Las Vegas Police Officer Describes the Dark Side of S*x Work

in vegas yeah you run across uh you know everybody's there to have the craziest
time
yes right everybody's there to have you know bonkers times and i'm sure and
there's tons of
like uh prostitution sex work um girls who were just partying for money i mean
there's everything
there the prostitution on vegas is just off the meter is it a lot of people
think that it's legal
in vegas it's not legal in vegas it's legal a little bit north in nye county
you can go to the
there's a chicken ranch and there's other places that people can go um but in
vegas it's illegal
it's a misdemeanor but it's it's still illegal but inside the clubs inside the
um casinos i mean
there's tons of girls who are working and most of them um not most of them a
lot of them work for
pimps oh they do a lot of them do what's that kind of connection would you see
that sometimes like does
the pimp come and drop them off does the pimp put them does he like uber pull
them or whatever like
how do they get the hook the women down to the strip or whatever is the pimp
down there so it's
there's a thing well pimps a lot of times up from a pimp perspective they they
have a stable of women
and they'll go from place to place to place like they'll go to miami and bring
their girls to miami
to work they'll bring their girls to um you know new york or vegas or whatever
and there's and these
girls are called i don't like the terminology but they're called carpet holes
or holes that actually work
inside of casinos and they'll walk inside the hole inside the casino on the
carpet and they'll go make
their money come back and give it to the pimp then you have the lower level
prostitutes which are the
ones that work the tracks and a track is a place where it's known for prostitution
and vegas and every
other major city has tracks and lower level pimps will drop their girls off on
the tracks and then
they'll walk the track and make their money then you have the ones that are the
call girls who work out of
the books and they're the most high level females that a person can interact
with the track the
people who drops them off of the tracks what kind of v what kind of vehicles do
pimps drive do they
still drive like these crazy classy cars or they have a van like so you know i'm
still i'm retired so
now it may have changed but i i can tell you that in the time when i was uh
working those their cars
stood out it wasn't like the 1970s pimp mobile type vehicles um but you would
see the nicer you know
escalades or whatever types of vehicles but you could we would know because i
mean if you're on a
boulder highway which is a really really kind of seedy area especially where
the track is by five
points boulder highway it's called it's called boulder highway five points yeah
because it's five
points of the city intersect at that location and that's a track it's still a
track okay let's see
that boulder highway five points yeah because when i sometimes if i go i'll
drive just to see what
places are still popping yeah sure brother and a lot of the pimps are they uh
what types of guys are
they black men are they asian men black man it is black males are mostly pimps
so that's more it's a
black yes right black culture thing it is you didn't know that i've seen i've
thought that because uh the
pimps that i've met the pimps that i've met i've only maybe met three pimps but
two and a half of them
or one of them was mixed but two of them were full or potentially full black
but even in rap culture
you can hear people talk about pimps culture oh yeah so you so it's yeah it's
like very it's very
clear that that's a subculture of i just didn't know if it was also chinese or
russian type of thing
you know do you see a lot of that vietnamese stuff no not in my career i didn't
see that but
in new york i know that you know the russians have a lock on a lot of different
vices in new york
that didn't really translate into vegas as much yeah at a certain point do you
let the um
women trick do you let them do whatever they got to do out there like i mean
what do you kind of you
just want to make sure they're safe at a certain point if you know the crime is
going to go on
right if it's a kind of a fluid crime that happens regularly is there more of a
idea like okay we just
want this to happen safely or is it more of an idea of like we want to stop
this so it's a very good
question so there's only so much you could do right so the primary primary um
primary
responsibility for a patrol officer is to respond to calls for service so i'm
going to speak to when
i was a patrol officer and i'm talking about prostitution right for prostitution
so i mean you
see two or three prostitutes walking up and down the street i mean you can only
stop one but most of
the time they would if they sold a patrol car they would just keep walking and
if i hung out in the area
long enough they would realize that no trick is going to stop and and pick them
up so you could
affect it like that but then you get a call for service and then you got to
leave and then they're
going to be back doing exactly what they want to do is it was it a crime that i
was really super
concerned about no it wasn't but it looks bad when i'm part of the responsible
party of keeping that
area safe and you know if you have a prostitution situation going on either
something else is going to
occur you know connected to that there's either she's going to get beat up or
she's going to steal
his money a lot of times they would do that to guys if they felt like they
could take their money
because they weren't the guy wouldn't report it to the police that would happen
for low level for
people who wanted to buy drugs too you would get these kids from the midwest to
come there oh they're
in vegas okay we go down on fremont let's go buy some um whatever they want to
buy and i'm going to
fill in the blank of whatever drug it could be and they would just get they
would just rob them they
