And how many people, brain-washed by the media into believing Tijuana was so dangerous, came up here to Las Vegas in October for an outdoor concert across from Mandalay Bay, and 550 people were shot at, with 58 dying of gunshot wounds. All thinking Las Vegas is one of the safest tourist destinations in North America!

Believe it or not, I feel safer walking the streets of Tijuana at night than right here in Las Vegas! I've made some 80+ trips to Tijuana over the years, and I've walked all alone around the Zona Norte district at night, until 3-4-5am, and never an negative incident.

In some ways, I'm elated to hear of people being fearful of going to Tijuana, for when I go there I never have to make a room reservation, there's always a room waiting for me at the Villa Zaragosa!

Ditto. The food is fabulous and the Tijuana Costco has these great Bailey’s Irish Cream chocolates that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

I have a global pass that includes sentri. No matter what the line, I can walk back over in 10 minutes.

It's really nice to walk past people that are waiting in a really long line, and be across the border in 10 minutes.

They don't pay any attention to you at all.

Nope. I've been within 15 minutes of the border many times but never crossed. I was always doing something else and there was never any reason to go into Mexico.

I have not crossed the border since '84, when I was 8. I'm fearful of the water situation down there, and of the lines for U.S. Customs.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Xolos or Xolas match, though.

Everyone drinks bottled water, and with a Sentri pass you don't have to wait in line.
