| - PS: Got the charge reversed. Hopefully you don't have to deal with the same thing

Drai's Beach club was o k a y. Solidly 3 star pool party, but they get a 1 for cheating (or trying to, I'm currently disputing the charge with my Credit card company) my friend and I out of $40 each.
We were a group of four and had already reserved a section ($1100 + tax) at the Beach club that had been paid for on a separate credit card. Not only were we made to wait for no apparent reason after they established that we were actually on the list in the section with the other 2 folks that had arrived earlier (first strike), they then did some "checking" and informed us that their 6 person limit per section had been reached with our party.
Like I said, these are guys I know, and we'd been texting with them up to the entrance so this was a bit of a surprise to us, but boys will be boys ... maybe they had invited some women to party with them since we got there late and hadn't been aware the limit, either way, we were tired of waiting, so we paid $40 each and were waved upstairs.
As soon as we locate our section ... we find that ... like we thought. It was just our buddies in the section ... 2 guys.
Hmmmm ... sketchy.
Normally, I'd let it go, but like I said, the pool party was meh, the folks at the door had been pretty testy to deal with and I've had a much better time at the Palms pool party previous times.
So on the way out, I bring it up with the guy at the door (a different guy this time). He is actually pretty polite and apologetic, like he knows what has happened, but he then introduces us to this one guy and asks what can be done for us.
This guy is a piece of work.
First he talks to us pretty disrespectfully in asking us to hurry up and state our case, as soon as we do make the case, He is immediately dismissive but not even with any particular sense.
He claims the owner of the club had come down earlier and told them to charge EVERYONE $40 whether they had a section or not. Which is weird since we weren't told that when we came in, and the folks ahead of us (also waiting for a section) hadn't been made to pay to get in (another thing that bothered me, since we were both black and they werent ... but thats neither here nor there).
To which he responds that the person screwed up in telling us the reason for being charged but that they were supposed to charge us regardless.
The whole thing left a pretty nasty taste in my mouth. $40 isn't a big amount to lose, but to be cheated out of it in that manner is just ... yucky.
The party is okay, like I said, I don't think you'll have a bad time if you go. But get there early, and if they pull this shady little trick on you, make them confirm it.
Cheers.
