how much will a night like this cost? how much are you expecting to pay?

After you factor in dinner, drugs, booze, cover-charges, lap dances, sending my buddy up for a private dance in the VIP room, cabs, cigarettes, and other extras, probably about a grand a head is my guess.

The hotel segment of the evening probably won't last for more than an hour. It's just our meeting place. I don't really have a problem chipping in. It's a small fraction of the total cost. I guess I just don't understand why- if I were visiting a friend in another city, and I got a hotel room, and some of his buddies that we were going out with us that night happened to set foot in my room for a little bit before we hit the first bar, the thought of collecting cash from them to help pay for my hotel room would not even enter my mind.
