Wow! Illegal prostitution in Las Vegas has gotten so out of hand in the last 35 years. I had more action when I lived there than I did in the 3 days I was there prior to moving, when I was checking out where I was going to rent/live, but the prostitutes I came across were just trying to either score their next “ drug hit” or pay their own rent. The scenarios you talk about in this vid are way more in depth than TV shows and movies depict. On the other hand, it sounds like the pimps and girls have paid attention to those scripts and realized how stupid “johns” really are. I came across one at a bar in Westgate (back then it was the Las Vegas Hilton). Most of the time though I found them near the places they lived. I actually got to know some over several days before hooking up. That was years ago - I don’t do that anymore. I’ve become asexual since.
So I used to work the graveyard shift at the Diamond Inn, across the street from the Mandalay Bay and I remember 2 times where prostitutes drugged men and stole money from them. One of those occasions placed me in an awkward situation because a prostitute escorted a Swedish or Danish tourist to his room and 5 minutes later came back to the lobby where I worked and took his credit card and kept making withdrawals. She said the tourist wanted to give her a “birthday present”. She made about 5 withdrawals before the card finally declined. I believe she probably got about $1,000. Now here is where it gets funny: At one point she mentioned she was wearing makeup (she was a BEAUTIFUL black woman with an amazing face and body) and I said “wait…youre wearing makeup?”. At first she was like “cmon man, are you serious?” I got close to her face, squinted and looked carefully at her face and said “youre wearing makeup?” She then got visibly emotional and said “I love you!” and gave me a $20 bill and left. True story.
I suppose a "rocket scientist", "brain surgeon", or high ranking member of MENSA, just doesn't make any of the mistakes talked about in this video to START WITH??🤣🤣
As a security guard who works at one of the strip properties, everything he said is spot on. He also should have added that even if security and police are able to help you in a situation involving a prostitute, you'll still be charged for soliciting sex, so you'll be a victim and be slapped with a charge, its a terrible idea so just ignore those women as tempting as they are. The only advice I can say is that if you get into any trouble at an MGM, Caesars, or any mega resort casino, notifying security is way more effective than trying to fix the problem yourself or calling the police. We know the property better than you do and we can direct police, paramedics, and provide first aid way faster than any other help can arrive. Good video.
As an 18 year old US Marine in 1977 I took a trip with buddies from 29 Palms Ca to LV by a bus. Upon arrival every hooker, con man , rip off artist, and scumbag, was waiting to steal as much money as quickly as possible, and in the late 70s it wasn't difficult identifying young Marines from the rest of the population . My trip was ruined as I couldnt go anywhere without someone trying to con me. I hated Las Vegas and to this day will never go back. Tijuana had less grifters!
@@susanfurlong2002 Oh I left out the best part -- the Military Green School Bus had USMC painted on the sides with bright yellow paint, this way the Hookers really could see us coming. Lol
Great video. I wish a buddy of mine had seen it. He was murdered earlier this year by a prostitute that he took back to his room and he was drugged with fentanyl. Her and her husband had been running this kind of scam and others for a couple years. My buddy died that night from an OD and fortunately the scumbags were caught and a criminal trial is pending.
@@bubbaj1932 Thank you very much. Hard to come to grips with it. He was definitely flawed as a person, but the amount of good he did really made him a productive and loved member of society. I need to face these POS to help with closure when the trial happens.
I have a friend who takes counterfeit bills with him when he goes places. And he carries them in his pocket in case he gets robbed. Can you imagine, robbing somebody, and then trying to spend the money and going to prison for counterfeit? LOL
@@allenh7835 Criminals aren't smart enough to check for "not legal tender" when robbing you, and your buddy apparently wasn't smart enough to put it on his counterfeits lol
I like how Jacob went over all the points and kept the viewer listening and fixed on this. He went over details and examples of what happen and could happen. Thanks Jacob
If you ever decide to in the future, be careful if you ask them to evacuate their bowels on your chest.... they'll pull that, 'I cant go. Im trying to shit on you, you see I'm pushing but I just don't have to go right now' bullshit. Yet you don't get any money back if you leave with a clean chest, and every time, if you stand in the hall for a few minutes on your way out, you'll here a toilet flush within 5 minutes!! Almost every bitch drops what shoulda been YOUR heat as soon as you leave and just fakes not being able to cover your chest so that it looks like a Pollock painted with wet dook!! Apparently, rolling around in a baby pool covered in shit while pissing on yourself "takes up too much of their "valuable" time" and they have to either "clean up and cover the smell of shit or pay for and move to another room" cause thats sooo difficult, besides its THEIR shit, the smell shouldn't be THAT bothersome..... Anyway, Im just saying, when you're in this situation, and lets be honest you'll DEFINITELY be in this situation, don't pay to have a whore unload her ass on your chest upfront, hold the cash earmarked for this part of the service until after that dump is delivered to your satisfaction.... otherwise, theres a really good chance that you won't be spreading shit all over yourself and pissing into your own face and if you can't do that, then what are you paying a whore for?
@CashJohnson-k4x “no one has been able to debate me” someone brings rebuttle “wow cool idc” gee i wonder why no one has been able to logically debate you lmao 🤡
Meh, that's like saying if you don't want to be in a car accident, never ride in cars, or don't want to get hit by lightning, never go outside if the weather isn't perfect. That's not living life.
I think some people wish they could hang out at Emergency Room and yell,.. " That's what you get , Stupid !" at every man, woman and child that an ambulance brings in.
Just back from Freemont St. Saw 2 topless women trying to pick pocket some guys front pack that was in the back area. They ended up getting the guys credit card and scanning it into their own device. Wow what a stupid thing to do ! Probably deserved being ripped off.
You are dead on. I've been to Vegas dozens of times. You spelled out the reality of it. One thing I noticed is that the staff at big hotels are fairly protective of their guests. I was having a drink at the bar in a strip hotel and a couple of girls started flirting with us hard. The staff seemed to know they were up to no good and ejected them with a few minutes. I wouldn't have done anything with them because I saw what they were doing but the bar staff was on it.
naturally an establishment like a hotel wants to keep its customers safe to have a good reputation. Regular people won't want to go to a wretched hive of scum and villainy
@@Eralen00 But those Mos Eisley hookers though... let me tell ya. They have some of the best. Some are weird looking, but still worth it. Would definitely warp drive over there again.
Jacob is doing a real public service here. Giving people tips to stay safe in Las Vegas is great. Several years ago, me & a few other guys went to LV. Lots of fun. Had never been before. We stayed at one of the top properties. We also met some women & invited them back to our room. And yes, one of them did text someone. And yes, Three Guys did show up at our door. One of the women answered the door. The Three Good Sized Guys entered the room & demanded our wallets. Unfortunately for them, all Four of us had our own weapons & when they entered the room, we had already pulled our weapons. You never saw Three Grown Men run so fast in your life. The Women were right behind them. Best Advice: Be Prepared!
@@VINCE-w2h Use of the facilities like the pool, gym, concierge, etc., etc. The irony here is that some of those amenities charge anyway, and if you don't use them you still have to pay the fee.
Is very thoughtful of you to do this. If I was a Las Vegas " big wheel" I would make you the ambassador of safety and goodwill for the entire frigging state. you are a good man, Jacob. your family should be proud of you.
You’ve really gotta be kidding. A “good man”? Whose “family should be proud”? He’s a John. Not only that but he admits to knowing at least some of these women are slaves-ie have pimps. Unbelievable
I’ve been going to Vegas for probably 30yrs. I don’t normally “hit” the tables until later in the night. Hit some slots around 10pm and go from there. Around 11pm on, you’ll begin to see very young (20ish) very attractive woman (Alone), start showing up hanging around the elevators. One night during my last trip, around 12:30am or so, I was headed up to my room to grab a pack of smokes, when a young lady said “hi”. I stupidly said hello back. You going to your room, she asked, I said yep, going to grab smokes. Can I go with you? What for, I’ll be back down here in 5 min. Your married aren’t you Nope Well, I’m gonna go with you No, your not. Tell you what, if you’re still here when I come back down, maybe we can talk. (which I had no intention of doing) Ok, I’ll be here I spent an extra few minutes in my room and came back down, and she was gone. Guys, these “ladies” will hover around the tables and see what kind of “stack” you have. They see you away from the tables, they’ll “attack”. Not only was I going to grab smokes, I wanted to put about $3500 in the safe in my room. Go there enough, they’re easy enough to spot.
you are paranoid. how often do you think they rob people in big hotels? most of the women there are working with the staff. part of everyday business. you talk as if no one not gets robbed
I work in IT. A few years ago I worked for the venetian and palazzo hotels. They had company-wide meetings where they talked about security. One of the things that they mentioned was making sure that your hotel door is always shut. Because people would get in to the hotel halls, push on the hotel room door, and then get into your room and steal your stuff. Watch your back and be smart while you're in vegas or anywhere, for that matter.
Beware of getting into random limos from off the strip. I got in one with my friend and a "Host" and even though I was drunk I knew something wasn't right. My escape tactic was that I needed to throw up, car door wouldn't open from the inside and the windows couldn't be rolled down. So the driver rolls down the window, I open the door from the outside and I get out immediately and bailed with my friend.
The “puke trick” works basically anywhere, especially at concerts. My dad taught it to me, if there’s a huge crowd of people and you’re trying to get out quickly, just act like you’re gonna throw up and it’s like Moses parting the Red Sea! 😂
oh boy I spent a night with a female limo driver I will never forget. She told me she was cheaper than a cab. Haha. She lied but she took me from one bar to another and got drunk with me and showed me places in Vegas' underbelly I will never forget.
@@Ease54why avoid glory holes? On all the websites I've been too online, there's always a really sexy girl ready to please you on the other side of the hole. 🤔
The cure for that is to negotiate the price of the photo first. It's a lot cheaper than they will charge you if you talk price after the photo is taken.
You just gave me a great idea for a reverse uno play. 1) Meet girl 2) Go to room 3) Insist she call her pimp & have him come to your room. Tell him the door is open 4) Wait for him to enter & ambush him 5) Clean him out 6) Call the cops & report a home invasion (the laws are the same in a hotel) 7) Claim they attempted to steal your money but you actually have the pimps money 8) Send them on their way to jail while you walk away with profits
Thank you so much for making this lengthy video. You are by far, a life saver for all the us men and probably women as well. Just incredible. It was very clear watching you, the quality of audio was fantastic. God bless, brother.
I've been going to Vegas since 1990. Mostly in the summertime. Is June July August-September. May. Usually Friday Saturday Sunday. I never notice any of this. The only thing I notice are the people that hand out you know the cards to call somebody to come to your room.
@@1990758 WOW!!! You must have guts, or be extremely tolerant of heat. Because a friend and I went to Vegas back in AUGUST of 2004 or 2005, and the heat was only bearable because of the air conditioning provided....Which made me wonder WHAT was really supplying so much power to light and "chill" the city back then....I find it very difficult to believe that ONLY the Hoover Dam was supplying the city with that much power as I was told by a number of people. Even back then, Las Vegas was a BIG city, and I find it difficult to believe that a dam built in the 1930's was advanced enough to supply the Vegas of the year 2004 or 2005!! (But then again, maybe it's just because I know practically nothing about electricity and power....Or the "aliens" at Area 51 is the REAL source of power??🤣😶🤣) And speaking of the Hoover Dam, the heat that day visiting it was the HOTTEST weather I had ever experienced in my life!! (I think the temp that day was 120°, or OVER!!!🥵🥵) To think men performed dangerous physical work in such heat to build that dam is remarkable itself!! (Assuming such temperatures are not that unusual?)
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801 lol The heat and Las Vegas doesn't bother me But the heat and Los Angeles does. We went to Hoover dam 2015 Memorial Day weekend 125ﾟ.
@@1990758 WOW!! I wonder if there is a record heat there and WHAT it was and WHEN it was!! When I was at the Hoover Dam doing the "tourist thing" I remember some guy with a Southern drawl saying: "I'm from Alabama, and I ain't ever felt heat like this!!!". Interesting comment because having survived Basic Training at Ft. McClellan in Alabama, I knew or "met" that "Alabama heat", but with HUMIDITY 75° can indeed feel much more warmer, but that DRY heat in the Nevada/California/Arizona desert made "Mr Alabama's" remark much more profound to me!!
dude this is my first time watching a video on your channel and you give out some really legit info! there's needs to be more people like you in the world!
I didn't experience Las Vegas as scammy, but I booked a hotel 1 block off the Strip (so incredibly cheap cost), walked or drove myself anywhere I needed to be, and only made purchases by card from legal and regulated businesses. It was a good time. The coolest parts were the interesting hotel designs and the excellent food
Thank you for the warnings. Simply realizing that anyone coming up to you unasked, could be a big problem for you helps. Never think you just got lucky when she looks right in your eyes and smiles.Have a plan of where you want to go and stick to that plan. I spend a lot of time making distance between me and other people trying to stay with me. If I don't know you, I don't want you around me. And it takes years to know me, not hours.Never ever let a stranger buy you drinks or food especially at a place you mistakenly let them get you to go too. If the bartender and this person look chummy,they could be running a scam. Frankly, be smart and protect yourself at all times. Especially in a place you don't know. There are threats in any city. At least,where you live, you know where those threats are. Here, you are just meat for the grinder.
It’s not that serious, if you’re forcing people to take years to know you. You’re only hurting yourself and pushing yourself towards a sad, isolated life
Great video. I lived in Las Vegas for about 5 years and more than once I had to contact security to get someone supposedly "Drunk" get back to their room. Unfortunately this often ended up causing them even more grief because Big Properties do not simply get people to their room anymore. They have EMS pick them up and bring them to the Hospital ER due to an incident that happened with a brittle diabetic. ER Visit will cost you a minimum of $5000.
@@isyt1 who? I've never heard of a single person getting insurance for a holiday... Unless maybe you're traveling somewhere overseas for an extended amount of time. Are you living outside of the US?
@@CrimsonLegacy Yes. Everyone gets travel insurance for holidays. Means your covered if your flights get cancelled, you get robbed or you need medical care in the foreign country.
Worst scam is you get married and get tortured and nagged for your whole life whilst she takes all your money and steals your house at any moment. Be careful.
Brutally realistic and truthful, which is what a lot Vegas visitors need to know. The should be a PSA for all guys thinking they might get lucky, more like will lose your life in some scenarios. Good job, Jacob and thank you.
I could careless if these losers get what’s coming to them, be a decent human and don’t be involved in prostitution. If you need six that much get married.
@@thereisnopandemic what about those guys who will never get married because a woman will never choose them? What then? Prostitution has been out longer than organized religion, who are u to judge. Your statement is a little naive.
So many folks have glamourized the “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, and the hangover movies have heightened the allure. Myself, I can’t feature playing a gambling game designed to make millions for the casinos. The profit comes from the customers. Not thin air.
This is a GREAT channel. The commentator has a great delivery and an easy voice to listen to. Although he doesn’t mention it, my hunch is he’s LE and most probably has a military background. Yeah, I know he said he worked at a strip club, but some cops will do that to moonlight and there’s nothing wrong with that. Regardless, an excellent video and great information. Now a subscriber. Would like to see one on the best places to be to watch takeoffs at Nellis AFB.
It was 1 1/2 years ago. I wanted to walk to a dispensary to go pick up some choice vape pens for my stay. When I cut through the back neighborhood going west behind the stratosphere there was a man getting roughed up by 2 other men. It looked totally staged. Because they were mainly hitting his body but nothing looked like it would really hurt because the intent wasn’t there. It seemed as though they were waiting for me to intervene for their chance to rob me. But I laughed and keep walking while at the same time making sure I was aware of my surroundings. The 2 guys eventually left. Don’t know if they took anything. The guy who was getting roughed up was trying to make it look like he was a victim but I wasn’t falling for it. Needless to say learn how to read the body language of people. Not just the actions. It can help keep you out of trouble.

