    ah, memories...
    bg: Back in the early 90's I worked at a winchells donuts about a half a mile from Circus Circus on the strip heading towards Charleston ave. For those not familiar with that area, it was NOT a place to be out after dark unless you were right ON the strip, and even then it was iffy (most of the local gangs new to stay from tourists, or LV metro would go all medieval on them in a HARSH way)
    This in mind, most of the partons I got were either locals, people driving between Fremont Street and the main Strip, or patrons of the Olympic Gardens, the strip club next door.
    Today will be my collections of my favorite questions and responses from lost tourists
    "Are you SURE there's no casino here?"

    "What do you mean I can't pay for my donuts with a casino chip?!"

    "Do you know any..umm...good escort services?"

    "Think they'll they'll take chips next door?"

    "The casinos are the OTHER way? What do I do NOW?"

    "Blarghhhhhhhh" Note: some of them were REALLY drunk. and luckily we had good heavy duty cleaners for around the grease fryer

    "Hey man, can I sleep in here while you close up?" got this a lot from local homeless, too. Luckily I was allowed to tell them (the homeless) to fuck off out of my store if there were no actual patrons about. One complained to my manager and her replied "Well? You're still here, and he told you to fuck off" I LOVED this manager. Others told me I'd be fired if I used foul language to the drunken fucks, and I was the sad.
    Extra note: I NEVER told a tourist to fuck off, even if I wanted to. Which makes me sad...I hated tourists.

    And my favorite time of the day? When I worked nights and some of the girls came over from next door to get their sugar fix. Much leggy bounciness there

    O_O the mind boggles with the first one.

    And as for the second one....yeah buddy, go and ask the security guard where on earth you need to get some. Why on Earth you came from god knows where, purely to meet with some hookers, is beyond me.

      There are plenty of other people in Vegas who will be happy to recommend an escort service to you. Trust me on this.

      Of course, it probably won't be all that great of one.

        Go up and down "The Strip" and you'll have hundreds of people trying to give you cards offering those services.

        Any wonder why I don't like "The Strip" when I go to Vegas (like in 4 months)?

          At least he didn't combine the two and ask where he could get a good escort that would be willing to be paid in casino chips, or donuts...

            At least you weren't asked for donuts with special sugar... or worse a baggie of special sugar.

              When I worked as a bartender here in Vegas, I had a few I'd recommend out. It was a question I got more often than people would believe. I'd even get the ones looking for the brothels in the next county over.

              Customer: <looks left>
              Customer: <Looks right>
              Customer: <whispers> Hey buddy! Do you know where the <insert name of brothel> is?

                My husband and I made a game on our honeymoon to see how many of those we could collect. We thought we might try to make a porno Magic game out of them.

                It was pretty funny, when we're walking down the Strip. They'd reach ACROSS me to hand one to him, and I'd grab it and say "Thanks!" Or, I'd hand them the the last card I'd taken, which really confused them.

                  That reminds me of a comic over at Real Life Comics. I think about doing it every time I'm walking down the strip.

                  It's not that hard to avoid them. Just act like you are looking at the hotels around you and they give up easier. It's when you make eye contact that they get pushy.

                    That's what I do when I decide to walk the strip for a bit. I just pretend they aren't there.

                      I worked for a short while at a news and gifts stand inside McCarran Airport. There was a customer once who tried to pay with casino chips. Dumbass was trying to convince me that chips could be used anywhere in Vegas.

                      I also worked for a couple of years at the box office of a resort that had a topless revue (showgirls with sequins and big feathered headdresses). I had a foreign guy call on the phone once who asked if we had "go-go" dancers. I said no, he'd have to go to a strip club for that. He didn't understand, but I couldn't think of any other way to explain it, so eventually just told him to ask a taxi to bring him to the go-go dancers.

                      Then there was the lady who was trying to buy tickets and got upset that all guests had to be over the age of 18 to see the show, because it was topless, and she wanted to bring her 14 year old son. No, we won't let him in, even if his parents say it's ok. The law says it's not! Then she snottily said, "But prostitution is legal in Nevada." What that had to do with it, I don't know. Maybe she thought the state had no morals at all? I kind of wanted to tell her he'd have to be 18 for that as well.

                        I can't remember his name, but there was a comedian who referred to those as "hooker trading cards." I thought that was hilarious.

                          well it IS legal in Nevada. Just not inside Vegas. Not saying it's not there but it's perhaps a little more on the down-low.

                            Not just Vegas, but it's illegal in the whole of Clark County.

                              NO! I LOVE the strip! Best people watching territory I have ever been to! I suppose it would get old real fast if I lived/worked there but great for a short vacation (I can’t take more than about 4 days of Vegas at a time.
                              If you’re heading out and want to avoid the strip I recommend the Neon Boneyard tour. Book it early, they don’t do walk-ins or same day bookings.

                              Eh, I'd make eye contact and even talk to them. I just wouldn't take anything. Some of them would try to put it in my hand anyway but I would just let it fall to the ground rather than grasping it. Never did have anyone try to stuff one in my pocket.
                              You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.
