I just moved to LV from New Orleans, and wanted to thank y'all for all the good info, I checked out Trop today, met Misty, 19 yo blonde, and had a good time, CBJ and FS for just under a Benji Frank. I would appreciate any insight a local may offer as I am a new permanent resident
Happy Hunting
Here we go with another report. Wow, two in the space of a month. I might get carpal tunnel.
I went with one of the younger looking ones last night. But damn are there a lot of choices. Some even walking in twos and threes. Wastrel had mentioned that every year this seems to happen and then goes away. Correct me if I'm wrong, but THIS level of activity is something I haven't seen in the ten or so years I've discovered this hobby in this town. I mean one could plop themselves anywhere from Arville to DM, and see at least two within eyesight, and at times I've seen up to seven at one time.
Anyway, back to the lady I was with. A BSW that called herself Ci Ci (OR C.C.) and I partook whilst waiting for ANOTHER girl that called herself Nature. I found her and negotiated, but she had a prior appointment she had to fulfill and said she'd be out afterwards. She was a fine looking thing, and clearly over 18. I waited for a good 20 minutes and had noticed C.C. before, but didn't talk because she looked to be high school age. I finally sidled over and made some small talk while we checked each other out. Her I.D. looked real enough, so instead of waiting around for a girl who had just peformed, I figured to go with this very petite cute young thing. Very nice time, and I learned that casino security is apparently cracking down HARD, and that is what is driving the activity on Trop. Don't know how reliable info. is from one young girl or if her experience is representative of most/all, but it seems to make sense given the quality that Wastrel mentioned earlier. Cost me 60 clamaroos, and she was easily an 8 or higher. She could probably easily get five times that at the casinos.
More ammo for the cops? I appreciate that, but the cops already know about it, trust me. I saw a bust go down right in the Terrible Herbst parking lot. The stupid will be weeded out, and this CANNOT last.

Much of my information on W Trop comes from what I've heard from others. I've never been a frequent flyer on the westside of town, so your recollection is likely to be more accurate than mine.[QUOTE=np2112]...but the cops already know about it, trust me...[/QUOTE]They sure do. They have actual see-through windows in their cars and the County even buys gas for them to drive around and look at things and stuff. And in case they forget to look out the window, at least a third of the heavy movers and shakers with serious money and political juice in Nevada drive right up Trop every day, from their offices in and around the resort corridor to their estates up the hill a ways. Really, even if it's not good for much of anything else, as a chokepoint for east-west traffic it's got to be just about the most visible piece of curb in the state, more so than doing it in front of the Bellagio fountain where you could get lost in the crowd of tourists, and it would be relatively more discrete to turn tricks under the Mayor's conference room window.[QUOTE=np2112]...The stupid will be weeded out, and this CANNOT last.[/QUOTE]I'll hang a line on that proposition right now. I make the over and under at about three weeks from now (a little before the town fills up for the July 4th holiday) so it's now officially -110 to win 100 on whether Metro has completed their inevitable Tropicana streetsweeping operation before or after June 26th, with or without some doors battered down over at the Budget Suites and a few California registered Cadillacs impounded from there.

It's become a ritual streetsweeping operation every Thursday and Friday on Fremont Street to have things cleaned up for the tourist's arrival Friday afternoon.
It starts about 4 pm Thursday with a parade of two black and white squads (10 cars) accompanied by two paddy wagons from the downtown area command down LV Blvd to Fremont. The first paddy wagon parks on this corner while the first squad screens left and right over to Ogden and Bridger in a Southeasterly direction. The second squad heads down Fremont to Bruce where the paddy wagon parks and the black and whites start their screening Northwesterly between Ogden and Bridger.
In the meantime, one squad each of horse mounts, motorized off road bike mounts, and bicycle mounts show up. On a few occasions, they have even dispatched a squad on foot. I truely believe they dedicate half of the downtown manpower to this 24 hour weekly saturation busting operation. If you are walking in the area, and don't fit the profile of a tourist, you're going to be handcuffed and run. Then from 4 pm Friday until 4 am Monday, it's difficult to find a cop in the area, let alone a provider!
My bet is the sweep will eminate from the Southwest Area Command at 4pm on the Thursday preceeding the 4th of July weekend. Get 'em while they last !
I doubt they will clean things up for the 4th of July that much.
Sometimes it seems they let the Mormon Missionarys come out and make a Sweep. When them goofballs hit Fremont, it becomes a ghosttown. It wont be long before the Mormons find out about Tropicana.
LOL!
Be safe out there.

