I have been a member of this site for a couple of years and I have never written a trip report before. So I figured it's about time that I write one. Hopefully it will be as informative as many of the previous reports have been.
It had been about 6 months since my previous trip to Nogales. I had become bored with driving down there. It seems there were no new girls and with the big price increases, it wasn't worth the time. So I firgured what the heck, lets see if anything new was going on down there. I left Phoenix on Friday, May 14th and arrived about 3 hours latter. I usually get a motel room on the AZ side. I stay at the Motel 8. It's clean, quiet and not too expensive. I should get a room in Mexico instead of the US because I shouldn't be driving after a night in Nogi. But nothing has happened yet (knock on wood). I usually stay until Sunday and then drive back.
And now for the informative stuff. I usually try to hit all of the clubs at least twice. I apologize for not having too many names of the girls. But with way too many beers, I don't tend to remember too much. Besides, even if I didn't drink I don't think I would remember. With 150 decibel music and those crazy names the girls come up with, I'm not supprised I don't remember. Anyway, here's what I found:

Placers: Pretty much the same old stuff. It was really slow on Friday night. Maybe about 12 girls working and about 10 customers at around 10:30. A couple of new girls but nothing special. Jennifer works there now but goes by the name of Jessica, she used to work at Rio's. She speaks good English and is friendly. She has a tatoo on the small of the back that says "Ramirez", if that helps anybody to remember her. Kelly has a fantastic body, she also works at Cherry's. Placers used to be really good but it seems now just to be average in terms of the quality of the girls.

Lord Black: I have not been in this club for awhile, but was surprised at what I found. It was also slow but there seemed to be more girls and the quality was very high. My favorite girl in all of Nogales now works there. Samantha, not the "famous Samantha" but the other one. She used to work at Rio's. She still looks fantastic and has the best smile of any girl down there. I just wish I knew more Spanish so I wouldn't feel like a dumb ass when she sits with me. Samantha is a really sweet girl. There were at least 5-7 other girls that were really cute. Another girl was Elizabeth, she too has a great body. Although she was kind of strange in that she didn't want to do any table dances. It took awhile to talk her into one.

Boletos: I went to this club twice, once in the day and was at night. Both times were very good. I think this club opens at 2:00 (?) in the afternoon. There was a great selection there in the afternoon. Much, much better than Cherry's. 10-12 girls with 7-8 of them being really good looking. I found that the daytime here had the best selection of anytime at any club. The daytime was not busy, but the night was. OK, I know that Placers, Lord Black and Boletos have ridiculous prices now for privates, but what the hell are they doing charging me $4 for a beer!?! That's what it cost when I go to a club in Phoenix! And another thing, they now time the table dances? I had this little guy stand next to my while I was getting my TD looking at his watch the whole time. "Time's up!" WTF? I don't know how long it was, but it sure as hell was not very long! Is it me or is the DJ there the most annoying guy in Nogales. I think the only engrish he knows is "Come on you mother fuckers....show me your pussy baby....pussy, pussy....you mother fuckers!" But I guess after many beers it becomes a little humorous hearing this guy say that over and over again. He did the some thing when he worked at Placers and Lord Blackes before that.

Rio's: Very slow for a Saturday night. Not many girls. Monserrat was there in all her glory, but not much else. The best ticket seller in town, Miklo, was not there. Bummer, I usually like to sit and BS with him. He's really a friendly guy and quite helpful.

Obsession's: What the hell happened here? On a Friday night around 1:30 there was a total of 6 girls there. And all were not too good. The best looking of them was Azul, but that's not saying too much. She speaks good English so I talked with her for awhile. Not many customers. This club was making such a good comeback. I hope it was just a bad night.

Cherry's: What the hell happened here? part II. This was always one of my favorite clubs. Small, dingy and not too clean, but there was always some good looking women here. There was nothing here. No Alondra. No Leslie. Without those two I was having big breasts withdrawals! There were a lot of guys there but only one cute girl working and she was very, very busy.

Lipstick: Not much changed here. Three customers, including me. Maybe 2-3 decent looking girls. But I saw something here that was new to me in Nogales. A black looking girl named Naomi was dancing on stage. I've never seen any black girls working down there before so I figured she was from the US. She is really cute with a tight little body. After she finished she came over and sat on my lap. To my surprise, she's Mexican! She said she's from Hermosillo, but looks like an African American. Very nice surprise! I don't know about anyone else, but I do not like ticket sellers here. They always try to rip me off. I had some pesos and this guy tries to tell me that it is 20 pesos to a dollar. I don't know what his name is but he's a little guy with a short goatee, maybe around mid 40's. He tried to do this twice! They also time the TDs here. You go upstairs and sit in a tiny alcove above the entrance. When time is up a little red light goes on. I don't understand it, when your club sucks and nobody goes there, why do they become more expensive with less quality? I'll never understand Mexiconomics!

Fernis: Improvements here. Gone is the crappy carpet replaced with crappy tile. However, that is all OK because I was able to overcome my big breast withdrawals with the help from Catia. She's got some great big titties that are fun to play with. A couple of other decent looking girls here, Ruby and Alexa. I don't go there too often as I am always the only gringo there. But if things keep improving, I might stop by more often.

