Dance Rooms or VIP or Whatever - How is it supposed to work or going downhill?

How exactly is this place supposed to work for dances?

I've been here a few times, I want to like this club, it's a solid with good talent but there are times where I'm just confused. Last month, I hit it off with some typical model brunette spinner. We agreed to something like $200 for 15 mins in the back vip room plus drinks and she wanted a tip. I didn't know her well but she's put on the hard sell but it seemed it worth it. We walk back to the booth and it's something like $425. What? Even the dancer is surprised and the bouncer is like "yo there ain't much space take it or leave it". At this point even the dancer is pissed because she can tell I don't like it and she had no idea it was this much either.

We opt for some cheaper $150 option for a few songs or whatever only to be crammed into some small room next to several other packed like sardines then unexpectedly shook down for $50 in drinks in the middle of the dance. Whatever, they got me but of course before we leave, we peaked in the 2nd or 3rd VIP Area - over a dozen booths are completely empty.

So what's the deal?