Love your videos Jacob! I am a huge fan. I think it is o great that you make these kinds of videos that educate, protect, and engage us. This video could one day save someone's life. Nice one, bro!
Having lived here in Las Vegas the last 30 years and known a lot of people who have worked on the Strip, all the scams you mention are spot on from everything I have heard. Always watch out for pickpockets (men or women) usually working as a team especially around big events in Las Vegas like fights, etc. Also, it is amazing to me how many tourists that come here think that prostitution is legal all over Nevada and are surprised to find out it is not in Las Vegas.
@@YesYourRight I've lived there on and off three times since 84 and I always wondered the same thing. Half the phone book is that industry, I had a friend use to come over and drink beer in my front yard and he always had a cutie hanging on him. I was in court one time and this girl was fined $160 and the judge asked the number of offenses and the court answered six! BTW, the number of the room is always known because there is someone at the building for protection. I saw Pepcon up close and personal, my favorite past time was exploring mine shafts. I recall when the deserts were full of waist, like Cheyenne rd.
Last time I was there is was like $25 for a hamburger and fries and nothing else was open. Add to that the ridiculous $45 resort fee they add on to the room. 20 years ago I worked in Vegas often... At Xmas time the Palace Station had tower rooms for $9... and $5 for employees. Whisky Petes had $16 room for CDL truckers...
Dear Dude: What a good and accurate report you gave here. Keep up the good work! The facts you present about Las Vegas remind me of why I've never visited nor have a real and burning desire to.
@@Chris-fq4xz From personally knowing people who currently live there. Also the city's reputation for catering to evil inclinations is known world wide. Reading definitely helps too.
Working on the strip I noticed the casinos kind of turn a blind eye to this activity but some security friends told the same kind of stories. When a young girl would come up to me all flirty, I would just say I’m local, they spin around so fast and gone.
When I was driving truck there would be a occasional lot lizard knocking on the door....I would just tell them, ""Quiet....If you wake my wife up, she's gonna be pissed!"" They promptly beat feet every time. Another thing: Don't offend or abuse these women. They have a mean streak. A guy told me a story about the time he cussed out a hooker. The next morning he had a bunch of flat tires and had to call a tire service truck to get them aired up, She had pulled the valve stems out of the valve cores. She also tore the ribbon seal off his trailer. That meant he had to deliver a un-sealed load and the customer made him piece-count the load....... Don't play with these women but be polite about it. IF you are a trucker, NEVER LET ANYONE into your cab. The screwin'' yer lookin'' for ain''t nuthin'' like the screwin'' you''ll get!
I walked that area DURING THE DAY, to get to the Pinball Hall of Fame, 3 weeks ago! I like how Strip hotels use the keycards not only to get to the elevator area but to get the elevator to function. As always, this was a great and informative video. They should have you on a loop on the in-room hotel TVs!
I had my fun 1970s stationed in West Germany 🇩🇪/ even at Fort sill, ( Lawton, oklahoma ) w the hookers. Times are different now. These hookers are more scandalous nowadays ☠️💃👀
They have very good accessibility for older folks. Everything has ramps and elevators. Venetian, Mirage and Caesar's is nice. Haven't been in a while. Don't go hunting up drugs and hookers or go off-strip. Take in a show or two (get tix before you get there). And some food. The food is amazing. If you're not a degenerate gambler and want to bet some games it's really not a bad weekend. I was mostly at the caesar's sportsbook and a lot of the people were 60+. And the servers came around regularly because people tipped.
I lived in Vegas for 3 years, and I'll say my street smarts went up exponentially during that period. Nearly any stranger could have a bad agenda. I kept to myself, did my work, and made sure I never made myself too vulnerable to be robbed. I lived in the bad areas, but I kept my car empty and my doors always locked. I never held much cash in my wallet. If I won a big sports bet, I didn't make it known.
To the guys who flash and flaunt they made themselves to stand out so they deserve what's coming next. They want to be a showoff, the better be able to take it as well
I saw several girls on the side of the street... I stopped my car to ask directions to the freeway... They disagreed about the best route... And concluded by saying "Listen... If you go that way it's uncertain... If you come with us, we know what's going to happen..."
I was in Vegas during the late 80's, and was warned by a resident to avoid special "girly bars", which were nondescript places that offered female company in a bar-like atmosphere. They required you to buy drinks for yourself and the girls, and ran a tab on your credit card. Of course the drink prices were over-inflated, and they would continue to place charges on your card as long as they could keep you there. The guy told me one was lucky to escape with no less that $1000 or more charged to your card. If you complained, they had bouncers that would give you a hard time. It was basically coerced robbery from the moment you walked in the door. There were dozens of ads in the Yellow Pages for these places.
@@dingdang3324 Obviously, but AFAIK they're not glued onto your body. Therefore, you can leave them in a safe instead of carrying them right into the heart of shady establishments.
What a very thorough information you provided. You're the only one on UA-cam who talks straight facts. I've been here in Vegas for 3 months now on a medical travel assignment staying at a lodging place off strip just 8 minutes away and it's been amazing. So far, I have not witnessed anything dangerous.
It's comical really, I've lived in the Downtown area forever it seems, at least over 10 years now. Being a native Nevadan it never fails to make me shake my head if I find myself wandering around the Fremont St. Experience and I see 2 or 3 girls approach a guy. Just out of the blue. They couldn't be more obvious. They normally work in pairs though as I've had them approach me. The 1st thing they love to ask? "So where you from?" The very second I say "I'm a local." they become annoyed and wander off. They very much only like to prey on the Tourists.
Yes it’s the same all around the world, where are you from? In third world countries they can be the hardest to shake because they’re more desperate. Especially in Bali but I figured out the quickest way to ditch them if you’re tired and done of their shit. Before they get close enough to even talk to you hold your hands out to each side and say “I have no money!” It ends it right then and there!
I had a few approach me at casinos. Now I lived temporarily in Vegas since I was working as a roofer for a federal contractor in Nellis AFB and so our bosses ended up renting us some apartments. So every other weekend we went out to the Strip. And that's where I would have women, mostly Asian women try to start chit chat with me while I played slots. Now a high school friend of ours who was already living in Vegas warned us before hand that these women were either hookers who could also be thieves or even worse, undercover cops. It didn't help that I was 20 so for the first few weeks I was already breaking the law by gambling while underage. It came to the point where I stopped being nice and told them to piss off. Besides, if you do want to hook up, it's not that hard. There's plenty of regular clubs, strip clubs, bars, etc. Plus unless they're a giga Chad, men inevitably pay for sex one way or another so you may end up buying a girl a drink or whatever and take her back to your place, which we did. And of course, the aforementioned escorts, which you can contact via the cards that they give out at the Strip. And you do see them with rich old farts riding in Vipers and Ferraris looking miserable but hey, they're probably making at least $1k that night
I went to LV in 2018. Stayed for six days and somehow, as a vulnerable person with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorders, I physically survived it. I was there to play in the US Open 10-Ball chanpionship and it was a difficult time. Thankfully, I was never approached by any of these scammers. I dont know whether that is because I only stayed at the Luxor and moved between Mandalay Bay/Luxor/Excalibur/MGM Grand or not, but even though I was constantly on guard, I was surprised that I wasnt in any tough spots. Who knows...maybe it was my being on guard that saved me from people trying to acam in first place. One thing Ill say is that upon returning to the UK, it took me a week to readjust to reality. People who havent been to LV cannot comprehend the size and scale of the place. I wouldn't ever want to go back there. The anxiety I had from constantly being on guard was horrible. Its strictly just Majorca from now on, or a remote location in the English countryside where nobody is out to scam you.
Thanks for the awareness, never visited Vegas but it's definitely on the list! "hooking up" with someone on holiday is not something that really interests me though luckily. Main takeaway from this vid for me is that if the people i'm out there with are stopped by another group on the street for some "polite conversation" to keep my hands in my pockets at the very least
I worked the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) for 10 years in a row. There were about 100 people on our team who went to Vegas for the show every January. Most people on the team were early 20s to early 30s. We had to go over a lot of these points with people nearly every year.
So it's like Clark Griswold said in Vegas Vacation , when Rusty says "I heard prostitution is legal there!" And he responds "Not Within The City Limits!" Lol.
I went to Vegas when I turned 21 and we were staying at the RIO during the WSOP.. One evening me and two friends went to Caesars then at about 3 or 4 AM we left. We were drunk and flagged a taxi. The taxi driver kept asking if we wanted to go get up with some girls ( I didn't really want to but I didn't want to be "that guy" while my other two friends were all for it, but I should've let them go and just went back to my hotel). It's clear that taxi drivers and these establishments are in cohoots. We get to the place and it is the absolute hood. We walk in which is $40 to get in the door. They brought out the girls and you pick one then go to a room (that's another $200). Now, I feel really awkward and just kinda sat there talking to her. because I felt guilty I dunno, that's just not my thing. Then here it comes, more money. I realize it's not gonna end so I just leave. I asked the dude if I could just wait on my friends but being the sleeziest person I've ever met in my life (appearance and personality) he wouldn't let me so I left. I walked out and and stood at the street praying for another cab to come by. A huge dude walks out of the same place I was just in and stares me down. There were sketchy ass people walking around everywhere and I just knew some bad shit was about to happen. Luckily a cab pulled up and I flagged him down like my life depended on it- which it probably did. I made it back to the hotel and a couple hours later my two friends did as well. They both spent over 1k and didn't get more than a well lotioned foot rub. My point here is to watch out for the cabbies cause they're as sleezy as some of the pimps.
Strip joints pay bounty to cabbies to bring visitors to them. A sleazy cabbie can make an extra $100 with 4 guys looking for a good time which they will regret later.
This happened to me at the Olympic garden back in the day, I saw a girl put something in my drink, I calmly acted like I was slightly drugged then left, Before I left I switched drinks so she probably had a bad night lol 😂
This is a good 'post-it note' message to carry with you. Don't forget the basics, have a buddy system when you can... remember, they may have other intentions. let's have a lot of fun, anywhere... and be safe.
I've traveled around the world with the military and do find these tips useful. Our chain of command always tells us to stay away from what they call red light districts. And we're always educated for awareness.
cool my dad fought in ww2 traveled the world to was at pearl and first ship into Japan was put on duty to collect guns and he went out of bounds on the out side of were the nuke went off to find some Kesha girls with a Budy , but to many Japanese was talking at them they decided to back , but one of his buddies got rolled in San Francisco