Well decided to see what all the fuss was about and yep, there was enough to go around for all although I did not partake. Waaaaaayyyy to much heat and attention. There were plenty of brave souls on trop and I did watch from the FatBurger, then from Wild West, then from the bus stop and a casual stroll to Arville and back. All told, about 2½ hours. Saw everything form outright gorgeous black, white, tall, short, blonde..... you get the picture. Saw some amazing stuff, and some I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. MOST, IMHO, are over 18, but I would really question if 2 or 3 that I saw are. Way too risky, and I was on a fact finder, not on a hunt. I saw so many cars with dark tinted windows make 3, 4, and 5 passes that there was no way to tell the players from the playees. But I did enjoy the sights. From experience, I would say MOST are pimped out, and it is WAY to public on that stretch to make a play (regardless of whatever bag of tricks I may or may not have), at least for me (and at my age, I ain't in no rush, the end will get here soon enough, hahaha). Anyway, back to the old haunts near Paradise, Boulder, and Fremont. Some real skags out most nights and not too much new stuff although I did see a cute, white (5'6" and built fairly well and didn't look strung out) SW on Boulder and was gone before I could make the ueee and check it out. Need to get to some of the downtown bars again and check out the latest. Stay safe and be smart.

I wonder if they're letting it all escalate to a point prior to the sweep just to raise the head count a bit.
The ole sugar on the ant hill routine.
[QUOTE=Cienega32]I wonder if they're letting it all escalate to a point prior to the sweep just to raise the head count a bit.
The ole sugar on the ant hill routine.[/QUOTE]I've wondered if they might not have an interest in doing something more worthwhile, but also more time consuming, than clogging up the system with some pissant but still expensive misdemeanor busts of working girls (who'll just have to do some extra work after bailing out) by developing a case on a few overfed curbside "business agents" and their informal commercial enterprises instead. That is, of course, where the money goes, after all. If so, I'd personally wish them the best of luck with that approach to setting priorities on the street.
Nah, it'll probably just be another stupid cattle call of working girls for a pointless head count, so nevermind.[QUOTE=Norman Stormin]My bet is the sweep will eminate from the Southwest Area Command at 4pm on the Thursday preceeding the 4th of July weekend.

They might be cracking down if the girls are clearly young looking and the pimps are making a mess, but really the casinos could care less that there are prostitutes around. I've been to Vegas every month so far this year and this information really conflicts with what I have seen. I went Memorial Day weekend and got hit on by at least 10 hookers walking from Mirage to Barbary Coast at 1am or so....so no way the casinos are cracking down that hard.
Besides with Harrahs and MGM owning half the strip each, if one decided to get rid of cg's, the other would surely welcome them with open arms along with the accompanying traffic they would bring.

My guess is it'll take more than just one big ole sweep to clear them all out. But for the initial big round-up I'll take the under. It is summer, after all, and it's just too damn obvious. It just takes one little ole sanctimonious wifey of some bigwig in town to make a stew of shit outta this. I wouldn't even be surprised to see some news coverage of it. Nothing like a little sex to spice up the news, as has been demonstrated over and over in this town.

