Monterrey

[MonterreyDude]

Monterrey businesses are different from many places.

Since clubs do not cater to outside people coming to Monterrey, but almost totally to locals, business prices have remained stable for years.

But one thing is true all over. A girl sees an American, prices go up.

They try doing it, but monger should be aware of the true prices.

I don't know, that's an integral part of Mexican Strip Club Management 101. Remember, the more typical Mexican business model is to raise prices when business is down, not the other way around. I've seen them do it countless times. I've always thought it was a foolish business philosophy. But, none-the-less, that's what they seem to do in the clubs. Times are tough? Raise the price.Seriously? Ok.

Price hasn't gone up, nor it will for the meanwhile till Infinito crawls back to it's former glory.

Let me point out that the best time to get to Infinito is after 6:00-7:00 pm.

That's when the "divas" are in.

Many of the regulars like Priscilla, Maya, Dayana are there by 5:00 but the best get there later.

Also, you have to realize that you were overcharged. Full service goes for 300 pesos.

Price hasn't gone up, nor it will for the meanwhile till Infinito crawls back to it's former glory.

So I went, once again to El Inifito. This time I arrived at 2:45pm or so.

Bad idea, there was just one girl dancing, and no other on sight, I saw eight customers, and about 15 waiters. By 3:30pm there were two girls on the floor and one dancing.

By 4 pm there were more girls at the SC. I went up with Grettel, she is a 23yo blonde with big natural breasts, round ass, pretty face and good attitude. She does a very nice CBJ, she often makes eye contact while performing.

Her big balloons were on my face while she rode me cowgirl. She knows hot to please. While doing doggy I was able to appreciate her butt perfectly. So after 5 privados I finished off. She charged me $400 pesos, and $250 went for the privados.

I really enjoyed this time in Infinito with Grettel. I do not know if I can go back to Infinito before I leave, but next time I will try to go after 4pm, when there are more girls to chose from. The upstairs booths didn't seem any cleaner than the last week.

I hope this report is helpful for you.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the Sheraton. I used to stay at the Hampton Inn a few years ago, but it's a little out of the way for easy access to the strip clubs. The company has me staying near the airport right now, and that's totally out of the question.

I also stay at the Hampton too. Are these Mietras bars the ones off of Lincoln? I don't go up there often because I've heard the area is a little rough. Anybody have any experience in them? What are their names again? Do you go straight up Gonzalitos and then West on Lincoln? I would like to hear more about them too before I go up there.

I know you directed this at El Cazador but here is some clubs I go to. I prefer Casino and Bahamas as far as SC are concerned. Their prices are a little less than in Obsession, Prestige, Amnesia, Premier or Poisson but they are more expensive than in Infinto, Tangalay or Givenchy or some of the bars along Reforma. They have a privado room where the girls will do 'lap dances' but then they also have rooms in the side that are for more than just lap dances with a sink and are fairly clean compared to the privado's in Infinito or the other cheaper bars. These are less money than taking a girl out of the club. The price to take a girl for 5 minutes in privado is 100 pesos and to the other type room 1200 pesos for 40 minutes. I do not speak Spanish which is sometimes a problem but after 12 years in Monterrey for the average of at least a week a month, I know a lot of the waiters and door men which move from club to club a lot so usually I can get by on that. I know you wonder why I can't speak Spanish but there must be something that stops me from learning languages although I took 8 weeks of private lessons in Spanish and still next to nada. Anyway, I would recommend that if you are in town for only a few days and have the money, Obsession, Poisson or Prestige are the easiest. Some of the waiters there can speak English if they want to and the girls are the most constantly good looking (if you don't mind silicone). Still need to watch which girl you pick if you want the works and it will cost you. If you are on a tight budget and not afraid of a possibility (low in my estimation) of violent problems, then Infinite would be the best. In all my years of coming to Monterrey I have never had a serious problem but things have changed in the past 2 – 3 years. I have been searched by both the Federal police and Military in the past year (Obsession, Casa Blanca, Bahamas, Infinito & Sabino Gordo) but I probably average about 60 visits a year to the various SC or dance clubs.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trapped in kind of a self imposed routine of some of the same bars you mentioned. The expensive clubs like Poisson, Amnesia, etc. Just aren't eligible due to cost. That's why when he mentioned the Mietras bars, I figured it would be cool to hear something about bars I'm unfamiliar with. Mexican society is definitely plagued by the drug war, but I suspect male hormones trump fear by a long shot. I would bet Male harmones will prevail regardless.

Stick to business at Safi, but that hotel is not girlfriendly at all.

Considere that most of the hotels in Monterrey cater business men flying in for work, but still, family traditions prevail on all hotels here's.

With few exceptions, please consider in the downtown area the Sheraton Ambassador as an option. Now that one is girl friendly. And I believe the only one right now that does that.

I had a recent business meeting at the Hotel Safi, and would consider staying there. Not sure if it's girl friendly. The rates aren't bad for a five star hotel, I guess it's five star. Security is all over the place. Anybody know if I can get a girl past them on salida?

Le Bogosee says "Now I wonder if I could bring and use my own condoms?"

You can but you still have to pay for the condom which is 30 pesos.

As I wrote on my report I visited El Infinito quite early. 4pm or so. I didn't see any kind of safety issues, there were two police patrols in the area. One was watching the Sabino Gordo SC from across the street. The other was, er patrolling the area.