Pro tip . If you are in Vegas ,and plan on boozing heavily ,bring just enough cash for the night and an ID. That way you don't lose a watch,credit cards ,etc
prime rule of safety for a tourist is don't act like a tourist. when outside, - don't wear or carry anything flashy - be discreet and don't draw attention to yourself - blend in as much as possible - always be alert and aware of your surroundings - minimal or no alcohol/weed consumption - regard everyone with suspicion specially the overly friendly locals
That's the "Know Your Number" rule. Guys, be honest with yourself. If you're a pudgy 5 or 6 and a smokin' hot 9 starts flirting and chatting you up then you're about to lose your wallet or, maybe a kidney.
I remember when my brother was robbed in Vegas. Him and his buddy her at the strip club and a stripper walked up and asked him if he wanted a lap dance for $20. He politely declined and said no. She walked over to the bouncer and told him that she had given my brother a lap dance and that he refused to pay her. The bouncer came over and refused to let them leave until he gave her $20.
Something like that happened to my cousin but then he went back and shot the security and stripper. 😕 But he’s in Mexico now he’s an English teacher now lol 😂
@@kipdon did u ever went to the strip club? lol..its 2022..you lucky to get lap dance for 200-300..if you drunk they will steal your credit cards and you woke up with 2-3k bill

