There has very few entries for Nogales on this board and for good reason. The expense of the clubs the narco threats and the general economy have kept most people away.

I found myself promising a neighbor to bring them down to Nogie for some Xmas shopping. The held me up on my promise and knowing how La Linea can be on a weekend, I told them only during the day and o a weekday. I pretty much expected the clubs to be closed at 11am, but was surprised when Obsessions,Boliero and club69 were all open.

The Line to the US was Loooong, even at 11 am on a weekday, about an hour to hour and a half wait. I told me friends that when they came to the turn call me on my cell and I'll meet them there. this was so I could spend more time in the bars.

As my friends did thier own thing I was free to wander Nogie for a few hours til out meetup at 2pm.

Both clubs to the east of the tracks were open but club 69 had two girls, Boliero had one, so I skipped out of them and headed towards Obsession and Regis.

regis was dead also. One working girl but she was not bad, but I decided to head across the street to Obsessions.

It was open at noon and I got there at 1230 and no customers but about 3-4 dancers, I decided to kick back there and wait for my call not really planing to partake of any entertainment outside of a few laps and maybe a ficha or two.

Laps were down $5 and fichas were $11. I argued with the manager that fichas were only 10 the last time I was here (I lied, I didn't remember, it was a year ago) but I got my way and he lowered them to $8 as I was the only customer.

He then brought out a pretty spinner, named Crystal who after I bought a lap and the a ficha had me unzipped and playing in no time.

After the regular amount of time (5min) came the "pitch" for the privado. A hour for....$140!!!!. "No way" I told them, "too expensive'. I countered with $70 for a half an hour in the room, not the booths. Well we went back and forth and eventually came to an agreement for $100 for an hour with a 10 tip to the masero, but not the girl..lol. Had a good time non rushed..on a bed and not a chair or closet!! and a BBBJ with every position promised and fulfilled. Better yet, Two trips to the plate and no knock at the door. I looked at my phone and we pretty much used the whole hour and about that time I got my phone call, walked around the block and met my friends who had been standing in line for the last hour.

When asked what I had been doing for the last hour or so (no bags or gifts) I told them I was treating myself, with a cryptic grin on my face.!

The cost:

One promise fulfilled, a short 20 minute wait to get a cross la linea, a young pretty blond spinner, for an hour of unbridled lust, and a grand total of about $140. Not TJ prices and a lot more than Nogie was in the heyday, when it would have bought you three different chicas in a broom closet.

Prices are coming down, a bit, but have a way to go until I would be happy. But for a time killer, you cant beat it.

Dropped down to Nogie on Friday Night (5/27). Street in front of Bolerio was closed for big ten day party leading up to Cinco de May. Live music, lots of food and tecate vendors and lots of uniformed police present.

I made the usual rounds of Bolerio, Studio 69, Obsessions and St Regis. Bought a few lady drinks, did one privado, but not really attracted to any girl I saw in clubs. Only spinners were wandering around street party. Crossed border shortly after midnight and drove home.

NOGALES STILL SUCKS, but you already knew that.

On the good side, I never percieved danger and there were many people out at night.

BTW, I am white american male, 6 foot, 210 pounds, so got the usual tout attention.