Who knows. It's true what ya say. If I'd always trusted the word of any of these pay-for-play types, my plastic would be taken away and I'd be living out of some concrete pipe. She did look young to me, and although the ID looked legit, with the attendant photo and state (Cali, of course), it ain't that hard to fake 'em. Casinos would not take the same chances I did. Hell, I probably shouldn't take the same chances. But most of the girls could pass for 21, much less 18, that I've seen.
Right on Speck.... Usually if the girls are cool about it with a tip to the bartender, not much is said. I lived in Reno for 22 years and have lived here for 8, and unless the Bible crowd is up in arms, its cleanup time before elections, or businesses are really complaining loudly, its business as usual. Used to be that in the earlier days (as in 15-20 yrs ago) you could get propositioned on the street even if you had a lady with you, hell, once many years ago the lady I was with and I both got hit on.
The only thing most of the casinos really don't want is when they take somebody out of the casino instead of go upstairs to the room. The casinos see the dollars possibly leaving and not returning for a few hours or even for a night. It's competition for the almighty dollar at its finest. They might also say something if a CG hits on a high roller and tries to get him to leave. THAT might really piss em off, even frown on, but a jump in the hay in one of their own suites usually doen't bother em in the least, in fact, I'm sure they expect it. Paranoid they may be, stupid they absolutely ain't. Not only what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but casinos want customers to stay and play in THEIR hotel.
Sometimes, the good old days were definitely better in some respects. Stay safe.

To add onto this thread.
YEA BUT...
I was playing at Harrah's and around 1:30-2:15am all the skanky looking ones were rolling in looking for Mr. Franklin. If I was the casino I would keep the ugly looking ones out. Mostly what I saw walking into Harrah's was 2-3.5ish. (cheapening the casino more than gamblers, like myself, would like to see)
If they are nice looking and dressed cleanly then I would suspect the casino would like them in their hotel/casino to attact men/gamblers. IMO they both need each other.
My 2 cents
I'm a Downtown, Fleamont, and Boulder kinda guy who refuses to get near the strip except an occasional Sunday drinking sojourn to the West side of town. Even then I bypass the strip by taking the DI arterial. I really prefer downtown because you can park and walk.
There's such ado about Trop I decided to break my own rules and see for myself. I waited untill 7 pm thinking I would miss the rush hour traffic. That was a correct call until I got over the I 15 bridge, then total gridlock. I ended up pulling into the Wild West parking lot and walked West to Arville. A bus had just stopped at the corner of Industrial. That same bus finally passed me on foot at the corner of Valley View. That's how fucked up the traffic was at 7:30pm and that's exactly why I never get near the strip. As I got to the underpass, I saw the problem: they're working on the sewer line.
I was glad the traffic conditions dictated I do a reconnaisance on foot. It would be foolheardy to attempt one mounted unless you have a driver. You get a better feel for the lay of the land and a great opportunity for observation of the activity. And there was indeed, plenty of activity, eight targets on my first sortie. None of them as young and ravashing as some would have you believe. But certainly younger and better looking than the Fleamont Street crack hoes I'm accoustomed to. I'd guess all of them in their twenties.
My first stop on the return was Ocean's 11 bar. I thought this might be a convenient "can I use dah baffroom?" or "gimme a glass a waddah" kinda place. No such luck. Just three limo drivers having an after work toddie or, more likely, an on their way to work pick me up.
Next stop the "Stop and Rob". Saw a couple of pimps playing the slots. One of their charges made a pit stop to drop off her tribute. She wanted to stay and play for a while but big daddy would have none of this. He's was gentille enough to give her five for a soda and sent her back to work.
Burger King is next. This is a great observation post. Unobstructed fields of fire from the I 15 overpass to the railroad underpass. And I'm not the only one who's concluded this. Another pimp is here supervising his charge(s) from afar, complete with the latest radio/telecommunications equipment. I get a coke (Coca-Cola) and sit ringside. What a show! Four girls working nearby, two on each side of the street. Pimps hanging from the balconies of the Budget Suites (just like they do from the Sunflower at 15th and Fremont).
A pickup pulls into the Burger King lot and parks right in front facing Trop. A six month pregnant, either mulado or mexican, hops in. Ten minutes later she hops out and heads for the Stop and Rob. A cute black one is at the bus stop across the street in front of the Mexican drive by. Some black dude engages her in conversation. After a few minutes, Big Daddy Pimp gets on his star wars talking device and very loudly asks her "wach ya doin ragging wit dat ....... get yo black ass back to work". With that, I continued my patrol East.
Wild West: Two with pimps at the bar. One knockout Crazy Horse quality girl with an older gentleman in the lounge area. Both of them totally out of place in this joint. It's now close to 9pm and I decide to remount. Traffic is still bad and I discover you can use the parking lots all the way from Industrial to Valley View without getting on Trop. A good E & E route. I circled the zone a few times and by now all the activity was gone. I'll return for a 4 AM patrol.
Conclusions: A target rich enviornment and as Wastrel speculates, well supervised with Kalifornian licensed Cadillacs. I, like 10safeOsory, was on a clandestine surveillance mission and did not talk with any of them. I'll save that for my next patrol. As far as a sweep is concerned, I'm changing my speculation about Metro's methodology. The terrain is not conducive to a Fremont Street style assault. Traffic is already way too fucked up. That would really get the wrath of casino mogul's wives. This calls for a massive bike patrol roundup backed up with several CCDC busses to transport them back to the Kalifornia border (no strain on the local system). Or better yet, have those vice detectives earn their keep for a change and quietly bust all those pimps on some loitering charges. Then again, that's too easy and may violate someone's civil rights?

