BTW, I would like to ask you a question.. I saw the Express Holiday Inn on Hidalgo street? Anyways, like you said, it's a 3 short block walk and chances are you will not run into anyone at night. However, do you always stay at the Holiday Inn Express? Sometime I get scared going to Marcellas because I end up walking to Guactemoc and takes me at lest 5 mins to catch a taxi.[/QUOTE]
I stay at different places around town. Depends on what I've got planned, where I get good rates, etc.
The hotel I'd mentioned before as being an easy walk to Marcella is a regular Holiday Inn (not an HI Express), and it's the one at Padre Mier 194, with one side of the hotel having an entrance on Padre Mier, and the other having an entrance onto Morelos (where it terminates at Hidalgo).
From this hotel, it's a very easy walk to Marcella, just down the hill 2 blocks on Benito Juarez, then take a left into Allende, which is a narrow street. I probably wouldn't do this walk late at night either, but on an afternoon, with lots of people on the street, I feel safe enough.

If going on taxi, do not tip the girls, cause your price, with just a few exceptions, will be 1800-2000 due to driver kickbacks.
And fairly said by a local, me, the girls at Misses are good, but not that top notch as they were when the business originaly opened.
Girls now tend to rotate around Versace, Regias, independent escorts, etc. and mainly they are composed of girls that want more money for less sex with customers.
The best? I don't think so.
Misses #1? Fame still surrounds this in-call still making it #1[/QUOTE]
Very interesting.
I've been wondering what *THE BEST* MPs were in Monterrey and whether or not there were any really high-end brothels.
I recall being in Monterrey several years ago (sheesh, maybe it was even like 10 years back), and there was a place called Divain that had VERY hot girls --- like model quality, and they had a very nice facility. I recall the damage being over US$300, so it definitely was not a cheap option.
Any thoughts on what the best places would be these days for a guy looking for a very comfortable session with higher class girl ?

Divain is still there, but 10 years are 10 years.
You went there at the very end of the era of the Monterrey Brothels, when not only Divain but Casablanca ruled the city and lap dancing was almost on the verge of erasing them from the face of the Earth.
High class girls? Same girls you can find working at the strip clubs and not mainly at MPs where they don't get the same ammount of money into their pockets.
And the damage 300 dlls.
Sorry to tell you Hot Dog, but the regular price was 1800 pesos, all included (room, girl's drinks, girls pay), just make the conversion at the exchange rate of those times.
I think you were ripped-off.
Well other options for higher end girls would be either Lucesazules or Bomboncitas regias, but those girls are way into the 3000 pesos mark per hour, and believe me, I don't think they are worth the money.
Mainly I have a strict discipline for these kind of things: Girl I haven't met, talked to her or seen her body language is worth zero to me.
That is why I don't care a lot for escort services that hide the girls faces (good for them, I wouldn't show my face in Monterrey... I understand the reasons) but I would never pay high amounts of money for girls I have never shaked hand with before, if you understand.
I preffer up to a point the MPs cause at least you can see them and pick them.
Might be scant seconds to do that, but I preffer that to no faces.

I disagree with you about many things, but on this matter I agree COMPLETELY.
It's bad enough dealing with "bait and switch" providers who send girls out who look NOTHING like their photos, but the risk is all that much greater when you don't show faces. Besides, an ugly face on a nice bod is worse than a pretty face on a chica who might be overweight or have small tits or a flat ass.
Always better to see what you're buying.

Thank you Hot Dog: ""bait and switch", that is the word I kind of lost mentioning in my post and providers in Monterrey excel in that.
Am sure HD, you've had a few experiences on your own with ""bait and switch": Escort services that have not updated their websites, nor their pics, so when a customer asks for "X" girl they send "Y".
Ever happened to you??

If the girl has a body hot as hell, and fucks like a porn star, I do not care too much if she lacks a pretty face....

Depends on the hotel you are staying.
If it's one of the big ones, any of the cab drivers bases at the hotel will charge you per hour to keep you on the good track.
Of course one thing is that same driver you get will only home in on the big expensive strip clubs that will give him nice paybacks.
Or the expensive MPs, every which way.

Have a cab driver take you to El Infinito and drop you off. Then just walk around that area and hit the clubs. There is plenty to do in a 3 block area.

