Ray Bulgarin at Maisonette 9

Go to Maisonette 9 and walk through to the VIP area. Tony is greeting a table of Russians led by Ray Bulgarin, who wants to know where the women are and makes it clear he does not think much of Tony. Luis tells him his job is making sure nobody gets killed. Bulgarin says he prefers it when they do.

Bahama Mamas

Get in Tony’s car and drive him to Bahama Mamas in Westminster. On the way Tony explains that Rocco’s people want Luis to hit on a woman there called Monique. Luis jokes that Tony has finally become his pimp.

Go to the dance floor, find Monique and dance with her. The dancing works like a rhythm game: when the prompt says HOLD, hold the buttons shown and keep the beat, and when it says DANCE, follow the button prompts in time with the music. Do well enough and she takes Luis to the back office. The 100% rating wants a perfect dance, so watch the rhythm marker closely.

The owner

In the back, Monique’s boyfriend Vic, who owns the club, walks in on them. He was supposed to be in Las Venturas. Vic draws a gun, and the objective becomes Take out the owner. His men come from the club floor, so stay in the office corridor and shoot Vic first.

Get out of the club. Bouncers and Vic’s men fill the dance floor, so move quickly and keep shooting. The rating asks you not to hurt any civilians or Monique, so hold your fire when partygoers cross your sights. Once outside, leave the area to end the mission.
