Well I found the replacement for the Crystal Palace. It's name is Los Arbolitos. It is located north of calle 13 on Luis Encinas about 8 blocks. It is on the east side of the road.

It works on the dance hall format similar to CP. But it is much bigger. It has 2 seperate bar areas, decorated in early rustic mexican bar motif. Right down to the super drunk Mexican guy sitting down at the bar weaving in his chair.

The women are about on a scale of -2 to 2. And they come in all ages. The viejas out numbered the young ones. I spoke to one vieja that was 49 and celebrating her birthday. She introduced me to her daughter that was also working there.

Someone told me that it was $50.00 USD to go upstairs but I didn't confirm.

This place is a little on the rough side, but on par with the old CP.

Cool can't wait to find the 1 hottie there.

I stopped by after work the on Friday. We got there about 7PM. There were about 9 chicas there when we arrived ranging from -2 to 2 again.

Ended up staying to about 11PM. The girls got a little better looking as the nite went on, with the help of the lights getting turned down and the beer we drank.

I spoke to the bartender Armando who speaks great english (was suprised) and he told me that the lady drinks are cost plus $2.50 and the price of the girls varies.

There isn't any onsite service it is all offsite. He said that the price was about $50.00 per hour. He mentioned that most of the girls have an offsite hotel already rented so that they can work. He said that they may attepmt to hit you up for the cost of the room but generally that is already paid for.

As the night went on, more guys showed up and a couple of more girls. Grupo Pisces began playing around 10PM and we danced with some of the girls. Turned out to be a nice little party.

THIS PLACE IS OFF THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED. I WOULD CONSIDER IT SAFE BUT IT IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT TO SEE A PROBLEM. THERE WAS PLENTY OF SECURITY ON SITE.

Don't expect to see a bunch of models here either. But expect to find an alternative to some of the overpriced strip joints in town.

Is the Los Arbolitos still open ? Is so, where is it located exactly. Thanks
