Just wondering if anybody remembers the good ole days in Vegas?

And I paid less than what the current Vegas rate is. Anybody paying more than $400 an hour in Vegas is an idiiot.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion regarding your experience.
There are many ladies here in all rate ranges.
Some guys don't mind the rates here or they hobby within their budget whatever that may be.
If you have had better luck in CA great but don't give up all the way on vegas.

However, Vegas has always been a tourist driven market and tourists are coming back and not only spending money again, but spending money on non-gaming activities. So, you're going to see less hobby fees blown in the pit.  

The ladies I speak with tell me biz is up. Traditionally, over the last 10 years or so, the standard rate has been about $400/hr. When the economy went into the toilet, rates softened, but they're probably back up to where they used to be.  

I am generally a mature gal/AMP hobbyist in Vegas. Escort or apartment gal makes more sense to me in LA/OC/SF/SJ/SFL. I see mature gals who are high performance who live close to me-i'd rather do that than pay to surf Ashley Madison. There are no decent AMPs near my house-it's a 35-40 min drive to Hendo for me. But the talent has gotten a lot better in the last two years or so. The issue there is i'm paying $200 for what I pay $150-$160 in SoCal.  

Not sure of your tastes, but try either Milf Ciara (see my review) or Ciara and Helena (the really tall AA gal and her merely just tall Polish friend). All have excellent reviews at reasonable rates. Both AA Ciara and Helena are on my list, and Milf Ciara is likely to get another visit from me soon

About a year ago the Economist Magazine, did a cover story on the "Worlds Oldest Profession" Their take is as the escort business grows around the world and gets more generally accepted supply will out strip demand, and prices will fall.  In fact a provider posted this article on this board about a year ago.  I bought that issue and when I was done I gave it to a popular provider in LV. She thought the article was interesting, and probably true.

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch......

Do you feel better now?   I've been having fun in Vegas for 10 years and hope to continue for the next 10 years.   And I have memories that will last a lifetime.   And I certainly don't have to deal with horrendous traffic.  I book a room and whether it's on the strip or downtown, I've got plenty to do within easy walking distance.  My choice.  Have the proverbial rates gone up?  Sure....but then so have the ticket prices for shows; Blackjack now only pays 6:5 in most casinos; ...and wtf is up with the clubs that charge $400 - $500 for a bottle of booze?   Cabana's can run $1K...seriously?    And as C3 pointed out....what happened to the $8.95 all you can eat buffet?  

Good for you that you've found "nirvana" in SoCal.    I still prefer Vegas.  And just because there's an apparent recent influx of young hotties that have hit the market, there's plenty of choices at "good old days" rates...adjusted for inflation

I was in Vegas a lot in the 2000 to 2008 period until the economy went to hell, so I know the rates back then.  I normally saw some of the best - 9's and 10's.  From what I have seen on their websites and the websites from one or two I have received pm's from regarding an upcoming return to the hobby in Vegas in July, I do not see much, if any difference in rates for these providers.  It may be true that when I was not around in the recession days that some providers may have reduced their rates, but my atf did not.  
Having said all that, there have always been some very high priced ladies in Vegas that I have never visited because, though I am willing to spend for quality, I do not need to spend that much to have all I can handle and then some. I do not consider $400 to $500 per to be high for Vegas at all.

.......as much as you are disappointed in change.

I can still vaguely remember a brand new off the assembly line Mustang convertible for $ 3,999.00

My first single family home was a staggering $54,000.00 back in the Carter administration.

Back in hose days hookers were working the busy street corners of Bostons Combat Zone for $15.00 a bj.

 
I'm not mad due to today's rate hikes. I remember the $300. to $400. range until a smart little cookie piloted what was then a mega agency of beautiful and talented ladies upped the anti breaking the $500. barrier. He rest is unfortunately history.

Today's batch of new-comers and their hourly rates are reaching for the stars, do I blame them, not really, I wouldn't fuck half you guys for twice the price. Lol

Anyway, I am not one who adapts to change real well but no one is forcing me to spend my money.

As I've said before, someday in the not too distant future while lying in my nursing home twin bed fighting for my last breath one thing I'm sure of is that I will never utter the words " I wish I didn't part with the extra $100. or $200. In order to spend a few hours with so many beautiful, sexy and young girls ."

Peace out !

The biggest frustration are the numerous providers in Vegas with long strings of 10/10 and 10/9 reviews for $600+ and then you meet them and they're a 7/8 at the very best.

if you wanna eat, be entertained and gamble Vegas is great but it's not a hobby town compared to NY, LA, Miami or even TJ.

Not all of us have raised our rates and lots of us are very reasonable. You just need to look at other options that your current ones you've chosen.

Best of luck to you!
