TB post speakeasy

Arrived at Rizo a bit earlier than check in. Got my VIP card from the desk. Now here is where I had a small issue, he asked for my ID to get the VIP card. Why? He said it was mandatory just for the name, no info was inputed in CPU except my name, i was watching like a hawk. That kinda fucked up my reservation, cuz it was under my alias but after talking to front desk (COUGH:tip) and showing them my email confirmation, I was given room on first floor, past the desk. VIP was $30 for 3 months & got 80% off of rooms on mon-tues.

The security is a bit more strict. After temp check, security will search your bags, then go thru metal detector. Process was quick and we joked the whole time. I was allowed to check in a little before 2pm. Btw, there was a BG(bar girl) with a robe leaving the hotel...damn! She was fine! Mental note....get her once in TB. Found out a bit later she was from HK.

Anyway, showered and down to TB for my free drink. Bacardi n coca light (diet). Both times i asked for this this drink the VIP ‘host’ gave me a bit of a push back. They claim coke light is a separate drink on its own. My reply was, would you rather me get a more expensive single drink? They gave me a look and called a mesero to get my drink. Mind you, i dont mind paying for a drink but come on man! Coke vs diet coke.
