Comments on: Las Vegas Escort Agencies: How Do They Really Work?

The police scope is now only requested by some companies to distance themselves from liabilities if someone they hire has a bad criminal past, just like with any other job. I have heard rumors that some strip clubs in town request this as well to make sure they aren’t hiring undesirables with rap sheets as long as their extensions. Any agency here you must present ID to be hired. Otherwise it’s a huge liability to verify girl’s age among other things. Working for an agency in this town is a licensed and regulated business, not some fly by night owners who open their doors with no paperwork.

Curious as to why agencies require a police scope? Is this some legal reason? My understanding it isn’t required in Florida. Also in Florida, it isn’t required to have an actual copy of the person’s ID, just all the information on it written on their independent contractor form.

Wow, pay outs to the cabs are ridiculous. It’s amazing the company can afford advertising. Plus what kind of guy is the girl being sent to.

I’d say go with just a flat referral fee to the girl (not the bond scam). An let the girl negotiate from there, just as she would at a strip club. Which at the end of the night ends up being more than $250. An with how many girls flood the clubs, you don’t always make your fee to work at the club, let alone have a locker, or $ for d.j. bouncers and valet. Good nights it is worth it, but other nights, I got fed up.

I get tipping the phone girls, but maybe a jar or something? $1,000 a night? Yes, a lot of work involved, but that is insane. An it shouldn’t be a required percentage. Seems like requiring any indie to tip and pay out fees other than the referral rate is illegal? Not sure with Nevada, everything is weird.

But, if anything, please respond to why police scopes are required and how soon you have to get it to work? Thank you.

I run an agency here in las vegas…and phone girls do well, so do agencies and so do entertainers. It costs alot of money to operate phone systems, pay for web designers, computers and licensing…on top of itAGENCIES are the ONLY ones who pay legitimate taxes, because of the high cost to do business. So everytime you run a credit card, that money is taxed as though the agency made the entire amount when in reality, they do have to pay a cab driver etc.

So agencies may suck, but the good ones are worth it, and the bad ones go out of business in a few months.

What if when you pay the agency fee of $250, and the girl show up and than negotiate the price, but the price the girl is asking was too high? Can you ask for a different girl or it is pretty much too bad, that you won’t get any action instead spend $250 to just see a girl and do nothing?
And does the girl charge by hourly?

I have a question, so when the girls pay cash to a customer how does the agency get the money. I heard of something where they take the money off of a credit card that a girl has. Is this true?

Its not as bad as people make it seem though. If you look at it in a different light, if you work for a bigger service you just look at it as the fee is 150-300 for each call they give you. Not all services work with cab drivers.. that sounds really scummy and dumpy. Thats what alot of strip clubs do as well. They make money off the cab drivers and the cab drivers make alot in return for the client drop off. Agencies that rely strictly on advertising and have a higher call volume usually charge 150-200 and u can tip the phone girls but moderately unless its an extremely good call. the tips you collect are your business

I personally don’t ask for such silly things since this is a tourist town with men who call escorts only when they are in Sin City… and not anywhere else. Hard to get referrals or any of that nonsense from potential customers. I ask for the same thing the agency does here… First and Last name for customer, cell phone (if available), room number and where they are staying. I ask for the last name to make sure the person is really staying at the hotel/room or not… not to do some background check.

ID’s are irrelevant… the government makes the IDs so of course the cops can get fake ones.

Elsewhere? Maybe agencies don’t ask for such information.. worth trying for sure.

LVC,

Again, great post with lots of information here.

While browsing, I find some independents require a lot of information as well as references from other escorts. While I completely understand this and don’t have a problem with name, hotel, showing ID, etc., I am very uncomfortable giving some of the information that they ask for.

So what sort of information can I expect an agency phone girl to ask for verses an independent for verification?

Thanks.

That is perhaps the most terrible system I have ever heard of. It rips off you, it rips off the customer, it puts the phone girl in a rotten position – the only people who make out are the cabbies and the agency. I don’t know how you do it!

whoa that’s rough.. i though LA was tough with a 50/50 split. (phone girl tip outs and drivers fees) But i totally get you gotta do what you gotta do, its a tough biz and its getting tougher everyday. only the strong will survive in this economic down turn.

I kept 50% of my “dancing fee.” I heard rumors in Vegas that the girls working for agencies didn’t get any of the fees, and only got tips. It’s competitive, so I understand it in many ways.

I work in finance which is commission as well, if my employer tried to cap me I’d be out the door and working for his competitor before he finished his sentence. That’s not cool at all.

I’m in Vegas may 29th, haven’t had any luck finding your ad on Eros yet, though I haven’t had much time to surf it, lot of ads there. You should email me

Yea… I know compared to a lot of places it is high but I think in order to make yourself seen and stand out in Vegas you have to spend a lot on advertising. Plus the fee to get the license to run an outcall service is absolutely crazy so… you have to charge that much to stay afloat.

Yea the phone girls do have some potential to make some pretty awesome money. One company I know for actually had a tip cap and the company kept the rest… which I think is pretty shitty. The thing about phone girls is they make commission so.. if the entertainers have bad nights and make nothing, so do the phone girls. They could work for 12 hours and make 20-40 bucks but the next day they make 1,000. Las Vegas is so unpredictable so I couldn’t give you an average of their successful calls.. also depends on the size of the company. I think girls at the larger company make on average 200-300 a night while girls elsewhere may average 100 a night

Damn, sounds like the phone girls have the potential to make some great money. How many (successful) calls in an evening would they typically field?

That is insane! My fees are high but the girl gets the most. She is doing all the work!

Damn! And I thought the agencies I’ve worked for were tight. I’d get half of about $300-$350, which sucked, and they’d only tip $50 max. Usually $20, and some not at all. And the agencies I worked for didn’t screen well. I was sent to people after midnight, some of them drunk, high, or just plain jerks. One guy was mentally ill and I suspect secretly filmed me. Indy has been the way to go for me, but I’m not in Vegas.
