The Las Vegas Courtesan

Whew back from another mini-trip. Hopefully this return back home will be better than last time.

While driving around LA last weekend, I had seen that the new Showtime series for “Secret Diary of A Call Girl” was starting up. Loved the billboards on the side of the road along with an ad for the new “Weeds” season… sexy for sure.
Pretty interested in seeing it and I have my recorder set for Monday. Didn’t know till I was reading around that the series had aired in the UK and was imported here unedited. Good… hate it when they do that.

Anyway.. glad to see and hear that this actually went off. I read Belle du Jour’s blog for a long time and was quite interested in seeing how all of this panned out. I actually ran across her book while in an erotic book store in the Northwest this past week. Almost bought it but then a slew of rare erotic photo books caught my eye and had put it back. Amazon will have to do then.

I forgot to mention before my previous little trip at the end of May I ventured up to the Bay Area and thought of calling a regular customer of mine who comes to Vegas for meetings quite a bit. He said to call him if I ever was needing cash or visiting nearby to meet up for the usual amount he pays but would get a room and pay for a flight if necessary. Apparently my blow jobs work some sort of “miracle” for him so he spends quite a bit. I decided to take him up on the offer and it actually worked out and fit time into both of our schedules. Trip was paid for at the start.. awesome! It does bug me that since I have seen him more than twice that he thinks I will suddenly become relaxed on my rules for being safe and clean. Just because I “know” him now doesn’t mean I am going to risk myself so he feels better. It makes me angered on the inside that men risk themselves and their own partner to get an unprotected bj or something more just so they can feel better. People should feel ashamed but.. of course they don’t.

Wow back from my trip and see people responded quite a bit to my last post before I left.

Since there’s so much to reply to I’ll just make an entry and then in a separate one telling of the horrible situation I had to deal with tonight. What a welcome back to home to Vegas, experience I went through!

Whomever posted as “I”: Unfortunately there’s no easy solution to pin pointing ads on eros or some such as agencies just by looking at them. Even some single girl independent sites are run through services. You just need to call around and figure things out on your own and if the girl who answers says “I answer the phone for the girls” translates to probably being a service. Dealing with services isn’t a bad thing you just have to understand you’re in for paying a little more for someone to send you a girl like room service. Casino/nightclub girls can be an okay bet but always be cautious of who you take back and not knowing even where she came from.

DRR: I have never heard a story like that but I have heard of girls getting fake chips (like what they sell in souvenir shops) and I have had a guy try to give me a chip from a roulette table (same kind of chip for tourney’s). I completely don’t doubt a poker player trying to pull some game like that. .. thanks for reminding me to watch for the annual poker players at the Rio! Can be a good crowd 🙂

jaecyn: Wow really sorry to hear about that… sad to hear you also picked up the phone so easily and resorted to calling security. I really hate it when people don’t just say “hey I don’t like you leave” or some other lame excuse and immediately shoo the girl off. Calling security when you haven’t even given her money is kinda like tattling to your parents when your sister is bugging you. In the end it makes everyone look like an idiot by reacting that way. You did the right thing when you got the phone call from the “driver” … next time just say leave I don’t like you than resorting to such unnecessary measures.

I can’t wait to write about the horrible mess I went through tonight… can’t wait to talk to my lawyer on Monday, too.

I have a lot of customers who see me through agencies I work for who are confused and a lot of times want to argue about what and what I do not make out of initial fees. Lately the trend is for people to argue that I am lying about how much of the fee they paid do I actually keep. When I tell them honestly I make nothing out of it they cry bullshit and sometimes it ends up souring my mood when people want to argue right off the bat. I mean if a fee is a couple of hundred dollars and the girl actually got to keep a portion of it then it would be along the lines of $50 which barely fills up a tank of gas these days…

So my point to all of this is to share with people how things really break down here in Las Vegas with escort services compared to other cities. Things work differently everywhere you go when trying to find an escort whether in the U.S. or abroad and hopefully I can explain things that go on behind-the-scenes with agencies.

