality chicas will be smaller. Bars like Papagayo, Senoritas and Danash will have meseros that speak enough English to get by if you're not fluent in espaņol. A few of the girls will speak "puta English" --- enough to negotiate their fee and what they will and won't do.
What can be offsetting to many visitors to NLBT is at the front gate there's a police stop where you'll need to get out of the taxi and get patted down. Some cops will take your wallet out of your pocket. They'll ask what you do or where you're from. Don't bring anything that can be construed as a weapon or drugs and you should be fine. Some on this board and others have reported dirty cops planting knives in cars or drugs in order to extract a bribe, but that hasn't happened to me in my 100+ visits to the compound.
Like Huey says, if you're in South Texas for business or pleasure it is worth checking out, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go to NLBT. To me, TJ is a much better time.
