Mirage Mid April - dried up
Just got back from a long weekend @ Mirage, things have definitely dried up here in terms of quantity and quality.
Out for a boys beer trip with a brother in law (amongst others) which meant I certainly didn't want to get caught sniffing around, so maybe I wasn't looking as hard or as obvious as I normally would, but pretty sure the first 2 nights (weds+thurs) were empty.
Friday night I catch my first break. Playing some poker in the Mirage, 10/20 limit going nowhere fast when the table suddenly drops to 4 handed when a few players go to eat and others are absent. I talk the others into keeping the game going and they have no idea how to play when short, I rob them of $$$$$ before others come back. I then get word that a few of my friends are going on a uber-titty bar crawl, including the B-I-L! I play the "wife wouldn't approve" card and wave them off, having already decided that the $$$$$ I just won is going to be a free buy in (to use poker parlance) into hooker action, as I won it with little or no risk.
About 11pm Mirage sports bar (of course always used to be heaving with CGs at the bacarrat bar, is there another bar I should look for them here?) looks empty so I stroll over to Venetian. Get talking to one at the round bar, but for some reason she doesn't want to walk across the road with me, so I head up through Harrahs etc up to Ballys, all complete blanks. Even the Flamingo. Across to the Bellagio which is my usual hunting ground when attending conferences etc, now about 1 a.m. and starting to get into prime time for mongering, I am also starting to wonder how long the rest of the boys will be out drinking for. Spent about 30 minutes or so having 2 seperate conversations with possibles - one mid 20's blonde drinking Cosmo's who it eventually dawned on me would be a repeat visit from last year and was quite gobby in the room last time so I passed. Other girl was very thin and tall, emerald green backless top on, black hair. Hopeless remembering names. I was keen, but not that keen and we couldn't agree numbers so called it quits, several drinks later.
Walked back to Mirage contemplating catching up with the boys wherever they had got to. As I walked in through the white tiger entrance, 2 girls sped up to walk in step with me. Both young, one black one white, the black girl makes all the conversation and gets to the point in a matter of steps. The conversation went something like:"Where you off to" "To my room" "Can we come up and tuck you in?" Well, all I was really worried about was walking past the sports bar and seeing some of the guys back early there, so I told them to walk with me and if the coast was clear they could come up.
It was, and as I had good results last time (previous post) with negotiations 2 on 1, I tried the same line. This time not with the same results, but ended up getting a body to body massage and CBJ for $$. It didn't feel like a bad deal, but it didn't feel like I did as well as I usually do negotiating, perhaps because I was loathed to let them go - perhaps next time I will go back to negotiating downstairs again.
The body to body massage I only asked for as I wasn't getting any movement on the $$ so wanted an extra something. The white girl didn't even know what that was, the black girl just said "rub your tits all over him and I will call you in a bit!" Must have been new or not too smart, but she certainly knew what to do with her twin airbags and got me bubbling away. The finale was surprisingly well executed, a very enthusistic effort, a real ball drainer and a complimentary clean up afterwards made me finally feel at ease with the fact that I had just parted with $$ for a BJ. Very very quiet girl though, to the point I wasn't even sure what country she was from.
Phone rang just as I was letting her leave and the boys told me to get in a cab and get to SR's on the double. Well, I still felt pretty laced from the drinking at the various VP bars earlier and decided that with an empty sack I could turn up and behave myself, having shown enough refusal earlier to satisfy the average B-I-L that I was behaving with his sister! In short, the remainder of the $$$$$ poker win vanished in seconds inside SR's - obviously I walked straight into a full round of drinks when I walked through the door and did the remaining $$$ in cabs, door fees, drinks and one very average mileage lap dance that I let the others 'force' me into having. Further anecdotal evidence that the $$ was better spent earlier on.
