Wow! Illegal prostitution in Las Vegas has gotten so out of hand in the last 35 years.
I had more action when I lived there than I did in the 3 days I was there prior to moving, when I was checking out where I was going to rent/live, but the prostitutes I came across were just trying to either score their next “ drug hit” or pay their own rent.
The scenarios you talk about in this vid are way more in depth than TV shows and movies depict. On the other hand, it sounds like the pimps and girls have paid attention to those scripts and realized how stupid “johns” really are.
I came across one at a bar in Westgate (back then it was the Las Vegas Hilton). Most of the time though I found them near the places they lived. I actually got to know some over several days before hooking up.
That was years ago - I don’t do that anymore. I’ve become asexual since.
So I used to work the graveyard shift at the Diamond Inn, across the street from the Mandalay Bay and I remember 2 times where prostitutes drugged men and stole money from them. One of those occasions placed me in an awkward situation because a prostitute escorted a Swedish or Danish tourist to his room and 5 minutes later came back to the lobby where I worked and took his credit card and kept making withdrawals. She said the tourist wanted to give her a “birthday present”. She made about 5 withdrawals before the card finally declined. I believe she probably got about $1,000.
Now here is where it gets funny:
At one point she mentioned she was wearing makeup (she was a BEAUTIFUL black woman with an amazing face and body) and I said “wait…youre wearing makeup?”.
At first she was like “cmon man, are you serious?”
I got close to her face, squinted and looked carefully at her face and said “youre wearing makeup?”
She then got visibly emotional and said “I love you!” and gave me a $20 bill and left.
True story.
have you been scammed, robbed, assaulted?
Ur doing a good Job,in providing all of this info&advice.👍&jeep up the good work.
.And I have also been living here for a long time(21 yrs)
The biggest rip off in Vegas appears at 4:59 over his shoulder.
I got scammed the moment I arrived on the Strip... the resort charged me for parking.
I hear you, it is full of scams. Even my wife tries to charge me for sex when we are in Vegas...
Lol lol lol
wait for the resort fee
Preachhhhhh
Yeah, a scam all over
A smart man learns from his mistakes. A smarter man learns from other people's mistakes.
A real man doesn't pay for pussy....
I suppose a "rocket scientist", "brain surgeon", or high ranking member of MENSA, just doesn't make any of the mistakes talked about in this video to START WITH??🤣🤣

_I suppose a "rocket scientist", "brain surgeon", or high ranking member of MENSA, just doesn't go to Las Vegas to START WITH??_
You know, I’ve been to Vegas a bunch of times and I’ve never been scammed by the prostitutes. I guess not seeking them out helps.
@tywebbgolfenthusuast8950 - re: "You know..." 1. No! Did not know!! 2. Appreciate giving us readers the knowledge of ... "now knowing!"
The guy in the video definitely dabbled lol
If you ever decide to in the future, be careful if you ask them to evacuate their bowels on your chest.... they'll pull that, 'I cant go. Im trying to shit on you, you see I'm pushing but I just don't have to go right now' bullshit. Yet you don't get any money back if you leave with a clean chest, and every time, if you stand in the hall for a few minutes on your way out, you'll here a toilet flush within 5 minutes!! Almost every bitch drops what shoulda been YOUR heat as soon as you leave and just fakes not being able to cover your chest so that it looks like a Pollock painted with wet dook!! Apparently, rolling around in a baby pool covered in shit while pissing on yourself "takes up too much of their "valuable" time" and they have to either "clean up and cover the smell of shit or pay for and move to another room" cause thats sooo difficult, besides its THEIR shit, the smell shouldn't be THAT bothersome..... Anyway, Im just saying, when you're in this situation, and lets be honest you'll DEFINITELY be in this situation, don't pay to have a whore unload her ass on your chest upfront, hold the cash earmarked for this part of the service until after that dump is delivered to your satisfaction.... otherwise, theres a really good chance that you won't be spreading shit all over yourself and pissing into your own face and if you can't do that, then what are you paying a whore for?
Best answer !
Some men are naive enough to just think the girl is really into him without realizing she's a hooker
If you don't want to be compromised, never put yourself in a compromising situation.
what a simpleton
Meh, that's like saying if you don't want to be in a car accident, never ride in cars, or don't want to get hit by lightning, never go outside if the weather isn't perfect. That's not living life.
@@stinkycheese804 you win stinky!

As a security guard who works at one of the strip properties, everything he said is spot on. He also should have added that even if security and police are able to help you in a situation involving a prostitute, you'll still be charged for soliciting sex, so you'll be a victim and be slapped with a charge, its a terrible idea so just ignore those women as tempting as they are. The only advice I can say is that if you get into any trouble at an MGM, Caesars, or any mega resort casino, notifying security is way more effective than trying to fix the problem yourself or calling the police. We know the property better than you do and we can direct police, paramedics, and provide first aid way faster than any other help can arrive. Good video.
