Tijuana also relies on tourism for a major part of its revenue. About 300,000 visitors cross by foot or car from the [[San Ysidro, California|San Ysidro]] point of entry in the United States every day. Restaurants and [[taco stand]]s, pharmacies, bars and dance clubs, and shops and stalls selling Mexican crafts and souvenirs are part of the draw for the city's tourists, many located within walking distance of the border. The city's tourist centers include [[Downtown Tijuana]] including the nightlife hot spots around [http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-sexta-tijuana La Sexta], [[Avenida Revolucion|Avenida Revolución]], souvenir shopping at the ''Mercado de Artesanías'' and [[Plaza Viva Tijuana]], Tijuana's Cultural Center ([[Tijuana Cultural Center|CECUT]]) and neighboring [[Plaza Río Tijuana]] shopping center, and the city's best known vices, in the form of its legal [[Zona Norte, Tijuana|Red Light District]] and gambling ([[Agua Caliente, Tijuana|Agua Caliente]]). Tijuana is also known for being the birthplace of the [[Caesar salad]]. Mexico's [[drinking age]] of 18 (vs. 21 in the United States) makes it a common weekend destination for many high school and college aged Southern Californians who tend to stay on Avenida Revolución.

Tijuana is also known for its [[red-light district]] [[Zona Norte, Tijuana|Zona Norte]] (also referred to as ''La Coahuila'' after one of its main streets) with legal [[prostitution]] in strip clubs and on the street.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dibble |first=Sandra |date=31 October 2015 |title=Spotlight on Tijuana's 'tolerance zone' |url=http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/border-baja-california/sdut-tijuana-tolerance-zone-2015oct31-story.html |work=San Diego Union-Tribune |access-date=9 September 2018}}</ref> The strip clubs are typically full-contact, meaning the dancers let patrons fondle them.<ref name="DallaBaker2011">{{cite book |author1=Rochelle L.

Tijuana has many pharmacies that target visitors from the United States, which sell some medicines without prescriptions and/or at much lower costs than in the U.S. Many medications still require a Mexican prescription, which can be obtained from adjacent doctors' offices. People filling up prescriptions for drugs classified in the US as [[list of Schedule II drugs|Schedule II]] or [[list of Schedule III drugs|Schedule III]] have found it more difficult to locate such medications, and the purchase of pseudoephedrine also has become restricted by Tijuana pharmacies, just as in the U.S. To fill a prescription in Tijuana for any drug covered by the US [[Controlled Substances Act]] and legally bring it into the United States requires a prescription from the United States for re-import. Americans can import up to a 90-day supply of non-controlled medications for personal use to the US from Mexico and other countries.

Businesses such as auto detailing, medical and dental services and plastic surgery are heavily marketed, and are usually much less expensive than in the U.S.

Tijuana is headquarters for Mexico's largest gambling concern, [[Casino Caliente|Grupo Caliente]], which operates the only casinos in the city, more than twenty branches.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.grupocaliente.com.mx/|title=Grupo Caliente – Home| website=Grupocaliente.com.mx| access-date=28 February 2018| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329124917/http://www.grupocaliente.com.mx/|archive-date=29 March 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
