Those may not be issues for you, or for an experienced guy, or someone who travels there frequently, but for some they are.
I just assume that anyone who is asking which currency they should use is capable of understanding exchange rates.

Depends on the front desk clerk. If she's a street girl and they know her, it's usually not a problem. If the clerk is lazy (or thinks she works in the club) he may just ask her name. But he may ask to see an ID and a health card. I don't know if a tip will get you past that check.
Most escorts won't go to Cascadas or Rizo, and if she's a civilian she may not want to go to a hooker hotel either. I've taken girls from other clubs to my room in Cascadas after their shift and had no issues.

Those may not be issues for you, or for an experienced guy, or someone who travels there frequently, but for some they are. Dividing by 18.5 is not the simplest thing in the world and unless you want to pull out your phone to calculate every exchange it's easy to just think of it as about 20 to 1. Until you end up giving a girl 1600 pesos ($88) rather than $80 she initially asked for. Or else you decide to haggle and offer 1500 (that's less than 1600, right?) and it's still $81.

The object is to metabolize your food as quickly as possible and not have it slow you down. Can't if you dilute it with liquid. Combining protein and carbs demands different sets of enzymes for each, again slowing digestion. Complex carbs (brown bread, whole grains) are great for sustained energy, but I like pure protein, a steak or lean meat. My favorite is dessicated liver, vitamin b complex, see with Rose Hips, and calcium citrate to keep from cramping.

It's just that they mean mug me when they say the price in USD and I pay in pesos, not that I care too much since I literally forget the moment I enter and start seeing girls.
80 sounds like what I usually pay for a beer as well.

I am not from Hispanic background and I speak basic Spanish. For me when I try to by in pesos, I don't feel discrimination, but maybe more of an annoyance since I don't know the numbers that well and the person that speaks Spanish doesn't know how to say it in English.
I know what the important numbers for negation for girls when taking them up, but after that when I am trying to buy tacos or at a store and the say the price in Spanish and I have this look that I am trying to translate it in my head that are thinking, " why didn't this guy just bring 3 dollars."

I think dollars are also better as well. I always bring pesos since I'm Mexican and cover guy usually gives me "that look" as well as some meseros here and there. Girls are fine and do not care, probably because the $20 bill peso is $2 pesos worth more than 1 $US. I also do not care about those $2 pesos because whatever. But yeah there's definitely some degree of discrimination from the people there if you bring pesos in my experience.

The argument about whether or not you are better off paying in dollars or pesos would take many pages. In general, though, unless you are good with math and converting on your feet, you'll *probably* be fine sticking with dollars. The major bars like HK use the dollar as the baseline and adjust their peso prices as the value changes, so dollars are fine there. Generally you aren't going to save a lot by using pesos and you may screw yourself or end up stuck with pesos after your trip, so it's your call which way to go.
Street girls will *usually* be better off paying in pesos, but not always and YMMV.

So yeah, Kity is a sweetie. I also had a good experience with her recently sans condom. I wonder if that is her standard practice?
She does sans condom? I'll pass.

One other thing that the desk does is to forget to tell you to keep the receipt of your room deposit. On my last trip, the poor guy in front of me could not find his and they wouldn't refund his deposit. I had mine by accident, but I didn't recall them ever telling us we had to keep that hand-written piece of paper as proof of deposit. Fuckers.

Mini fridge
When I stayed in cascades for 2 nights my mini fridge was locked. I don't think I could even open it up so I couldn't take any drinks even if I wanted to LOL. An easy fix is to take a pic of the drinks once you leave the room to check out. Then show them the pic and the time you took it. They wouldn't be able to dispute that.

I never drink from mini bars, but when I checked out on Saturday the clerk in the north lobby started to tell me I did. He backed down when I pushed back (politely). Maybe this is just a trick they try when they think they can get away with it?
