Missing beers in Cascada's fridge and dinner at Churrascaria do Brasil
Tuesday after a full night of lots of delicious meats at the AYCE Churrascaria do Brasil, 5 hot girls in Cascada's beds between 2 of us, wingman and I checked out about 2:30 AM. We left some changes on the drawer for the clean up crew.
Reception had guys check the room as usual. After a while reception said we took 2 beers from the fridge and charged us $18, same ficha price for girls in HK. I asked wingman if he took any beers; he said no. I brought a bottle of tequila and he brought his unopened orange juice to the room to party with the girls, so we had no need to take beers from the fridge. I had noticed the fridge looked pretty empty when checked in, but thought the hotel people knew what they were doing during a hectic labor day weekend. Lucky I know reception guys like Arturo and Javier very well. After some more checking, Arturo refunded me full $30 fridge deposit.
The bros should ask reception what they stock in the fridge and take its inventory upon taking the room. If any items missing, call reception to send a guy to verify. It could get expensive if they claim you took 10 drinks hehe.
BTW Churrascaria do Brasil is in a shopping mall on Blvd Agua Caliente, further South from La Zona than Mr Pampas, but just about every cut of their meats are higher grades and expertly grilled to rare or medium, juicy, tasty, tender and flavorful. Mr. Pampas meats tend to be dry, tough and overcooked. They also have more fresh varieties at the salad bar, about $12 weeknights after 6, no waiting for tables like Mr Pampas, highly recommended. My wingman is a professional chef and he liked it. Uber ride from La Zona about $6, 10, 15 minutes.
Avoid repaying HK's $7 door cover
HK has a $7 door cover charge for a Heineken Thu, Fri and Sun after 8 PM. The guys at the door make commission from these sales, so they can be greedy.
If you went to hotel with a HK girl and comeback, they would assume you already paid the cover and let you in. Fro non VIPs, if you wander in and out for other bars, tacos or street girls and come back, the door guys usually hassle you to pay the cover again.
The easiest way to avoid this hassle is, when you pay for the first cover, make the door guy write down a receipt for $7 on that date and time. Then he cannot deny you already paid. If they still hassle you, tell them you want to talk to the owner to complain, and have front desk guy raise him on the phone. That usually puts the fear into them and they will stop their hassle.
