Las Vegas Massage Parlors: IRS investigates businesses paying extortion to cab and limo drivers

City Council members and County Commissioners have turned a deaf ear to complaints as have state Taxi Cab Authority members, and state Transportation Administrators. It’s as if the transportation company owners—who are well known for their generosity around political campaign time—don’t want the practice to end.
Malfeasance is the proper word that describes the lack of action being taken by government officials.
Since 2007, the bounty was raised to $100 per passenger. This occurred when casino bosses learned that their front doors were being used to solicit hotel patrons to strip clubs and other businesses that pay bribes. They demanded their cut.
In the meantime, casino owners are still in the dark about the practice and have not investigated, though their own casino bosses are now extorting their hotel’s door men.
Targeted businesses include swinger’s clubs, gun stores that rent machine guns for target practice, escort services, massage parlors, restaurants, divorce attorneys, flower shops, tux and bridal gown rental stores, wedding chapels, check cashing services, and of course, strip clubs.
