The Las Vegas Courtesan

So I have been doing some spring-cleaning during the summer and found it funny that I came across so many room keys that I have collected over the years from working as an escort in Las Vegas. Some I’ve asked for, some I have taken (tisk tisk!), one is from the room I got in this previous blog entry, and one I think I found.

Why do I have so many keys? As fun as an extensive collection sounds (like stamps!), I purely have them to get past security at the hotels that have them guard the elevators. It’s so obvious to stand by a bay of elevators waiting for someone matching the description they gave over the phone (which is almost always a white or black shirt accompanied by jeans) who maybe so prominently drunk or just stupid that they shake your hand and say, “nice to meet you” when I am supposed to be their “friend” and guest. Some hotels are very strict (such as Harrah’s who can even ask for your ID, write it down and possibly run it through a police database) and is almost necessary to steal a key. They change the keys so often because they know girls do this so it’s hard to keep up with them. Thus, why I have multiple copies from the same hotel.

Never have or will I return to the rooms that I took a key from because it’s obviously stupid with the cameras everywhere, and plus… it’s just wrong (yes, I have some sort of a soul unlike what this guy thought). In the end though, I look at them and see a little Vegas history: new clubs, shows gone by, or hotels that have changed names. It’s just one way to look and remember what happened here. Heck, maybe one day I can make a million bucks on them… nah.

Someone commented in this entry about me making a post about how to get an escort here in Las Vegas for the first time and how to make sure everything goes smoothly to avoid the disaster he went through. Unfortunately there is no easy way or perfect way to go about things since every girl working out here is different, but I can definitely give some pointers. I’ll go through every way you can get a girl here in Las Vegas and what clients can do to make the girl feel more comfortable.

The Girls Sitting At Casino Bars (aka “freelancers”):
I admire these girls who put their butts on the line by sitting in front of cameras trying to score a date. I used to do this but legal matters and such has made me paranoid to continue gaining clients like this. When trying to find a girl downstairs the client should also remember he is on cameras as well and to not try to discuss anything downstairs. The best thing to do when you’ve found a girl is to invite her back to your room for a drink or the likes. Don’t ever ask how much or “what service do you provide” at the bar or anywhere downstairs. Once behind closed doors the girl may strip down and request for you to do the same to make her feel more comfortable. Touching also can make the girl feel more relaxed. If any of these things are requested then oblige by doing so without hesitation so it doesn’t send off any mixed signals. Another pointer is when talking about entertainment never ask “how much for a blow job” or “how much for full service”. Remember prostitution is illegal in the county which Las Vegas resides in. Ask her what her average tip is or just tell her what you are willing to spend and see if she can further explain her entertainment to you. Also keep in mind each girl you meet downstairs is different with their pricing. You may be lucky to find a cheaper but pretty looking girl or run into a high dollar but not so gorgeous chick. If you aren’t happy with how her pricing is going then maybe offer $20 bucks and ask her to leave. You can always try again with someone else and maybe work out something better.

Agencies:
These come in many forms of advertising, which include: cards handed out on the strip, magazines in stands on the side of the road, billboard trucks driving down the Strip or on the side of the road, cabbies/limo drivers, and the Internet (I will discuss more below in its own topic). When calling to inquire about pricing and such they usually try and get a room number and the registered name to confirm you are serious so they can call back and discuss things once you are verified. I understand their reasons for doing this since the amount of prank callers are enormous and it’s the best way to determine the serious from the hoax. The only down side to this is sometimes even if you say “no thanks” they may send you a girl. Of course sometimes Vegas gets slow and they don’t want to miss any opportunity and that’s when girls are sent with or without your permission.
So when calling an agency the price they quote you over the phone is always the agency fee. I have yet to work for an agency that splits anything with the girl so always assume the girl sees none of the fee. If it is possible, try and get the price lowered since it will only leave you with more to tip the girl. Another pointer is to give a good description of the type of girl you want and maybe even give the name of the girl resembles what you like from the card or the magazine. Just know that the girls on the cards or magazines (and quite a bit, online) are models, so don’t get your hopes up that the same girl shows up! Of course, if you don’t like the girl who shows up either before you have given the fee then tell the agency to send you a new girl. Once the agency fee is paid it is non-refundable but even if you do pay it they will send you another girl since the phone girl makes her money solely from the entertainer. Agencies are good in the sense that you can have your choice of a number of girls and only have to dial a number to get one sent to your room fairly quickly. Even though you have to pay a fee for them to show it’s sometimes better than cruising for a girl downstairs

