How would a bartender know you bought the VIP service?
For that price, I'd hope the person escorting you around could go to the bar for you and get your drinks, or at least identify you to the bartenders.
Personally I wouldn't see any value in this service. But, as my parents and in-laws get older and continue to travel, I'd certainly consider adding a service like this to one of their itineraries - either as a nice treat or, honestly, because it would actually be helpful to know they have someone guiding them on a connection through a place like JFK/LAX.
