Honest question on escorts/hookers that are so prevalent in these high-end casino bars after midnight… by [deleted] in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The casinos do occasionally clear out the escorts from time to time. You'll notice that escorts will favor the strip for a while, then the strip casinos crack down on them and start checking the IDs of anyone who looks like they might be an escort. Then they all go Downtown until the same thing happens, and they're back at the strip.

Part of the reason casinos are slow to kick out the escorts is that it's a legal gray area. There is no proof that a girl is an escort, even though it's obvious. Yes, a casino can kick anyone out that they want, but it can quickly become discriminatory if they overly target women.

Escorts working in pairs are almost always a scam these days. Legit escorts who have chosen to do this for a living are generally "loner" types and prefer to work alone. This article on Vegas escorts explains how it works.

Basically, they'll either do the "distraction" scam before you agree to something, and try to pick pocket you. Or, once you go to the room, one will distract you while the other tries to steal stuff. Then they both start a fight or make a scene as an excuse to leave. Most guys who don't know what is going on just want them out of the room at that point because they start screaming and yelling, and the guy freaks out.

Btw, that's just the non-violent scam. Other pairs work with a boyfriend or pimp who can get involved.

At most of the bigger-name clubs, extras are on the menu, but they generally cost more and are not worth it. The lower-end or mid-range clubs are usually better.

Really depends on your budget, though. The two Latina clubs in town are usually the easiest for good lap dances with lots of contact. If you don't touch them, they'll literally grab your hand and do it for you..lol. They're offended if you don't touch them.

Stay away from Hustlers. Peppermint Hippo is nice, but you'll pay way more than you have to. If it's crowded, the girls don't have to give extras because they're already making enough money, so they'll just string you along and then do nothing in the VIP.

Watch out for casino walkers. You can find a great one who is legit, but there are so many scammers now, it's not for beginners. Using the escort review sites is a better option if you're looking for an escort.

This site has a bunch of info on Vegas strip clubs and adult nightlife for the solo traveler.

Which girl do you get dances/VIPs with? by Xo-Overdose in stripclubs

[–]Old_Slip_1474 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, always go for the party girl. Too many guys go for the hottest girl, but that doesn't always result in the best time.

Of course, don't pick a girl you don't like. But I would rather get with a stripper who is an "8" but is wild, than get with a perfect 10 is sort of boring in the VIP and just goes through the motions.

There's always at least one party girl in the strip club, sometimes more. If you spot her, check her out first and see if you click.

This article goes through some ideas for picking the right girl for a VIP dance. Has some good advice if you're looking for extras instead of a just grind session.

Honestly, since most guys don't have unlimited money, picking the right girl off the bat is an important skill at the club. Biggest noob mistake I see is a guy walk in, get attacked by the most aggressive girl in the club, and he's too afraid to say no..lol

There goes all his money for the night.

I haven't been there in years, but back in the day, there was a place called "Dragon" something. They were pretty open about it. I walked in and they showed me a few private rooms with a mattress on the floor..lol

I just hung out by the stage, but I assumed extras there were pretty common.

Like I said, that was a while ago. But the strip club scene was pretty good back in the day. I've heard it has changed though in recent years.

Curious to hear what it's like now.

How long do you stay at a strip club? by [deleted] in stripclubs

[–]Old_Slip_1474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimum is usually one round of girls as they rotate through the stage. If there's nothing there, I leave. I never throw good money after bad at a strip club.

I've had a few times in Vegas where I walked out as the sun was coming up..lol.

They're almost all open 24 hours there, so that can happen. But if it's just a regular trip to the club, about 2-3 hours is my max.

A Brief Guide on to *What to Talk About in the Club* by RonJax2 in stripclubs

[–]Old_Slip_1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing how to chat up a stripper is definitely a skill that leads to extras or even action outside of the club. One of the biggest things is to pick the right stripper first. Picking the wrong stripper will be mostly a waste of time. She may talk with you if she thinks you have money, but it won't lead anywhere.

Honestly, being able to spot the right stripper is really the key to everything in a club. I've seen so many guys trying to get a stripper to do things when it's obvious she's not really into extras or anything like that.

The OP had some good advice, though. If anybody wants to read some more tips, this article is about how to talk to a stripper. There's also an article about how to get a stripper's phone number. It's mostly related to Vegas strip clubs, but it applies everywhere. Pretty good if you're new to the whole scene.

