Carson City Prostitutes Stand Up for Paul Donating Their Tips

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) — A poker player helped rent a billboard, a Mormon spreads the word at root beer socials and prostitutes at a famous brothel turn tricks and donate their customers’ tips — all for Ron Paul.
The 76-year-old, 12-term Texas Republican congressman is banking on a big showing at the Feb. 4 Nevada caucuses to boost his third presidential primary bid. His message of personal liberty, states’ rights and low taxes resonates with voters in the state, where prostitution is legal, gambling is widespread and the foreclosure rate has been the highest in the nation for five years, according to RealtyTrac.

At the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel near Carson City featured in HBO’s “Cathouse” series, the most scantily- clad caucus of all was held two weeks ago.

Good for Vegas: Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, have given the Gingrich campaign $10 million. (Technically, Adelson gave the money to one of Newt’s PACs, but still …) So, if Gingrich gets elected, he’ll probably think twice before signing any anti-gaming legislation. (Sorry kids, but that’s how politics works.) And at the federal level, what’s good for Adelson is good for Wynn, Kerkorian and the rest of us.
Bad for Vegas: Newt’s not a fan of welfare. Regardless of how you feel about wealth distribution, you can’t deny that a lot of Las Vegans benefit from it, especially in our current economic climate. (Have you seen our unemployment numbers?) Yes, “putting people back to work” is a noble goal, but it’s also a political euphemism for “cutting off welfare checks.”
Ron Paul
Good for Vegas: If Las Vegas were to ever decriminalize prostitution, marijuana possession or currently illegal forms of wagering, and if Ron Paul were president, we wouldn’t have to worry about the federal government flying in and ruining our fun. We’re a libertarian city at heart, and Ron Paul’s a libertarian guy.

Up and into outfit number one, a Dynasty-inspired business look. K gives me a blowout. I trot over to the Sexpo to check out adult novelties. Entering the adult toy fair, I instantly locate some lesbians and head over to check out the dildos they are wielding. I stroll through the aisles and happen upon a booth where a bevy of beauties is hocking a breath mint strip that masks the taste of vagina. Does it really need masking? I hold countless vibrators in my hands in all sizes and colors, including one that is shaped like a Siamese cat.
Thursday, Jan. 19:
My first day at the booth for my DVD distributors, Girlfriends Films. As I find my way to the booth, I pass by at least six stripper poles and three full-on beds — all occupied, of course. As you would expect, the walls are covered with giant posters of women with giant breasts. Thursday is mostly a trade day, so I do tons of interviews with the media, and during downtime I chat with the Girlfriends contract stars who are also working the booth.

… Nevada’s got the highest unemployment. The most bankruptcies. It’s got the worst everything,” said Ralph McMullen, a state GOP leader. “Obama’s not going to get the free ride he got last time.”
Mitt Romney won’t get a free ride in Nevada, either, though as the race shifts to the Nevada caucuses Saturday, he’s a safe bet. He won here handily in 2008 with 51 percent and since then has spent more time in Nevada than all rivals combined, stumping for the governor and others along the way.
“Our team’s been focused for months. We’ve really never lost sight of the prize,” said Romney’s Nevada strategist, Ryan Erwin.
But U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas — a distant second here in 2008 — has a strong ground game, too. And he’s sure to find traction in Nevada’s leave-me-be culture of legal prostitution and quickie divorces.

LAS VEGAS – With booze, gambling, and strip clubs, Las Vegas is probably the only city in America that can get away with being a popular Spring Break destination without a beach.
“We have some of the best pools in the world, so you know when you compare our pools to some of the beaches around, I think it’s really not a comparison as far as the amenities that we offer,” said Chris Hoag with travel site Tripres.com.
Not only is Las Vegas becoming more popular for Spring Break, it’s also becoming trashier. In fact, Coed Magazine puts Las Vegas at the top of its Trashiest Spring Break Destinations list. 
Hoag welcomes the ranking.

Coed Magazine considered several features that could make a place trashy, including strip clubs, liquor stores, and tattoo parlors.

The exchange started back in early January when Review-Journal columnist Adam Hill took a few shots at Bakersfield, something Bakosphere was eager to highlight.
Bakersfield Observed blogger and Bakersfield Californian columnist Richard Beene took it from there, taking a few shots at Hill’s “boorish rant.”
Hill recently responded in his Leftovers column with a post titled “Bakersfield retort short on humor.”
“We at Leftovers aren’t so much hurt as we are disappointed” Beene didn’t capitalize on Vegas’ shortcomings.
“Here, after all, was a golden opportunity to play into the Las Vegas stereotypes — hookers on every corner, seniors blowing their Social Security checks at penny slot machines, a surrounding desert filled with people who, ahem, ‘disappeared.’
“We aren’t a difficult target.”
(In fact, our Bakosphere commenters gave Hill exactly what he asked for, amending our original post with their own slaps at Sin City’s prostitutes, sex advertising, crime rate and more).

Auto auction just a sad metal meat market
David Booth, National Post · Jan. 27, 2012 | Last Updated: Jan. 27, 2012 3:13 AM ET
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. – I am not sure the good folks at Barrett-Jackson will appreciate the association, but, in person, the world’s most famous car auction feels a lot like the Moonlite BunnyRanch brothel that was forced into our hotel room TVs by HBO’s Cathouse: The Series. Oh, for sure, the Barrett-Jackson playground literally dwarfs the BunnyRanch, which always looks as if it is a bunch of double-wides thrown together. And, certainly, the money changing hands at Barrett-Jackson is off the charts; the purported US$100-million that customers plunked down for their lead sleds would require the girls at Las Vegas’s Ranch to work some serious overtime.

eth Raymer, a gorgeous, effervescent woman of 35, is sipping whiskey with me in the basement of Park City’s Bing Bar at two o’clock on Saturday afternoon. Her odd, circuitous path to the Sundance Film Festival began, she explains in a high, girlish voice, when she quit her job as a stripper in her hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida, and moved to Las Vegas, hoping to land work as a cocktail waitress. Instead, she soon found herself in the employ of an eccentric sports gambler known as Dink, a master at spotting advantageous betting lines. Whether it was college basketball or horse racing or the National Spelling Bee Championships, Dink always seemed to know which underdogs would nose their way to victory and which favorites would crash and burn. With her winning personality and a head for numbers, Beth was an ideal sidekick.
