5 Ways Las Vegas Prostitutes Scam You

[@MisterEMystery]

Wow! Illegal prostitution in Las Vegas has gotten so out of hand in the last 35 years. I had more action when I lived there than I did in the 3 days I was there prior to moving, when I was checking out where I was going to rent/live, but the prostitutes I came across were just trying to either score their next “ drug hit” or pay their own rent. The scenarios you talk about in this vid are way more in depth than TV shows and movies depict. On the other hand, it sounds like the pimps and girls have paid attention to those scripts and realized how stupid “johns” really are. I came across one at a bar in Westgate (back then it was the Las Vegas Hilton). Most of the time though I found them near the places they lived. I actually got to know some over several days before hooking up. That was years ago - I don’t do that anymore. I’ve become asexual since.

[@shaft5]

So I used to work the graveyard shift at the Diamond Inn, across the street from the Mandalay Bay and I remember 2 times where prostitutes drugged men and stole money from them. One of those occasions placed me in an awkward situation because a prostitute escorted a Swedish or Danish tourist to his room and 5 minutes later came back to the lobby where I worked and took his credit card and kept making withdrawals. She said the tourist wanted to give her a “birthday present”. She made about 5 withdrawals before the card finally declined. I believe she probably got about $1,000. Now here is where it gets funny: At one point she mentioned she was wearing makeup (she was a BEAUTIFUL black woman with an amazing face and body) and I said “wait…youre wearing makeup?”. At first she was like “cmon man, are you serious?” I got close to her face, squinted and looked carefully at her face and said “youre wearing makeup?” She then got visibly emotional and said “I love you!” and gave me a $20 bill and left. True story.

As a security guard who works at one of the strip properties, everything he said is spot on. He also should have added that even if security and police are able to help you in a situation involving a prostitute, you'll still be charged for soliciting sex, so you'll be a victim and be slapped with a charge, its a terrible idea so just ignore those women as tempting as they are. The only advice I can say is that if you get into any trouble at an MGM, Caesars, or any mega resort casino, notifying security is way more effective than trying to fix the problem yourself or calling the police. We know the property better than you do and we can direct police, paramedics, and provide first aid way faster than any other help can arrive. Good video.

Yet you don't get any money back if you leave with a clean chest, and every time, if you stand in the hall for a few minutes on your way out, you'll here a toilet flush within 5 minutes!! Almost every bitch drops what shoulda been YOUR heat as soon as you leave and just fakes not being able to cover your chest so that it looks like a Pollock painted with wet dook!! Apparently, rolling around in a baby pool covered in shit while pissing on yourself "takes up too much of their "valuable" time" and they have to either "clean up and cover the smell of shit or pay for and move to another room" cause thats sooo difficult, besides its THEIR shit, the smell shouldn't be THAT bothersome..... Anyway, Im just saying, when you're in this situation, and lets be honest you'll DEFINITELY be in this situation, don't pay to have a whore unload her ass on your chest upfront, hold the cash earmarked for this part of the service until after that dump is delivered to your satisfaction.... otherwise, theres a really good chance that you won't be spreading shit all over yourself and pissing into your own face and if you can't do that, then what are you paying a whore for?

I work in IT. A few years ago I worked for the venetian and palazzo hotels. They had company-wide meetings where they talked about security. One of the things that they mentioned was making sure that your hotel door is always shut. Because people would get in to the hotel halls, push on the hotel room door, and then get into your room and steal your stuff.

I’ve been going to Vegas for probably 30yrs. I don’t normally “hit” the tables until later in the night. Hit some slots around 10pm and go from there. Around 11pm on, you’ll begin to see very young (20ish) very attractive woman (Alone), start showing up hanging around the elevators. One night during my last trip, around 12:30am or so, I was headed up to my room to grab a pack of smokes, when a young lady said “hi”. I stupidly said hello back. You going to your room, she asked, I said yep, going to grab smokes. Can I go with you? What for, I’ll be back down here in 5 min. Your married aren’t you Nope Well, I’m gonna go with you No, your not. Tell you what, if you’re still here when I come back down, maybe we can talk. (which I had no intention of doing) Ok, I’ll be here I spent an extra few minutes in my room and came back down, and she was gone. Guys, these “ladies” will hover around the tables and see what kind of “stack” you have. They see you away from the tables, they’ll “attack”. Not only was I going to grab smokes, I wanted to put about $3500 in the safe in my room. Go there enough, they’re easy enough to spot.

