Posts: 1388Basicly speaking, many people understand English... at least they manage to understand.
Monterrey is a city of almost 4 million, you'll be surprised to see that at the well to do areas like the Colonia del Valle district, Contry, San Nicolas area, everyone can speak English.
Let me ask you one thing: Does that answer your question or my I ask, what do you mean by surroounding areas?

My main problem was that the link was to big, but I managed to compress it.
Check the map. You'll find hotels, restaurants... SCs of course and MPs
If you have any more questions... just shoot.

Posts: 25Thanks a bunch Amigomio!!!
Thanks for all of your advice. I'm not sure if it really makes a difference, but I am arriving on a Tuesday--not Thursday. My schedule should work perfectly for what I have in mind. I couldn't PM you because I'm not a paying member yet, and I don't have my internet CC handy at the moment. But you can communicate with me directly by sending correspondence to [Email address deleted by Admin]

Posts: 1388Sean... staying at the airport means at least like a 20-25 dll taxi fare to the downtown area of the city (make it like 20 dlls).
Ok, once at the downtown area, I suggest going to the lunch buffets of either the Prestige or the Obsession.
Window shopping: you can go to the Infinito and from there, there are at least 10 MPs at walking distance from the club.
In that area, the mean MP price is 200 pesos, plus tips (make it 200 pesos more).
Weekdays: you are coming in on a Thursday... a good day at any club.
Budget a 350 peso salida as a barfine and 1000 pesos for the girl.
Are private drinks and dances pretty much expected with the chicas before they will leave with you? Yes and no, depends on the club.
What about 2 girl parties? For that you would have to move to a different area, a little further away from the Infinito to a club called the Pasarelas.
When is the BEST time to hit the club? depends... afternoond shift clubs, like 7 pm. Nightshift.... 11 pm.
Is it easy to get taxi service to and from the hourly notel that I will be needing? You can get it at the hotel.
Is there a good, clean, safe, one in close proximity to Infinito? Yes. Many.
I remember reading something about an herbal remedy available at the farmacia that was worth checking out. Anyone remember the name?
Answer: M- Force. You can get it at the Farmacia Benavides drugstores... but you can buy at any drugstore any ED drug without a prescription. be it Viagra, Cialis or Levitra.
Sean, can you PM me?
I have made a Google map of Monterrey I can send you that will give you a total idea of the city....

Posts: 25Itinerary is set.
Ok gentlemen. I finally have a confirmed itinerary and thought that I would share it with you and take suggestions. I apologize if there are too many questions, but I'm trying to cover all of the bases.
I am flying in on March 4th, arriving around 1:30pm. I am departing to the States on March 6th around 5:00pm. I have all day after I arrive, after 6pm on day 2, and all day before I leave on day 3.
If I came into town during the day and wanted to do some window shopping, where should I concentrate my hunting grounds for MPs?
I will be staying at a Hampton Inn very close to the airport. I will be relying on taxi service to get around for personal exploits.
What is the average taxi price to get back and forth from the airport to the part of town where I will be on the prowl?
Is a weekday somewhat early excursion to Infinito worth doing, or would I be better served bouncing to a few MPs during the daylight hours? What is the typical protocol for MP service? Also, what is the expectation at the club leading up to a potential "salida"? Are private drinks and dances pretty much expected with the chicas before they will leave with you? What about 2 girl parties? When is the BEST time to hit the club?

I appreciate any and all feedback from you guys who know the lay of the land and sort of know how things shake down in that part of the world. Thanks for all of your help.

Posts: 1388All taxis are safe.
Average ride, 4 dlls... of course it depends if you are in the downtown area and you are moving within the same, but it should be no more than 6 dlls.

Posts: 1388Sean, we need more details on what you are looking for.
Do you favor MP's or SC's?
SC talking, almost all prefer the Infinito as it will be a good idea to check the moderate priced SCs on Madero Ave.
If you are staying at the downtown hotel disctric, the only girlfriendly hotel is the Sheraton Ambassador.
The Hampton on Gonzalitos Ave and the Four Points Sheraton are good too, but with some maneuvering (like coming on side doors or a mall pedestrian bridge... and so on).
Need to tell us that too, cause for example, all the hotels at the Colonia del Valle district do not allow any type of female companioship to the rooms.
And yes, there are tons of short term love motels here.
Sean: I guess this is your first time over here???
Just to point out, Monterrey is almost 4 million in pop. and offers many, many options.
And Monterrey is one of the safest cities in Mexico... still.