Heh...Harrahs is a cheap casino. Despite their willingness to charge $200-300 a night, club members often get rooms for under $100. And if Harrahs doesn't fill for the weekend, there are usually discount rooms via expedia for a day or two maybe a week ahead. The bridges by NYNY & MGM and the stroll from Harrahs to BC is the discount hos. Those are the ones you will get for $200 late at night. Some are really good looking anyway, if pretty skanky.
If you want the super nice looking ones, and have $600 to drop, then hit up Ceasars, Bellagio, and the like.
Was on Trop at around 3 this afternoon. A rather hot brunette WSW was being cuffed by, get this, 5 cop cars at the bus stop in front of the Suites (directly across the street from Burger King). Something didn’t look right, so as bad as the traffic was I managed to pull into the Terrible’s parking lot to observe what was happening. Unfortunately, I only got the tail end of it, but two of the cop cars were spinning around the parking lot at the Suites looking for someone as the other three were questioning the poor girl in tears. They shoved the girl in the car and drove away. Needless to say Trop was rather dead (SW activity) on this pass. I’ve seen a lot of busts on Trop over the years, but 5 cop cars to detain 1 SW? That’s a new one. Did anybody else see this? There were at least a hundred cars passing by at any given time, I’m sure somebody can report on what was happening.
It seems that a good thing is abruptly coming to an end.
Yep, saw the same thing, and as a matter of fact saw it Monday as well about 3pm (I got off work a little early) but there were three cars and one wagon.
Saw all the recent posts about how hot Trop was, and decided to go on a recon mission of my own.
Wow. I have been cruising Vegas for 5 years and have never seen that kind of action. I sat in the Burger King parking lot for one hour (10pm to 11pm) and saw at least 12 different girls. Not one was over 25, and most were 20 or younger. Lot's of light skinned BSWs, two HSW, and two WSW. All had great bodies and looked clean and sober. And, some of the hottest ones were not picked up at all during the whole hour! You would never see that in downtown area. A reasonable looking girl is snatched in 15 seconds flat.
I finally flagged down a HSW that had seen me park at BK about an hour earlier, and had made eye contact with me on several passes down the street. I said, "not much luck tonight, eh." She said, no, really slow -- it sucks. I told her I was not up for any action, but told her I thought she was very pretty and couldn't believe she hadn't been snatched up. She laughed and gave me a kiss on the cheek, and told me to come back when I was in the mood for more.
LE: There was one marked car and one unmarked car making the circuit from the 15 up to Airville and back. But, if you're careful and get into a parking lot or side street, I think you'd be OK.
So, that's my report from the field, gentlemen. Those were some quality ladies down there. Be safe and treat the girls nice and hopefully this lasts a while. I have grown real tired of how shitty the old strolls are.
One question in parting -- Is there an hourly motel anywhere near that Trop/Airville area? I have a good spot downtown, but one of the reasons I didn't make a move tonight was becuase I didn't know where I would go. I've never played in the strip area.

