I've heard it's beautiful, great restaurants and entertainment, and I'll make it over there some day.

Where did you get the 5,000 figure? According to wikipedia estimates range from 8,000-12,000 and that 7,000 of those are American. Also, when you say celebrities do you mean Hollywood celebs or Mexicans celebs?

The celebrities are Hollywood types. Jim Cramer owns 3 houses in SMA:

I'd have to read the local SMA web board to give you other names. Your number of 8-12,000 is probably more correct.