would give them whatever and they say go call the police if you and and then
what are they going to do
they're not going to call the police and then you got all of this crap going on
and it looks bad it's
like why why are tax dollars paying for the police if we're not going to keep
the area clear so i think
to answer your question yeah what i would do mostly is i would leave the prostitutes
alone with the
exception of them you know interacting with them to say hey it's time to clear
out when you first
start out in vegas what are some things that you saw so anything that stands
out you know so from a
crime perspective or from just the culture of policing perspective um let's
start with the crime
perspective so from the crime perspective drugs are one of the most i mean
drugs and alcohol okay
because drugs and alcohol kind of run hand in hand when it comes to the
challenges that i would run into
the drug scene when vegas was either was crack or it was speed and like i said
before depending on the
area commandment and i would go on fremont because i worked fremont primarily
the first part of my career
and i'd see these young girls hooked on crack prostituting on fremont street
then you would
see guys who came into town to party in vegas they you know gamble at the casinos
downtown and then they
want to come and pick up these girls they get trick rolled i mean it's just
this like incredible web of
vice that occurred and it was like gotham city and what's trick rolled is that
that thing where you
somebody sends you that video or whatever no so trick rolled is when um you a
girl
a prostitute ends up getting you in a hotel room either drugs you or steals
your money and rolls
you so the guy's the trick and they roll them for his money okay like a finesse
kind of yeah
sometimes it's finesse sometimes it's with with some with drugs i mean there
are a lot of different
ways that that could potentially happen the act of a person commercially exchanging
sex robbing or
stealing from their sex buying client known as a trick got it i got it okay
yeah i thought it was
something at a sushi joint too i'm like damn i don't know yeah just make sure
you cook it first
um like would you bust into some like wild parties like are you busting and
people have been up for
days would you bust in and people were so bummed that you were ruining the
party that ever happened
you know the thing was not so necessarily bummed it was that the people felt
like it was in vegas like
come on cop we should be able to do this i mean like we're why are you you know
bothering us right now
like not they wouldn't even be mad it was almost like a joke or people who
wouldn't want to try to
pay you off or stuff like that but the funny thing is that when i was talking
about the girls doing the
trick rolls and stuff like and everything these people were a lot of times
close to my age so i would
see these you know do you know this um the guy's name is uh he was a famous uh
poker player um i can't
remember his name i pulled him over one time um and he was completely cracked
out he's not he's
dead now so it's not me he was driving he was no he was in the passenger seat
two longer yeah longer
i pulled stew on oh he was in the passenger side of a car the the driver was
this dude who
i knew was a dealer completely cracked out of his mind and stew tried to play
me as i was standing
at the at the passenger side of the car to try to get me to let him go knowing
that the car was full
of all kinds of stuff now in vegas i can tell you that without telling you that
on both hands i've run
into easily five to ten b a list people involved in very very compromising
situations and i know
that happens in la but the vegas stuff is really super seedy it's almost always
some kind of sex
prostitute drug type thing and i and you know i was like 21 22 years old and i
was interacting with
people who i had no idea that i would be interacting with them on that type of
level
like were there times you get called to hotel rooms like i'm just trying to
think of like take me on
like a specific call if you can um so and you know i'm not saying name
celebrities and i don't need
that but i'm just saying like yeah take me on like a call where things are like
you know i'm just
kind of curious as to the level of um like just the things you would see
because it's vegas like
you know it's the craziest place on earth so here's a story and and it's a sad
story do i sound
demanding about that no not at all okay sorry i mean that's kind of why i came
right my hearing is
kind of sensitive today too yeah i don't know why i think i'm just tired but so
so working downtown
i i got a call once so you guys walk the beat down there what do you guys know
that's one of the
things you don't really walk as much as in in vegas you know everyone really
drives a car and i could
talk about that a little bit later because i think foot patrol is kind of
important but i remember
one time going to uh there was this movie theater called the flick movie
theater it was right on
fremont street and i remember going in and uh and going to a hotel getting they
would accomplish our
dinner so we get a comp and go eat dinner at one of the hotels i remember
meeting the security guard
he gave me a comp i went ate dinner and then i got out you're talking about
foot patrol i got out
to walk my food off about an hour or so later and i go in the flick motel and
it was one of those
kind of triple x kind of movie theater and the same security guard they gave me
the comp
was getting a blow job from a young guy in in one of the back seats in his
uniform wow comp and dinner
huh um hey so he's just sitting in the back getting a blow job what do you do
do you go in there are you
wearing like a shades and like are you hiding in the distance what are you
doing no no so what i
hated having to do that because i was a rookie at the time and and like you
walk in there and your
boots are like sticky because you know all kind of disgusting it's just kind of
gross you don't
clean the p