My routine...
[QUOTE=Blue Skies]any recommendation for night of "fun", also contacts for a good dependable driver[/QUOTE]
I'm a little late with this reply, but maybe my reply will assist others with logistics and selections. My routine lately seems to have boiled down to the following agenda:
El Infinito
Givenchy
Tango
Beibis
El Cielo
El Infinito, Givenchy and Tango are all right next to each other on the East Side of the street. As you walk North from El Infinito, you will pass right by Givenchy, and then to Tango.
I feel compelled to mention some specific things about Tango, and also with respect to Beibis as well. Many of the girls that were formerly working in Parthenon, which would have made the top of my list in a position on par with El Infinito, was closed a few months ago, but is scheduled to re-open in February apparently. Many of those Parthenon girls are for the meantime now working in Beibis and Tango. In the past, I would not have wasted my time on either of these bars. But, literally, in the last two months, both have become major contenders for my attention, and deserve as much scrutiny as El Infinito.
El Cielo and Beibis are almost right across the street from each other. Walk North from El Infinito to Arteaga, which is two blocks North of El Infinito. Then walk West on Arteaga for about 1/8 mile. El Cielo will be on your left as you walk East on Arteaga. If you walk down the road that runs South on the North side of El Cielo, you'll find Beibis not more than a block away.
Many guys seem to visit Tangalay, which is right across the street from El Infinito. But, I have to be honest and say that I have never really been impressed with the place, not in over 10 years of giving the place a fair opportunity. It has a lot of patrons, and there are quite a few girls. But, I have always found that the majority of the girls there are not of the category that I find attractive, or many of them are kind of flabby, saggy, too heavy, too old, etc...I don't know...the thought of the place kind of disappoints me. I have tried giving it a chance many times. But, I just haven't ever really had any luck in there with respect to selection, or attitude.
With respect to safely walking between Villagran and El Cielo/Beibis on Arteaga, I have walked that area for ten years, sometimes at 3am in the morning and NEVER, EVER experienced so much as even a hint of any danger or threat. Walk with awareness, but so far, it's been safe.
With respect to reliable taxi drivers, again I have never, ever had any threat of danger or concern with hailing any of the taxis that are clearly marked as such and randomly selected off the street. The white taxis seem to be generally cleaner and a notch above the green ones, many of them having air conditioning in the summer time. But, probably 50% of the green ones are on par with the white ones with respect to condition of the taxi itself.
The only issue with taxis is the occasional driver that doesn't know where he's going, or the mildly annoying suggestion that they take you to alternate clubs where they earn kick backs, etc...but, I expect them to upsell for kickbacks if they can get away with it, and/or provided I am dumb enough to give them the chance.
If you mention going to El Infinito, and they start in with recommending other bars, just tell them that you don't want to go to Amnesia, Prestige, Obsession, Poisson, or anywhere else except the list I have revealed here. If they start in, I just tell them all of them are too expensive, and you have no money, "ellos estan demasiado cado, y no tengo dinero."
In finding El Infinito, I always tell them to take me to the intersection of Villagran and Carlos Salizar.. I don't tell them to take me to El Infinito, although 99% will know exactly where it is. But, by not mentioning a strip club by name, this eliminates their attempts to sway you into going to some other bar. Just tell them to drop you at the corner of Villagran and Carlos Salizar, and walk South on Villagran. They may have a suspicion about where you're headed, but they do not know for sure that you are not headed to a legitimate business in the area. And, while it seems kind of strange, most will not bring up the clubs unless you tell them that's were you're going, even though there is such a high concentration of them in the area. Most taxi drivers will not bring up that you might be going to a bar unless you mention them specifically...odd but true.
Certainly, if you want to go other places later, then no problem, I recommend it. But, visit the ones I mentioned first because if you were to miss them, you would be missing a major pool of selection. As alternates, and if you prefer a higher level of comfort, then I would recommend visiting Azul Tequilla, Pasarelas, Harem, and Casino.
But, I recommend that you start out with the bars I recommended in the first part of this post before moving on to the next (ie:more expensive) level.

I think that's happened to just about everyone at one time or another. To me, fat bodies and tattoos are total turnoffs. The worst "bait and switch" experience I had was when I called an escort service that showed pics of a lean and clean young body (no face shots) and the girl who showed up was slim enough, but when she took off her clothes, there was enough ink there to print a Tolstoy novel!
What do you do THEN? Do you send her packing after she's naked in your bed, or just roll with the flow??

Agreed.
There's a flip side to this though. If you're unfamiliar with a city, or even if you're just looking to expand a bit, letting the taxi driver recommend some new places (even if he does get a kickback) can be a good way to discover talent and new options.

I concur. When I go to Monterrey and take taxis I've found if you say you're going to Infinito the driver may feign not knowing or say it is really dangerous, the club is closed, and the girls are dirty and ugly and suggest a clip joint. If they say they don't know where it is I'll tell them the cross street. 100% of the time they'll take me to Infinito. This is a taxi driver tactic in almost every city I've been in but if you're insistent and don't look like a sucker, they'll take you where you want to go.
When I stay at the Sheraton, I'll tend not to take the special hotel taxis that are in front, I'll walk down the block to the street near the Metro station and take a regular taxi. It is cheaper and in the hotel cab they tend to be worse about trying not to take me to Infinito. I guess they think since I'm stay at the Sheraton I'm rolling in cash or something (I use my points from traveling for work to stay there for free). Since they don't have a meter, they'll end up charging at least double what the regular taxis charge.
I will take these taxis when I'm not going to the bars, but unlike USB, they see me as a lone gringo and will always ask if I want to go to a table dance club. I've also hired one of them for a day to go do things like go to the caves and for a tour around the city (and a mission to find a power adaptor for a Mac). The hotel taxis are generally bigger, cleaner, more comfortable and have AC with is critical in the summertime.

Amigomio,
I noticed in your Yahoo Groups photos some girls from a site called Conejitas. Is this an escort service? I was also wondering if any of the escort "handlers" from these agencies speak english?

I think yes.
Let me check it out.