If you go to a girl for paid sex, you're not a "victim."
So you're saying "Very Bad Things" could have been a much shorter movie?
Why does the "John" get soliciting for sex and not the prostitute?
I thought it was legal in Nevada
@@jimmylim5015 Only in certain counties Clark (Las Vegas) is not one of them.
The "Resort Fee" is the biggest scam in Las Vegas.
Exactly!
In Hawaii too.
100% AND they even have it at crappy places like motel 6
It helps pay for the street police, the bridges across the main roads, etc.
Well said
Best advice is don’t bother with the prostitutes. If you absolutely must for some reason, just take a free limo or pay for a cab to one of the legal brothels. They aren’t in Vegas proper, but they’re like an hour away and perfectly safe if that’s your thing. You’ll almost certainly still regret it after you get your post nut clarity and realize what a huge waste of money it was, but you won’t be in any danger
Lol @post nut clarity hit different
Still cheaper then divorce
Exactly. I’ve been going through a bit of a dry spell so I wouldn’t mind shelling out big bucks for a legit one, honestly. Too bad I’m not planning on going to Vegas anytime soon!
@@guyrosinbaum7745I love these blue-pilled men that still think they're getting "it" for free. Hah hah hah!
That moment of clarity 🥰
Word of advice if your not the type of man that has women hanging on you. And all the sudden they do, your getting robbed
As an 18 year old US Marine in 1977 I took a trip with buddies from 29 Palms Ca to LV by a bus. Upon arrival every hooker, con man , rip off artist, and scumbag, was waiting to steal as much money as quickly as possible, and in the late 70s it wasn't difficult identifying young Marines from the rest of the population .
My trip was ruined as I couldnt go anywhere without someone trying to con me.
I hated Las Vegas and to this day will never go back.
Tijuana had less grifters!
It's a proving ground for larceny.
They stole the Raiders from Oakland.
@@kidmack3556 so true!!! 😂
SOUNDS HORRIBLE....EVERYBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU EH? GLAD I NEVER WENT THERE!
@@susanfurlong2002 Oh I left out the best part -- the Military Green School Bus had USMC painted on the sides with bright yellow paint, this way the Hookers really could see us coming. Lol
Tijuana is another country. You can disappear without a trace. My dad did physical on inmates. He got alot out by calling relatives
I have a friend who takes counterfeit bills with him when he goes places. And he carries them in his pocket in case he gets robbed. Can you imagine, robbing somebody, and then trying to spend the money and going to prison for counterfeit? LOL
I have a friend who did the same. He made it 6 months and ended up in federal prison.
@@allenh7835 Criminals aren't smart enough to check for "not legal tender" when robbing you, and your buddy apparently wasn't smart enough to put it on his counterfeits lol
I guess I got lucky. I tried to spend bills I didn’t know were counterfeit, and nothing happened. 😅
@@allenh7835 Dam!
You don’t go to prison for trying to use counterfeits..
Great video. I wish a buddy of mine had seen it. He was murdered earlier this year by a prostitute that he took back to his room and he was drugged with fentanyl. Her and her husband had been running this kind of scam and others for a couple years. My buddy died that night from an OD and fortunately the scumbags were caught and a criminal trial is pending.
Sorry about your friend. That has to be hard. I pray that the criminals are prosecuted to the fullest extent. So sorry.
@@bubbaj1932 Thank you very much. Hard to come to grips with it. He was definitely flawed as a person, but the amount of good he did really made him a productive and loved member of society. I need to face these POS to help with closure when the trial happens.
Overdose? Nah, he got poisoned. It would be overdose if he was a willing drug user and messed up the measurements.
Several " acquaintances I knew.. " killed by babe or " Theotis " the enforcer.. Watch your Dealings with players..
@@rumcho He may have taken a drug willingly but it was laced with fentanyl so that makes it an overdose.
Jacob is doing a real public service here. Giving people tips to stay safe in Las Vegas is great. Several years ago, me & a few other guys went to LV. Lots of fun. Had never been before. We stayed at one of the top properties. We also met some women & invited them back to our room. And yes, one of them did text someone. And yes, Three Guys did show up at our door. One of the women answered the door. The Three Good Sized Guys entered the room & demanded our wallets. Unfortunately for them, all Four of us had our own weapons & when they entered the room, we had already pulled our weapons. You never saw Three Grown Men run so fast in your life. The Women were right behind them. Best Advice: Be Prepared!
Bad ass story
I love it, i would love to see their surprised faces
I call bullshit
@@efg1311 Yup, I'll take shit that never happened for $800 please
So basically, the whole thing comes down to that great John Wayne quote: life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
Just back from Freemont St. Saw 2 topless women trying to pick pocket some guys front pack that was in the back area. They ended up getting the guys credit card and scanning it into their own device. Wow what a stupid thing to do ! Probably deserved being ripped off.
