No need to discuss further in person with other dudes while I'm in the club LOL. Pet peeve of mine is when I'm chilling in the club scoping everything out and some random dude approaches me (as opposed to all the hot chicas he could be approaching) and tries to strike up an extended conversation.
Well why are you here on this forum talking to us then? Are you just out for your own selfish desires or do you want to connect with other human beings and enjoy life with people with this sad situation / life that we have left? Verdad bro.

Unlike Brother Mouzone's hesitancy, for whatever reason, of meeting up with fellow mongers, I would totally be up for that.

Kind of anxious about leaving my luggage at the front desk in another country honestly. Especially since some staff would have an idea of some contents from when they search luggage when you first check in. But if others have had good experience with this I'd feel more comfortable.
I've left luggage and my computer bag at HK, Cascadas, and Rizo de Oro. Good experience in all three (but I did check in / out to both Cascadas and Rizo). I would suggest that, if you're not staying in a Zona Hotel, you leave your stuff in the cloak room at HK. You give them your name and they give a claim ticket and hold until you pick up. The cloakroom is at the main entrance, immediately past security on the left. (This is also the area where you buy VIP cards.) should cost you around $5 unless you travel with a ton of stuff.
Safe travels!

Luggage Storage Follow up
Are you guys leaving the luggage at the actual club entrance to HK or the hotel front desk at Cascada / rizo? If at the hotel, is there any issues leaving luggage there for a few hours if you are not actually staying the night? Thanks for the help so far by the way, just want to make sure I'm on the same page.

I've done this by default whenever I get to Tijuana well before check-in time at Cascadas.
They aren't bad as I never had anything stolen form them, just be sure to collect you items by the next day or they might be send to lost and found at some Maseros house. FYI.

Mouzone,
I left gears in casa ada rizo and HK front desk many times, never lost anything.
I left an expensive bottle of Don Julio 1942 with HK front desk a few weeks, they never took a swig.
Calculate your own risks.

Parking at Otay

There are a couple of lots on Roll Street by the crossing. Weekend rates are 18.00 at the one on the left by 7/11 and 20.00 at the one on the right. I believe weekday rates are something like 12 and 15 dollars and this is for 24 hours. I usually park on the one on the left and have never ever had any problems. Once you cross and head out of Mexican immigration there will be white taxis. You don't want to take these as they charge about 20.00 to head down to Tijuana Central and Hk. Keep walking straight until you get to the main street and grab a Taxi Libre or other taxi. Do not pay them more than 12 dollars to take you downtown. The great part about going thru Otay, besides the cheaper parking is that you will rarely encounter a huge line coming back to the USA I usually return on a Sunday morning around 8 am and usually encounter no line whatsoever or a few in line where I have not had to wait more than 5 minutes. Once you exit the USA Immigration, get your car and go to Starbucks and get some coffee as you leave. Easy peasy.

Any advice would help.
Revolucion between Calle 6 why 7 is a bag hold store / hold place by the hour or day.

For parking anf walking just leave it at San Ysidro at one of the train station parking lots and take the train down to the border. You can catch a cab for 5 dlls to HK from there. Very easy and no fuss.

How much is the parking for the weekend and taxi ride to Hong Kong at Otay?
I have not been there in awhile but you could find parking for $10 for 24 hrs. And you don't want to use the taxis parked right there, they charge to much. You want to walk a little and hail a cab or use uber / didi.
As suggested if you are doing it to save money on parking, just park in the trolley lot. But if you are planning on returning to the USA Mid morning its probably worth using otay to avoid long waits.
