Nah, it'll probably just be another stupid cattle call of working girls for a pointless head count, so nevermind.That'd be the 29th, so I gather you're taking the over. Is NP2112 leaning toward the under?

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.

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.

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.

[Wastrel]

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Damn straight VB jist like you sed, whin "them goofballs hit Freemont", you mensa members better high tail it outta Dodge...

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.

[np2112]

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...

HA HA. That's part of what makes your posts so priceless. That dry sense of humor. Yeah, I imagine those see-through windows are quite an aid to the cops.
"What do you think I'm funny?"...

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 !

[Wastrel]

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...

Don't take my word for it on that; I don't. Believe what you see and remember. 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.

...but the cops already know about it, trust me...

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.

...The stupid will be weeded out, and this CANNOT last.

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.

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.

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

Every single one is pimped. All of them work Harrahs to BC at least some of the time. But most are under 21...many are under 18, so they wear out their welcome with Metro and Harrahs security really quick.

I enjoy your LV and LA posts. And while I get to LV often, certainly not as much as you from your West Coast base. That said, let's not jump to overstatements that potentially draw even more LE attention to Tropicana than it's already getting and ultimately ruin a good thing. I'll be back shortly and will certainly check out the scene again (if its still there), but based on what I saw a week ago there's NO way that "many" are under 18. Young yes, as in 18-24, but c'mon. Mongers dumb enough to chance things with anyone who may be younger deserve the consequences.

PM me if you've actually got evidence to support your sweeping generalizations ("Every single one", "All of them," "most are", "many are"). What are you checking IDs and doing interrogations? I'm sure our LEO friends monitoring the board appreciate the heads up.

I agree Speck. I got a good look at a couple late last night by the Chevron near the Orleans. Those girls weren't a day over 16-17. One was so young, she didn't have the walk right.
