    i also would suggest not including any money for taxi at all. the bus rides down town are half the fun and will take you anywhere for less than a buck. They do NOT give change though so you'll have to get pesos unless you'd like to be ripped off each time! lol

    It's Mexico. Use pesos.

    And don't take all that cash with you. I still don't understand that. There's no reason to risk losing your money when using an ATM card is easy and has the best conversion rate.

    for one week $1000 should be more than enough.

    if your hotel is all-inclusive you'll need less.

    Clubs are around $40-50USD/night plus tips.
    bus is US$0.75 each ride.... cheapest, easiest way to get around.

    If you figure +/- $100/day you'll be in the ballpark.

    $1000 will let you do a couple extra excursions/buy a few rounds at Slices.

    Good info bro I appreciate it.

    1 more question.. Food? My resort is all inclusive but we opted out of that so I will be needing to buy my own food. Are the prices reasonable around there and is there any places you can recommend for cheap food that won't get us sick? thanks!

    My Dad was just here and opted out of the All inclusive which was $12 extra a day and the breakfast alone was that price. Buying food in the Hotel Zone is a little pricey. So if your room has a kitchenette, go to WalMart or Chedraui. Nothing in the HZ should get you sick...maybe a random street vendor downtown, but I have yet to have any issues.