SW safety might be an issue and I'm sure monger demographics are better on Trop. Also LE probably would not tolerate it for long, but any one of the hotter Trop girls could make a lot of quick money walking a street like Ogden or any of the side streets in that vicinity. Much easier, safer access for mongers there than along most parts of the congested Trop.
I'm typically in Vegas between Thursdays and Mondays, so maybe I'm missing some higher quality downtown girls who are caught up in sweeps (as one poster recently mentioned) but I sure haven't seen anything as hot downtown as I saw on Trop on my last visit. I'll be back again this weekend and am happy to hear the action on Trop is still going strong - even though there are signs of an imminent crackdown.
I really can't figure out the business plan of this new batch of W Tropicana entrepreneurs. It's not at all clear to me how some of them are expecting to get picked up, and when I'm not too sure what a horse is gonna do, I'm usually not in a big hurry to go to the window to bet him.
This article in the June 8th issue of Las Vegas Weekly made a few passing references to Trop. Much of it left me scratching my head wondering what in the fork this guy is talking about or how badly he must have misunderstood and mangled what information he may have had, so I really don't want to vouch for the overall accuracy of this piece, but some of it is on point, so here it is, free of charge, but still up to you to decide what parts might be worth what you paid for it:
[Size=4][B][I]Cops expect to make 5,000 prostitution-related arrests this year.
Do we need a special court to handle them?[/Size][/B]
"Wanna date?"
What this zombie of a woman, with her tattered clothes, stringy frame, ghost-white skin and bedraggled face, really wants to know is...
<SNIP>
It's at the motel-heavy Tropicana and Valley View zone that Shannon is noticing a different type of prostitute. Some pimps are having their prettiest girls work the streets and encouraging them to seek out customers and not wait to be chosen. They're called Hollywoods, he says, because they wear miniskirts exposing their butts and want to be seen. Definitely a tougher breed of prostitute, one unafraid of jail time and entrenched in the lifestyle...[/I]

BTW, I think it's amusing that the author of the article has apparently managed to remain blissfully unaware that his job and his employer's existence is dependent on the marketing of commercial sex services. The free weekly rags exist as a vehicle for collecting ad revenue from "hot young nymphos waiting to come to you now just dial 1-900-BABE" and such like. The editorial content is generally a trivial afterthought to both the publisher and most "readers" alike.
Vice out on Trop on horses tonight , and a dozen bikes down around the Orleans , one parked at the 7-11 at Decatur.
It may be over now.

I highley doubt they would go downtown, but the one girl I met on Trop said she would go to Orleans no problem(probably $40-70 weekday), Palace Station and Gold Coast probably much cheaper. You can checkout from your room if you use cc. She was also willing to go back to my room at Ballys.
I also met a cg in Harrahs one night that was willing to go back to my room at Orleans. I'm not used to the ho's being so willing to go so far.

But as word gets out that there is that kind of quality available downtown, mongers should begin flocking the area even more than they already do when the selection is typically so bad.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, maybe that's the silver bullet tourist lure that downtown merchants have been searching for. :-)
[QUOTE=Wastrel]I really can't figure out the business plan of this new batch of W Tropicana entrepreneurs. It's not at all clear to me how some of them are expecting to get picked up,[/QUOTE]For the general public - and based on reports here - even for most mongers the scene on Trop right now is more just of visual interest. Kind of a "Hot Hos on Parade." Actually hooking up is more problematic. Yes, it seems these entrepeneurs would have benefited from thinking through a little more the logistics and traffic patterns of their new base location.
[QUOTE=Wastrel]This article in the June 8th issue of Las Vegas Weekly made a few passing references to Trop. Much of it left me scratching my head wondering what in the fork this guy is talking about or how badly he must have misunderstood and mangled what information he may have had, [/QUOTE]Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on related news, but as you suggest, what a moronic, pointless non-article! Does anyone believe this author cares a f--k about this separate court proposal? What a crock. The piece strikes me as a obvious effort to spice up the rag with sex and sin references. As you point out, the do-goody tone is jaw-droppingly hypocritical for a publication that might as well be sponsoring some of the Trop tarts.
I cruised Trop last night, and Metro was out in full force.
They had about 4 Black/Whites, Motorcycle cops, Bike Cops, and they even had Cops on Horses!
Not a SW in sight.
Be safe.
Seems like LE is starting to crack down on the Trop area. I had an appointment with a girl at the Budget Inn by the Orleans and had to call her and cancel because there were cops all over the property.
She was understanding and she said she was busted last week on trop and her and her friends had all seen alot more busts in the last few days.
The girls are still out there but there aren't quite as many as I have seen in the past few weeks. A contributing factor may also be the crappy traffic since the city has been working on the sewer lines.