My wife's parents would go to Sin City every year. They knew how to stay safe. The stories they'd bring back about how people were so addicted to the gambling tables in the casinos, they'd actually put up the mortgages on their homes in the event they'd win. Nine times out of ten, they didn't win.
I'll never forget after a long night out walking back through the casino and passing by the locals at the slot machines. My Vegas friend told me they were trying to make their rent. A few literally were leaning forward with their heads against a paper cups against the machines while they were pulling. Like zombies barely awake.
I was at The Horseshoe Casino in 2022. A few young guys approached the roulette table I was at. Placed a $2,000 bet on black .. and *lost.* I think they took a collection from friends back home. At least $400 of it was in smaller bills.
I’ve been to Vegas. There was little to like. That, combined with all these dangers, and the prices for food and drink, makes me wonder why anyone goes there at all.
When I was 4 years old my dad started taking me to the Mustang Brothel. We would go on Sunday afternoons about once a month. Back then the Mustang was in Wadsworth a few miles farther east than were the brothels are now. Prostitution was illegal in Washo county but not in Story county. I would sit on the ladies laps while my dad did business. He owned a drug store in Reno with a Revlon franchise so sold cosmetics and sundries to the sex workers. Both my mom and dad were for legalized prostitution for a bunch of reasons I didn't understand. Going out there was always fun because the girls smelled good and made a fuss over me. Reno was a great place to grow up in.
@@Bastikovski99 Wait a minute?....Maybe that's why my mom always sent me with him. After all these years I finally know. Thanks for helping me to understand. Lol
I said hi to some French girl in Vegas, within a hour we were back in her room. We went to dinner after and walked down the strip and eventually parted ways to go to bed. Unexpected events are truly common in Vegas.

Wow! Illegal prostitution in Las Vegas has gotten so out of hand in the last 35 years.
I had more action when I lived there than I did in the 3 days I was there prior to moving, when I was checking out where I was going to rent/live, but the prostitutes I came across were just trying to either score their next “ drug hit” or pay their own rent.
The scenarios you talk about in this vid are way more in depth than TV shows and movies depict. On the other hand, it sounds like the pimps and girls have paid attention to those scripts and realized how stupid “johns” really are.
I came across one at a bar in Westgate (back then it was the Las Vegas Hilton). Most of the time though I found them near the places they lived. I actually got to know some over several days before hooking up.
That was years ago - I don’t do that anymore. I’ve become asexual since.
So I used to work the graveyard shift at the Diamond Inn, across the street from the Mandalay Bay and I remember 2 times where prostitutes drugged men and stole money from them. One of those occasions placed me in an awkward situation because a prostitute escorted a Swedish or Danish tourist to his room and 5 minutes later came back to the lobby where I worked and took his credit card and kept making withdrawals. She said the tourist wanted to give her a “birthday present”. She made about 5 withdrawals before the card finally declined. I believe she probably got about $1,000.
Now here is where it gets funny:
At one point she mentioned she was wearing makeup (she was a BEAUTIFUL black woman with an amazing face and body) and I said “wait…youre wearing makeup?”.
At first she was like “cmon man, are you serious?”
I got close to her face, squinted and looked carefully at her face and said “youre wearing makeup?”
She then got visibly emotional and said “I love you!” and gave me a $20 bill and left.