Something that caught my attention. While I was walking towards El Infinito, a guy approached one driver who had just parked his car on the street. The guy (civilian) asked the driver if he was going to the clubs there was a guarding service fee for his car of $25, and he should pay in advance to him before going into the clubs. The driver, asked him "there is a patrol around the corner, are you sharing with them the money?" That's all I heard. I don't know if the driver paid the fee or not. I didn't see the guy inside Infinito, I was not looking for him either.

I do speak Spanish but I didn't negotiate a single peso. The waiter told me $50 per 4 minute privado is the rate. The girls named their special services rates and I agreed. $300 pesos was a good deal for me.

They stripped even before offering her services. How was I going to say No?

Now I wonder if I could bring and use my own condoms?

I read now you want to make the peace with me no?

When did I ever start a war with you? How many of us have you accused now of being false screen names? I am getting tired of reading your accusations, and all your hype. I couldn't care less about making up with you. What's there to make up for?

I came back to Monterrey last Tuesday and that night went to Casino on Madero. It was pretty slow there and most of the waiters changed from the time I was there 5 weeks ago. Had a couple girls sit with me for a couple of drinks (100 pesos a drink) and then went back to the hotel. On Thursday I went to Infinto at about 9pm and they had the one stage open with about 20 – 25 girls working. Some of the waiters I know were working but they indicated that they were afraid and could hardly wait for their shift to end so they could go home. I talked to a couple of girls there and bought one of them a drink. Went to Tangalay from there and had a drink with a girl there (I recommend Infinto any time over Tangalay, drinks for the girls are 80 pesos and my bar drinks were 50 pesos compared to Infinito 50 and 24 pesos, plus the girls are better looking at Infinto). Tangalay was very slow with only about half dozen customers and maybe 12 girls working. I knew the nina there (girl which looks after the girls and cleans up after them) and she told me that even the girls didn't want to be there. Went to those 2 bars just to see how they were after not being in the area for a few weeks and I think it will be a few months before it wears off so that the bars continue as they used to be. I then went to a dance club a couple blocks up Carlos Salazar and didn't get back to the hotel until 3am. Made arrangements with a one of the girls to meet the next evening and from there went to Hotel Paris on Miguel Nieto. It's 180 pesos for 5 hours and that makes for a very relaxing time with lots of foreplay. Both of us fell asleep the last hour or so and then went back to the club for a couple of drinks. I find that the best girls to take out are these girls that hang out at the dance clubs but you need the time to get to know them and buy them drinks but the drinks are only 24 pesos same as for the guys. There are mostly not so good looking girls in these places but you can get lucky sometimes.

On Saturday night, went to the club on Carlos Salazar again and didn't get back to the hotel until 6am. If you have read my previous posts, you'll see that I used to go to Sabino Gordo a lot and I met several of the girls at this other club that I knew from Sabino's.

On Sunday night I went to go to El Infi but met a couple of girls I knew and went to the bar next door instead (the one on the left) which was a quiet little bar with a couple of girls singing and they were very good, not just good but very good. She even sang several songs in English and she knew English well. Still have not been into the new El Infi but the door man recognized me right away when I walked past. Maybe tonite or tomorrow nite.

Tell us about the strip clubs you go to. Hearing something about your experiences in the strip clubs as a Mexicano would help us all. Which clubs do you go to? Where are they? Drink Prices? Girls? Etc. We hear a lot about some of the clubs from the experts that frequent their favorites, like El Infinito, Casino, Harem, Azul, etc. But we don't here much about the strip clubs you've mentioned several times in Mietras (sp?). Start with those.[/QUOTE]I know you directed this at El Cazador but here is some clubs I go to. I prefer Casino and Bahamas as far as SC are concerned. Their prices are a little less than in Obsession, Prestige, Amnesia, Premier or Poisson but they are more expensive than in Infinto, Tangalay or Givenchy or some of the bars along Reforma.

This is really insane! I'am at a lose of words; Infinito is about 50 feet away from where the slaughter to place in Sabino Gordo. 19 dead! Now if any of you think it's safe to go to a strip bar, where last week the bar next to it had 19 people shot and several others injured, then have your head examined. This is no joke, Monterrey is having a WAR with crime right now, and these bars are prime targets. Go ahead, Monterreydude, tell me I'am wrong and that nothing is going on right now!

It is quite possible that had I been in Monterrey a few weeks ago, I would have been in Sabino Gordo although normally I don't get there until after 12am. The 21st person died Saturday night from the shooting a few weeks ago. The police found over 80 cartridges inside the bar and another 60 outside the bar from AK47's. Not trying to frighten anyone but it must have been a nightmare. I had drinks with one of the girls that were there that night when it happened and she's a mess emotionally. She was in the bano and a bullet came through the wall and just missed her. I knew over half of the people that were killed. I personally don't think that this fight will spill over into the SC's but that's my own opinion. Sabino was hit but so was El International a couple of times in the past few months and they are owned by the same people from what I've been told.

The city used to be on the go all of the time and I would be going to work and people would be coming out of the bars and that has really changed. You can hardly find a bar that is open 24 hours anymore.

Thanks Le Bogosse for sharing your experience.

Did you see any kind of safety issues near the area. The reason I ask is in another post, a member commented that his cousins was robbed of $400. 00 USD in a SC in the past week. He commented that all SCs are unsafe now.

Do you speak spanish. Did you have to negotiate with the girls, or 50 pesos is the standard rate there for the privados. Did they strip fully only after you decided to have sex with them.

As I wrote on my report I visited El Infinito quite early. 4pm or so. I didn't see any kind of safety issues, there were two police patrols in the area. One was watching the Sabino Gordo SC from across the street. The other was, er patrolling the area.
