    Last year for tipping, instead of US we bought Pesos at the outdoor exchange place across the street. Too bad she ripped us off and I didn't know til we got back to the resort, (I didn't want to count it on the street). This year I ordered Pesos from our bank. The exchange rate is WAAYYYY better than changing to US dollar.

    Yes they do but the rate is extortionate . best to use the place over the road from TTR but make sure you count it in front of the cashier. :daveandmo:

    So lets say we bought Pesos in the U.S. How much is a good tip for drinks for Pesos? Think of it as how much you are tipping in dollars? Last year we gave them a dollar for every trip to bar and had some great drinks.

    The exchange for Canadian dollars into US sucks big time. Canadian to Peso is what we are going to do. Avoiding Vegas this year - exchange just makes it to expensive. Sorry Dean Martin Drive!

    Is it best to get pesos in the states prior to leaving? I assume that is an option.