Maybe the guy was spotted looking for a lunch-time BJ and excused it as 'research'. With the bullshit river flowing thru his boss' backyard, he had to produce! ;) ;) ;)

Based on what I have seen this week, I think Trop is dead for a while.

Gen. Stormin gets double bonus points on his player's card (but doesn't cash) for correctly calling the method of the non-mechanized special forces ground assault operation, and that it would commence on a Thursday.

Hey guys, sorry about the multiple posts. Didn't know the forum was moderated, so I thought my posts weren't submitting.
Yesterday I drove down Trop twice. Once at 5:30pm and once at 10:30pm. At 5:30pm there was the absolute hottest WSW I have ever seen (18 yo, C-cup, 5'5, 105 lbs) -- Easily a 10+. She crossed the street right in front of me as I sat at a stoplight, and I got a good long look. I thought she must have just been a lost tourist, but alas, she loitered for a moment longer and a pickup truck flipped a quick-U and she hopped in. Damn. I shoulda pulled my head outta my ass and gone for it.
At 10:30, all the cops were out. In fact, a copper had rear-ended a white pickup right in front of Ocean's 11, so there were 2 bike cops and 5 or 6 cars there. I think he musta been staring at a hot SWs ass and not watching where he was going :)
At any rate, the horse cops and flashing lights everywhere kept all the eye candy away.
Were they really going for $100 there along Trop? I thought they'd be holding out for more like $$.
Beers,
Ken
As everybody is commenting, yes LE was out in force on Trop all weekend. Kind of ridiculous. If you were a young woman unfortunate to be walking anywhere from Industrial up past the Orleans, you simply were going to get stopped. No question about it. An enterprising young woman with or without the help of a sponsoring lawyer using hidden audio and video could probably make a pretty nice case against the city for false arrest. There is no way that ALL of the women being stopped day and night are even slightly guilty of "loitering" at least according to this common definition.
"to linger or hang around in a public place or business where one has no particular or legal purpose. In many states, cities and towns there are statutes or ordinances against loitering by which the police can arrest someone who refuses to "move along." There is a question as to whether such laws are constitutional. However, there is often another criminal statute or ordinance which can be applied specifically to control aggressive begging, soliciting prostitution, drug dealing, blocking entries to stores, public drunkenness or being a public nuisance."
I did the circuit probably 6-8 times. Although there were always busts going on and cop cars seemingly at every intersection, there were still girls out every time I passed by. Would be nice if LE gave the same kind of attention to actual violent crime situations.
With Trop not the best option this weekend, I looked around the other usual spots with good success. Saturday afternoon I found Lisa, a dark-skinned BSW, walking down past Fremont and Bruce. She is the hottest looking SW I've picked up downtown in at least a couple years. Was dressed in short shorts and low cut top. Her body was hot enough to be in the upper third of Trop BSWs. For a leg man like me, those gorgeous legs were the main attraction but face wasn't too bad either. Paid 25 for BBBJ. Pretty good technique but I wasn't cumming so I told her to take a break and show me her body. Pulled her top up and took off her shorts. Turned toward me and spread her legs showing a pretty bushy pussy. I jacked off a bit at that and then she laid back and pulled her legs up and put her feet behind her head. That little demonstration of flexibility got me more interested and I doubled my donation for FS. Covered up, mounted her and fucked till I busted my nut deep in that pussy. Dressed quickly and headed back to Fremont while she told me her typical sad story. I'll post about an even more memorable pickup later.
