The Las Vegas Courtesan

So if you previously read in my wordpress blog I was arrested twice last fall for solicitation of prostitution. Both cases were dismissed thankfully but it’s always a concern to be on the lookout for trouble I can avoid. The second time I was arrested was during the slow slow part of the year in Vegas between Thanksgiving and Christmas (minus the huge National Finals Rodeo that comes into town the first week of December). This town gets super slow and girls get desperate for cash and start “freelancing” (strolling through casinos or bars trying to pick up a customer) more frequently and stand out a little more than usual in the mostly empty casinos.

Now I don’t know if the girls are just that obvious that they get picked up and arrested more or if the vice squad gets that BORED during this time that they just arrest girls by the truckload. I haven’t heard of girls in jail in a few months and now I am hearing from several girls that have been taken in the past week. One girl’s abil bondsman informed her about 300 girls have been taken in the past week or so. Jesus Christ. That makes me nervous and I better start knocking on wood that I don’t fall into their trap. That’s the last thing I need right now.

Sorry for the sparse posting since before the holiday. After a death in the family followed by Thanksgiving I haven’t been to motivated to write though maybe it would have helped some to get out some of my emotions. Thanksgiving was awesome and I am still trying to recover from that over-eating festivity! Pictures to come… I just need to get back into the swing of things.

So I recently made a post about questions that people ask me constantly. Tisk tisk to me for not writing the follow up post!

“Why don’t you work for yourself… why work with an agency?”

This is actually a pretty good question because I have other girls from online or that I meet in Vegas who wonder the same. Not just customers ask me this question. First I point out that I do work for myself and have online ads, plus when you go as a girl from an agency you are asking for your tips independently from the company. The agency can’t tell you what you can or can not charge or do with a client. I could ask for $3,000 and give him 15 minutes of lap dances… of course I would never do that, but they can’t tell you what to do. If I solicit illegal acts I do that at my own risk and solely responsible for myself.

Anyway, the main reason is I don’t want to deal with being kicked out of casinos, run the higher risk of being arrested, and just don’t want to be so paranoid about making money by working bars and such. The girls who answer the phone at the agencies are (usually) good at their job and filtering out all of the cheap/rude/not serious clients. Also, I can’t really run my own business without advertising of course, and advertising costs lots of money just to stand out in Las Vegas. Then you have to hire someone to answer those calls and of course, there is a special business license you must obtain to even have a business like that.

Yes it sucks to collect a fee before discussing my money and yes it stinks to have to tip approximately 20% to the phone girls, but then again I don’t have to risk myself as much but trolling the casino floors for customers and I can goof off while I wait for calls to hotels. One day I might open my own agency, but in the mean time I’ll work for other companies.

I’ll post more questions in the future! Gotta make a good list of them .. I know there a lot

Yea whoopdee doo for Harrah’s Las Vegas. I don’t like going into the hotel after 9 or 10 because the security they have checking keys at the elevators pretend that the hotel is nicer than the Wynn and Bellagio put together… the place is a joke. None the less I like to keep away to avoid these low-life security guards and I would get in trouble if they decided to run my ID.

So I get a call around 8 or so to go to Harrah’s and I accept it. I go upstairs and hear someone fumbling as I knock on the door. The door flies open and I see this beaming face back and almost instantly recognize his face from somewhere I can’t place on television or a movie. The whole time I couldn’t think of where or what exactly he was on but that really didn’t matter. I treat whoever the customer is like everyone else (well… unless they are seriously rude). I collect the agency fee, perform my little safety checks, and decide to ask him what his budget looks like. He says an amount that is only slightly above the fee. “What a bummer”, I think. I quote what I normally start at and such and he says he really can’t go get more money than whatever he has in his pocket. We agree and he understands he doesn’t get more than minimal entertainment (aka, dances and a hand job for the finale).

We get started and I can tell he is only delaying with a back massage because he is trying to delay from getting too excited. Ah well I can’t turn down a shoulder rub! Things didn’t last much longer after then but that is pretty typical with me and my Astroglide. 🙂

So who was it? I don’t like disclosing that but I had to figure out who it was when I left the room. It all clicked when I looked at IMDB.com… he was in a Showtime series and he is definitely not gay if he calls female escorts in Las Vegas over.

“Do you have a lot of violent calls?”

Actually no. I very very rarely have a call where someone gets physical or gets seriously pissed that security has to get involved. I am not one to screw people over or lie about some fee that an agency has me collect before I negotiate my own pricing. Why risk my own safety for money that I am not even receiving? I am very forward and blunt when it comes to stating, “this is an agency fee and is non refundable”. What is more plain and forward than that? Humans only like to listen when they want to listen, and don’t want to believe that indeed the fee gets no sexual acts what so ever.

Well until this week did I have a record of two calls in a row that had me in a bad situation (the second one was not a big deal like the first, but it was stressful dealing with two big drunken New Yorkers who were pissed for no reason). The first guys were not very fluent in English and very fluent in border-town-Mexico Spanish. One guy spoke English quite well though and translated well from what I understood in my knowledge of Spanish. Fee was collected all three of the girls (myself included) did a strip show. Once we realized they didn’t want to tip AND wanted sex, we had to leave. One girl somehow darted out leaving us 2 behind (very improper etiquette for girls) and left us in the room with angry Mexicans demanding their money back. One guy was pushing me and pulling the other girls hair while saying he “respects us”. Right. I get a hold of my driver (who thankfully was there even though it was an off night of the week) and he waits downstairs by the elevators to escort me out. By this time the guy is holding us hostage in the room demanding the money back even though we inform him the girl who left has it. My driver hears the situation while still on the phone and tells security we need an escort out of the room that we are being held up in. Luckily they finally come up and handled the situation nicely by telling the guys that they are committing a felony of kidnapping and are lucky that we are not pressing charges. The whole time the guy is saying in a heavy accent, “I’m from my coantrey and I respect”. They inform them again how escort services here work and they pay a fee to get girls to the room and you have to tip. In the end the head of security of the hotel gives me his card and says, “if you ever have another problem just give me a call.” Wow I am shocked.

The fear of working here in hotels/casinos and getting in a situation like that is how security will help you out of a room but then turn right around and trespass you from the property or as we say, “86-ed”, even if the guy gets his money back. After then you are permanently barred from the casino and can be arrested if you violate that order. Its ridiculous but its how it goes here… so this reaction by a security person was quite out of the norm.

I will write about my next most popular repetitive question in the next installment which is probably what people will want to ask me after reading this entry, “Why do you work for agencies?”