Can't go wrong with a solid John Wayne quote
Actually I think it was Robert Mitchum. But either way you're right.
Or what my Drill Sergeant said back in 1988:
"If you're gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough!"
@@andyhughes1776 that one is hilarious! 🤣
This doesn't just happen with prostitutes. A "regular" girl in Vegas can cause any of the same scenarios. Avoid women entirely in Vegas.
Like the show girls on the strip scam many people just taking pictures with them
the later, avoid women entirely
Always remember… If she’s into you, it’s a scam!!! 😂
The cure for that is to negotiate the price of the photo first. It's a lot cheaper than they will charge you if you talk price after the photo is taken.
just go to fucking thailand instead. it'll end up being way cheaper. fuck all of this
If women are interested in me, something is wrong...learned that a long time ago. 😂😅
Me too
Same here
I use to want to go visit Vegas when I was in my 20s but now years later, I realize I'd rather stay AWAY from places with crime and gangs like this.
Remember, vegas is called, SIN City for a reason!!!!
Worst scam is you get married and get tortured and nagged for your whole life whilst she takes all your money and steals your house at any moment. Be careful.
I saw the "whilst" and knew you were Aussie. Dead giveaway! :)
Plus cheating on you. That is the icing on the cake right there, buddy.
That means you Married a woo ok man with Zero in Common lol. If you marry a woman who wants a big ring , that’s a dead giveaway that it won’t last lol
Rule number 1 marry a smart girl who has a great job lol
@@rbstevns1534 just don't get married, never ever. You get married, you are owned by a woman and the state. Say NO to that shitty deal!
You are dead on. I've been to Vegas dozens of times. You spelled out the reality of it. One thing I noticed is that the staff at big hotels are fairly protective of their guests. I was having a drink at the bar in a strip hotel and a couple of girls started flirting with us hard. The staff seemed to know they were up to no good and ejected them with a few minutes. I wouldn't have done anything with them because I saw what they were doing but the bar staff was on it.
you totally wanted to "do something" with them, lol
@@nikkingman I was thinking the same thing. "ok sure buddy"
naturally an establishment like a hotel wants to keep its customers safe to have a good reputation. Regular people won't want to go to a wretched hive of scum and villainy
@@nikkingman Hey, they were good looking but something was clearly wrong. I'm not that good looking.
@@Eralen00 But those Mos Eisley hookers though... let me tell ya. They have some of the best. Some are weird looking, but still worth it. Would definitely warp drive over there again.
Hi Jacob,
This is my first video that I have watched from you and was recommended by the guy that has the channel called the world according to Briggs… I’m a US Air Force veteran looking to move out to Vegas and I’m going to be watching more of your videos to see what it’s like out there. Thank you for all your hard work that you do. I appreciate you piece.
JimmyUSAF 🇺🇸✈️
Thank you for your honest and respectable report!
The biggest scam in Vegas is the low casino room rate and the ridiculously high resort fee they charge with it.
I got screwed at every turn in Las Vegas on pricing - and none of that was from a prostitute.
A friend of mine got mugged in Atlantic city. He said the taxi driver that took him to the police station was a worse thief than the mugger.
For a sec i thought your name was Jamie Lannister 😁
Last time I was there is was like $25 for a hamburger and fries and nothing else was open. Add to that the ridiculous $45 resort fee they add on to the room. 20 years ago I worked in Vegas often... At Xmas time the Palace Station had tower rooms for $9... and $5 for employees. Whisky Petes had $16 room for CDL truckers...
@@thomasjakobsen9208 That's fookin Jamie Lanister.
It’s pretty expensive
Thank you Jacob, I live here and what you say is spot on for tourists!
Thank you Jacob! Really good safety information!
None of these are “scams”, it’s just assault and robbery lol.
Yeah, a scam is when you pay her and she says “i have to pee first” and then climbs out if the window. Lol. Not when a guy sticks a gun in your face.
Haha you're not wrong, I think scam is the wrong word, this is just straight up getting robbed.
@@Dziaji Unless you pay her, 'she' turns out to be the guy that sticks a gun in your face taking your watch, and climbs out of the window - then you're double-scammed 🤣
The old "Cardi B Special"
Sounds like actual sex never happens.
The absolute worst scam with prostitutes in Vegas happened to me. I ordered in an "escort" to my hotel room from one of those cards they hand out in the street and Carrot Top showed up. Suffice to say i was NOT happy, although since i'd prepaid…
I mean you prepaid, what are you gonna do? NOT screw him? Just feel fortunate it wasn't Pauly Shore.
*sighs unzips*
Only time I’ve been scammed too

Answering the most important questions I see
I'm 70 years old. I don't think I'll ever visit Vegas. Too late for me. You go and have fun, you youth filled legends.