It helps pay for the street police, the bridges across the main roads, etc.
Well said
As a security guard who works at one of the strip properties, everything he said is spot on. He also should have added that even if security and police are able to help you in a situation involving a prostitute, you'll still be charged for soliciting sex, so you'll be a victim and be slapped with a charge, its a terrible idea so just ignore those women as tempting as they are. The only advice I can say is that if you get into any trouble at an MGM, Caesars, or any mega resort casino, notifying security is way more effective than trying to fix the problem yourself or calling the police. We know the property better than you do and we can direct police, paramedics, and provide first aid way faster than any other help can arrive. Good video.
If you go to a girl for paid sex, you're not a "victim."
So you're saying "Very Bad Things" could have been a much shorter movie?

Great video. I wish a buddy of mine had seen it. He was murdered earlier this year by a prostitute that he took back to his room and he was drugged with fentanyl. Her and her husband had been running this kind of scam and others for a couple years. My buddy died that night from an OD and fortunately the scumbags were caught and a criminal trial is pending.

If you ever decide to in the future, be careful if you ask them to evacuate their bowels on your chest.... they'll pull that, 'I cant go. Im trying to shit on you, you see I'm pushing but I just don't have to go right now' bullshit. Yet you don't get any money back if you leave with a clean chest, and every time, if you stand in the hall for a few minutes on your way out, you'll here a toilet flush within 5 minutes!! Almost every bitch drops what shoulda been YOUR heat as soon as you leave and just fakes not being able to cover your chest so that it looks like a Pollock painted with wet dook!! Apparently, rolling around in a baby pool covered in shit while pissing on yourself "takes up too much of their "valuable" time" and they have to either "clean up and cover the smell of shit or pay for and move to another room" cause thats sooo difficult, besides its THEIR shit, the smell shouldn't be THAT bothersome..... Anyway, Im just saying, when you're in this situation, and lets be honest you'll DEFINITELY be in this situation, don't pay to have a whore unload her ass on your chest upfront, hold the cash earmarked for this part of the service until after that dump is delivered to your satisfaction.... otherwise, theres a really good chance that you won't be spreading shit all over yourself and pissing into your own face and if you can't do that, then what are you paying a whore for?

You are dead on. I've been to Vegas dozens of times. You spelled out the reality of it. One thing I noticed is that the staff at big hotels are fairly protective of their guests. I was having a drink at the bar in a strip hotel and a couple of girls started flirting with us hard. The staff seemed to know they were up to no good and ejected them with a few minutes. I wouldn't have done anything with them because I saw what they were doing but the bar staff was on it.

Jacob is doing a real public service here. Giving people tips to stay safe in Las Vegas is great. Several years ago, me & a few other guys went to LV. Lots of fun. Had never been before. We stayed at one of the top properties. We also met some women & invited them back to our room. And yes, one of them did text someone. And yes, Three Guys did show up at our door. One of the women answered the door. The Three Good Sized Guys entered the room & demanded our wallets. Unfortunately for them, all Four of us had our own weapons & when they entered the room, we had already pulled our weapons. You never saw Three Grown Men run so fast in your life.

I’ve been going to Vegas for probably 30yrs. I don’t normally “hit” the tables until later in the night. Hit some slots around 10pm and go from there. Around 11pm on, you’ll begin to see very young (20ish) very attractive woman (Alone), start showing up hanging around the elevators. One night during my last trip, around 12:30am or so, I was headed up to my room to grab a pack of smokes, when a young lady said “hi”. I stupidly said hello back.
You going to your room, she asked, I said yep, going to grab smokes.
Can I go with you?
What for, I’ll be back down here in 5 min.
Your married aren’t you
Nope
Well, I’m gonna go with you
No, your not. Tell you what, if you’re still here when I come back down, maybe we can talk. (which I had no intention of doing)
Ok, I’ll be here
I spent an extra few minutes in my room and came back down, and she was gone.
Guys, these “ladies” will hover around the tables and see what kind of “stack” you have.
They see you away from the tables, they’ll “attack”.
Not only was I going to grab smokes, I wanted to put about $3500 in the safe in my room.
Go there enough, they’re easy enough to spot.
If an attractive woman talks to a guy and she doesn't work for the casino then she is most likely a hooker.
thans for the tip
you are paranoid. how often do you think they rob people in big hotels? most of the women there are working with the staff. part of everyday business. you talk as if no one not gets robbed
@@adamkhabazian3249 not about robbery. Easier to get someone to spend money they won and didn't earn.
@@ThatsRNG true but who cares you go to Vegas to blow a bunch of money on debauchery if you're going to Vegas to win money you're a fool.
I work in IT. A few years ago I worked for the venetian and palazzo hotels. They had company-wide
meetings where they talked about security. One of the things that they mentioned was making sure that your hotel door is always shut. Because people would get in to the hotel halls, push on the hotel room door, and then get into your room and steal your stuff.
Watch your back and be smart while you're in vegas or anywhere, for that matter.
Beware of getting into random limos from off the strip. I got in one with my friend and a "Host" and even though I was drunk I knew something wasn't right. My escape tactic was that I needed to throw up, car door wouldn't open from the inside and the windows couldn't be rolled down. So the driver rolls down the window, I open the door from the outside and I get out immediately and bailed with my friend.
That's a good idea to escape a car ... the vomit strategy. Duly noted. Cheers.
The “puke trick” works basically anywhere, especially at concerts. My dad taught it to me, if there’s a huge crowd of people and you’re trying to get out quickly, just act like you’re gonna throw up and it’s like Moses parting the Red Sea! 😂
oh boy I spent a night with a female limo driver I will never forget. She told me she was cheaper than a cab. Haha. She lied but she took me from one bar to another and got drunk with me and showed me places in Vegas' underbelly I will never forget.
And avoid those holes in the bathroom stall walls!
@@Ease54why avoid glory holes? On all the websites I've been too online, there's always a really sexy girl ready to please you on the other side of the hole. 🤔
This doesn't just happen with prostitutes. A "regular" girl in Vegas can cause any of the same scenarios. Avoid women entirely in Vegas.
Like the show girls on the strip scam many people just taking pictures with them
the later, avoid women entirely
Always remember… If she’s into you, it’s a scam!!! 😂
The cure for that is to negotiate the price of the photo first. It's a lot cheaper than they will charge you if you talk price after the photo is taken.
just go to fucking thailand instead. it'll end up being way cheaper. fuck all of this
I think it's great that your doing this for tourists. Nicely done
He has dabbled
You just gave me a great idea for a reverse uno play.
1) Meet girl
2) Go to room
3) Insist she call her pimp & have him come to your room. Tell him the door is open
4) Wait for him to enter & ambush him
5) Clean him out
6) Call the cops & report a home invasion (the laws are the same in a hotel)
7) Claim they attempted to steal your money but you actually have the pimps money
8) Send them on their way to jail while you walk away with profits

Maybe people that utilize their services shouldn't trust themselves, too.

