The Las Vegas Courtesan

Well it seems as if Steve Wynn is all over the newspapers lately, and not in the best or most appealing way. Besides my previous blog story about being slapped by prostitutes on his own property, him and Joe Francis of the Girls Gone Wild fame have been flinging lawsuits at each other like they are going out of style. Joe has a 2 million dollar gambling debt at the Wynn casino and doesn’t plan paying it off which has resorted the casino in filing a case against him for unpaid debts. Joe Francis comes back with a lawsuit against Wynn and the casino saying that his tab is falsified and Steve Wynn used tactics like providing hookers to run up this debt. Now Wynn and his lawyers have filed a defamation suit back saying that these claims are untrue and are libel.

I just end up giggling at all of this mess that happens in Las Vegas. Only in May the casino had to file suit against Charles Barkley for his $400,000 in gambling debt at the Wynn casino. I think Barkley has since paid it back but has been bad mouthing the casino all over radio shows and appearances that the casino “will get theirs one day”. It’s a casino… that’s their job is to take your money so I can’t think of how they would get “theirs” like something illegal took place.

I had always heard rumors from girls who have worked in Las Vegas for 15-20 years previously as prostitutes and now as girls who answer the phones as escort services, that Steve Wynn used to be notorious for having ladies over at the Mirage in it’s opening hay days and that he was quite a party animal and spender. I am sure he has grown up since then and just likes to make his customers happy now with girls. Do I believe that Steve Wynn falsified documents and the $2 million in debt is untrue? No… I am sure it is completely true because this is not the mob days of doctoring books and the agencies track things really well now. I think Joe Francis has been getting away with a lot of things in the past years with his Girls Gone Wild empire but it’s all starting to catch up with him. Sorry Joe… not everything is for free. Especially girls!

While I was gone a friend shared this story with me (I hate to link to TMZ since it’s so silly but for some reason it was the most detailed report I could find!) and I nearly died laughing. Wow, they really beat out all of the other girls I can think of for the “Dumbest Prostitute of The Year” award. Apparently how the story goes is that there were two sisters were in the VIP valet area when one of them approached Steve Wynn and solicited him. In the police report it was reported that she said, “Do you want to get laid?” which is just absolutely ridiculous because no girl, I don’t care how dumb, would say that. They would say “do you want a date” or “lets go have a drink in your room” not just straight out “wanna fuck?” Anyway, Steve Wynn gets peeved and grabs the girl in some sort of chokehold according to the girls and when she struggles to get away he latches on tighter and calls for security. Meanwhile, the sister came up and open-hand slapped Steve Wynn in the face. Wow, that takes some nerve and I am sure this girl had no idea who she was dealing with.

What ticks me off is the police report since it’s obviously doctored up for Mr. Wynn and his “side” of the story. I believe what TMZ posted is the real report since the font and styling is like reports I have had from car incidents. Besides what I mentioned earlier of the verbal exchange between the two, the part about how he merely “wrapped his arms around [her] shoulders” is I think far from the truth because if someone was so nicely and gently “wrapping” their arms around someone and there was a struggle, this hold would not have kept her contained. I don’t think he physically wrapped has hands around her neck or something, but I am sure quite a bit more force was used than told in the report. On Fox 5 Las Vegas’ site they got to interview one of the sisters and she claimed that Steve Wynn had approached her and repeatedly called her Jaime like a mistaken identity. Who knows but things smell fishy from both sides and I am sure the girls will have to find a good lawyer to defend themselves. Also there are rumors one of the sisters is trying to sue Wynn but I doubt that will happen.

Oh and another thing to point out that seems sketchy… how would some random girl be able to walk up to a big casino mogul like that without 30 security guys protecting him? Sheldon Adelson has crazy security guards, along with Kirk Kirkorian and etc. It was also stated the first person to “help” was a valet guy? Quite pathetic if that was my first line of defense being the casino owner.

So I’ve been back in Vegas for a few days. Got the bags finally unpacked and have been busy keeping house since my brain just doesn’t want to get back on schedule! The first two days I came back were mediocre but last night ended up being decent and I am quite pleased. Lets keep that going!

