[QUOTE=AcesUp219;4296987]She is officially retired. Never was offered anything but a HE there.[/QUOTE]When I called her she was outcall only, but still available.
So was planning to see Kellie tonight, but she said she was at best western rose Parkway, didn't take her up on it as wasn't sure if it was a sting or not?
Any one have any feedback they can share? There is both good and bad on here.

[QUOTE=SXDoctor;4297309]There is a certain age range where the only people they talk to on the phone are their parents. So part of it is cultural. You may be more comfortable with phone calls, but she may be more comfortable with texts.
There are guys out there who call and seems to be angling for some free phone sex, so it cuts down on wasted time. And it allows you to have simultaneous conversations with multiple clients in between seeing other clients, so it is practical and efficient. I'm sure there are also guys who would try to claim they agreed to a different price, when a text leaves no question. I can see how a woman might determine that clients who insist on phone calls tend to be more trouble than they are worth.[/QUOTE]I understand it's part of their culture and all that but like I said a 30 second phone call can easily and quickly weed out the fakes, it's also much more efficient because it replaces several back and forth text messages, neither party is wasting time waiting for a reply. How many times have you had a text message convo that takes an hour for three messages because you are waiting for a reply? And on that third text you get info that's a deal breaker, now you have wasted an hour.
The most important thing though is her safety, which is what I don't understand. After a few text messages setting up time, rates, location, etc. , I ask to speak to her on the phone, if she declines I will not see her, that happened last weekend, she didn't want to but picked up the phone. Unless she's well reviewed or referred, the phone call is the final determination for me if I'm going to see her. If I get a negative vibe, she sounds too ghetto or doesn't seem interested and somewhat excited about seeing me, that's usually an indication of how the date will go. That has been accurate for me 95% of the time. I worked again last weekend, didn't see the one I mentioned because she sounded half sleep and was rude on the phone, later I discovered horrible reviews that I missed when doing my research.
I would think that would be much more important for them.
They are real, sexy, sweet and provide, but 1st & foremost, they are hustlers, hookers hoes. What ever & I'm not talking Crap here, they will get you if they can & smile, Thats there job so just pay attention, I know how to work with them & still stay sharp when visiting them, haven't had any bad experiences exept when I was low on funds once, texted if amount was ok< & got A come on over!, when I got there I got service, just not what I wanted but hey, I didn't have full amount, & they are both so fkn sexy & soft.

