Club Paco Paco/The Ranch were the gay club pioneers of Vallarta, although they have now lost their alpha-dog status. One cover charge gets you into both. The main draw has never been the high-school-auditorium decor but the crowd; the female impersonators miming pop songs aren't too bad either. Back at the Ranch, strippers are the draw: policemen, firefighters, construction-worker types baring. almost all. Paco Paco's biggest selling point is that it outlasts the other gay clubs: it opens at 1 in the afternoon and doesn't close until 6 AM. The $5 cover gets you one national-label well drink.