@@1990758 WOW!!! You must have guts, or be extremely tolerant of heat. Because a friend and I went to Vegas back in AUGUST of 2004 or 2005, and the heat was only bearable because of the air conditioning provided....Which made me wonder WHAT was really supplying so much power to light and "chill" the city back then....I find it very difficult to believe that ONLY the Hoover Dam was supplying the city with that much power as I was told by a number of people. Even back then, Las Vegas was a BIG city, and I find it difficult to believe that a dam built in the 1930's was advanced enough to supply the Vegas of the year 2004 or 2005!!

Never think you just got lucky when she looks right in your eyes and smiles.Have a plan of where you want to go and stick to that plan. I spend a lot of time making distance between me and other people trying to stay with me. If I don't know you, I don't want you around me. And it takes years to know me, not hours.Never ever let a stranger buy you drinks or food especially at a place you mistakenly let them get you to go too. If the bartender and this person look chummy,they could be running a scam. Frankly, be smart and protect yourself at all times. Especially in a place you don't know. There are threats in any city. At least,where you live, you know where those threats are. Here, you are just meat for the grinder.
It’s not that serious, if you’re forcing people to take years to know you. You’re only hurting yourself and pushing yourself towards a sad, isolated life

Great video. I lived in Las Vegas for about 5 years and more than once I had to contact security to get someone supposedly "Drunk" get back to their room. Unfortunately this often ended up causing them even more grief because Big Properties do not simply get people to their room anymore. They have EMS pick them up and bring them to the Hospital ER due to an incident that happened with a brittle diabetic. ER Visit will cost you a minimum of $5000.

When I cut through the back neighborhood going west behind the stratosphere there was a man getting roughed up by 2 other men. It looked totally staged. Because they were mainly hitting his body but nothing looked like it would really hurt because the intent wasn’t there. It seemed as though they were waiting for me to intervene for their chance to rob me. But I laughed and keep walking while at the same time making sure I was aware of my surroundings. The 2 guys eventually left. Don’t know if they took anything. The guy who was getting roughed up was trying to make it look like he was a victim but I wasn’t falling for it. Needless to say learn how to read the body language of people. Not just the actions. It can help keep you out of trouble.
What if that guy died or something lol. Good on you though, the scams like that make it rough for people actually getting robbed
You'd think every now and then one of those guys would get capped. That seems like a super high risk, low reward crime.
@@mpforeverunlimited Who cares? Not his problem.
You're so mean what an ass let a guy get beat up I'm Sky Champion on Powamoto and we would've taken all three down 🤟
Just do what everyone else does. Ignore it and keep walking. Lol
None of these are “scams”, it’s just assault and robbery lol.
Yeah, a scam is when you pay her and she says “i have to pee first” and then climbs out if the window. Lol. Not when a guy sticks a gun in your face.
Haha you're not wrong, I think scam is the wrong word, this is just straight up getting robbed.
@@Dziaji Unless you pay her, 'she' turns out to be the guy that sticks a gun in your face taking your watch, and climbs out of the window - then you're double-scammed 🤣

Sounds like actual sex never happens.

Enjoyed the Luxor, safe and sound!
Having lived here in Las Vegas the last 30 years and known a lot of people who have worked on the Strip, all the scams you mention are spot on from everything I have heard. Always watch out for pickpockets (men or women) usually working as a team especially around big events in Las Vegas like fights, etc. Also, it is amazing to me how many tourists that come here think that prostitution is legal all over Nevada and are surprised to find out it is not in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is a shit show now
Haha, lived her the past 40 years and I wonder why people even come to this place. Over priced and not as fun as people think.
@@YesYourRight pretty lights
@@YesYourRight When I think of Vegas I think of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Oceans 11 and I don't want the truth to replace the fantasy.
@@YesYourRight I've lived there on and off three times since 84 and I always wondered the same thing. Half the phone book is that industry, I had a friend use to come over and drink beer in my front yard and he always had a cutie hanging on him. I was in court one time and this girl was fined $160 and the judge asked the number of offenses and the court answered six! BTW, the number of the room is always known because there is someone at the building for protection. I saw Pepcon up close and personal, my favorite past time was exploring mine shafts. I recall when the deserts were full of waist, like Cheyenne rd.
I got screwed at every turn in Las Vegas on pricing - and none of that was from a prostitute.
A friend of mine got mugged in Atlantic city. He said the taxi driver that took him to the police station was a worse thief than the mugger.
For a sec i thought your name was Jamie Lannister 😁
Last time I was there is was like $25 for a hamburger and fries and nothing else was open. Add to that the ridiculous $45 resort fee they add on to the room. 20 years ago I worked in Vegas often... At Xmas time the Palace Station had tower rooms for $9... and $5 for employees. Whisky Petes had $16 room for CDL truckers...
@@thomasjakobsen9208 That's fookin Jamie Lanister.

Hi Rhea! Yes, you have! You've been around for awhile. Thank you for being so supportive 😊
First scam starts at 3:25
I use to want to go visit Vegas when I was in my 20s but now years later, I realize I'd rather stay AWAY from places with crime and gangs like this.
Remember, vegas is called, SIN City for a reason!!!!
Fact: Stay away from any city with a Democratic mayor
Yup
Dear Dude: What a good and accurate report you gave here. Keep up the good work! The facts you present about Las Vegas remind me of why I've never visited nor have a real and burning desire to.
If you have never been to Las Vegas how do you know it's good and accurate?
@@Chris-fq4xz From personally knowing people who currently live there. Also the city's reputation for catering to evil inclinations is known world wide. Reading definitely helps too.
Jacob,love your content! Insight for tourist to come to Vegas and not lose their life or money. Thank you! Keep it up!
Great Educational Videos this Man provides
I salute you bro this will be helpful for any tourist and there's probably ppl wishing this videos was made years ago 🤣
Working on the strip I noticed the casinos kind of turn a blind eye to this activity but some security friends told the same kind of stories. When a young girl would come up to me all flirty, I would just say I’m local, they spin around so fast and gone.
No doubt.ive worked in casinos on strip most my life and they want nothing to do with locals.
When I was driving truck there would be a occasional lot lizard knocking on the door....I would just tell them, ""Quiet....If you wake my wife up, she's gonna be pissed!""
They promptly beat feet every time.
Another thing: Don't offend or abuse these women. They have a mean streak. A guy told me a story about the time he cussed out a hooker. The next morning he had a bunch of flat tires and had to call a tire service truck to get them aired up, She had pulled the valve stems out of the valve cores. She also tore the ribbon seal off his trailer. That meant he had to deliver a un-sealed load and the customer made him piece-count the load....... Don't play with these women but be polite about it.
IF you are a trucker, NEVER LET ANYONE into your cab. The screwin'' yer lookin'' for ain''t nuthin'' like the screwin'' you''ll get!
Thanks for the defense tip, I'm gonna use the "I'm a Local" line from now on whenever I'm approached by a stranger woman in Las Vegas.
Just say "no thank you..I'm gay"
LOCAL !!! Got IT !!!!
I walked that area DURING THE DAY, to get to the Pinball Hall of Fame, 3 weeks ago! I like how Strip hotels use the keycards not only to get to the elevator area but to get the elevator to function. As always, this was a great and informative video. They should have you on a loop on the in-room hotel TVs!
But I noticed the security is not at the elevator doing like 1 o'clock 2 o'clock 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
INFORMATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL!
I'm 70 years old. I don't think I'll ever visit Vegas. Too late for me. You go and have fun, you youth filled legends.
No never too late..
life just beginning for you sweetie. ❤️
Vegas is no fun.
I had my fun 1970s stationed in West Germany 🇩🇪/ even at Fort sill, ( Lawton, oklahoma ) w the hookers. Times are different now. These hookers are more scandalous nowadays ☠️💃👀
You're in Pattaya aren't you, you badass.
They have very good accessibility for older folks. Everything has ramps and elevators. Venetian, Mirage and Caesar's is nice. Haven't been in a while. Don't go hunting up drugs and hookers or go off-strip. Take in a show or two (get tix before you get there). And some food. The food is amazing. If you're not a degenerate gambler and want to bet some games it's really not a bad weekend. I was mostly at the caesar's sportsbook and a lot of the people were 60+. And the servers came around regularly because people tipped.
I lived in Vegas for 3 years, and I'll say my street smarts went up exponentially during that period. Nearly any stranger could have a bad agenda. I kept to myself, did my work, and made sure I never made myself too vulnerable to be robbed. I lived in the bad areas, but I kept my car empty and my doors always locked. I never held much cash in my wallet. If I won a big sports bet, I didn't make it known.
How much did you lose?
Daric who ya like for Superbowl 23?
If you're fortunate enough to come into money, you're wise to keep it to yourself. Your friends don't need to know.
To the guys who flash and flaunt they made themselves to stand out so they deserve what's coming next. They want to be a showoff, the better be able to take it as well
Ja
This man’s speaking from 1st hand experience 👏
I saw several girls on the side of the street... I stopped my car to ask directions to the freeway... They disagreed about the best route... And concluded by saying "Listen... If you go that way it's uncertain... If you come with us, we know what's going to happen..."
I thought the worst worst scenario would be like you end up drugged and robbed becoming an unwilling organ donor.
Naw that was in Scooby-Doo movie

