how it happened:At South Beach's Club Mansion, $700 will get you a bottle of liquor and a spot at a VIP table for a few hours.
It does not, however, buy your safety.
Or so it seems four days after as many as 11 bouncers inside the posh nightclub at 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, bludgeoned three University of Delaware seniors over a disputed bill, according to Miami Beach police.After about two hours, a waitress told the three men they had to give up their table for other patrons. Then they were told their tab for the vodka was $700.
Surprised by the amount, the students asked twice to see a bill. Twice they were refused.
At this point, they were ushered into a back room, which was packed with bouncers. When the young men again refused to pay without seeing a tab, employees of the club turned physical.
''They started pounding on the boys,'' Dennis said.
