Other members have reported that Las Margaritas nightclub is really happening right now. There's a new CRT VIP goody at Bar Idem: VIP's get their second cocktail or beer free. Just the second one, not every other one. The CRT 3rd Anniversary is coming up on Sept. 3, with new activities (poker tournament, volunteer jam session at SL) as part of the festivities.
The robbery situation continues to be bothersome. Taxi fares have increased quite a bit, but now the licensed cabbies are supposed to wear a sort of uniform.
The Amon Plaza had some problems, including enacting an expensive chica guest fee ($25.00), but for the time being big discounts are being ofered on room stays through Nixon Netto at the casino, and there's no chica fee.
Circus has launched his new venture, "Circus' Cardboard Inns" (tm) for budget-minded travelers.
Sportsmen's Lodge has a recently completed addition and continues to offer a high level of service, although many of the faces have changed.
Casa Vino continues to get great reviews. At a discounted CRT VIP price of $110.00/night, the Executive Suite may be the best bargain for space and amenities away from the Gulch, and it's almost on top of Zona Blue.
Zona Blue by the way is set to open its own luxurious hotel suites. And, they have the occasional fist-fight.

JK. Eddie continues to be a fine host and boss-man, but sadly Carol is no longer behind the bar. Yee (Gee?) is behind the bar now, and a very nice lady.
Arias has been reelected President of the Republic.
Some Colombianas actually have the ovaries to ask $150.00 - $200.00 ST at the Blue Marlin.
Bar Sancaa, a local tico place has gotten some press. Farol Rojo is no longer an MP; it's now a ST hotel called "Hotel La Oficina."
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Oh yeah, one more thing. Californicationdude is still a wretched butthole.
