Scottsdale Nightclub VIP Bottle Service Bait-and-Switch

In the Old Town Scottsdale club district, promoters and doormen outside venues on Saddlebag Trail and nearby streets offer tourists guaranteed VIP entry and discounted bottle service packages, often quoting a low flat price. Once inside, the actual bill includes mandatory per-person minimums, service charges, and taxes that were never disclosed, inflating the cost several times over. In some cases the quoted package does not exist and guests are told they must purchase a bottle to keep their table.
