That can happen anywhere for a variety of reasons. Did he offend someone as he entered the lot? Once inside the club they wouldn't know which car was his. It may have been random or it may have been that he failed to tip. |

We tried getting a private stripper the last time we were in Vegas, we wound up with a hookers who didnt want to strip. We payed them the fee to get them up to the room, but then didnt get anything else. Its hard (for me at least) to find a place that actually has in call strippers and isn't just a cover for hookers. |

That will be a problem. As everyone knows, prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, so those in the business use thinly veiled buzzwords to advertise, like escorts, strippers, and Asian massage. That makes it difficult to find a legitimate practitioners of these businesses. Craig's List always has a bunch of ads for Vegas strippers, who claim that is all they do. Sometimes I get asked for a personal recommendation. I'm afraid I don't have any. If anyone can provide one, feel free to mention it in adult discussions. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

not sure if he offended anyone but i doubt its because he failed to tip. he likes to throw money around. he spent about $40,000 while he was here. |

| clarkacal Member since: Sep 22, 2010 Threads: 41 Posts: 388 | Wizard, did the cabbie know you were local when you asked about a free ride? If he knew there was no cover he wouldn't be able to do it. Only once have I not been able to get a free ride or a free ride + cash and that was because admittance fees were way down at the time. They never really want to do it but it is better than them sitting in line doing nothing. One time I made the deal with the cabbie before I got in as always and on the way there he said he couldn't do it and didn't know what I was talking about. I said we made the deal before I ever got in the cab so if he didn't want to do it he could take me back where he picked me up. He changed his mind and honored the deal. ****ing cabbies! |

He did not. I should have mentioned it. Also, he was not exactly a cabbie. He drove a limo, but I think picked up passengers like a cabbie would. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| FleaStiff Member since: Oct 19, 2009 Threads: 75 Posts: 4807 | That is odd. Usually people smart enough to have 40k to spend are smart enough to recognize the hype of a strip club and steer clear of such places unless of course they own one. |

Maybe he just didn't give a damn. I find the atmosphere of mutual contempt in such situations amusing: the employees/servers/etc. hold the high-roller in contempt for his disregard for money and kiss up to him while loathing his guts; the high-roller holds those people in contempt because they care about money and he doesn't. I've mentioned this elsewhere, but you should hear what gets said in the dealer break room right after they have dealt to a black chip-tipping high roller. No such person would ever tip again if he heard those conversations. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.---George Bernard Shaw |