The Internet:

The Internet is a little fishy to determine what is an agency and what is not but there are some obvious signs (to me) that help determine which is which. Whenever the girl answers the phone and says that she ‘answers the phones for the girls’ that is a big sign. Some sites that have multiple girls on it and isn’t an escort directory is probably a service. I know of one agency in town that actually disguises their ‘directory’ for their own uses for their agency (iiilive.com) and charges something like $300 for the girl just to show up. Eros is a hit or miss as well but people like myself have independent ads which unfortunately are thrown in with ads from agencies disguised as independents. I constantly have to try and convince clients that I really am an independent and will prove it when I show up being the exact same girl. Of course, don’t shy away from trying to find the perfect girl on the Internet (or how else will you find me??)

Hopefully I made some good pointers and helped with some questions first timers always seem to have. Remember, every girl here is different with what she charges for entertainment and it’s up to you and her to work that out in the end!

The other night I went to the Rio Hotel and was told I was waiting for a second girl, who I’ve known for a while, who would join me on the call. After the phone girl from the agency was unable to reach the guy the first two times she called, the other girl (named Laura) and I went to sit in her car while they tried to get a hold of the client again. I mentioned to Laura that I hadn’t seen her in a while and wondered where she had been. She said, “I’ve been in Ohio… at a conference”. Since I am the only person I know who actually goes to conferences and conventions for my own educational well-being I was intrigued since someone else actually travels to do the same. I inquired as to what kind of conference since this job is the only thing I know she has. She answered back, “A… Bible conference”. I could tell she was slightly embarrassed to admit it but I said back to ease her that I used to be big into church and had visited a mid-west state for the same type of thing years ago. I must have put her quite at ease as she went on about how she thinks God has her here in this profession for a reason and He knows where her heart really is. She then said that God has a plan for her and that something will become of the things she has done as a prostitute.

“Don’t forget in the Bible Jesus saved a prostitute”, she carried on saying.

I mentioned to Laura that I had gone to an Easter service a few years ago and when I mentioned it to another girl we work with, named Stacy, she said that she could never go back to church until she quit doing this job. Stacy at the time said, “Don’t you feel like a hypocrite? You go there knowing that that evening you will go out committing those sins again.” In response to telling Laura what the other girl said was
that she knows it may seem like she is a hypocrite but also knows there is a bigger reason.

This conversation all happened so quickly in a minute or two that I was actually stunned and speechless when getting out of her car once we found out we could leave. She said, “Thanks for the talk!” when I stood up, “and don’t forget… no body knows your relationship with God but you”.

I walked away confused and perplexed that I just had a whirlwind of a conversation with a very religious… Prostitute.

In previous years I have sometimes dreaded the time of the year when the poker players make their journey to the mecca of poker at the Rio during late May through early July. Seems like I would have my run of bad luck when going on calls to the players who wanted girls. They would typically spend between $200-$300 and would request way more than I would give for what they were spending. Sometimes calls have ended up in arguments and quite a few times I just had to take rude comments from them. Maybe a bad day at the tables and I was the first to be picked on! Who knows…

So today marked the beginning of the main event that everyone knows and has seen on ESPN. This year has been different though in a good way on my end. This time the calls from players have been more cordial, more generous financially, and only had two people who decided to pick on me for their bad day. I found it kind of peculiar since everyone has been feeling the crunch of the economy, yet I have been doing better with the players! Ah well… maybe poker players are feeling a little more generous this time around. No complaints from me!
