The rented white sedan didn’t come with a remote door lock — I thought it a minor inconvenience at the time, but it turned out to be a nuisance finding the car in the gargantuan parking garages, and there are a lot of white sedans in Vegas.
I once mislaid a Renault in Paris and on another occasion, lost Daughter’s Explorer in the heart of Vancouver.
There is always a crush of people walking the Strip — young women pushing strollers and old men with walkers make their way past hawkers with LED T-shirts, street mimes, show promoters, casino promoters, a string of people handing out picture cards with phone numbers for escort services and exotic dancers, panhandlers, and official-looking people in dress pants and white shirts collecting for the (estimated 14,000) homeless in Las Vegas.

Mike Tyson might not be the boxing heavyweight champion of the world anymore, but he’s the champ of the comeback: he’s just finished his first one-man show in Las Vegas and he just launched an iPhone app. As he nurses his hopes to get his show onto Broadway, he’s also busy flying to Poland pimping energy drinks and telling overseas audiences during appearances about his lifelong goal: becoming a missionary.
Before her ill-fated talk show folded on Oprah’s network, Rosie O’Donnell had the boxer on as a guest, and later he helped her celebrate her 50th birthday and sang her “Happy Birthday.” After, she Tweeted: “u r quite lovely with such an open heart – ur family is beautiful – so r u – xxx see u in Vegas !!!”

… You look like you come from the planet Damn,” Smith’s Agent J tells the fish before attacking it with mustard-filled squirt bottles. They end up trading blows on a street as confused Chinatown residents look on. This is what happens when you flush fish down the toilet, Smith warns them.
“I am getting too old for this,” Smith tells Jones at one point. “I can’t even imagine how you feel.”
The franchise’s first film saw Jones’ straight-man veteran introduce Smith to the secretive government agency that fends off alien attacks and keeps immigrants from other planets hidden and in check.
In the latest installment, Smith has 24 hours to go back in time and save his partner and the world. Multiple spaceships hover menacingly in the sky.
In 1969, Josh Brolin portrays the younger Agent K. His co-workers include artist Andy Warhol, who tracks down aliens when he isn’t hosting glamorous parties with hippies and models.
Smith continues his snappy lines, warning Warhol that he isn’t above “pimp slapping” him.

Las Vegas Escorts: Nevada’s Legal Brothels Make Workers Feel Safer

notdaveelms — Tue, 08 May 2012 22:49:08 +0000

In legal brothels, employees report that they feel safe, are free to come and go, and are bound only by their contract. Of the brothel workers we surveyed, 84 per cent said that their job felt safe. Workers report that they felt safe largely because the police, employers and co-workers were there to protect them.
It is time we pay attention to the evidence and rethink our approach to this age-old profession.
Our research found that women came to the legal brothels from a wide variety of situations. Some were supplementing low paying service jobs. Some were escaping the hustle and danger illegal sex work. Some were looking for ways to supplement their erotic dancing or film careers.
Some had pimps. Most did not. One woman told us the brothel allowed her to sever ties with an abusive pimp. Most important, in all our research, we found no evidence of trafficking in the legal brothels.

Las Vegas Escorts: $581K study to research safety on Vegas Strip

notdaveelms — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:13:24 +0000

LAS VEGAS — Clark County elected officials cited Las Vegas Strip safety and image concerns as they agreed to funnel $581,000 in hotel room tax money into a three-month study of pedestrian congestion on sidewalks in the tourist corridor.
The County Commission last week called for the Resort Corridor Workgroup to recommend methods and laws to curb unregulated commercial activity in Nevada’s adult playground. The advisory panel includes law enforcement, casino and tourism representatives.
More police, additional closed-circuit television surveillance and a night court are among proposals being floated for the resort-lined 4-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard, along with a requirement that leafleteers, derisively termed “smut peddlers,” clean up discarded advertisements bearing telephone numbers and images of scantily clad female escorts.
Virginia Valentine, Nevada Resort Association president and former county manager, talked about letters from tourists calling a walk on the Strip “a horrible experience.” Valentine said the goal was to make the Strip a more enjoyable place to visit.

LAS VEGAS — County elected officials cited Las Vegas Strip safety and image concerns as they agreed to funnel $581,000 in hotel room tax money into a three-month study of pedestrian congestion on sidewalks in the tourist corridor.

… Handley then began pressuring Lynn on an almost daily basis, arguing . . . it was no big deal to engage in sex to make money, that she would lose her home and everything she had, which was true,” according to the complaint.
Lynn said she took a job at the Chicken Ranch in Nevada, where she became a “top booker,” required to sleep with up to 12 men in a single night.
Lynn and Handley wed in 1988, but soon divorced.
She says Handley should never have been allowed to open his franchise and that McDonald’s “failed to conduct a due diligence into the moral character of Handley when it sold franchises to him.”
She also says McDonald’s “failed to properly supervise and train Handley,” who she accuses of running his pimping operations out of the McDonald’s franchises he owned, according to the complaint.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) – The millions of students who take the SAT or ACT each year will have to submit photos of themselves when they sign up for the college entrance exams, under a host of new security measures announced Tuesday in the aftermath of a major cheating scandal on Long Island. The two companies that administer the tests, the College Board and ACT Inc., agreed to the precautions under public pressure brought to bear by Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, who is overseeing the investigation. The measures take effect in the fall.
Strauss-Kahn’s French lawyers: Lust isn’t a crime
PARIS (AP) – Dominique Strauss-Kahn had sex with women who weren’t his wife, participated in orgies and may have even paid for prostitutes, his own lawyers say. But they deny he did anything to deserve the pimping charges he’s facing in France. It’s been quite a week for the former International Monetary Fund chief, who a year ago was seen as the most likely person to become France’s next president. His political career is now on ice and his bedroom behavior has become public knowledge on both sides of the Atlantic.

Las Vegas Escorts: I-Team: IRS and Local Police Team Up to Follow the Money in Las Vegas

notdaveelms — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 03:37:08 +0000

Not unlike their predecessors, IRS Special Agent in Charge Paul Camacho and his team target some of southern Nevada’s most wanted much the same way. They work with other federal, state and local law enforcement to follow the money.
“What we’re trying to do is empower law enforcement. We want to magnify their ability to go after criminal activity. We’re kind of like Alfred giving Batman a new tool to put on his belt. We’re playing the supportive role,” Camacho said.
Among the agency’s first efforts was a partnership with Metro’s Vice Division to target pimps like Micah Duncan who live lavishly off the unreported earnings of their working girls. Even money made illegally is subject to taxes.
“The pimps expect Metro to be there, but they don’t expect the IRS to be standing side-by-side,” said Metro Lt. Karen Hughes.