Comments: Overall a good trip. I think that Nogales has improved since my last visit. I think it is a buyers market there because there are many good looking girls but few customers. All of the workers said it has been a slow year. On Friday night there was a big concert in town, Tigres of the North, or something like that. That was the given excuse for being slow on Friday night but Saturday night was not much better. Best clubs right now are Boletos (day and night) and Lord Blacks. Unfortunately, those are the two most expensive clubs in town. I wanted to check out the message parlor but totally forgot about it. Didn't make it to Titanic.
Hopefully this is informative for you (at least maybe one person). Now that things are a little better, I hopefully will be able to go back to my monthly Nogales visits. Thanks for reading my trip report. Have a fun, safe time in Nogales!

I'd have to agree with your assessments on just about everything (I was there Sat night), except for one - I definitely don't think Nogi has improved over what it was 6 months ago. Last night was about the sorriest Nogi visit I've ever had, as far as the clubs themselves go. As for it being "a buyer's market" - I'd say that's true if you're working directly with the girl. But the club owners seem to have gone wacko.

UPDATE!!! NO MORE SEXO IN THE PRIVADOS IN NOGI!!!

i went around and checked things out this weekend.. All of the clubs (except fernis) had the doors taken off the privados.. A new Rule, the ticket sellers say..

Rios -- doors taken off, $8 table and $10 private dance, but no sex at all... you have to set up a hotel date with the dancers...

Cherrys - still was able to get a good deal, $42 for twenty minutes upstairs, but the doors are off upstairs. HOWEVER.. you can still work things out with the ladies, since you have privacy upstairs...

Bolierios-- no privates at all, and they charged $22 FOR A TABLE DANCE!! what the fuck is that??

Lord black- same thing, no privates, you have to work out a deal, get a private room for $220 .. crazy..

Fernis-- still had the curtains closed, didnt have a chance to ask around about the privados..

So... hopefully, this is only temporary, because the only extras you are going to get is to get the private room.... or get a hotel date..

That's curious - the privados at Rio's definitely had doors late Sat night (about 2AM). And it was business as usual at Lipstick, doors and all.

that is really odd, because i was there around 9pm and the doors were definately off.. the whole night was really crazy..

Was at Placers arund a month ago. Jessca was my choice. Nice body, friendly, but only a handjob

I was in Nogi the weekend of May 22nd and 23rd, and I had the same expirence with no sex in the private rooms. I asked around, and was told that it had something to do with political event or election or somesuch, it was loud in the club, and I didnt catch the details. I was told, however, that things were expected to return to normal in a week or two. Anybody been down to confirm things are full swing again?

Well, things didn't return to normal in a week or two. All the "privados" are out of business (the doors have been removed). Now most of the clubs have a bedroom (or two or three), but they charge more for those. And legality is questionable - I suspect it's just a matter of time until the police shut those down too - they can't be ignorant of what's going on, unless they want to be (and that remains to be seen). If you don't mind paying the cost, bar fines are always an option.

anyone know of any brothels that are in nogales or sonoita or phoenix run by madames catering to Mexicans and Americans. thanks

anyone been to nogales recently-some of these reports say the that private dances now have no doors-is this still true?- also is rio still doing 2 for 1 on tuesday's?

I was down there last weekend. $20 privados are a thing of the past. In most clubs the privado cubes no longer have doors, and the clubs that use them now use them for lap dances. I did see people still going upstairs at Placers, but I didn't take anyone up personally. A manager there told me they were still offering sex in the privados. When I asked wasn't that illegal since the crackdown, he just shrugged his shoulders to say "so?"

Not sure about Rio's, but all the other clubs claim you can still get sexo in the club, but they charge you for 25-30 minutes in private, and the price has gone up accordingly (although it's probably no more expensive than 30 minutes in the old privados).

So in short, the clubs haven't changed too much, sex is still available, albeit in a litle bit different manner, but the days of busting a quick nut on the cheap have gone the way of the dodo.

RE Leslie at Cherrys, the older waiter (Benjamin) told me she's moved - like to Mexicali or something - gone - and she was HOT!

This really bums me out about Nogi. For those living in Phoenix it was one of the quickest, easiest ways to let loose and have a great time. Anyone been down there since the last Sept post who can tell us if that is still the current situation? I was planning on going down there in three weeks but if the current situation is the case I won't go.

Thanks.

things are sort of back to normal, mickeyd.. the problem is that is you want to have SEXO in the clubs, be prepared to shell out at least $100-150 for about 15-30 minutes in the room, depending on the girl.. sexo in the privados are pretty much banned, you have to get a private room.. update on the favs.. monserat is still at rios, leslie is in hermsillo, alondra is "retired" so is the famous baby from lord black , she is retired as well.. however, big titted catia is still working at fernis... and big booty abigal is working at cherrys hope this helps

Thanks for the update Latinalvr. I just love latin women and this used to be adult disneyland for me. So can you do anything in the privados anymore?

Thanks.

from my understanding, the "privados" are just glorified "lap dances in rooms without doors" .. that is the best way to explain it.. with all the strip bars, you are going to have to shell out at least $100-$150 min for sexo (15-30 minutes) in a private room, somewhere in the club...

I live in Tucson and miss my Nogales trips. Nothing had changed the last time I was down 6 months ago. Too bad. You would think the bar owners would figure something out before they shut down.