No never too late..
life just beginning for you sweetie. ❤️
Vegas is no fun.
I had my fun 1970s stationed in West Germany 🇩🇪/ even at Fort sill, ( Lawton, oklahoma ) w the hookers. Times are different now. These hookers are more scandalous nowadays ☠️💃👀
You're in Pattaya aren't you, you badass.
They have very good accessibility for older folks. Everything has ramps and elevators. Venetian, Mirage and Caesar's is nice. Haven't been in a while. Don't go hunting up drugs and hookers or go off-strip. Take in a show or two (get tix before you get there). And some food. The food is amazing. If you're not a degenerate gambler and want to bet some games it's really not a bad weekend. I was mostly at the caesar's sportsbook and a lot of the people were 60+. And the servers came around regularly because people tipped.
Beware of getting into random limos from off the strip. I got in one with my friend and a "Host" and even though I was drunk I knew something wasn't right. My escape tactic was that I needed to throw up, car door wouldn't open from the inside and the windows couldn't be rolled down. So the driver rolls down the window, I open the door from the outside and I get out immediately and bailed with my friend.
That's a good idea to escape a car ... the vomit strategy. Duly noted. Cheers.
*Good tactic - opening the door from outside!*
The “puke trick” works basically anywhere, especially at concerts. My dad taught it to me, if there’s a huge crowd of people and you’re trying to get out quickly, just act like you’re gonna throw up and it’s like Moses parting the Red Sea! 😂
oh boy I spent a night with a female limo driver I will never forget. She told me she was cheaper than a cab. Haha. She lied but she took me from one bar to another and got drunk with me and showed me places in Vegas' underbelly I will never forget.
And avoid those holes in the bathroom stall walls!
Food for thought, in any city, in any situation.
Thank you!
Thanks for the heads ups notice.
I’ve been going to Vegas for probably 30yrs. I don’t normally “hit” the tables until later in the night. Hit some slots around 10pm and go from there. Around 11pm on, you’ll begin to see very young (20ish) very attractive woman (Alone), start showing up hanging around the elevators. One night during my last trip, around 12:30am or so, I was headed up to my room to grab a pack of smokes, when a young lady said “hi”. I stupidly said hello back.
You going to your room, she asked, I said yep, going to grab smokes.
Can I go with you?
What for, I’ll be back down here in 5 min.
Your married aren’t you
Nope
Well, I’m gonna go with you
No, your not. Tell you what, if you’re still here when I come back down, maybe we can talk. (which I had no intention of doing)
Ok, I’ll be here
I spent an extra few minutes in my room and came back down, and she was gone.
Guys, these “ladies” will hover around the tables and see what kind of “stack” you have.
They see you away from the tables, they’ll “attack”.
Not only was I going to grab smokes, I wanted to put about $3500 in the safe in my room.
Go there enough, they’re easy enough to spot.
If an attractive woman talks to a guy and she doesn't work for the casino then she is most likely a hooker.
thans for the tip
you are paranoid. how often do you think they rob people in big hotels? most of the women there are working with the staff. part of everyday business. you talk as if no one not gets robbed
I was a Vegas resident for 22+ years
This is an absolute factual video
I've been going to Vegas since 1990. Mostly in the summertime. Is June July August-September. May. Usually Friday Saturday Sunday. I never notice any of this. The only thing I notice are the people that hand out you know the cards to call somebody to come to your room.
Do you see a bunch of "Nicolas Cage" characters who go there to "LEAVE"???
@@1990758 WOW!!! You must have guts, or be extremely tolerant of heat. Because a friend and I went to Vegas back in AUGUST of 2004 or 2005, and the heat was only bearable because of the air conditioning provided....Which made me wonder WHAT was really supplying so much power to light and "chill" the city back then....I find it very difficult to believe that ONLY the Hoover Dam was supplying the city with that much power as I was told by a number of people. Even back then, Las Vegas was a BIG city, and I find it difficult to believe that a dam built in the 1930's was advanced enough to supply the Vegas of the year 2004 or 2005!! (But then again, maybe it's just because I know practically nothing about electricity and power....Or the "aliens" at Area 51 is the REAL source of power??🤣😶🤣)
And speaking of the Hoover Dam, the heat that day visiting it was the HOTTEST weather I had ever experienced in my life!! (I think the temp that day was 120°, or OVER!!!🥵🥵)
To think men performed dangerous physical work in such heat to build that dam is remarkable itself!! (Assuming such temperatures are not that unusual?)
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801 lol The heat and Las Vegas doesn't bother me But the heat and Los Angeles does. We went to Hoover dam 2015 Memorial Day weekend 125ﾟ.
