I couldn't remember. Lacerda? The name rang a bell, but I couldn't concentrate. Terrible things were happening all around us. Right next to me a huge reptile was gnawing on a woman's neck, the carpet was a blood-soaked sponge--impossible to walk on it, no footing at all. "Order some golf shoes," I whispered. "Otherwise, we'll never get out of theis place alive. You notice these liazards don't have any trouble moving around in this muck--that's because they have claws on their feet."

"Good," I said. "But what about our room? And the golf shoes? We're right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo! And somebody's giving booze to these goddamn things! It won't be long before they tear us to shreds. Jesus, look at the floor! Have you ever seen so much blood?

Straight from the book... I don't see how they mangled this scene at all.
Where the Buffalo Roam is based on "an article of Hunter S. Thompson's, The Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat (reprinted in The Great Shark Hunt ). The article is a long wail by Thompson, wondering whether or not his friend and attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta was really alive or dead." So it should be reminiscent of Fear & Loathing - but they aren't the same story.
