Having a card is gonna get you free cover into the clubs during certain hours. I've gotten one every year. I usually get the Panamaniac card 'cause I like the clubs and the schedule on that one better. There will be people walking around down there selling them. They usually go from hotel to hotel talking to people about them. Their usually at Walmart selling them in the parking lot too.

For more info on the panamaniac card:

For more info on the Gold card:

Personally, I'd wait to get one down there. It's a little more money, but then you can see what everyone else is getting.

well........

Well.........I hate to say it, but most of you are loosing money, rather than saving any!! And......you have to go to what ever club it says on that given night! I like the freedom of going where ever I want, when I want!! EVERY club in pcb offers 5-10 dollar cover from 7-9 everynight! So.........go early, get your hand stamped, then leave! That simple! Your saving money! Beats buying that little card that is a rip off, and...........most the time they want you there early as hell to use it. But, if you feel more secure with the card, by all means, buy it, its your money, not mine!!! Id just rather save mine! Enjoy

For minors, you're lookin' at probably a $10 cover from 7-9. Over 21 is more like $5. The card costs $40 for 7 nights. Without the card an 18 year old would pay at least $70 in cover. With the card it's $40. Everyday has a bar from 2-4 and then a diff. bar from 7-9. There are a couple nights where they have one bar 7-9, then a different bar 9-11. So you would actually be saving more than that. Plus, don't forget about the free plastic mug and the t-shirt. Woo hoo!! I don't know, to each their own, but I think it's a good deal.

Last year, we got like 20 people to buy a card from one of the salespeople and he hooked us up. He bought my room a case a beer and we got to skip to the front of the line a couple times. So befriend your salesperson, and they'll probably make it worth your while.

I agree

Yes, minors it is an ok deal!! Cause if you go into the club, you have to stay in there!! But, if your 21 or over, not a good deal! enjoy

It's important to be well informed before you go down there, and I think that these are some good questions. I went with a buddy of mine a couple of years ago, and we ended up paying $25 to get into Club La Vela, because we didn't know about the 7-9 special. Needless to say, we only made that mistake ONCE.

If you're over 21, there are definitely some perks. If you're under 21, good luck.

I think the deal with the hand-stamp at Vela is, if you're under 21, you can get your hand stamped for $5 or $10, but once you come in the club, you can't leave unless you pay again. I'm not sure, but I think that's how it works.

I guess that would explain why I see so many drunk 19 year olds stumbling around the club by 10 o'clock. :D

yes.......

Most clubs offer this if your 21 or over!! When ever they open for the night, just go early, get it stamped for a cheap price, then leave and come back when ever you want! Its that simple!! But, if your under 21, your screwed!! Unless you buy the gold card and want to wait in line from 7-9, which by the way 9 times out of 10 you wont get in for that price anyways, if your in the back that is. But, what ever floats your boat!! Enjoy

ANd now that I think about it, this is probably the most realistic answer.
