The Las Vegas Courtesan

So I left a comment on an old article in my blog about how there was a new operation that the vice squad had come up with to get the top 50 offenders behind bars and actually convict them to send some sort of message to the rest of the working girls. As I said in the comment, the number of girls that were in jail the same time I was back in December had already been in there at least 10 times that month. They talked of stealing and really only hurt the business instead of making it more respectable for the rest of us. So all during the month of February vice thought it would be a good idea to make a top 50 list of the biggest offenders and crack down. The girls they showed in the original Review-Journal article were all presented as prostitutes, but if you scroll down the list of girls and their charges only 3 of them have actual charges for prostitution. The rest of them are simply trespassing charges. I would be really mad if my face appeared on a news site accusing me of being something I wasn’t arrested for.

So the other day I open up my newspaper to find this article on the front page saying out of the 100 or so arrests during Operation VETO they got one conviction! Wow. The funny thing is they say she was “convicted” but really, she wasn’t. The jail sentence was suspended and she was given a $1,000 fine and banned from the Strip for 6 months or get 6 months jail if she is caught again. This is nothing new and the Strip restrictions have been going on for years. I don’t understand why this is any different. The girl is an idiot to have been arrested over 100 times in the past three years, but mostly only for trespassing? Makes no sense how they are saying this girl is being used as an example. How about the Vice squad actually go get those juvenile prostitutes being held against their will, or the people actually committing real crimes? After all of the trouble these cases clog up the court system, nothing will ever teach girls a lesson, so why bother? Get the real criminals… or actually help the underage girls forced into the profession. This 27 year old girl is only over taxing our already suffering court system in Clark County.

People that read my blog seem to be really interested about the whole legal Nevada brothels thing so I decided to spend some time collecting all the current information for brothels that are open in Nevada right now and making it into a brothels directory on my site so people can use it as a reference of sorts. I even put everything into a Nevada state-wide Google Map so you can get a frame of reference for where they all are. I hope everyone finds this helpful!

Also, if you know of any that are currently open and I have somehow missed them in my research, please contact me and let me know.  I want to keep it as accurate and up to date as I can.

So one of my readers reminded me recently, “Hey you never finished that series about your previous arrests!”. Ah thanks for reminding me, and now that I am back from yet another trip, I will continue the saga. First of all I want to rant about this regular couple who I have discussed about standing me up before in this entry. Maybe I should have learned my lesson from that instance, but they had since proven themselves to keep an appointment and made up for it monetarily. So I was not supposed to fly back from my trip until today but I received a call from said clients who wanted to meet up last night. I change my flight to the tune of almost $200 and guess what they do? Stand me up again. I am still sour about it so I called on with my agencies and the night ended up being a complete dud. As you can see, I am still bitter about it and they have not called me back. I told them I had changed my flight for them, but apparently that went unnoticed. That is the first time I have changed my flight to come back to work early, and it actually flopped. Anyway, on with my story!

So my second run in with the law after this entry occurred two months later in December of that year. At the time craigslist wasn’t a terrible place and they had just started doing busts on there and figuring out it was a mecca of prostitutes for the taking. December is super slow after the rodeo and I decided to try to make up for the slack by posting a few ads a few days in a row and just be really careful. I posted one ad and I swear, it was 15 minutes later a woman called me in reference to the advertisement. I already felt somewhat relieved since it was a woman calling for her husband and herself, and the only thing that made me feel peculiar about the call was how she asked if my fee was for “full service”. I graciously replied, “I’m sorry but that term is eluding to prostitution and that is illegal in Clark County.” She apologized and didn’t mean to offend me but would still like for me to come over and meet them. Okay, sounds good to me! I got their information about staying at Caesar’s, it verified, and I headed over there. I knock at the door and a nicely dressed and polite African-American woman answers the door. She looks like someone who would be a secretary at your junior high with her glasses and simple outfit, and her husband is dressed nice as well and could have played football in high school but now is the business type. I sit down and talk with them how they are from Oakland and I take a look around the room at some of the sex toys on the side tables (of course now seem very staged) and immediately tell them just for coming over I do a strip. I get down to my thong and invite them to touch me immediately. The woman hops up, giggles and fondles my breasts while the man just gently touched with the back of his hand. Doesn’t seem too odd, especially since she was so eager to grab me.

So I sit down and she starts saying how she doesn’t really want anything to do with it and how I don’t have to go down on her. I said, that’s all right because I don’t perform oral on women, I only dance and touch. She says, “okay well I want you to just focus on him and play with him and maybe some oral sex on him”. I immediately tell her I don’t like talking about things like that. So she instead asks me what do I normally get tipped for couples and I told her. Just then the phone rings and she runs to the restroom to answer it. That I thought was odd but it didn’t really alarm me since both of them seemed to pass my little groping test. She comes back in and apologizes and says, “Well lets just get started, $XXX for some dances and maybe a little blowjob for him”. I forget how exactly I answered but it was along the lines of, “okay lets just get started” and not specifically saying yes to the oral sex. The man pulls out a wad of bills and starts counting…

I hear the door open and turn around to see Vice coming in and saying I’m under arrest for soliciting and to put my clothes back on. They hurry me off to the other room because yet another girl I think was on her way up. I think why the phone rang was the cops telling her, “You need to wrap this up and get her to agree”. So as soon as I am dressed in the other room the head officer (who was at the previous bust) informs me that I am being charged with TWO counts since there were two undercover officers in the other room. Even though I had turned the woman down for any prostitution, I was still being charged with soliciting her. Bunch of bull, of course! I went to jail and was released about 24 hours later on bail and would have been released under my own recognizance, but they were so slow that day.

So what happened with this case, and how did it almost screw up the previous one? In the other case they had offered me a plea bargain but the catch was I had to stay out of trouble, remember? I had not accepted the terms yet so it didn’t really count at that point. The lawyer thought if I accepted the plea and finished everything before the court date of this offense, that they wouldn’t conflict nor would it be in the system yet. He was right, I finished the requirements that week and had the other case dismissed the same day this one was going to court. So when the DA asked what was the deal with the case from October, my lawyer replied that I had finished the terms and was being submitted that day. So what did the young and stupid new DA do? Dismissed this case entirely right then and there. I was told that was really lucky and of course I am glad it was dropped too.

So it’s official… the state turned down hearing about the bill to allow legalized prostitution in Las Vegas. A bill was being drafted but they were informed by the current legislature that the issue won’t be taken up this session. Some are disappointed, some are happy… but I am in the middle wishing it had been debated some (it’s always interesting to hear what people’s opinions are) but not wanting it to pass. Apparently they had gotten so far as to writing a part of the bill that would allow Mayor Goodman to have 3 operations open under a temporary trial phase until a board could be established. The discussion about the Legislature passing to hear about the measure was found at the Las Vegas Sun.

So the springtime is usually a rollercoaster of sorts as one convention comes into town and another event ends, sometimes there can be strange lulls in business and then one random Sunday night it can be good. I am used to these swings in the springtime, but this year has been way more of a rollercoaster. I loved the business the roofers, construction, concrete guys brought in, but since last Thursday it has gone from odd to strange. Last night I got really lucky on one good call and it was dead for the rest of the night. Tonight I have been bored and working on my computer from my car as I wait for a call. Hey, at least it has given me time to write an entry that was much needed, right?

Let’s just cross our fingers for the M.A.G.I.C convention this year… even though I wrote this not so promising entry last year. Maybe it will be opposite this time! Ehh… maybe…
