In reply to Norrae prine. Correct. Walk away. They are not allowed to charge for photos. A $5 tip each is more than reasonable if you want a photo. It encourages these folks, so I discourage doing it.

If you are the type who goes to strip clubs, be careful in Las Vegas. Some Vegas Strip clubs will give you a limo ride to their establishment but ask that you give a hefty tip to the limo driver, security guards, bouncer, floor host, etc. In addition, dancers will keep harassing you trying to get you to do a private dance since this is how they make money. The drinks are also overpriced and there is usually a minimum of 2 drinks at $20 a drink. All this is in addition to a cover charge that is $40 or $50.

Also be careful of them since they are a scam. They have hustled people by signing a CD for someone who doesn’t want one and at first they are told it is free. Once they had the CD to you, they want a $20 donation and other “aspiring rap artists” will approach you and want you to accept their CD and pay them $20. In some cases people have been assaulted:

Just an FYI about some buildings that “skip” floors, it’s not uncommon for high rises and skyscrapers to have entire floors dedicated to mechanical equipment for HVAC. They’re not always in the basement or top level. Of course, most buildings still skip 13 altogether, though the skipping 40s is something I hadn’t noticed before.

I visit Las Vegas last week for the 1st time in my 46 years of living. It was truly an experience for me. I didn’t get to take in all the scenery; was only there 2 days. But, I seen quite a bit. Very interesting and entertaining city, with lots to do, even if you aren’t a gambler Anyway, one of the things that stood out during my visit was these 2 guys-very gorgeous and muscular, might I add, who was charging $20 to take photos with them. I was thinking, Las Vegas folks surely know how to hustle people out there money. I mean, these guys weren’t celebrities or anything; they just looked good and women were taking pictures with them and they were charging them. $20 if you wanted both guys in the picture and $10 if you wanted only 1. I take it, things like that is a norm for a place like Las Vegas.

I’ve lived in Vegas for a while now so here’s my opinions. Uhh #1 is not a scam..Hotels have to cater to suspicions because they have guests from around the world and they actually lose money if they do and not realizing certain suspicions has almost made certain casinos go bankrupt in the past. They aren’t lying about how many rooms they have, they are just numbering them differently.

As far as access to nightclubs the rule is the person outside handing out the ticket or bracelets are NOT the ones who charge you. They are supposed to give you the bracelet and you get charged at the door. It has their code on it so they get a take and you get some sort of deal. If they are charging you for a bracelet it’s because they stole them so they wouldn’t get anything when you use it. Real promoters hand those things out like candy. Also if you can find the man holding the same bracelets inside the casino. Only 1 or 2 guys is allowed to promote inside and is usually the one actually in charge meaning he’s the only one who could potentially get you a better deal.

The biggest scam is in fact bottle service. Why would you pay thousands to sit at a booth and drink a $50 bottle of grey goose? Especially since you still have to tip your hostess graciously. If you believe it’s worth it for the girls you are so sad, those girls are literally just there to sit down and get free booze. It’s so much easier than the old days when you had to sit at the bar and wait for a guy to buy you 1 drink at a time.

If you go anywhere under the suggestion of a local, they are getting a cut but that doesn’t mean you are getting scammed. I could have no affiliation with a place and if I hear someone say they want to go to a stripclub could say I’ll call us a cab. I can call up the club and say bring a cab I have customers and I’ll get $50 a person. You wouldn’t even know because you still paid the same amount you always would have and maybe even less (some of the rides there are actually free). All you would know is the girl you came with disappeared in the bathroom a little after you got there. The rule of thumb here is you never pay the person offering you the great deal, their cut is has to legally come from the establishment.

I’m also not sure why everyone says the girls on the card is a scam. I’ve heard 1 person call for a girl from them and of course it wasn’t the girl from the card, but he said she looked similar and really hot. The girls on the cards being different is not to scam you, it’s to protect the girls. The second you use your photo in a prostitution ad you can be arrested for prostitution without even getting caught exchanging money for sex. Using the escort services will actually keep you from getting scammed by that Streetwalker or Craigslist girl who will just steal from you or give you a disease.

Umm duh your food isn’t being made by the chefs…They have places all over the world, they aren’t Santa Clause and can’t cook for everybody. You are paying for the fact that the head chefs were usually trained by them to make their recipes.