@@1990758 WOW!! I wonder if there is a record heat there and WHAT it was and WHEN it was!! When I was at the Hoover Dam doing the "tourist thing" I remember some guy with a Southern drawl saying: "I'm from Alabama, and I ain't ever felt heat like this!!!". Interesting comment because having survived Basic Training at Ft. McClellan in Alabama, I knew or "met" that "Alabama heat", but with HUMIDITY 75° can indeed feel much more warmer, but that DRY heat in the Nevada/California/Arizona desert made "Mr Alabama's" remark much more profound to me!!
Perfect just about to head out to Vegas and I was wondering about this perfect timing . thank God you made this video.
I live in Las Vegas and follow all your videos , excellent job! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I didn't experience Las Vegas as scammy, but I booked a hotel 1 block off the Strip (so incredibly cheap cost), walked or drove myself anywhere I needed to be, and only made purchases by card from legal and regulated businesses. It was a good time. The coolest parts were the interesting hotel designs and the excellent food

Thank you for the warnings. Simply realizing that anyone coming up to you unasked, could be a big problem for you helps. Never think you just got lucky when she looks right in your eyes and smiles.Have a plan of where you want to go and stick to that plan. I spend a lot of time making distance between me and other people trying to stay with me. If I don't know you, I don't want you around me. And it takes years to know me, not hours.Never ever let a stranger buy you drinks or food especially at a place you mistakenly let them get you to go too. If the bartender and this person look chummy,they could be running a scam. Frankly, be smart and protect yourself at all times. Especially in a place you don't know. There are threats in any city. At least,where you live, you know where those threats are. Here, you are just meat for the grinder.
INFORMATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL!
You are a legend. Telling ppl things no one else will dare say. Thank you.
It was 1 1/2 years ago. I wanted to walk to a dispensary to go pick up some choice vape pens for my stay. When I cut through the back neighborhood going west behind the stratosphere there was a man getting roughed up by 2 other men. It looked totally staged. Because they were mainly hitting his body but nothing looked like it would really hurt because the intent wasn’t there. It seemed as though they were waiting for me to intervene for their chance to rob me. But I laughed and keep walking while at the same time making sure I was aware of my surroundings. The 2 guys eventually left. Don’t know if they took anything. The guy who was getting roughed up was trying to make it look like he was a victim but I wasn’t falling for it. Needless to say learn how to read the body language of people. Not just the actions. It can help keep you out of trouble.
What if that guy died or something lol. Good on you though, the scams like that make it rough for people actually getting robbed
You'd think every now and then one of those guys would get capped. That seems like a super high risk, low reward crime.
@@mpforeverunlimited Who cares? Not his problem.
You're so mean what an ass let a guy get beat up I'm Sky Champion on Powamoto and we would've taken all three down 🤟
Just do what everyone else does. Ignore it and keep walking. Lol
I live your videos because of your verbal skills. What I mean is I hate slow talking people. You speak very briskly but also with the perfect choice of words and train of thought. I would venture to say you are some kind of genius. Plus, you don't exhibit any conniving in your speech pattern. You seem to speak spontaneously without a hidden agenda. Of course I'm jealous because you are probably making a good living off TH-cam off something that seems so basic. But I have to hand it to you, you have unique skills for success and are a total pleasure to watch whatever subject you are discussing. Keep up the excellent work my man.
"Meat" of video begins at 3:00 - best viewed at 2X normal speed.
I lived in Vegas for 3 years, and I'll say my street smarts went up exponentially during that period. Nearly any stranger could have a bad agenda. I kept to myself, did my work, and made sure I never made myself too vulnerable to be robbed. I lived in the bad areas, but I kept my car empty and my doors always locked. I never held much cash in my wallet. If I won a big sports bet, I didn't make it known.
How much did you lose?
Daric who ya like for Superbowl 23?
If you're fortunate enough to come into money, you're wise to keep it to yourself. Your friends don't need to know.
To the guys who flash and flaunt they made themselves to stand out so they deserve what's coming next. They want to be a showoff, the better be able to take it as well
Ja
It's comical really, I've lived in the Downtown area forever it seems, at least over 10 years now. Being a native Nevadan it never fails to make me shake my head if I find myself wandering around the Fremont St. Experience and I see 2 or 3 girls approach a guy. Just out of the blue. They couldn't be more obvious. They normally work in pairs though as I've had them approach me. The 1st thing they love to ask? "So where you from?" The very second I say "I'm a local." they become annoyed and wander off. They very much only like to prey on the Tourists.
Yes it’s the same all around the world, where are you from? In third world countries they can be the hardest to shake because they’re more desperate. Especially in Bali but I figured out the quickest way to ditch them if you’re tired and done of their shit. Before they get close enough to even talk to you hold your hands out to each side and say “I have no money!” It ends it right then and there!
