While walking in the Zona, I got the standard "hey, come visit in here" message from one of the waiters (meseros ?). What they do is promote time with a girl in the VIP room for "Free". They don't tell you it's only 5 minutes (I know this now after looking at the room prices at the other clubs). So they get you in there with the girl for the time, and then later ask you for $100 for more time, then eventually try to get you into their hotel room for more money (another $120), and this does not include the fee for the chica. I am sure most of you know about this grift, but it's the first time I have experienced it. I just told them I wanted to stay in the VIP room and had just finished with the girl there. I am posting this as a cautionary tale.

@Owlyoung_ggofv I think there must have been some sort of miscommunication or misunderstanding, on one end or the other. Because a small sample of "free" time has always been standard here, as has the VIP amount. Similarly, the bar fine has remained minimal and consistent, at least the few dozen times I've visited, and of course it doesn't include the fee for the chica herself. Lastly, of course they eventually try to get you to a hotel; that's the objective for 99% of all parties involved.
