Does anyone have details about the police busting over 150 girls on the strip in Boca Chica and shaking down some tourist. Even going in to some hotels to arrest some chicas.

This happens periodiacally, they extort what money and sexual favors they can and a few days later they are all back.

I think this may be a little different. I hear most of the bars were closed as well.

Even when that happened before, it didn't last long or amount to a hill of beans.

damn!!! i loved ruta 66! (it was called something else last year when i was there...i have promised to bring DJ flaco some really progressive house music). I never saw many sankies or sankettes there tho...a couple here and there (go figure). Most were by that horrible disco cosmos.
II am concerned with so MANY of the bars being closed. Hell...there aint a heck of a lot to do in BC....i just always enjoyed watching the whole scene from afar....and playing pool with flacko and juan (the mute guy)
hopefully it will all be restored back to somewhat of its cheesy self.....c'mon...a SANITIZED boca chica....why bother?.....the beach is ok and the guys are great...and if you know where to got the food aint bad either.
with that said....a great place for budget minded vacationers with some boom boom on their mind

HB, these aren't my hangouts though we would eat at the Swiss place a fair bit before the prices went up 300% as it is a restaurant not really a bar at all, and I am surprised to read they were closed as a result. The bars are not my cup of tea, or hanging out on Duarte at all at night. That said they did this last year, Gibis was Madhouse, under it's old name, same owners, and after the PanAm games they all reopened. As they will again.
With the peso going up and the prices not going down I haven't been in the DR since Labour day and have no plans to visit until things make sense there.
i dont get it
i just really dont get it.
they just have totaly closed duarte down at night?
As you know i am not a chica chasser....but uh...what are we going to do at night in B.C. at night?
The nightlife is sorta lame....but i like the beach.
Just wondering as i will be there shortly with some friends and if lame old duarte is closed.....what then? i am not a gambler...so the casino at hamacca is out.

Sounds like this would be a good time for you to spread your wings and fly! Grab a cab and check out places in Jaun Dolio, San Pedro or Santo Domingo.
A great place for your tastes would be the Chocolate Bar in Jaun Dolio. A couple of other places are Guilla's Cafe on Monday nights when they have a band and Oasis Bar. I can't really help you too much with suggestions for SD or SPD because places come and go and I am out of the swing of things there for a while.
I would not worry too much about Boca Chica being too quiet because these busts and closings have happened many many times over the years and they are up and running after things blow over. By the time you get there things should be hopping again.

For having fun and/or not getting mugged I would advise an average tourist to skip both Juan Dolio (boring) and San Pedro ( not so safe for Gringos) - the capital is an option anyway if you are south.
fine replys for me personaly...but i am not thinking of myself.!!!!!! right now i have about 3 guys (one of whom is a best friend) and now i am hearing duarte is tottaly closed up? this just seems stupid.......And i am seriously thi nking of changing my travel plans to Trininad
So Boca is shut down, big deal. Santo Domingo is within striking distance. Enjoy the beach in the day and move around a bit in the evening.
As far as Trinidad is concerned I dont think that there is any comparison, beach or "entertainment" wise.
In fact where do you think some of the "entertainment" in Trinidad comes from.

its more my friends that i am worried about. i am just cool sitting my growing butt on the beach. My best friend is only going for a few days.....and most likely will be looking for a sank.
Myself....i just wonder about duarte. can this crackdown be good for the tourist trade??

This does smell of a money grab,as I believe all of the businesses mentioned are swiss/foreign owned, and the bars closed were certainly not puta central, as a matter of fact they were the few bars you could go into to get AWAY from the street rats. Quite interesting indeed.