I had a few approach me at casinos. Now I lived temporarily in Vegas since I was working as a roofer for a federal contractor in Nellis AFB and so our bosses ended up renting us some apartments. So every other weekend we went out to the Strip. And that's where I would have women, mostly Asian women try to start chit chat with me while I played slots. Now a high school friend of ours who was already living in Vegas warned us before hand that these women were either hookers who could also be thieves or even worse, undercover cops. It didn't help that I was 20 so for the first few weeks I was already breaking the law by gambling while underage. It came to the point where I stopped being nice and told them to piss off.
Besides, if you do want to hook up, it's not that hard. There's plenty of regular clubs, strip clubs, bars, etc. Plus unless they're a giga Chad, men inevitably pay for sex one way or another so you may end up buying a girl a drink or whatever and take her back to your place, which we did.
And of course, the aforementioned escorts, which you can contact via the cards that they give out at the Strip. And you do see them with rich old farts riding in Vipers and Ferraris looking miserable but hey, they're probably making at least $1k that night
Lol; simple solution: don’t be a scumbag who uses prostitutes! Better yet, don’t be a scumbag who drinks and gambles, and wastes his life in Vegas!
"Local" works at the strip clubs too. Las Vegan since 1994.
Why would you possibly go to Bali ?
Great content Jacob. Thanks
Thanks for the video.
Best advice: You don't need Las Vegas in your life. At all. It's not that great. The lights are pretty, sure, but you are not Robert DeNiro or Joe Pesci in the movie Casino, and you never will be unless you are a famous rich person. You're not the dudes from The Hangover 1, 2, or 3.
If you can make it to your 30's, once you've grown up, you won't even miss it. If God ever told me he was going to remove all the memories I have of Las Vegas, as if they never happened, I would tell him, "Good. Be my guest!"
That city does not care about you, nor do the people in it. I love/d partying as much as the next guy, but Vegas is just empty and hollow inside. You'll never make any meaningful memories in Vegas that ever stack up to making memories with your family and friends at much more respectable places.
Unless you are completely oblivious to people using you, and you are more than fine with that, Vegas isn't your thing.
Words of a wise man. Vegas sucks. It's the emptiest place in the world.
Damn those are some wise words! I never been to Vegas and always wanted to go, but now I'm thinking maybe it's not worth it anymore 😂
The only thing I ever wanted to do was something called the classic gaming expo in Vegas, but they haven't done one in ten years. Vegas has never held any interest to me.
My wife's parents would go to Sin City every year. They knew how to stay safe. The stories they'd bring back about how people were so addicted to the gambling tables in the casinos, they'd actually put up the mortgages on their homes in the event they'd win. Nine times out of ten, they didn't win.
I'll never forget after a long night out walking back through the casino and passing by the locals at the slot machines. My Vegas friend told me they were trying to make their rent. A few literally were leaning forward with their heads against a paper cups against the machines while they were pulling. Like zombies barely awake.
I was at The Horseshoe Casino in 2022. A few young guys approached the roulette table I was at. Placed a $2,000 bet on black .. and *lost.* I think they took a collection from friends back home. At least $400 of it was in smaller bills.
But that one person who wins is what keeps them going.
@M0viLover I saw a lady playing for 60k a hand at blackjack. That was interesting
This is why I don't gamble.
Enjoyed the Luxor, safe and sound!
Honestly good information to put out. Keeping people informed and safe is better than pretending it doesn't happen.
Pro tip . If you are in Vegas ,and plan on boozing heavily ,bring just enough cash for the night and an ID. That way you don't lose a watch,credit cards ,etc
I'd get drunk in my room IF i was in scam vegas..
Unless your room gets robbed which happens.
I've live in Vegas 38 years and it is easy to stay out of trouble. If you're in shady situations you'll get shady results. 🤷
It's called being street wise,,,,,
Thanks for the Info .
Thanks for the advice.
Working on the strip I noticed the casinos kind of turn a blind eye to this activity but some security friends told the same kind of stories. When a young girl would come up to me all flirty, I would just say I’m local, they spin around so fast and gone.
No doubt.ive worked in casinos on strip most my life and they want nothing to do with locals.
When I was driving truck there would be a occasional lot lizard knocking on the door....I would just tell them, ""Quiet....If you wake my wife up, she's gonna be pissed!""
They promptly beat feet every time.
Another thing: Don't offend or abuse these women. They have a mean streak. A guy told me a story about the time he cussed out a hooker. The next morning he had a bunch of flat tires and had to call a tire service truck to get them aired up, She had pulled the valve stems out of the valve cores. She also tore the ribbon seal off his trailer. That meant he had to deliver a un-sealed load and the customer made him piece-count the load....... Don't play with these women but be polite about it.
IF you are a trucker, NEVER LET ANYONE into your cab. The screwin'' yer lookin'' for ain''t nuthin'' like the screwin'' you''ll get!
Thanks for the defense tip, I'm gonna use the "I'm a Local" line from now on whenever I'm approached by a stranger woman in Las Vegas.
