I have noticed that a lot of Americans are either staying at their resort for the weekend or they are not traveling as far for nightlife. They are going to Changos or the Reef. When we were there in October, my wife's friends didn't leave their resort except to pick up shrimp from the Malecon. And we are not old folks. We are all late 20's early 30's.

The critical factor is numbers of people. I am guessing that visitors from the US are about 25% or less of 4 years or so ago. Mexican visitors are growing but they are big on mainly Semana Santa and summer time vacations. You can redecorate, do theme nights, that does not generate customers in the streets. Might increase market share but a share of a very small number, not enough to make a go of it. There are several markets, mainly: permanent residents and visitors and divide them each into Nationals and US folk. Each of the 4 segments probably are not attracted by the same things.

Yeah well most Americans are staying at those condos compared to the RV parks, hotels like Baja Cantina, and Fiesta de Cortez. We still stay at GDM on the Mirador. Those resort condos are to far from Mexico for our liking.

I don't see a edit on Jerry's post, where did the "sucks" come from? Are you messing around with what he actually said, or what?..... EDIT>>> Maybe not, I just looked and my edit is not showing.

That's it, for the most part it really is that simple. The reasons there are not more people is multiple, and could use a thread of it's own for a discussion.

If it's anything that I took personally it is your GENERALIZATION of the gringos who used to, or still do go to Penasco and also to Manny's! And what's wrong with 80's rock? It may not be my taste in music....but at least it is music!!!:moon:

You should read my sig....I think that it applies here....on opinions....that is, and your take on business models that do or don't work in Penasco!

If there are people several deep trying to buy drinks at Elixir....they're not drinking! Maybe the bartenders are super slow? I don't ever recall seeing people 3 deep at Mannys during the craziest spring breaks waiting to get served! Whatever happened to the "other" upscale "for the locals" place in the Mirador area....BUMAYE? Is it still open? And if so, how often? I believe it followed "your" business model years ago!

Why all the Elixr hate? Coco must be doing something right because Elixir has been open for about 4 or more years now. I prefer Elixir over anything in RP on a Saturday night. You cant compare Elixir and Boo Bar or Elixir and Mannys because they are completely different. Boo Bar is great place to hang out day or night to get some good food, drink a little and watch some sports. However, after 11pm at night its Elixir time and anyone in RP knows that. Elixir does well because they provide an atmosphere that you cant get virtually anywhere else in RP. Joe if you think people arent buying drinks at Elixir you're eating too many of those ~~~~BROWNIES~~~~!!!!!! Another thing Joe, how do you not consider Elixir to be an upscale bar? Its more upscale than any other club or bar in RP, so I dont understand why you would say that. Obviously if you're 52 Elixir might not be your venue but if you're 28 then it most definitely is. Saying that the Mexicans dont spend money at Elixir is the biggest ~~~BROMA~~~~ ive heard in a while. Like someone else said they arent in line for napkins!!!

Cocaine?

Hehe, just kidding. But yeah, Elixir is the one spot you can actually dress up while in Penasco after 10pm and not feel out of place. No flip-flops, shorts, baseball caps and "Free Mustache Rides" shirts to be found. And no Jimmy Buffet, Eagles, AC/DC, RCPM, etc. Not that I don't like some classic rock, but it's nice to show Penasco newbies that there's a side of the town other than the stereotypical beach bum "atmosphere," if you will.
