The Las Vegas Courtesan

My website has been picking up some steam and I have seen a pretty big increase in calls that come from my site or the ads I have on the internet. Good! My time and money is going to something profitable! Of course what comes along with it is more prank callers along with the people who are serious and want someone to come over!

I got an email from a guy who was staying at the Wynn and just emailed back and forth for a while but when I asked for a contact number several times I never got one nor an actual call from the guy. I said if you don’t give me a number then how can I meet up with you? Finally I get one and I talk to the guy and we plan on meeting at the Wynn at Midnight and gave me his room number along with the registered name on the room (you have to have in order to call people and verify they are really staying in that hotel). Well I made a HUGE mistake and didn’t call the Wynn to see if he was telling the truth about the room information. Really dumb mistake because on my way over there and having called the services I work for that I was going somewhere I finally called to make sure he was in the room. The operator said back to me after I gave the name and number he gave me, “I’m sorry but that guest is not registered to this hotel”. I was so mad at myself I couldn’t believe it. The man didn’t answer his phone after that and after talking to a phone girl at a service he had apparently been making the same idiotic move with them. What person is that bored and needy to write emails and call around town to waste time? Be a man and actually get a girl! What a waste of space.

Along with that winner of a guy I got a call of a man who sounded like he was smacking himself on the phone and another guy in from the Nascar races who planned two appointments but no showed on both of them. Sigh! I wish I could get credit card numbers and hold some sort of deposit to make people take my time seriously.

On the other hand I had two calls from couples that same week who ended up being generous on their donations and weren’t difficult to make their session a good one. I always like those calls… if only they were all that way! Anyway I must go… I am out of town currently and finally got a chance to sit down and write something to post! So frustrating.

I had an up and down night last night. A bunch of calls where phone girls were sending me on bull and taking advantage of my patience and calmer attitude . I sometime have a hard time telling them no or asking a bunch of questions about the legitimacy of the call (no one likes to work with a bitch for an escort) and a few girls were totally using that to send me to downtown then to the other end of the strip and they all be a waste of an hour or so.

I called off for that service and got a call from another one to the Motel 6 across from the MGM Grand. Hooray. That place can be creepy but a lot of people go there to escape whoever is staying with them in their regular hotel room. This client was escaping his sister and brother in law at the MGM Signature. I go in and he is steadily drinking a bottle of champagne with his shaky hand and plastic some-assembly-required champagne glass. I collect the fee and start talking about tips. He is pretty limited to his funds and the nearest ATM is a block away so we just decide to just work with what he has and that he fully knew what he was getting for his money. Half way through he acted like he never knew he wasn’t getting sex and was disappointed. I hate it when clients do that half way through a session only to ruin the vibe and their erection by acting dumb about what we solidly agreed to before hand. We leave on good terms and he begs me for a hug as I am walking out.

Anyway, I go to the service office and turn in my fee and watch TV for a bit. Almost a whole hour after I left the room he client calls the office to tell them that I have no soul. I hear her reply, “Well you were the one who called us, sir. What does that make you? She only came over at your request.” He apparently repeated back, “Well she has no soul” and the girl on the phone back said, “Oh really? Then what does that make you?” and hung up. I don’t know how he got from begging me for a hug as I left to me not having a soul. He wanted a girlfriend I suppose and nothing makes some people happy. Sad

So the hotel’s opening was pushed back not once, not twice but three or more times to New Years Eve. Even then it was only opened really for Jay-Z’s new club 40/40 to have its New Year’s event (and suddenly I realize I didn’t even see this club when walking through). The rooms were rumored to not be available until mid-January or later but hey! Come see our casino! And… well that’s about it.

The “grand opening” was last weekend (January 17-19th) and included a star studded event with Diana Ross, Seal and hosted by the Venetian’s Wayne Brady. The rooms (still not all of them) were available for booking and Barney’s New York opened the 19th.

Sometime in the past week I finally got a call to the Palazzo and I was excited! I drove into their underground garage totally forgetting the laws of cells phones and that they don’t work underground. “Ah well”, I thought, “I’ll just go to the casino”. Still no service. I had to walk practically out to the Strip by the lovely statue that looks like three women carved out of ice to make a call and get the information on the clients. That’s annoying. Me and another girl meet the customers to go upstairs and we walk by where an under construction gift shop is being put in… jackhammers pounding away and everything. We go up and both notice how nice the hallways are with etched mirrored glass and had cool blues and browns for the colors. When we were let in the door we both said, “wow looks almost the same as the Venetian main tower remodeled rooms”. The call doesn’t work out for me so I leave and went to wandering around the rest of the place.

So here are the pros to the place:
-The casino is nice and open instead of squished looking like the Venetian. The style is like the Wynn meets the cheaper local’s South Point Casino (which is not a compliment, by the way) but with a different color scheme.
-Love the colors and the original looking chandeliers
-I like how the garage escalators dump you out into the middle of the casino floor but isn’t obtrusive
-Liked the indoor waterfall and how it connects you to the Grand Canal Shops of the Venetian
-Liked the look of the lounge where they have live acts perform at night.

What I didn’t care for:
-Out of 50+ shops there are only about 3 open: Coach, Barney’s, and Farragamo. The rest is empty and … sad. Only the Grand Lux Café and Morel’s Steakhouse are open. It made the place look pathetic and half assed. Hall after hall of shops were closed, half done, or not done at all. When Steve Wynn opened his casino across the road every single high end shop and restaurant that was announced was open the first day the rest of the hotel was open. That’s classy. A half opened hotel just seems cheap.
-Jersey Boys the musical isn’t opening until April and the area around the theater looks like a disaster (which is by the main casino floor)
-The faux sky ceiling is overdone in Las Vegas. Caesars started it in the 90’s and every other casino has done it since… so… move on major resorts. Find something else original and not so cheesy looking.

-I sadly think it’s one of the worst looking buildings to come to the Strip. It looks like a big hospital to me. A big huge monolith with some faux cement blocks that make up the exterior to cover up the huge steel beams that they constructed the building from.

Ok I am done with my rant.

So the conclusion? Save some $ and stay at the Venetian sister property. The rooms are the same and the Palazzo is just a short walk away.

Guess I won’t be going to any calls there tonight.. a 3 alarm fire started early today and the top floors were burned but mostly on the exterior. They said in the article I was reading that people ignored the fire alarm until maids were running down the halls banging on doors. If a fire alarm is being tested or erroring here in Las Vegas usually they have an announcement immediately afterward saying “there is a malfunction” or “this is a test”… if you don’t hear that within a minute, get the hell out of your rooms people! I’d hate to see another horde of people die like in the MGM fire in 1980… 87 people then and 8 people at the Hilton fire the following year.