Just say "no thank you..I'm gay"
LOCAL !!! Got IT !!!!
I have a universal alarm system that works in Vegas or anywhere else....if a woman is interested in me it's a scam.
The End
That's the "Know Your Number" rule. Guys, be honest with yourself. If you're a pudgy 5 or 6 and a smokin' hot 9 starts flirting and chatting you up then you're about to lose your wallet or, maybe a kidney.
or get injected with iron if you're a dumpy guard working at a secret plastic prison.
@@ornotgortwormiii8731 LOL...
"Kidney" well said and pretty funny!
Hey....Me too!!!!
I am a pudgy five or six but I do pull eight or nines
Nice work sir...
Very good advice. Thank you!
Such practical knowledge! You will prevent many unfortunate- tragic decisions. Thank you
Is very thoughtful of you to do this. If I was a Las Vegas " big wheel" I would make you the ambassador of safety and goodwill for the entire frigging state. you are a good man, Jacob. your family should be proud of you.
You’ve really gotta be kidding. A “good man”? Whose “family should be proud”? He’s a John. Not only that but he admits to knowing at least some of these women are slaves-ie have pimps. Unbelievable
@@debras3806 "some of these women are slaves".
So are the people who made whatever device you're using to try and stand on a soapbox.
Better to be a John than a Debra 🤷🏿♂️
Great channel!
Mad props on your ability to loudly narrate a video about how to buy a prostitute in a crowded city center. I could never do it.
Crowded? Hardly anyone was around. 🤷🏼♂️
He's saying not to try and buy a prostitute
Vegas kinda aint like that. Alot of empty places.
You idiots can’t appreciate a good joke? Shit was hilarious. SMH
"city center" lmao what city? it's just a giant theme park, and what center? it's a long street where most of it is in another "town" called paradise which is a cdp
Thank you so much for making this lengthy video. You are by far, a life saver for all the us men and probably women as well. Just incredible. It was very clear watching you, the quality of audio was fantastic. God bless, brother.
Thank you AI P!
lengthy.. its 12 minutes zoomer
@@jaredfrazier2216 was long enough for me
@@jaredfrazier2216 I was so captivated by the stories it felt like a 5 minute video!
I enjoy your channel!
FINALLY! A truly educational TH-cam video!!
prime rule of safety for a tourist is don't act like a tourist.
when outside,
- don't wear or carry anything flashy
- be discreet and don't draw attention to yourself
- blend in as much as possible
- always be alert and aware of your surroundings
- minimal or no alcohol/weed consumption
- regard everyone with suspicion specially the overly friendly locals
Sounds like a blast !
(SARCASM)
I’d rather not go lol
True, I've never visited LV or Nevada. I've read & heard mixed things. Any smart travel tips are good in most US areas not just Las Vegas or NV.
sounds boring
...and these are suggestions for people going to Vegas? 😅
I’m smoking that pack boss
I think it's great that your doing this for tourists. Nicely done
He has dabbled
Yes, "escorts" drugging men happens quite a bit. I met an escort who wanted a drink so she suggested a bar and took me there, she asked to take a sip of my drink, turned her head, then gave the drink back to me, next thing I know I was a zombie with no more money.
Have your own bottle & don't share.
Stop hiring prostitutes. It's illegal and totally nasty. Better to get a real date than pay for one.
Limitless has a good example of scam number 1 on video on his channel from a few years back. They grabbed his phone from his back pocket and handed it off. He noticed it after a minute, turned around and saw one of the girls 50-100ft away walking away. He ran over and confronted her and got his phone back after some arguing.
i always keep my wallet and phone in my front pockets. especially in touristy areas like Vegas.
Yes, there are skilled pick pockets there. Also, get a RFID wallet to prevent skimming!
I do this as well and freak out every time I reach for my wallet in my pack pocket and it is not there.
Perhaps I'll start doing that.
Having Velcro-lined pockets might be a good idea when visiting big cities.
Dog..in Vegas, you NEVERRRRRRR CARRY A WALLET!!!!! Just keep your cash, license/ID and cards in your front pocket
Jacob,love your content! Insight for tourist to come to Vegas and not lose their life or money. Thank you! Keep it up!
Great video thanks for Awareness This helps Cause it could happen to anyone.
dude this is my first time watching a video on your channel and you give out some really legit info! there's needs to be more people like you in the world!
Thank you Alexander!
That was really helpful, considering the summer is approaching and people already booking their vacation
DUDE he's not a prostitute. Quit kissing his a$$
@@JacobslifeinVegas *
Meh, would have helped more to have listed countermeasures instead of just be worried. The only one i saw was stay at a major resort.
The most terrifying part of this video? realizing Carrot Top still has a show.
Where's your show?
Great content!
