Disturbing Element

On this past Tuesday afternoon, while walking back to my room at Cascadas from HK, I was approached by the "Cuantos" guy on the HK/Cascadas side of the sidewalk. I try to avoid any interaction or pretense of interaction with drugs. I waved him off and quickly went on my way. Normally, they are on the other side of the alley, so it hasn't been hard to just walk the HK side of the street. However, not only was I approached on the HK side, I later saw the same guy going into Cascadas with a very light security pat-down. He went into the area where HK has the short-term room for street girls.

Has anyone else noticed this or other signs of narco penetration? Is it a sign that business is slow and they can't pay the fees to keep them out? I remember reading stories of them storing stashes in club...especially Gold Palace.