Saw these two today. Hm. I'm conflicted. The positives: they were quite nice, talkative, made me comfortable, I like their small spinner frames, and they both liked to talk dirty.
But now the rest. I'd seen good reviews of them here and elsewhere. I had seen they offered GFE and double BBBJ with facial finish. Cool. I hit up Lynn, I ask for 1 hr full service with both. Got quoted $200. Cool, not bad. I get to their incall and all those positives happened first. I wished them Happy Mother's Day, in case they were mothers. Not only did they both say they were (with many kids between them), but both are also grandmothers. Yeah. I asked how accurate the 30 years old was that was listed on their ads. They said it was close. Lynn is 40 and Roxy is 37. Hm, not so close. And now this just became my first time with someone older than me. Haha.
They both said they were drinking a little bit. That didn't bother me. They didn't seem drunk. Quite the opposite. They were both pretty hyper instead, both while talking and in their movements. But before we began Lynn says she forgot to tell me facial finish was extra. I wish I'd have known before I hit the ATM. I happened to have an extra $20 in my wallet. I offered that and they accepted. They took turns with the BBBJ. I kinda thought it would be at the same time. This is also where they started rushing. Right off the bat. Each went at it for maybe a minute or two, then Lynn put the cover on me and told me to get on top for mish. I went at it while Roxy lied next to her, playing with herself. After a few minutes I asked Roxy if it was her turn. They told me it would cost more. Either I get to fuck Roxy or give her a facial. I was confused. Only fuck Lynn, only give Roxy facial. What? A few minutes later Lynn sits up and starts giving me a handy, saying she wanted to see me cum on Roxy's face. I was like, "Well, I can still go here. I'm not done. I paid for an hour. " They were like, "We don't charge by time. It's by satisfaction. " I'm thinking to myself, "I'd be satisfied if I got to fuck both of you and give you both facials. " But I didn't say anything. I didn't bother at this point. So, I just kept going at Lynn. Figured I'd try to get my money's worth. Lynn kept talking dirty and telling me next time if I paid more that she and Roxy would have fun together, and she'd lick my cum off her face, hit her from behind, and that all this other stuff would happen. I asked her, "So, no doggy?" She said no, it would cost more. But then again she pulled away after a few more minutes and said she wanted to jerk me off on Roxy's face. By this point I just figured I should get it over with and go. So Roxy lied on the bed with her head hanging off the side and Lynn was giving me a handjob with a fistful of coconut oil. There's a reason I pay for hours. And it's not because I can pop on command after 20 or 30 minutes. The coconut oil made it worse. There was no friction! She said her arm was getting tired and left me to finish. I had a hard time jerking myself off because there was so much damn coconut oil. Lynn went to go wash her hands and finally I was able to finish. Even though I warned her, once I began to cum she squealed and moved away and sat up and complained it was getting in her hair. When Lynn turned the lights back on to clean up Roxy, I saw no cum in her hair. In fact, I hardly saw anything except a little on her shoulder. Most of it went on the bed or the floor after she darted away.
We talked a little after as we all got dressed. As I said, they're nice chicks. I don't like being an asshole to people, even if I feel a little gypped. But I suppose I ought to blame myself for not being specific and not asking questions beforehand in the texts. I suppose I assumed from the ads and from the reviews that everything was included. But I should know better. This ain't my first time. Though I haven't seen someone new in quite a while. I probably won't return though, simply because I got the upsell and the rush treatment. But I could see myself grabbing a drink with them or something. Haha.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Throwaway3602;4297320]Deposit is a scam. They'll ask for cashapp, gift cards, etc. These are generally nigerian style scams from far away. This is why they won't pick up the phone or anything.
The only real providers that ask for deposits are porn stars or very very high end escorts that require a deposit to show you are real with your intent so you do not waste their time or are just some crazed fan hoping to meet the porn star with no intention on paying.[/QUOTE]No these are not Nigerian scams, they are real providers, it's just something that's happening more often lately. I get it for legit providers, it does weed out the fakes who are not serious or show up with no $ but they are also missing out big time on clients like me who refuse to pay a deposit. Some are scams but they are not in Nigeria. You mentioned that the only providers that ask for deposits are porn stars and high end escorts, well that's where this is coming from, the other providers pay attention and copy what they are doing. The risk for us is that any electronic cash transfer besides cryptocurrency leaves a paper trail.

[URL]https://40up.com.lasvegas.listcrawler.com/post/25137333/[/URL][/QUOTE]She is legit. I visited her last spring sometime at GVR hotel and it was ok. She was very attractive for being 58 years old at the time (she told me her real age) and the experience was good overall but she talked a lot, some of it was nonsense. A very nice lady but I left feeling it was just a bit weird. YMMV of course.
I posted a list of providers whom I have met of who have reviews, with some suggestions for screening, but the post was removed without any reason given, so I guess I will bow out, enjoy the day and keep safe, guysl Bass.

As I said, everyone else seems to have a great time with them. They kept trying to rush me with smiles on their faces and dirty talk, and I told them multiple times I'm not ready and I'd still like to keep going. But they made it weird for me and I just wanted to finish and go by that point. I still partially blame myself for not asking the right questions and making things clear before going over there. I do it for everyone else. I guess I just let my guard down with them because of the reviews and how open they seemed to be. I still probably won't give them a second chance though. There are others I'd still like to meet.

Don't see rates on LVAC, but DW mentions $300/ hour incall. Is LVAC the same? Screening easy / comfortable with these agencies? Was considering a drive to Sherri's, but damn it's far and I know I'll be paying at least double.
Also, any other reputable agencies anyone can point me in the direction of? Found this one.

If you want a good reputable agency see 100 proof. Girls are legit. Zap is a straight up guy.
Wish I knew what you're into and your budget, I could steer you in some direction.
Good luck.