Jake doing all the tough research and putting in the work. 😃
What could I've been watching that triggered this video recommendation... watched til the end anyway.
I was in Vegas during the late 80's, and was warned by a resident to avoid special "girly bars", which were nondescript places that offered female company in a bar-like atmosphere. They required you to buy drinks for yourself and the girls, and ran a tab on your credit card. Of course the drink prices were over-inflated, and they would continue to place charges on your card as long as they could keep you there. The guy told me one was lucky to escape with no less that $1000 or more charged to your card. If you complained, they had bouncers that would give you a hard time. It was basically coerced robbery from the moment you walked in the door. There were dozens of ads in the Yellow Pages for these places.
I would have brought a couple hundred in cash and left the card at the hotel 😂
Going into a bar with a credit card is really stupid. Get the amount of cash you may want to spend that evening and leave the card somewhere safe.
@@srccde most people have credit cards on them
@@srccde or get a prepaid debit card for when you feel like visiting such shady establishments.
@@dingdang3324 Obviously, but AFAIK they're not glued onto your body. Therefore, you can leave them in a safe instead of carrying them right into the heart of shady establishments.
What a very thorough information you provided. You're the only one on UA-cam who talks straight facts. I've been here in Vegas for 3 months now on a medical travel assignment staying at a lodging place off strip just 8 minutes away and it's been amazing. So far, I have not witnessed anything dangerous.
Glad to enjoyed it trigun!
Where are you staying?
@@kassgem what is your room number? lol.....
@@redtops5160 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Avoid trouble..oh and illegal stuff you'll be ok.
It's comical really, I've lived in the Downtown area forever it seems, at least over 10 years now. Being a native Nevadan it never fails to make me shake my head if I find myself wandering around the Fremont St. Experience and I see 2 or 3 girls approach a guy. Just out of the blue. They couldn't be more obvious. They normally work in pairs though as I've had them approach me. The 1st thing they love to ask? "So where you from?" The very second I say "I'm a local." they become annoyed and wander off. They very much only like to prey on the Tourists.
Yes it’s the same all around the world, where are you from? In third world countries they can be the hardest to shake because they’re more desperate. Especially in Bali but I figured out the quickest way to ditch them if you’re tired and done of their shit. Before they get close enough to even talk to you hold your hands out to each side and say “I have no money!” It ends it right then and there!
I had a few approach me at casinos. Now I lived temporarily in Vegas since I was working as a roofer for a federal contractor in Nellis AFB and so our bosses ended up renting us some apartments. So every other weekend we went out to the Strip. And that's where I would have women, mostly Asian women try to start chit chat with me while I played slots. Now a high school friend of ours who was already living in Vegas warned us before hand that these women were either hookers who could also be thieves or even worse, undercover cops. It didn't help that I was 20 so for the first few weeks I was already breaking the law by gambling while underage. It came to the point where I stopped being nice and told them to piss off.
Besides, if you do want to hook up, it's not that hard. There's plenty of regular clubs, strip clubs, bars, etc. Plus unless they're a giga Chad, men inevitably pay for sex one way or another so you may end up buying a girl a drink or whatever and take her back to your place, which we did.
And of course, the aforementioned escorts, which you can contact via the cards that they give out at the Strip. And you do see them with rich old farts riding in Vipers and Ferraris looking miserable but hey, they're probably making at least $1k that night
Lol; simple solution: don’t be a scumbag who uses prostitutes! Better yet, don’t be a scumbag who drinks and gambles, and wastes his life in Vegas!
"Local" works at the strip clubs too. Las Vegan since 1994.
Why would you possibly go to Bali ?
I went to LV in 2018. Stayed for six days and somehow, as a vulnerable person with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorders, I physically survived it.
I was there to play in the US Open 10-Ball chanpionship and it was a difficult time.
Thankfully, I was never approached by any of these scammers. I dont know whether that is because I only stayed at the Luxor and moved between Mandalay Bay/Luxor/Excalibur/MGM Grand or not, but even though I was constantly on guard, I was surprised that I wasnt in any tough spots.
Who knows...maybe it was my being on guard that saved me from people trying to acam in first place.
One thing Ill say is that upon returning to the UK, it took me a week to readjust to reality. People who havent been to LV cannot comprehend the size and scale of the place.
I wouldn't ever want to go back there. The anxiety I had from constantly being on guard was horrible. Its strictly just Majorca from now on, or a remote location in the English countryside where nobody is out to scam you.
this is the type of quality content we need
Yes, I get tired of all the science, philosophy and history etc content; we need stuff that's more down to earth.
Thanks for the awareness, never visited Vegas but it's definitely on the list! "hooking up" with someone on holiday is not something that really interests me though luckily. Main takeaway from this vid for me is that if the people i'm out there with are stopped by another group on the street for some "polite conversation" to keep my hands in my pockets at the very least
I worked the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) for 10 years in a row. There were about 100 people on our team who went to Vegas for the show every January. Most people on the team were early 20s to early 30s. We had to go over a lot of these points with people nearly every year.
attending this year! wild how different vegas can be when you avoid degeneracy.
Great video and I learned some valuable info! I am so very glad I came across this Video !
So it's like Clark Griswold said in Vegas Vacation , when Rusty says "I heard prostitution is legal there!" And he responds "Not Within The City Limits!" Lol.
I went to Vegas when I turned 21 and we were staying at the RIO during the WSOP.. One evening me and two friends went to Caesars then at about 3 or 4 AM we left. We were drunk and flagged a taxi. The taxi driver kept asking if we wanted to go get up with some girls ( I didn't really want to but I didn't want to be "that guy" while my other two friends were all for it, but I should've let them go and just went back to my hotel). It's clear that taxi drivers and these establishments are in cohoots. We get to the place and it is the absolute hood. We walk in which is $40 to get in the door. They brought out the girls and you pick one then go to a room (that's another $200). Now, I feel really awkward and just kinda sat there talking to her. because I felt guilty I dunno, that's just not my thing. Then here it comes, more money. I realize it's not gonna end so I just leave. I asked the dude if I could just wait on my friends but being the sleeziest person I've ever met in my life (appearance and personality) he wouldn't let me so I left. I walked out and and stood at the street praying for another cab to come by. A huge dude walks out of the same place I was just in and stares me down. There were sketchy ass people walking around everywhere and I just knew some bad shit was about to happen. Luckily a cab pulled up and I flagged him down like my life depended on it- which it probably did. I made it back to the hotel and a couple hours later my two friends did as well. They both spent over 1k and didn't get more than a well lotioned foot rub. My point here is to watch out for the cabbies cause they're as sleezy as some of the pimps.
Strip joints pay bounty to cabbies to bring visitors to them. A sleazy cabbie can make an extra $100 with 4 guys looking for a good time which they will regret later.
This happened to me at the Olympic garden back in the day, I saw a girl put something in my drink, I calmly acted like I was slightly drugged then left, Before I left I switched drinks so she probably had a bad night lol 😂
Dude!! I remember Olympic Gardens! OG! Man fun times we had.
Haaaaa,nice job!
You should have called the cops on her.
U made Bill Cosby get her
Words of wisdom right here, guys. Always be aware.
Thank you Jacob! Really good safety information!
This is a good 'post-it note' message to carry with you.
Don't forget the basics, have a buddy system when you can... remember, they may have other intentions.
let's have a lot of fun, anywhere... and be safe.
I've traveled around the world with the military and do find these tips useful. Our chain of command always tells us to stay away from what they call red light districts. And we're always educated for awareness.
cool my dad fought in ww2 traveled the world to was at pearl and first ship into Japan was put on duty to collect guns and he went out of bounds on the out side of were the nuke went off to find some Kesha girls with a Budy , but to many Japanese was talking at them they decided to back , but one of his buddies got rolled in San Francisco
And were did you go right to the red light district, lol
Back in 2007 Tijuana was full of marines and navy.
Interesting. Every soldier/airmen I knew enjoyed every red light from the Netherlands to Italy 😂💪. Good times. 4 floors of who*** in Frankfurt. Good times when stuck at rammstien 🤘
I've never been to Las Vegas and wasn't aware of the scams.
Thank you Patrick Antonius
Pro tip . If you are in Vegas ,and plan on boozing heavily ,bring just enough cash for the night and an ID. That way you don't lose a watch,credit cards ,etc
I'd get drunk in my room IF i was in scam vegas..
Unless your room gets robbed which happens.
prime rule of safety for a tourist is don't act like a tourist.
when outside,
- don't wear or carry anything flashy
- be discreet and don't draw attention to yourself
- blend in as much as possible
- always be alert and aware of your surroundings
- minimal or no alcohol/weed consumption
- regard everyone with suspicion specially the overly friendly locals
Sounds like a blast !
(SARCASM)
I’d rather not go lol
True, I've never visited LV or Nevada. I've read & heard mixed things. Any smart travel tips are good in most US areas not just Las Vegas or NV.
sounds boring
...and these are suggestions for people going to Vegas? 😅
I’m smoking that pack boss
I have a universal alarm system that works in Vegas or anywhere else....if a woman is interested in me it's a scam.
The End
That's the "Know Your Number" rule. Guys, be honest with yourself. If you're a pudgy 5 or 6 and a smokin' hot 9 starts flirting and chatting you up then you're about to lose your wallet or, maybe a kidney.

