Wastrel,
Heading up there next month. Been a while since i've picked up a SW. Nice to know a different place to check out. Usually stuck with the usual places the last time I was there, mainly Fremont and all the way down Boulder Hwy. Got lucky with one from Arkansas last August, which was the last time I was able to pick up a SW. Got to check out the Sierra Vista block as I got lucky about two years ago there.
Thanks for all the info, keep it coming.

An area (up by Nellis/Opera House) that's rich with tradition and history. I wish they would just clean the cracks up a bit and leave the driving to us.
Well my friend Wastrel,
You have let the cat out of the bag. This has been my secret trolling area for some time now. I tried to tip off the guys on this board to this area a few months back. I have found this to be one of the last gems for decent bargain hunting. I usually visit only during daytime hours (as my office is close by). The girls in the area seem to be A LOT different than the typical Freemont HO. They are just trying to pay the rent and require much less maintenance. Lets try to be a little more low key. Maybe this secret spot may just survive.

Wastrel did not let any cats out of the bag. I have known about this area, just that I live near the 215 and Durango makes it very inconvenient. I have a friend in the Air Force who told me about one of the low ranking officers getting dishonorable discharge for solicitation in that area. The fact that it was in the paper lets the cat out of the bag more than anything.
On another note, I wish I had some better news regarding Sierra Vista. I cruised down that street the last three days and saw nothing twice and a disgusting fat bsw on Thursday. Next month I'm off to TJ.

Don't sweat it Whitey, like bozo said, the RJ article could/might have a lot more impact than a few mongers cruising around. Saturday's tour included sightings on Trop/Industrial, Industrial and Stardust, LVB and 10th or so, and of course Fremont. Weather's warming up, and the outfits are getting skimpier. Gotta love it!
[QUOTE=L V Whitey]...this secret spot...[/QUOTE]I sympathize, as I did sort of get the feeling that the handy color coded SW map and guide leading page B1 above the fold of the R-J would draw more public attention than any of us might wish, but you never know, maybe everyone in Metro just reads the Sun and the Racing Form these days. It appears that they've been patrolling it pretty hard for quite a while, in any case, and I would definitely want to use all the most discrete SW cruising precuations up there, as well as be very wary of some of the not so neighborly hoods hanging around a few of those housing projects and watering holes in the wall.
[QUOTE=localbozo]...wish I had some better news regarding Sierra Vista.[/QUOTE]The last time I was successful in that neighborhood was about three or four weeks ago when a BSW walking on Sierra Vista toward Swenson flagged me down ONLY becuase she knows me and recognized me. I asked her about things in the 'hood and she confirmed my impression that Metro has actually been somewhat successful in suppressing a lot of the gang activity there. I find this amazing, since it is very hard to uproot that crap once it gets started.
On the other hand, she said she hardly goes out at all these days becuase she is afraid for her safety from unafiliated young street thugs committing stupid violent acts for dope money after she was robbed at gunpoint while getting into a taxi at the 7-11 a few weeks before. This is a very streetwise black woman in her 30s who is afraid to go out of her apartment, but I think she was feeling pretty traumatized about having a gun suddenly stuck in her mouth a few blocks from her home. For whatever it's worth, that's what a local resident had to say.
What I wonder a little bit about the streetwalker buisness is the obvious no-meaning of the world wide web. I mean I can understand that many of them are poor and stuff, but I think everybody of us looks first for the clean college/student girl coming to Vegas to make some money etc. So why - at least some - streetwalkers don't have email-addresses where u can make contact?
[QUOTE=Desert Dude]Walking the Strip can sometimes be fruitful, particularly the pedestrian bridges on the South end. And, if you feel like a greenhorn and think there's lots of danger around lower income areas, then no, don't go there. Some folks in these areas can smell a scared rookie a mile off...[/QUOTE]This couldn't be more true, and it is not restricted to the bridges. You can have good luck at many of the casino bars and on the strip.
I have tried to stay away from the other areas just because of the amount of LE presence lately. If you don't mind walking between the MGM and Bally's can really pay off too. Stay away from the Barbary coast though. For some reason they don't seem to care about the pimps that congregrate in front of their hotel, and so there seems to be a lot of them there.
The other plus to hanging out on the strip is the occasional chance that you may hook up with a regular girl who was looking to get lucky in the club and didn't. A few weeks back I was able to hook up with a girl that had a major fight with her boyfriend and wanted payback. Maybe a little risky in hindsight, but I am a big enough guy and she was hot enough to risk it.
I have had the best luck hooking up between 3am and 7am, and the better odds are always on the weekends between Fri. and Mon. morning. Just don't go spending more than $1.5 or you will ruin it for us locals. Don't be afraid to negotiate, especially as it gets later and there are more girls walking around.

That sure would be nice, but I agree, have never seen it. Bottom line, most of the SW's, at least that I've been around are typically crack ho's. Even those with phones only have minutes on them half of the time or so.
Now, if you bump up to the 100-200 range, there's gals with both phones and sometimes email.
Just my observations...
Haven't been to town for awhile. Coming back soon. Is the Atomic open?
My understanding is the Atomic is open but not into the wee hours of the morning. I think they close at 10pm nowadays.

Might be 11 or 12 on Friday and Sat nite. Not at all like the old days, I'm told. I've lately been having a lot more luck in the Western, Fremont St, or Ogden. Gold Spike is trying to clean up, but it still has some action, if you can get past the initial 'hello' stage...
There was a great post in the forum from last year I believe, that pretty much detailed the how's & why's of the change in the Atomic.
Man - that used to be a great monger spot back in the day!

I just got back from the strip, paid a bsw $40 for a HJ, that's all I wanted. She was okay but I think I will upgrade now. I met her just north of the Strat. but when I was going home south on the strip, I saw some quality but wondered if they would get in my car like the northern girls do.
I am willing to pay 1.0 to 1.5 for a beauty but where do we do the dirty deed? They are looking for hotel room work.
