The Las Vegas Courtesan

Unfortunately I haven’t seen this stripper-mobile running around town but I got a good laugh when I saw it on the front page of the Las Vegas Sun website today. Of course county commissioners are freaking out, motorists are loving it, and the cops are shrugging their shoulders saying, “Who cares?” I am *for once* with Metro on this one. If they have the proper permit for having a mobile advertising truck and the girls are obviously not wearing anything scandalous (I’ve seen a hundred times worse at a Rehab pool party at the Hard Rock), they roll the truck at night and keep it out of neighborhoods, then really what’s the big deal?? I might not wear my highest stripper heels but I am sure the girls are smart enough to do that….

Roll on, Deja Vu!

I get lots of calls from lots of different people from my web ads. Some nervous and fumbling over words only to get out, “how much?” while others are pompous and act offended that I just don’t incriminate myself over the phone with a detailed menu. Whatever the case may be, here’s a few pointers I am making into a mini-series of entries of what NOT to do when calling.

#1: Don’t book a call many months in advance
This just makes me want to giggle when I get calls in December about some trip they are planning for August. I ask where they think they might be staying or what is the purpose of their trip and they have no clue. Yes, I do think they are just calling to see if there is really a girl in Vegas who is going to answer the phone but sometimes I think the guy just gets so excited they are escaping from whatever torturous town they are living in to come to Sin City and decide to line up a girl *first* before anything else.
Yesterday I got a call from a girl here locally who is a newlywed and “more experienced” than her husband (who is many years younger). She said she wanted it to be a surprise for him for their next years anniversary. I said “Oh when is your anniversary?” she replies, “January 25th or so”. I thought to myself, “oh okay.. in a week which is for their upcoming year” but I decide to make sure and ask, “so in a week?”
“Oh no.. next year.. like 2009”
It took a lot to hold that giggle back. Well, at least she will have time to save for it.

And for your information, the longest time from a booked call to the actual meet up date in person has been 2 weeks, tops. Maybe in other cities pre-booking so far in advance works, but here where people’s attention span goes right out the window the second they land at McCarren Airport.. it just never ends up working out.

Stay tuned for the rest of this series!

So between going on trips out of town and fighting off some sort of horrible bug going around town, I haven’t been up to much else but ignoring my blog! Now that it has gone so long without a post it’s hard to get back into the groove of things and check on it and read stuff daily. Got to work on getting back into the routine, for sure.

September has been a sluggish month, for sure, but I was kind of expecting it since last year this month was completely DEAD. So dead it frightened me. Everyone’s kids go back to school and so there isn’t so much off time for people to make their pilgrimages to Las Vegas to indulge in their sins … aka, me!

One thing that has happened worth noting and has been in the news recently is the ban that was lifted off of legal brothels advertising in counties where prostitution is illegal (Clark and Washoe). (Las Vegas brothels have been allowed to advertise their brothels located near Las Vegas, Nevada online all along.) I don’t understand why this went on for so long. I guess owners forgot about their First Amendment rights? For 28 years?  Someone finally challenged the ban that was placed in 1979 that prohibits these establishments from advertising in Las Vegas and surrounding area and in Reno. Glad to hear they won that but I still don’t see too much of a threat from these advertisements for the legal brothels. Las Vegas’ nearest brother is the Chicken Ranch or Sheri’s Ranch, which is about 60 miles away. That’s one heck of a cab ride or you can have them pick you up as long as you are spending a certain amount of money at the ranch. Even then, I couldn’t imagine traveling that distance horny only to show up and maybe not like the girls. I have seen clients who go out there only to come back to say they are pricey and the girls weren’t top notch to charge those prices. I might end up charging the same as the girls there (sometimes less), but who doesn’t like room service that comes with tits and ass?  It’s all about convenience.