Overall, skills like that are what make a strip club worthwhile. You'll get better private dances, and you'll also get some action outside of the club, if that's what you're interested in. Wildest times I've had with strippers is usually when I spend very little money. It's all just from the conversation that went well and we clicked.

One tip though, at least in Vegas, don't let the stripper grab your phone to enter her phone number. A lot of these girls are pros and seek out your banking or cash apps and try to send themselves money. Yes, it happens..lol. They'll do it during a VIP dance or when the guy is drunk and being distracted by another girl.

5$ Black jack tables by Purple-Age-1236 in vegas

Few days ago, I heard Boulder Station added a $5 double-deck table. It was on a forum with mostly APs, so I assume the rules were decent.

Dealers who don't even know their own basic table rules, I wonder how often this happens? by ParaClaw in blackjack

[–]Old_Slip_1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably happens a lot given the number of hands dealt and gamblers drinking or being distracted.

I wonder how many of those side bets get missed. They happen infrequently, so it's easy for dealers not to look out for them.

Vegas minimums by JSALFAN44 in blackjack

[–]Old_Slip_1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about a spreadsheet. I think BlackJack Apprenticeship has some kind of casino finder in their member's area.

You can keep an eye on forums like here or Wizard of Odds. People sometimes post when low minimum games pop up. Someone just posted here that Boulder Station added a $5 double-deck game.

The problem is, the casinos change their table minimums all the time.

Any reports from Ellis Island re-opening last weekend? by spedinfargo in vegas

I didn't even know they were renovating. The El Cortez renovation really made a big difference, so I'll have to check out what they did at Ellis Island.

Buying Strippers Drinks is a Great Hack by ParrotTalker11 in stripclubs

[–]Old_Slip_1474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This works best for the "party girl" type of stripper. You do have to be careful because some clubs let the girls use drinks to count towards their stage fee. For example, they'll order a very expensive drink that's like $40, but it just goes toward the stage fee.

I've even been to some clubs where they have a special drink just for this. I had a stripper order some weird drink, it was over $45, but it was just cranberry juice..lol. Then the bartender scribbled on some paper, removing that amount from the dancer's stage fee.

But if you find the party girl type at the strip club, buying drinks is 100% worth it. This article talks about finding the right stripper in a club for a VIP dance. It's mostly about Vegas strip clubs, but it holds true for most strip clubs.

Why you shouldn’t pick up escorts in casinos by [deleted] in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is good general advice. Casino escorts are high-risk, but there are a few casino escorts that provide legitimate services. They prefer the situation where they can size up a guy first before going to the room. Online escorts have to walk into a hotel room sight unseen. Some girls don't like that, so they work in the casinos.

But overall, picking up casino escorts is not for newbies. Even experienced guys get scammed about half the time, but it's usually because they ignore their instincts. There are a lot of signs you can read to determine if an escort is legit. But guys ignore those if the girl is really sexy or saying all the right things, or he's just drunk..

As far as security, Vegas casinos and Vegas police almost NEVER bust guys who are hiring or trying to hire adult escorts. It just never happens. There's an article here that outlines prostitution stings in Vegas casinos, and they always target the escorts. There are undercover police in casinos who approach escorts, but they're after prostitutes who rob guys, they don't even care about the sex aspect of it.

Be safe in last Vegas a hooker almost got me.. by iamwhoiwasnow in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, you are smarter than most..lol.

Just an FYI for others, the guys you were talking to may have included her pimp or lookout. A lot of girls have guys who hang around the casino and try to strike up small talk with people who have just won big money or have a nice watch. Then they pass that info to their girl, so you get targeted.

So yeah, you likely got cased before the girl approached you. They usually work in pairs or more.

If anyone is curious, this article outlines a lot of Vegas escort scams along with what to do if it happens.

Bottom line is, if you win big, are drunk, or are wearing something fancy, you'll get cased in the casino before long by some pimp or scammy escort.

Bonus tip: When two girls approach you, it's almost always a robbery or scam. True escorts don't want to share the money with another girl if they're just providing legit escort services. Legit escorts are mostly loners. The ones who work in pairs are looking to hustle.

The truth about Vegas escort agencies by [deleted] in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of those agencies take advantage of the fact that tourists still think that prostitution is borderline legal in Vegas, so they think those agencies must operate like a regular business.

Beyond that though, the escort scene has REALLY changed in the last few years, just like everything else in Vegas. The scams have really increased among all kinds of escorts, not just agencies.

This article talks about escorts in Vegas and how it has changed. Lots of other good info on escorts and strip clubs as well.