[URL]https://40up.com.lasvegas.listcrawler.com/post/25137333/[/URL][/QUOTE]She's legit. One thing to take note. She has different prices on different sites. If you point it out to her, she freaks out. So I'm seeing a YMMV kinda gal. Diffent price= Differnt Servive.
I've seen quite a few girls who got the donation at the end of the visit. They will always ask up front. And I always tell them that I've been ripped off too many times to go along with that. They usually counter and say they've been ripped off before too and that's their policy without exception. Depending on the girl and the vibe I get, I'll offer to put it in plain site where neither of us can grab it. Sometimes I'll just thank them and tell them I'll be on my way. Sometimes they'll change their mind when they realize I will not.
This happened to me just yesterday seeing a new girl in my home state. I was in her bedroom, I had taken off all of my clothes and she was starting to take her clothes off when she asked for the donation. I think she waited until then thinking my little head would win over my big head once I was naked. We had the typical verbal exchange, both saying we had been ripped off in the past. So I started getting dressed again and she eventually gave in telling me she never ever does this and asking me to promise to pay her. It tended up being a good encounter and I plan to see her again.
This won't work with lots of girls. They'll let you leave. But if the girl gives me that vibe that she might be setting me up, I'm willing to leave. On my last visit to Vegas I had 2 girls come to my hotel and they both got the donation at the end of the visit. The escort agency and high end girls probably wouldn't do that, but I avoid them anyways and prefer the girl-next-door types.

She's pricy but hot in the pics. Any of you folks try her out. I find the thumbs up from this group to be more reliable than most other sites.
Any advise is welcome. For the prices. If there is better. That's welcome too! This is what I am looking for basically. But aren't we all!

I really cannot believe anyone would send money to a escort (hooker, etc.) money in advance. Don't do it! Does anyone know of anyone sending these women money in advance who really got to wind up in bed with them? What about reviews? Most reviews anymore are written by agency guys, and are too glowing. If a review starts with, "So I came to Las Vegas. " it is fake. The ranch girls are a real gamble, no GFE, and lots of milfs.
You can also be sure 100% that if the girl on the phone insists on your phone number, and won't meet in the lobby, you are getting an agency scammer, and often bait and switch. If you see an out of area code number, its a red flag. '.
If you want some reasonable gals, try these. I've seen most of them, or they have positive comments.
Try Kat Kovell, Audrey (the thin one), Heidi L, Sonia the redhead, Lexi at Ikea area, Kimmee, Sarah, Lauren, Pennie. These are the ones I know, let us know if you know more. Oh, and Indica and Abby are great, if you get them at the right time. A lot of the casino girls are just hookers who came in off the streets, and ask double fees. Some are ok, but be very careful. Ok, take care, guys.

So many so that when someone does ask about the money before anything starts it kind of throws me off and I unfairly think negative of them for bringing it up.
Hey guys, my first post here.
Will be visiting Vegas in 2 weeks for the WSOP.
Never been to Vegas before. I've met up with a girls in my local area when BP was still up. But I would still say I'm pretty new to all this.
Been reading like 50 pages in every post for the past 3 days LOL. I would like to go the CG or escort route I think. I seen a lot of casinos / hotels mentioned for potential CG's but I have a suite at The Palms and that's one I didn't see mentioned at all. Is that too upscale or something?
Anyways. I've been checking eccie and stuff. I'm not trying to drop $500+ for an hour. I would be willing to maybe do $400 but would like to keep it around $$. I think I got that right LOL. I know most of the acronyms and codes used around here but not all of them. So some of the ones I've seen on eccie for the 400 price. On their websites if you book they ask for references and / or usernames from p411 and stuff. I obviously don't have any of those, so can I just not book any of those girls?

Never had a bad experience with either one. 300 incall, 400 outcall. Do the incall, girls are more comfortable, relaxed, better service. Drop them an email or text a few days before you get into town. Trust me, they are your best chance at a good experience.

Stay away from complicated action, cg's and such, especially since it's your first time here. You will probably get in trouble. Go to lat houses or try Asian Palace. You will need a car, cab to get to either of them. You will have great many experiences for the same amount you would pay one cg. Read the lat thread and have fun while you're here. Bring that cash down here.
And no, Palms is not that upscale LOL! The reason you prob don't see it mentioned that much is because it's off strip. On the strip casinos are next to each other so if you were a cg you would stand a better chance to land a client on 5-7 casino floors vs just one.

I am friends with an independent escort, and she got nabbed at a casino. In hindsight, she said she knew something felt off, but she just wasn't paying as much attention as she should have.