Love your channels
I salute you bro this will be helpful for any tourist and there's probably ppl wishing this videos was made years ago 🤣
Having lived here in Las Vegas the last 30 years and known a lot of people who have worked on the Strip, all the scams you mention are spot on from everything I have heard. Always watch out for pickpockets (men or women) usually working as a team especially around big events in Las Vegas like fights, etc. Also, it is amazing to me how many tourists that come here think that prostitution is legal all over Nevada and are surprised to find out it is not in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is a shit show now
Haha, lived her the past 40 years and I wonder why people even come to this place. Over priced and not as fun as people think.
@@YesYourRight pretty lights
@@YesYourRight When I think of Vegas I think of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Oceans 11 and I don't want the truth to replace the fantasy.
@@YesYourRight Have you never been to other liberal cities? They are what makes Vegas look like a vacation. LOL
All the dudes clicking for "Research Purposes"
Great video!
Thanks for the awareness, never visited Vegas but it's definitely on the list! "hooking up" with someone on holiday is not something that really interests me though luckily. Main takeaway from this vid for me is that if the people i'm out there with are stopped by another group on the street for some "polite conversation" to keep my hands in my pockets at the very least
Jake doing all the tough research and putting in the work. 😃
I’m in NJ. 2.5 hour drive down to AC which is good enough for me. I can do pretty much anything in AC I could do in Vegas so going back to LV isn’t on my list. The worst is maybe a homeless person/druggie asking for money on the boardwalk. As long as you don’t wander off the Main Street into the actual city of AC you’ll be fine. Trouble only finds you if your looking for it

I remember when my brother was robbed in Vegas. Him and his buddy her at the strip club and a stripper walked up and asked him if he wanted a lap dance for $20. He politely declined and said no. She walked over to the bouncer and told him that she had given my brother a lap dance and that he refused to pay her. The bouncer came over and refused to let them leave until he gave her $20.
Something like that happened to my cousin but then he went back and shot the security and stripper. 😕
But he’s in Mexico now he’s an English teacher now lol 😂
@@luiscarlosgarcia9354 they made their bed and your cousin made them lie in it
its not such a thing as a lap dance for 20$..usually 200-300 and up
200 to 300 for a lap dance?! No way!
@@kipdon did u ever went to the strip club? lol..its 2022..you lucky to get lap dance for 200-300..if you drunk they will steal your credit cards and you woke up with 2-3k bill
I was in Vegas during the late 80's, and was warned by a resident to avoid special "girly bars", which were nondescript places that offered female company in a bar-like atmosphere. They required you to buy drinks for yourself and the girls, and ran a tab on your credit card. Of course the drink prices were over-inflated, and they would continue to place charges on your card as long as they could keep you there. The guy told me one was lucky to escape with no less that $1000 or more charged to your card. If you complained, they had bouncers that would give you a hard time. It was basically coerced robbery from the moment you walked in the door. There were dozens of ads in the Yellow Pages for these places.
I would have brought a couple hundred in cash and left the card at the hotel 😂
Going into a bar with a credit card is really stupid. Get the amount of cash you may want to spend that evening and leave the card somewhere safe.
@@srccde most people have credit cards on them
@@srccde or get a prepaid debit card for when you feel like visiting such shady establishments.
@@dingdang3324 Obviously, but AFAIK they're not glued onto your body. Therefore, you can leave them in a safe instead of carrying them right into the heart of shady establishments.
very informative info, gives a single guy something to think about when carousing!
Great information
Jacob I have watched your channel grow over the years. I'm so proud of you my Jacob !
Hi Rhea! Yes, you have! You've been around for awhile. Thank you for being so supportive 😊
Love your videos Jacob! I am a huge fan. I think it is o great that you make these kinds of videos that educate, protect, and engage us. This video could one day save someone's life. Nice one, bro!
Thank you BNS!
Agree. Loving these informative hopefully life saving vids!

For the record, this video could be ANY city or town on the planet. take heed guys.
Two minutes in on a 12 minute vid and he is still repeating what the topic is… instead of getting to the story … good bye
Found the robber lol
5 mins in mate, still the same.
Thanks for saving my time!
Thank you for saving me time, truly a man of the people and I hope this comment doesn’t get touched
That's why he got scammed
It baffles me that anyone is superficial and dull enough to think that any of this looks appealing. I worked at North Tahoe during college in the late 60's. Even in that much smaller and less glitz-saturated environment, I don't think I ever met one genuine person. There were few honest people, few hard workers, and absolutely no deep thinkers. They reminded me of crows, twitching from one bright object to the next, with no meaningful cognition. It was a very depressing segment of humanity.
Homeless harassing and threatening violence is what I experienced in Las Vegas. I won’t be returning anytime soon. I don’t feel safe vacationing there.
Lmao
Yea.. I had to fuck a bum up last time i was in vegad
