The Las Vegas Courtesan

So before I got sick and had company in from out of town, one of the last nights I worked (I guess the friday before last) I got a surprising call! Since Las Vegas is known for it’s tourism and I don’t get to depend on regulars, I am always surprised and happy when people call me back. So I got a call from one of the couples I mentioned tipping me well in this entry a few weeks ago. Since it was so soon after the original booking I distinctly remembered how much I got and what all was involved. Awesome… a decent call to look forward to! We planned to meet up the next night around 11pm after they went to dinner and a show.

I verified their room at the Venetian, made a point to tell my services that I had a booking and waited to hear from them when they got out at 11. The hour came and I called the cell phone and room phone. No answer. I call 20 min later and the man answered to say that the show STARTED around 11 and they would call me as soon as they got out. Damn… okay. So 12:30 rolls around and I call. No answer… but 10 min later I get a call back. Hooray! They said they are in a cab line on the way back to their hotel. I head that direction and get a call in 10 minutes saying they got to the Venetian but the wife is deciding to postpone now until the following night. Ugh. I had already mentioned when booking that this was the ONLY night I could do something since I had out of town guests the following night. He said, “well let me call you back in 10 while we talk about this”. Time goes by, nothing heard back and no answer from phones yet again.

I texted the man that I was upset that my friday night prime time was wasted on miscommunication of appointment time and an eventual cancellation. The next day I get a text back saying they were sorry and wanted to take me to dinner and a show. I, of course replied, thanks but I don’t have the time. Only enough time for a small private party since I had guests coming in and didn’t want to be rude to them. They insisted on dinner and a show still and I just said again, I really can’t. Tried calling? No answer or replies.

Ok so I took forever to tell that story but it really ticked me. This is when I wish I could take credit card deposits! heh. The first meeting went well and it just is a huge let down that the second meeting was as bad as it gets for a time waster.
