Thank you for posting but this is a classic example of "If it sounds too good to be true, it.... " $45 for an hour of sex in the VIP room with 5 beers thrown in. Seriously? Are you a newbie to the zona?

If you really wanted to thank the poster, it's counter productive to insult him.

I think it is bad form to blame the victim.

A lot of bars on the alley offer beers for around $2, sometimes even less.

So I think he had a right to expect more than he got for his $45 expenditure.

Chator, you were victimized by both the shifty mesero and that ratera chica. They were obviously working together to cheat clients.

Thank you for reporting on this scam.

Just curious if anyone has been to a place located across the street behind the Hong Kong Bar called Bar-Gold. I got scammed at this place. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Ok. After 30 minutes in the room, the masero tries to kick me out again and the girl agrees with him that my time is up. I consider this a scam as I did not get what I was promised or offered.

This is good info. Thanks for it even though you were a victim of scam. This may suggest to the rest of us to stick to the more reputable places like Adelitas and HK.

And I didn't even touch the five beers! I came in the room with a beer I had previously purchased and the girl I came in with was on the second beer I had bought for her! I broke my one drink per girl rule! One drink then sex.

You were scammed because the waiter lied. But you got what you paid for because $45 is the standard price of a VIP room with a bucket of beer. The girl blew you off because she was expecting separate payment. At least this how it has always been quoted to me.

[Chator]

Yep, you got scammed.

She refuses but allows me to take her top off and proceeds to give me a hand-job, without any lube. After 30 minutes in the room, the masero tries to kick me out again and the girl agrees with him that my time is up. I consider this a scam as I did not get what I was promised or offered.

Yep, you got scammed.

Pleas explain how you got scammed

Ok. I was offered the V. I. P. Room $45 for 45 minutes, the girl I was with told me it would really be an hour. She also said she would have sex with me in the V. I. P. Room. So, I go for it as it sounds like a deal, plus you get 5 beers. Well, the minute I get in the room, the girl I'm with leaves to use the bathroom and is gone for like 5-10 minutes. She comes back for a few minutes, then after a little while tells me she needs to leave again to use the bathroom a second time. She's gone for another 5-10 minutes. After 20 minutes the masero tries to kick me out of the room. I tell him its only been 20 minutes and my girl has been in the bathroom the entire time. He gets her for me and she's with me for another 10 minutes during which time I try to get her to have sex with me like she promised. She refuses but allows me to take her top off and proceeds to give me a hand-job, without any lube. After 30 minutes in the room, the masero tries to kick me out again and the girl agrees with him that my time is up. I consider this a scam as I did not get what I was promised or offered.

I misspoke regarding Hacienda de Santiago as it appears that most (if not all) their room televisions are older analog sets.

I believe many of the newer love motels have digital TVs. I'm not sure about Pueblo Amigo.

I was hoping that there would be enough things to do down there that I don't normally do at home, ie. , watch TV. I know that in mnay other destinations like Thailand, Philippines, Costa Rica, etc. , there are lots of cultural as well as outdoor activities to take in when not with the girls.

I am going to Tijuana on Saturday and I will be staying at Pueblo Amigo. This is my first time booking an overnight date. What can I expect assuming the provider is competent?

It is always best to maybe have spent a little time with the chica before commiting to a TLN. Such as maybe booking an hour with her before and if the chemistry is there extend it or arrange for her to return for the total night. Chemistry is the key for being together for an extended period. As far as what to expect if she is competent, well if you have any kind of sex addiction issues you should be cured for about a week. You will be so drained you won't even want to think about sex for a little while.

I haven't done this yet, but I plan to bring a Chromecast dongle with me on my next multi-night stay in LZ.

With WiFi and digital TVs becoming more widely offered in LZ, I'm thinking I could be watching You Tube, Netflix or Hulu offerings in my room.

All or nearly all the rooms in Cascades, HDS and Rizo de Oro have digital televisions with HDMI input jacks.

I am thinking about returning to Tijuana but instead of the quick afternoon visit I did last time, I would stay for maybe two nights at Hotel Cascadas, unless any of you gents think it's better to stay across the street over at Hotel Rizo De Oro instead.

But I'm wondering what the heck should I do there in between sessions with the girls. For you who usually stay in Tijuana for a few nights, what do you usually do with your time there when in between sessions?

Your post appears to be conflicted and self contradictory.

Scatman, you are absolutely right. But you should have realized by now that our mathematically challenged friend is absolutely clueless when it comes to numbers amongst a plethora of other topics. There's really no point in trying to argue with him. I mean, he actually thinks HK can profit off a "spread. " In a pathetic attempt to sound sophisticated he writes:

"A side benefit, if they choose to, is that HK can then take these dollars they got at 13:1 and make a bundle on the spread. ".

First of all, there is ONE and ONLY ONE way you can make a profit off the spread. And that is if YOU ARE THE ONE OFFERING THE SPREAD. The spread is defined as the amount between the buy and sell prices. HK does not offer a spread. Therefore, it is impossible for them to make a profit on it. Casa de cambios have a spread. Banks offer a spread. HK does not offer a spread.

HK does not get dollars at 13:1. They get pesos at 13:1. And they are LOSING a TON of money because they are not adjusting their tipo to cambio to market conditions. HK is a dollar based business. Might as well be USA Based. Their prices are dollar based and do not fluctuate. Their prices in pesos fluctuate although very rarely. So if their TdC is now 13/1, then they receive $52 mn for a beer. If they adjusted their TdC to market rates, say 14.5/1, then they would charge $58 mn. They are LOSING $6 mn for every beer they sell for pesos because their finance team doesn't know what they are doing.

Dollars in Mexican border towns are always worth less than in the rest of the world because of the dumping of drug profits. If a dollar is trading at 14.5 pesos interbank, it will trade around 14 at casa de cambios in border towns. This is due to the fact that it is illegal for a Mexican business to accept more than $100 dls in a transaction unless it is within 75 miles of the USA Border. Dollars are harder to spend in Michoacáand, Sinaloa, Guerrero, Zacatecas, than it is in Tijuana. Therefore, the cartels do not want dollars and dump them for less than market value at the border towns. That's why you see international spot rates outside the casa de cambio spread.

If HK was smart they would do the opposite of what they're doing now and charge in pesos and float the dollar. They could make millions in extra profit over the course of a few years because of the permanent arbitrage situation that exists in Tijuana.
