So the INTEROP convention is this week though you would have never known it. Once NAB (National Association of Broadcasters.. the largest Vegas convention still, I believe) is over with it means the end of convention season is winding down. Darnit! Next come the summer time travelers and the families. Quite a few bachelor parties remain but I worry gas prices might hinder the traffic coming in from California this summer. Southern California drivers flood the I-15 on Friday afternoons trying to escape Los Angeles or San Deigo… they tend to do the last minute traveling plan and get one room for 5 guys but sometimes it works out.. keeps the money flowing into the town for sure.

Now for some random questions I get asked repeatedly to continue on with this series

Lots of customers ask me how I got to Las Vegas… which I usually respond with a quirky, “I drove here”, to get a chuckle out of them. Really I first started coming here during the summer months to escape the slow season in the topless clubs that I worked in back home. It worked out well and I would make way more money than I would have before. I sometimes would pay off only my tip-out at the clubs back home due to the number of men staying at home with their kids while they were off from school or would be out on vacations. Why not work where they went FOR vacation? Was a good plan for sure.

Then their next question is: “How did you start doing this?” The answer is a slightly complex one that I’d rather not go into, but basically when I was working in the clubs in my home state I was already dealing with levels of prostitution but in denial about it. Complete denial. After getting fed up with dealing with working in Las Vegas strip clubs where it is hustle or die with no regulars, I decided to give an agency a shot. I was sick and tired of the men hassling me and begging me to solicit then only give me 20 bucks for a pathetic dance. Things in Vegas were changing at the times in the strip clubs: massive clubs were being built, Cheetahs/Jaguar’s owner was under federal indictment, and I had been about 10-15 lbs overweight and that never helps when you want to get the good shift at the Spearmint Rhino from a manager named John who is notorious for being highly selective. I lied to the first agency I went to and said I had worked for an agency before but not in Las Vegas. Looking back I acted like a complete imbecile when dealing with them, but I learned a lot. I also came to learn that I worked for the toughest agency in town (and still is to this day) so at least I started out with the worst which means it can only get better! I got a different, less tough agency to work for soon after then (which is now owned by some one else who recently just lost their *mind*), and met a girl who referred me to a service that I still work for today. That’s my little story of how I began… it’s been almost 5 years since I started working out here, and it’s still completely unpredictable.

I guess thats what comes with being more popular. Ah well its worth it in the end when it comes down to business.

So today was the latest prankster from New Mexico who talked faster than anything I have ever heard plus his heavy hispanic accent made me say “huh” and “what” every two seconds. After finally understanding him he wanted to be “friends” with me and talk on the phone. Sorry but no can do. I asked if he was coming to Vegas and he replied with “maybe”. I said when you are for sure and here in Vegas I would love to come see you but until then, I’m sorry I can’t chat on the phone. I come home to get ready for the day and he calls back again saying that he wants to come to Las Vegas but isn’t sure and “how much for a blow job”. I explain that prostitution is illegal and my normal speech and he asked me yet again after that. I hung up. Called back AGAIN and I just made sure he would never call again so I was silly and said I was going to call the cops if he did it again. Heh well it worked!

The funniest call this week? Oklahoma boy with a strong accent calls up on a Saturday at 3pm asking an odd request:
“I would just like someone to come over, wax my eyebrows and talk dirty in my ear”
I could barely hold back a laugh. I said I can definitely do the second request but not the first because well… I am an escort not and aesthetician! He said “well why not? I am not asking for sex I just want my eyebrows waxed and talked dirty to!” Again I repeated I can’t fulfill that request… and he said back:
“Well what kind of entertainer are you?!”
I hung up. I have to say that was about the funniest call.

So this week is convention season galore! March and such is known for the heavy conventioneer traffic plus spring break students (I am not too fond of) and March Madness. This week has been ConExpo (construction guys love hot girls), ShoWest (stage and production convention who also like hot girls) and some other smaller nerdy computer conventions.
Hope tonight is another good one!

This week is the MAGIC convention (I can’t find what it stands for but its basically a large fashion show for clothing makers that draws a lot of people). You could have fooled me that these people were even in town because it has been fairly quiet and the people I have gone to see on calls were not even here for any particular reason but to go on vacation in Vegas. The only reason why I know the fashion people are in town by the way people were dressed in the Venetian while I sat to eat at the Grand Lux Cafe. Great people watching site along with great way to assess how many crazy people come to Vegas. It’s amazing.

Besides the convention in town the other event going on is the hurricane force wind storm we are having. We get an amazing amount of wind here during the spring months but tonight is just something else. How’s a girl to keep her dress down in this weather? Heh. The answer is: she doesn’t! I am sure that is a factor in tonight’s quietness. I have seen at least two signs smashed to bits and a P.F. Chang’s sign that seemed to be speared by itself and slid down til it stopped on the larger part of its support beam. Wow. What a mess.

Hope some guys stay in their room and decide to get a girl to stay warm n’ toasty. I can surely help.

Well I say that but I have only had 2 calls who were actually here for the concrete show (one ended up working out and the other was okay money). I don’t know what happened around town but all of the sudden things started picking up and my phone starting ringing. Most importantly those calls that I went to were actually turning out to be decent money calls instead of a whole bunch of pranksters.

Escorting in Las Vegas is amazing. There is no rhyme or reason to the ebb and flow of this town. One day will be crazy busy and you see HORDES of people on the Strip but yet all of the agencies and my web ads are quiet. Not a peep. Then the next week it will be a huge convention but they just don’t spend money. Then the next week it seems like no one is walking around the Strip but the calls I get will be scarce but huge money. No way of predicting things. I would be better off predicting the weather in Las Vegas than I would predicting how much money I will make a night.

Glad to see things are picking up. I just hope I don’t jinx myself.

I took a little vacation (didn’t I just take one?) Well the first one was more of a vacation to see family and such but this one was for fun and time with friends. Had a blast though I missed the CES convention (150,000 people attend) and the AVN (porn) convention. The second one doesn’t increase much business on my end but I think it gets the computer geeks at the CES convention riled up and eager to call a girl to come over. I came home on the tail end of it and had an okay night when I got back though it was mostly due to a regular. Since then it has been dead, seriously dead, and tonight was okay at first then a bunch of bull crap calls. I hate it when it seems like the people who enjoy to play games come into town.. they seem to travel in bunches.

So here I am awake at 8 am since a girl who answers the phone at a service said the phones were ringing and may have something soon. I hope so because the last 12 hours have been lame. Pictures to come soon I promise!

The conference ended today and was a pretty good motivating two days that gave me ideas and made me more aware of ways to spruce up my blog. The only complaint was some of the disorganization of the sessions and some repeating subjects of the workshop. I don’t know if I would have gone if it wasn’t in my city… but I am glad I went, none the less.

And now for the best photo from the conference.. of course not taken AT the Las Vegas Convention Center.