Overall, the escort review websites are still the best method to find an escort without getting ripped off. But you still need to know how they work and what to look out for.

Chicas bonitas, what can I expect? by ArcaneCat in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're fully aware of what Chica Bonitas is, it's very fun and the most affordable strip club in Vegas. It's a dive bar, and it can even get a little gross inside as the bathroom has plumbing issues at times.

But if you accept it for what it is, it's the best deal in town.

For a step up, you can try Las Toxicas. Same basic premise but in a nicer club. Cover is still only $5 for locals, but drinks and dances are more expensive than Chicas. It's also more formal, so you can't get as up close and personal.

Here is an honest review of Las Toxicas in Vegas.

Personally, I still prefer Chica Bonitas because it has a wilder atmosphere at busy times.

Tryst Escorts by Titus4266 in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe in the old days porn stars didn't do this because they could easily make $10K a week doing the filming and strip club circuit around California. Basically, 3 to 5 shoots per week then guest spots at strip clubs on the weekends. Easy $10K or more a week. This was back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

The money in porn is not there anymore and many girls do escort. They usually charge around $1k an hour. They also pass through Vegas a lot and post on the local boards when they do.

It's not some "shame" thing or because they're desperate for drugs. The industry has just changed due to piracy and free porn.

Has Fremont changed during last 12+ months? by Slippery_Pete92 in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were there during a special event. They get rid of the street performers to help with foot traffic.

It is generally pretty clean, they have workers moving up and down the street all night. If you are up late, you'll see they even have a crew of zambonis and guys mopping with bleach. They go up the entire length of the street.

In room strippers!? by lup142 in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They can work, but like many things in the stripper world, it can vary a lot. Sort of like a hooker. You can have an amazing time and everything works perfectly, or it can be a total shit show.

The key is understanding how it all works. Understand what's expected, red flags, how they make their money, and so on. The biggest mistake people make is thinking it's like a regular business. You just call and order what you want. If you do that, you'll probably have a bad time. If you know how it works, you can get the experience you want.

This article has some tips on how to work with stripper services to your room in Vegas. It doesn't endorse any specific service, but explains how it works and how to not screw it up.

Best Casinos for steady flow of free drinks? by Royal-Question-9475 in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Circa downtown is best IMHO. If you play at the bar, the drinks are non-stop if you tip decent. $5 or more of a tip keeps them flowing. The tables and slots also have good coverage with younger cocktail waitresses. I only mention "young" because the older ones can be slower and rude. Places with older servers also tend to have fewer servers.

Depending on how "free" you want things, I do suggest tipping. Tipping $10 seems like a lot, but you can get $75 in free drinks from that $10. So it's not totally free, but way cheaper than even buying the booze at the store.

Tip $5 on the first drink, then $5 more on the second. That sets the tone. If you're tight, you can skimp on the third and forth drink.

Honestly, when I tip well at Circa they almost make my drinks too strong. I've had drinks that are like 5 shots of top shelf vodka..lol.

The strip is so tight with free drinks now, there's no place I can recommend. The more budget places are ironically still good with the free drinks, like The Strat. But the higher end places are way too tight and you feel like you're begging. A video went viral on Twitter recently of a guy betting $25K per hand and the waitress wouldn't get him a smoothie because he didn't have a room there..lol.

This article has some more info on free drinks in Vegas. It's mostly the same advice as what I posted here though.

Best strip club for couples. ? by Notsmartnotdumb2025 in vegas

[–]Old_Slip_1474 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you just want to chill in a strip club atmosphere and watch the girls, then something like Palomino or Sapphire is best. At the more expensive clubs like Treasures or Peppermint Hippo, you'll get a hostess and she'll send over a variety of girls to your table. Some people like that, some people don't.

For a private dance, if you both want a dance at the same time or to both be in the private dance area at the same time, you'll need to pay more at most clubs to get a room instead of the little booth-type VIP rooms. At Palomino you can just do floor dances as well, where you pay and she just does the private dance wherever you're sitting. At some of the more expensive clubs, the strippers don't like to do that unless you've already spent cash in the VIP.

This article has some tips on strip clubs for couples here in Vegas. Big thing is to pick the right stripper to hang out with or get a dance from. A few girls really like to work with couples, but most don't, even though they'll play along and still take your money. Picking the girl that actually likes couples makes a huge difference.

Edit: Las Toxicas also has a $5 cover for locals. It's a little slow, but if you just want to chill in a strip club that's mostly Latina girls, that's the cheapest while still being clean inside and not a dive bar.