A friend of mine recently found this article about how prostitution and the escort economy is going. I was pretty shocked that such a high profile business magazine would right an article about the escort business and how much of money goes into it and how many man actually participate (I think the figure is a little on the light side… it says 700,000 men when I believe they get that in the western half of the U.S. alone). It breaks down everything from the typical average joe wanting to blow a little cash to the middle of the road client who pays for dinner and the date afterwards, and finally to the high roller who jets his date around the world in his airplane while distracting the wife at home with a spa treatment. I found humor in it since they pinned it pretty good (and the pricing as well though I would say the average client spends more here in Las Vegas on an escort than say… Miami). I applaud them for actually including it into the economy.

Anyway… I had an up and down weekend along followed with a good Monday. Friday night was terrible. I had made some money on two calls and I went to the MGM Signature section and saw a British couple. I collected the fee and they seemed to agree and completely understand what was going on and that I worked off of tips. Unfortunately, after getting naked and dancing, they didn’t want to tip very much (the company’s fee was the same amount as what they wanted to spend which just isn’t fair) and wanted some crazy threesome. Sorry but I just couldn’t stay… so I try to get them a cheaper girl and they freak. They don’t want me they don’t want anyone they just want the fee back. Its non refundable just as I told them before collecting it and I get on the phone with the girl at the agency who booked the call and as I put my phone down the guy grabs it and says, “Let me talk to her!” I said please give me back my phone that is my property. He refuses and hangs up on the phone girl. He says give me the money back or you don’t get your phone. I try calling from the room phone they wont let me. Every time I pick up the room phone to try and call my boss (and my friend) and he hangs it up from the other phone in the room. I am stuck and this goes on for like half an hour until he picks up the phone, calls security and says that someone has broken into his room and needs help. I freak out… I would have called security first but I am officially trespassing by being on an MGM property so when they see my ID I am screwed (and perhaps be arrested). I would have left my phone (if it was backed up recently and I have insurance so it would have cost me $50) and chunked the one he had in the tub and walked out. I was just stuck and macing 2 people ganging up on me is next to impossible without knowing some sort of fighting skills. Sigh…

Saturday I spent at the Chicken Ranch for the Sin City Chamber of Commerce’s annual Chili Cookoff and Golf Tournament. Quite a lot of fun and I was running on no sleep after that horrible event the night before (what I SHOULD have done kept racing through my head over and over). Had quite a bit of fun and beers and was surprised to meet Amanda from texasgoldengirl.com and a representative from Desiree Alliance. I wish I had been a bit more talkative and gotten a chance to get some interviews from the working girls at the Ranch but alas, I kind of was shy and didn’t get take the opportunity. All I know is I have a better understanding of what girls charge and how I don’t sound so ridiculous now charging what I do in Las Vegas. It’s just too far of a drive for a brothel, in my opinion.

Recently I found an article in the Review Journal about a school from Lynchburg, Virginia who decided to take a field trip to the brothels outside of Las Vegas. Not your ordinary field trip for sure. The class sounded like an interesting one though and consisted of examining how we all are consumers and what do we consume. They visited northeastern Nevada where they want to pipe water for several hundred miles to Las Vegas (a plan I don’t agree with for sure), some farms, and last but not least the Chicken Ranch Brothel out in Pahrump, Nevada (one of Las Vegas’ closest bordellos people can visit). Apparently the media got a hold of such a field trip and decided to join the 11 women visiting from the Virginia school at the Chicken Ranch. I wish I would have known because I would have wanted the tour as well! I have read the book about the Mustang Ranch by Alexa Albert and have always been curious to learn more about the legal side of prostitution.

Anyway why I mentioned this article is because I was slightly shocked at the women being open minded to such a discussion. One girl was quoted saying, “”People keep asking me if this has changed my opinion about prostitution. I’m not sure I had an opinion on prostitution.” She said also that she “found it hard to condemn the industry after seeing it in person.” Good article and I love hearing about normal people experiencing different things and having an open mind about it. Wish more Americans were the same way…  Here is some more legal Nevada brothel information.
