  Biggest club in Tijuana and the only vegas style club they have. Prices are cheap compared to American club prices. Bottle of grey goose is $100. They charge a $5 cover for both guys and girls which sucks cause they charge it even if you get a bunch of bottles.
  
  They play mix of electronic and reggaeton and some old school songs too. Girls are hot here. Its 18 & over to drink in Mexico so you have a bunch of college kids from San Diego that cross to come here. Security is super strict when letting you in. They frisk every part of your body and dig deep in your pockets. It's good though cause it is México and you don't wanna get stabbed or shot in a club here.
  
  Pay in pesos you'll end up paying way less. They take advantage of Americans by giving a super low exchange rate so you end up paying way more if you pay dollars. The bouncers in front will try to extort you for cash. $20 to let you in cause they say your shoes are not acceptable, another $20 to let you in if you don't wanna wait in line. $10 to rent a shirt if they say your shirt isn't acceptable. They have a guy renting shirts on premises haha I guess what can you expect it is México after all.  Reserve a table ahead of time to avoid the lines and the $20 bribe to let you skip the line.
  
  Another important tip especially for Americans planning to come here: be sure when the waiter brings your bill, compare the prices they put on the bill to the prices listed on the menu. The waiters will try to take advantage of you since they know you're American and the prices will usually be inflated and not be what it is on the menu. I've caught them a bunch times try to do it to me. So I make sure they correct it before I hand over my money you need to do the same too. It is Mexico and everyone from the police to the street vendors to the waiters all try to capitalize on the Americans with dollars so just be careful when paying for stuff.
  
  I saw some other reviews say that their bottles were already opened when they got to them. Every time I've ordered here they bring me a bottle and even show me the seal before they open it. Never experienced a bottle not being sealed when it got to me. And besides if it was cracked open already why not insist that it was opened and bring you an fresh one? Doesn't make sense haha

  Update: went back here this weekend because my group of friends was set on going. Worst mistake possible. They gave us a table and when the waiter came over he said we were in the VIP section and therefore had to spend more money. He wouldn't take our order unless we hit a certain amount. He would not tell me what that amount was. We ended up getting 3 buckets of beer and he charged me $1,800 pesos. Mind you, each beer is $40 so it should have been $1,200. When I asked him why it was more he said it was the tip.
  
  So yeah... never coming back.

  If I could give 0 stars I would. If you are LGBT do not go to this nasty club, I go clubbing in Tijuana all the time and have never had an issue with my ID, I came here with a group of friends and the bouncers did not let me in because I am trans. My friend told me the reason was Bc they have had "issues in the past" with trans people. Super sad that in this era we are still dealing with Transphobia !!! Anyways, there's way better clubs in the area to go to :)

  Don't waste your time or money here. They are transphobic and do not allow men/ women who identify as whatever they feel inside. Don't even even bother. Bouncers are disgusting and rude and told my trans friend to strip her clothing to prove she is a "real" woman.