So the driver rolls down the window, I open the door from the outside and I get out immediately and bailed with my friend.

They couldn't be more obvious. They normally work in pairs though as I've had them approach me. The 1st thing they love to ask? "So where you from?" The very second I say "I'm a local." they become annoyed and wander off. They very much only like to prey on the Tourists.

[@glengilbow8068]

Yes it’s the same all around the world, where are you from? In third world countries they can be the hardest to shake because they’re more desperate. Especially in Bali but I figured out the quickest way to ditch them if you’re tired and done of their shit. Before they get close enough to even talk to you hold your hands out to each side and say “I have no money!” It ends it right then and there!

[@rockoorbe2002]

I had a few approach me at casinos. Now I lived temporarily in Vegas since I was working as a roofer for a federal contractor in Nellis AFB and so our bosses ended up renting us some apartments. So every other weekend we went out to the Strip. And that's where I would have women, mostly Asian women try to start chit chat with me while I played slots. Now a high school friend of ours who was already living in Vegas warned us before hand that these women were either hookers who could also be thieves or even worse, undercover cops. It didn't help that I was 20 so for the first few weeks I was already breaking the law by gambling while underage. It came to the point where I stopped being nice and told them to piss off. Besides, if you do want to hook up, it's not that hard. There's plenty of regular clubs, strip clubs, bars, etc. Plus unless they're a giga Chad, men inevitably pay for sex one way or another so you may end up buying a girl a drink or whatever and take her back to your place, which we did. And of course, the aforementioned escorts, which you can contact via the cards that they give out at the Strip. And you do see them with rich old farts riding in Vipers and Ferraris looking miserable but hey, they're probably making at least $1k that night

I dont know whether that is because I only stayed at the Luxor and moved between Mandalay Bay/Luxor/Excalibur/MGM Grand or not, but even though I was constantly on guard, I was surprised that I wasnt in any tough spots. Who knows...maybe it was my being on guard that saved me from people trying to acam in first place. One thing Ill say is that upon returning to the UK, it took me a week to readjust to reality. People who havent been to LV cannot comprehend the size and scale of the place. I wouldn't ever want to go back there. The anxiety I had from constantly being on guard was horrible.

I never scammed anyone, but I also never went to a hotel or apartment without a room number. Robbers who couldn’t afford a room would ambush women in the hallway, stairwell, or double doors. It happened to me half a dozen times, at least. A girl wants to be able to ring an apartment buzzer and get an answer, or watch/listen for lights and sounds in the room to verify that there’s a paying occupant. Also, predators would give you one room number and come up behind you from the room across from it. Or they’d give the wrong room number so no one could come to your rescue. No way I’d meet with anyone who wouldn’t tell me where they’re at. If I got a room number and any other door opened or I was approached on the way to the room, I’d run.

The taxi driver kept asking if we wanted to go get up with some girls ( I didn't really want to but I didn't want to be "that guy" while my other two friends were all for it, but I should've let them go and just went back to my hotel). It's clear that taxi drivers and these establishments are in cohoots. We get to the place and it is the absolute hood. We walk in which is $40 to get in the door. They brought out the girls and you pick one then go to a room (that's another $200). Now, I feel really awkward and just kinda sat there talking to her. because I felt guilty I dunno, that's just not my thing. Then here it comes, more money. I realize it's not gonna end so I just leave. I asked the dude if I could just wait on my friends but being the sleeziest person I've ever met in my life (appearance and personality) he wouldn't let me so I left. I walked out and and stood at the street praying for another cab to come by. A huge dude walks out of the same place I was just in and stares me down. There were sketchy ass people walking around everywhere and I just knew some bad shit was about to happen. Luckily a cab pulled up and I flagged him down like my life depended on it- which it probably did. I made it back to the hotel and a couple hours later my two friends did as well.

Of course the drink prices were over-inflated, and they would continue to place charges on your card as long as they could keep you there. The guy told me one was lucky to escape with no less that $1000 or more charged to your card. If you complained, they had bouncers that would give you a hard time.

Yes, "escorts" drugging men happens quite a bit. I met an escort who wanted a drink so she suggested a bar and took me there, she asked to take a sip of my drink, turned her head, then gave the drink back to me, next thing I know I was a zombie with no more money.

In the 1960's Germany, prostitution was legal and regulated by the government. I spent 3 years there and the girls were great and friendly. There were never any incidents at all at any of the clubs or brothels. The cost was $12.00, good ol Army days.

