Tijuana: the Prohibition city and the origin of Mexican gaming
Tijuana owes much of its entertainment history to United States Prohibition (1920-1933), when thousands of Americans crossed the border every weekend to drink alcohol and gamble at the city casinos and racetrack. Agua Caliente Racetrack, inaugurated in 1929, attracted Hollywood celebrities like Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Charlie Chaplin, becoming one of North America most glamorous leisure destinations. That border entertainment tradition for the American market is Grupo Caliente DNA, which built on that legacy Mexico largest casino network. Tijuana is the city with the highest number of border crossings in the world, with San Ysidro crossing processing more than 100,000 people daily.
