Ok, first timer (at least to Vegas) here....
I'm not a noob to the hobby, just a noob to the hobby in the Mecca that is Vegas. You can check my posting history if you want. I'm a regular in my small neck of the woods (that's like saying i'm a veteran player in Single A baseball compared to Vegas).
I did a quick check, and didn't find one, but is there a general faq on Vegas on here somewhere?
I've never been to Vegas, but was wondering about some general tips about where/how to find those amenable to the mongering hobby. I will going for my first time, and staying at NYNY next month.
Where is the best place to find CG's, or sw's, what's the general quality of each, prices, etc.? Any other info you might think is helpful? If you are ever in my neck of the woods, I can surely reciprocate (though, I have no idea why you'd ever want to come to my neck of the woods).
Thanks,
Almighty

[/QUOTE]No formal FAQ that I'm aware of but your best bet might be to go back to the 2000-2004 Archived LV General Report section and look for postings by Wastrel. I remember he did a few extensive reports early in his LV mongering correspondent career where he pretty much laid out the street situation especially, throwing in some entertaining history, sociology, and local politics for good measure. He's periodically pointed out a few newly discovered strolls. You might also check out this post where he actually provides maps of some of the more prominent spots.

I'm a very frequent LV visitor and thought I knew the street scene well but he's clued me in to several new shopping areas. My own take on the LV SW market (SWs being my main focus) is that LV is disappointing for a place known as Sin City. There are quite a few strolls scattered over a wide area, but the pickings are often slim (quantity and quality) and for the most part have gotten slimmer over the years. I've wasted a shitlload of gas this year cruising around town, mostly just observing a bunch of Metro street crime busts.
Things do go in cycles however, and for about 2 glorious months in late spring, early summer this year LV got the sort of SW stroll it deserves when Tropicana Ave just west of the Strip blossomed with large numbers of some of the hottest SWs you'll ever see. Alas that stroll was soon crushed by LE, so we're pretty much back to the same old same old.
The CG scene is completely different however with gorgeous, pricey options galore. $300 is kind of a standard opening bid for instance, but up to $1,000 is not unheard of. $150-$200 (and occasionally even a little lower) can sometimes be negotiated. There are a number of posters like Speck and others who frequently comment on the CG scene, prices, etc. If you go back through a few months of General Reports postings you should get a good picture.
