A VERY WELL PUT NAME: "THE CITY OF SIN"

The United States is a country of high contrasts. It is common to find societies of total permissiveness in sexual matters, and others of a very puritanical and repressive nature with regard to carnal matters. In the first of these extremes we naturally place the famous "Mecca of gambling"... and of sex. And by the way, sex work in Las Vegas has many peculiarities.

variety and quantity

That city where "everything that happens in it stays", according to the popular saying, presents a sexual offer as varied as that of the game: practically infinite.

The specialized site https://www.wikisexguide.com indicates that sex work in Las Vegas is illegal. But it is so tolerated that if it were legal, the difference would not be noticeable. He lists so many sex benefits that they cause vertigo. Prostitution, female and male escorts and escorts, sex webcams, legal brothels, red zones, sex shops, cabarets and erotic clubs. All.

On paper, sex work in Las Vegas is illegal unless it takes place in licensed brothels. That happens in 10 of the 16 counties of the State. But in everyday reality, the picture is very different.

A striking fact is the large number of legal brothels that are located in smaller counties around the city. There are more than 30, some huge and quite famous, in towns like Reno, Carson City and Nye County.

Thus, a circuit of brothels is formed that surrounds the great capital. Almost as many visitors circulate through it as among the gigantic casino-hotels that have given it world fame.

From the room to the club, in Limousine

There are many companies that we could call “thematic receptive tourism”, and that offer “combos” with services such as:

• Bachelor party packages
• Packages for a "singles night" (obviously dedicated to married men)
• birthday party packages
• “Bottle” service (VIP entrance to discos and clubs for adults, without queuing. With reserved table or booth and a bottle of top-brand champagne, plus unlimited beer for two hours. There is also access to “pool parties” often organized by these clubs)
• There are packages for women, especially on the occasion of bachelorette parties, with male stripper shows, obviously.

Always, or almost, limousine transfers, a “VIP” host, and à la carte dinners are included, depending on the place chosen. All in about eight hours of service, on average.

Sex Not Included

None of this includes escort benefits. But each visitor can agree with those who perform sex work in Las Vegas, be they female escorts or independent masculine, “outside” the packs. The multiple attractions of this "entertainment capital of the world" attract both sex workers and those who demand their services.

That is why it is an important destination for bachelor parties, and it is common to hire dancers, strippers and other artists for private parties in hotel suites. Each escort sets their own price, and there is usually a fee to pay up front for them to go to hotel rooms. The rest of the services are agreed there.

A scandal, two books, several truths

In 2012, the atmosphere of high-competition sports in the United States was shaken by a scandal of great proportions. It was for a prestigious athlete who had represented the country in three Olympics and with seven medals in athletics. She confessed to having worked in a luxury escort agency in Las Vegas. She was among the escorts living those stories about Nevada and the famous parties in Las Vegas.

Suzy Favor-Hamilton She recognized her problems of addiction, bipolarity and mania that made her both hyper-competitive and hyper-sexualized. And she told it in her bestselling book "Fast Girl: A life spent running from madness." She worked at the luxury escort agency “Haley Heston Primate Collection” under the pseudonym of Kelly Lundy.

Shortly after, another book shed more light on these matters. It was the one who ran the escort agency where the athlete was employed, Jamie Rodson. She published "The Las Vegas Madam: the Escorts, the Clients, the Truth" ("The Las Vegas Madam: the escorts, the clients and the truth")

That book recounts her experiences and opinions as one of the most important "madams" in the world of sex work in Las Vegas. And it adds a sociological point of view with data that lifts the veil on these very particular places and professions, in a special city.

Without giving names, he says that to find out who his clients were, all you have to do is look at a “Fortune 500” or “Forbes” magazine, which will appear there. Thus he said that they were all rich and powerful.

Raised in a very conservative Oregon family, she studied anthropology and sociology, and went to "Sin City" on vacation. She but she was tempted with sex work in Las Vegas and stayed for 10 years. She was a waitress, a stripper, an escort and finally the director of a “Top” agency.

In her book, she explains how escort work became naturalized among young girls in Nevada. “For me and my friends, being an escort was more logical and often safer than having an affair. We were young and we lived in a city where one night stands were normal after a party. We knew powerful and wealthy men who treated us well and respected what we did."

“They look for escorts instead of having lovers because it is safer and cheaper. And it didn't seem like a bad career choice to us: You make a lot of money for dating, going to expensive restaurants and wearing nice clothes”, she concludes, with complete logic. It is one of the best stories in Nevada about Las Vegas and its parties.
