== Mission ==

Tommy Vercetti goes to Ken Rosenberg's office, trying to get some leads on the [[Introduction (GTA VC)|ambushed drug deal]], following the [[An Old Friend|orders]] of [[Forelli Family]] [[Don]] [[Sonny Forelli]]. Ken Rosenberg tells Tommy that [[Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez]] is having a party on his yacht and that it would be best to start with Cortez, as he was the one who set up the deal. Ken gives Tommy his invitation but tells Tommy to stop at [[Rafael's]] and get a new [[Soiree Outfit|outfit]], stating that Tommy's current outfit "would turn heads". Tommy leaves the office and drives to Rafael's where he gets a new suit. Tommy then drives to the [[Cortez' Yacht|yacht]] at [[Ocean Bay Marina|the small marina]] in [[Ocean Beach]]/[[Viceport]] and meets Cortez, who says they can talk about the ambushed drug deal later. He introduces Tommy to his daughter [[Mercedes Cortez]], who then points out each of the party guests. However, when [[Ricardo Diaz]] unexpectedly arrives, she leaves with Tommy, having him drive her to [[The Pole Position Club]].

 

== Reward ==

== Deaths ==

* Biker (optional) - Killed for his [[Freeway|bike]]

== Trivia ==

* The party guests include [[Alex Shrub]], [[Candy Suxxx]], [[Kent Paul]], [[BJ Smith]], [[Avery Carrington]], [[Donald Love]], [[Jezz Torrent]], [[Steve Scott]], [[Pastor Richards]], [[Gonzalez]], and Ricardo Diaz.

* [[Mike (GTA Vice City)|Mike]], later an associate of Tommy Vercetti and [[Lance Vance]], appears as one of Ricardo Diaz' bodyguards.  

* Ricardo Diaz' guards are wearing blue shirts, instead of the Diaz' Gang's purple shirts, a possible hint to [[Rub Out|their change of allegience]].

* The song heard during Cortez' party cutscene is ''Out of Touch'' by Hall & Oates. It can also be heard on the radio station [[Flash FM]].

* The Biker in this mission is the only ped that can jump on a bike from its front side.

* If the player gets in a car then gets out as soon as Mercedes gets in, and the player drives away in another car, Mercedes can still be heard talking to Tommy as if she was in the car.

* If the player transports Mercedes with a motorcycle, Mercedes won't ask if she can rest on Tommy's lap.

* Sometimes, Mercedes will not walk into the club. She will then appear in free roam like a random pedestrian.

** If the [[Cheats in GTA Vice City|"Ladies Man, Girls Follow You" cheat]] is activated, she will also follow the player and fight alongside him.

* If the player parks their vehicle in the pink halo in front of the pier enterance, any damage it has sustained will automatically be repaired upon completion of the cutscenes.

* This mission is the only opportunity for the player to obtain a [[Stretch]] prior to unlocking [[Starfish Island]].

* This mission is the only time in which a Stretch spawns in Ocean Beach.
