As for Squid Row, and other iconic party places, there are a couple of factors that have combined to change the paradigm. First off, places like Suid Row, and The Giggling Marlin, along with their ilk, were the super powers of partying as far back as 25-30 years ago. Cabo is not what it was back then. Developers have made it a far more upscale destination. Huge amounts of visitors are of the type that would rather dine at Ruth's Chris Steak House than get "faced" at Giggling Marlin or Squid Row.

Secondly, The rowdy joints attracted the "spring break" crowds, that are much less likely to travel down because of the violence that has been reported about Mexico's drug war.


Interesting. And I understand about Giggling Marlin (a holdover) which seems (seemed) less true about El Squid. Stayed more relevant (and waayyyyy more popular).

When we were there recently, what was lacking was definitely not the crowds, it was the party atmosphere created largely by the MC on the scaffold. At this point he adds pretty much nothing. Pretty strange that they so totally lost track of a winning model.