I remember when my brother was robbed in Vegas. Him and his buddy her at the strip club and a stripper walked up and asked him if he wanted a lap dance for $20. He politely declined and said no. She walked over to the bouncer and told him that she had given my brother a lap dance and that he refused to pay her. The bouncer came over and refused to let them leave until he gave her $20.
Something like that happened to my cousin but then he went back and shot the security and stripper. 😕
But he’s in Mexico now he’s an English teacher now lol 😂
@@luiscarlosgarcia9354 they made their bed and your cousin made them lie in it

200 to 300 for a lap dance?! No way!
@@kipdon did u ever went to the strip club? lol..its 2022..you lucky to get lap dance for 200-300..if you drunk they will steal your credit cards and you woke up with 2-3k bill
Honestly good information to put out. Keeping people informed and safe is better than pretending it doesn't happen.
Mad props on your ability to loudly narrate a video about how to buy a prostitute in a crowded city center. I could never do it.
Crowded? Hardly anyone was around. 🤷🏼♂️
He's saying not to try and buy a prostitute
Vegas kinda aint like that. Alot of empty places.
You idiots can’t appreciate a good joke? Shit was hilarious. SMH
"city center" lmao what city? it's just a giant theme park, and what center? it's a long street where most of it is in another "town" called paradise which is a cdp
Thanks for the video.
FINALLY! A truly educational UA-cam video!!
i always keep my wallet and phone in my front pockets. especially in touristy areas like Vegas.
Yes, there are skilled pick pockets there. Also, get a RFID wallet to prevent skimming!
I do this as well and freak out every time I reach for my wallet in my pack pocket and it is not there.
Perhaps I'll start doing that.
Having Velcro-lined pockets might be a good idea when visiting big cities.
Dog..in Vegas, you NEVERRRRRRR CARRY A WALLET!!!!! Just keep your cash, license/ID and cards in your front pocket
My wife's parents would go to Sin City every year. They knew how to stay safe. The stories they'd bring back about how people were so addicted to the gambling tables in the casinos, they'd actually put up the mortgages on their homes in the event they'd win. Nine times out of ten, they didn't win.
I'll never forget after a long night out walking back through the casino and passing by the locals at the slot machines. My Vegas friend told me they were trying to make their rent. A few literally were leaning forward with their heads against a paper cups against the machines while they were pulling. Like zombies barely awake.
I was at The Horseshoe Casino in 2022. A few young guys approached the roulette table I was at. Placed a $2,000 bet on black .. and *lost.* I think they took a collection from friends back home. At least $400 of it was in smaller bills.
But that one person who wins is what keeps them going.
@M0viLover I saw a lady playing for 60k a hand at blackjack. That was interesting
This is why I don't gamble.
Many thanks for your video and information.
I’ve been to Vegas. There was little to like. That, combined with all these dangers, and the prices for food and drink, makes me wonder why anyone goes there at all.
Vegas has become a 3rd world hell hole with Switzerland pricing.
Mostly trashy raider fans!..
Food for thought, in any city, in any situation.
Thank you!
When I was 4 years old my dad started taking me to the Mustang Brothel. We would go on Sunday afternoons about once a month. Back then the Mustang was in Wadsworth a few miles farther east than were the brothels are now. Prostitution was illegal in Washo county but not in Story county. I would sit on the ladies laps while my dad did business. He owned a drug store in Reno with a Revlon franchise so sold cosmetics and sundries to the sex workers. Both my mom and dad were for legalized prostitution for a bunch of reasons I didn't understand. Going out there was always fun because the girls smelled good and made a fuss over me. Reno was a great place to grow up in.
Suuuuuure... he was just there for "business." LOL just messin with ya
@@Bastikovski99 Wait a minute?....Maybe that's why my mom always sent me with him. After all these years I finally know. Thanks for helping me to understand. Lol

By business do you mean lady of the night business?
Man, you had the best dad ever.
I said hi to some French girl in Vegas, within a hour we were back in her room. We went to dinner after and walked down the strip and eventually parted ways to go to bed. Unexpected events are truly common in Vegas.