Each company works a little differently but all around they generally follow the same guidelines:

Company #1: One of the main companies I work for relies solely on the referral business from cab drivers, limo drivers, and VIP hosts. Since cabbies and the like can be tough to deal with this company has been forced to raise their fees up over the years that I have worked for them. Their fee is now $250-$300. Yea it’s nuts and it does sometimes cause problems when customers really don’t believe that I walk away with any of that amount. Believe me I don’t! This is how it breaks down:

$250 fee collected = Cabbie gets $200 of it + $50 goes to owner of the company
Girl is tipped lets say $400 = 20% to the phone girl who booked the call and depending on the tip the company gets what’s called a “bring up” of $25. The more the entertainer gets tipped… the more the “bring up” is. Each company has their own “bring up” levels.

In the end, this example of a call gets split up like this
Cabbie= $200
Owner= $75
Phone Girl= $80
Entertainer= $295

Company #2: This example applies to a number of other companies I work for. They advertise by handing out those cards on the strip, magazines in the racks on the road, mobile billboard trucks, and the internet.

The fees range from $100 a girl to $250 depending on the where the customer found the advertisement and can be lowered depending on the circumstances. This fee goes 100% back to the company. The entertainer works off of tips after the fee is collected and is up to the girl to negotiate that of course. Some of these types of companies charge 10% for the bring up and 20% goes to the phone girl.

For example if a girl made $500 tip and picked up a $150 fee it would break down like this:
Owner/Company= $200 ($150 fee + $50 from the 10% “bring up”)
Phone Girl = $100
Entertainer = $350

So why do I work for agencies? You can read that in my previous post about questions asked repeatedly… In the end I just can’t solely live off of my internet bookings. After all this is a town where people act on impulse not necessarily something they would plan as much as if they were back home.

I saw a comment someone posted (number 6) on this entry and thought, “Hey that would be a good idea for a post!” At first I thought it was spam but I don’t think it is… well whatever the case is it gave me a good idea. Basically the person listed a whole bunch of sites which are not related to each other (some are owned by the same agencies though) and asked which ones would be good to deal with and which ones had their real girls pictured, etc. I wont list these sites again because, hey, they are my competition! What I will do is give some pointers to people who do shop around on the web for escorts and maybe how to save a little cash.

Escort web sites in Las Vegas are a dime a dozen. There are some companies that own several sites as a group but unless you really know the owners personally, you might not know that from just looking at them. For the most part, the girls on these websites are just models. Due to sketchy owners around Las Vegas in the past I don’t sign model releases so that my pictures will go on their site for fear if I quit working there my picture will stay there, plus a lot of girls are scared they will be found by friends or family. There is no guarantee that I will even actually get the calls from my ad on their site so why bother? I have independent ventures of my own and would like to keep it that way. Usually what happens is the phone girl tries to match up the girl in the picture with a girl who looks very similar to the model the guy is requesting. Some people are honest about this practice and some just take the chance. Some guys understand, some get pissed and won’t let the girl into the room. I understand if a guy gets pissed because you’re starting the whole thing off on a lie.

Eros, at least for Las Vegas, is a hit or miss. I have my own personal ads on there along with some of the girls but I would say approximately 50% or more at models that ring a number to an agencies office. Usually when the girl says “it’s $250-$300 to reserve your time up to an hour and get me naked” it’s probably a service. When I get calls I quote my minimum to start and tell them how that isn’t a fee but any other entertainment I can discuss in person and it goes up from there. If we don’t work something out then no hard feelings… just gas money would be nice. I have never had anyone turn me down once they met me 🙂

My hint for saving money? If you are for sure you are dealing with a service (don’t try this if you aren’t sure) then try to talk the fee down and see if they will still send you a girl. It may or may not work depending on the company or the phone girl. It leaves more money for you to tip for what you really want.

Another tip… if you find a website that you like and want a girl, the best way I think to get a girl you like is just give the phone girl a description of what you want. If the girl who shows up isn’t what you like, they can always try again. After all they want to make you happy and spend your money, of course.

Most annoying thing to me? Is when I explain I am 100% independent and tell them there isn’t a fee just to show up, they argue or hang up. Don’t always assume the girl is from a service!

Well… I haven’t been working much lately this week due to an out of town visitor followed by a respiratory infection. Yuck. I sound lovely.
