Im at Monterrey right now, I know this city inside out.
Ok, the rundown:
Monterrey nightlife is dead right now. Drug violence has done that. Barrio Antiguo is dead, and all the clubs that are left are a couple low class regueton shitholes, and a few upper class, expensive fresa clubs where guys go to show off their money. Dont go into those clubs. In the lower ones, girls arent hot by any decent standard, and the ones who do will be after your money. And men will try to jump you just to show off. And in the upper clubs, your chances of a same night lay go down as girls go there to showcase their status (either by displaying their hotness, or by association, depending on the social standing of their company) So, it would be a social mistake to be seen leaving with an unknown, unpositioned man. Either way, expect to be fleeced by the bottle service, waiters, valet parking, cover charges...
Now, I wont tell you not to come to Mexico, or not to come to Monterrey. Unsafe? It all depends on who you are and what you do, and, of course, where you go. Stupid gringos who walk into shithole neighbourhoods trying to buy drugs and bang the locals get shot. Dont be a dead gringo.
If you can work the social game, your chances of getting laid are high. The plus-side of the nightlife going down in Monterrey is that, since, house parties are packed. You can have a "small meeting" that grows to the 100+ numbers.
Just stay away from the police. I repeat, stay away. Whenever you see red and blue, just walk in the other direction.
If you play the social game you are set. Just make a few socially-savvy friends, get invited to a few parties, be cool to everyone and reap the rewards. Case Facebook, Badoo, or CS for girls and parties. If you already know a few locals you are good to go.

-Cost of partying. Depends on your definition of partying. A night out on the town can go from a couple hundred pesos, to a couple of thousand. Reserve something for the taxi ride back home.
-Quality of girls. Id say 4 out of 10 are bangable, with 1 out of 20 being a 10. Your mileage may vary depending on where you set up camp, but you will definitely have a hard time not finding something you like.
-Chances of hooking up. Very High to For Certain, depending on your game. Some girls will try to hook up with you just on account of being gringo. (not the hottest girls)
-Level of spanish required. None. Everyone will try to speak in english with you. Some spanish is useful, specially if you will be going out on your own.
-Safety. Dont act like a stupid gringo and you are good to go.

Mexico City is great. There is no way you are not getting laid there. Whoever tells you there are no hot girls in Mexico City wasnt really pushing himself.