[@meisterproper8304]

[@sassyfrass7029]

Moved here to open Wynn Las Vegas with 20+ years in the industry. Worked in slot management on the night shift. Passed time by talking to the prostitutes in the casino- we all knew who they were and they were only chased out when a wife or girlfriend complains. Usually a 3 day period where security and management cared, and then back to a free for all. The ladies would tell us how they worked the scams and we would watch the pick ups all night making bets on how long it would take before we see them come back down. Most I knew worked in teams and staked out their marks by watching what they are spending and how intoxicated they were. They would find out from the cocktail servers who actually had a room at the hotel, and most times they got a little something to help target a mark with intel from the server. One of the moves is to pick up a guy… both accompany to ATM… one stands back to get the pin while the other is rubbing on and distracting the mark. They both go to the room, continue to ply the mark with alcohol until he passes out. Then they proceed to rob him blind. Most marks are not going to contact anybody because they are scared of being outed and may be embarrassed.

[@Ner0sys7]

I lived in Vegas my whole life up until 2020. 34 years. I was also the Grave Security Manager at a resort off the strip. Don't hire escorts. Don't go looking for prostitutes. You're gonna get robbed, stabbed, sick etc. Just go to literally any bar. If you aren't a total incel or an asshole, you'll get laid (if you're an asshole you're probably still gonna get laid)

I used to go to Vegas for work about twice a month. Every time I had a girl ask me if I wanted to party I replied, 'Sure, I charge $900/hr or $6k for the whole night....plus tip." Some were taken back, some rolled their eyes and some just stood there like 'what did this DadBod guy say to me?' But they all walked away. One time I had one plop down next to me on a bar stool and start the soft sell. I asked where she was from and it turned out to be my home town. After I told her it was my home town, "Oh I just move there from XYZ" Turns out XYZ is where I was living at the time as well. I didnt even get to finish informing her that I lived there as she just got up and walked off. 'Ill tell everyone you said hi!' I got the bird in response. So yea.....there is something about being #67 for the week that doesnt make me feel special.

When I was 4 years old my dad started taking me to the Mustang Brothel. We would go on Sunday afternoons about once a month. Back then the Mustang was in Wadsworth a few miles farther east than were the brothels are now. Prostitution was illegal in Washo county but not in Story county. I would sit on the ladies laps while my dad did business. He owned a drug store in Reno with a Revlon franchise so sold cosmetics and sundries to the sex workers. Both my mom and dad were for legalized prostitution for a bunch of reasons I didn't understand. Going out there was always fun because the girls smelled good and made a fuss over me. Reno was a great place to grow up in.

I live about 90 miles from Vegas and have been there a lot to know a few things. #1 Hookers are sitting in slot machines along with spotters while playing the bare minimum so they can stare at your machine and see how much your total is. They will either approach you or have the spotter follow you to try and rob you. #2 Hookers will come to the tables, and will play the bare minimum in order to chat up and proposition the guy with a respectable stack of chips. #3 Immediately report a hooker that has propositioned you to the nearest pit boss or security officer and tell them the amount she propositioned you for. #4 I can tell from experience who's from out of town looking to have fun #5 I have a policy of not buying drinks for women I don't know. I typically hook up with college girls on spring break. #6 When I go alone I leave town as soon as I win or lose and get a burrito before hoping on the I 11. #7 All those girls playing you for drinks are hookers anyways. #8 If you're gonna John or hook up in Vegas hide your money and valuables before the encounter. Be creative and don't use the safe because if the point a gun on you, you'll open it regardless. #9 Everyone in town is looking to hustle you. #10 You're better off jacking off in your room because you'll return home with your money and valuables and no STD's or a criminal rap sheet.

Best advice: You don't need Las Vegas in your life. At all. It's not that great. The lights are pretty, sure, but you are not Robert DeNiro or Joe Pesci in the movie Casino, and you never will be unless you are a famous rich person. You're not the dudes from The Hangover 1, 2, or 3. If you can make it to your 30's, once you've grown up, you won't even miss it. If God ever told me he was going to remove all the memories I have of Las Vegas, as if they never happened, I would tell him, "Good. Be my guest!" That city does not care about you, nor do the people in it. I love/d partying as much as the next guy, but Vegas is just empty and hollow inside. You'll never make any meaningful memories in Vegas that ever stack up to making memories with your family and friends at much more respectable places. Unless you are completely oblivious to people using you, and you are more than fine with that, Vegas isn't your thing.
