My feeling is for the smaller agency fee you pay at least you have a reference point. With independents they can be here one day and gone the next with your $$$$$$$$$. Lots of them (not the stand-bys who are specific to Vegas) put adds up,pricing everything real cheap then leave without fulfilling anyone's expectations. Give me an established agency any day!

There are no established agencies in Vegas.  Stick with the well know quality indies.

This guy is obviously working for an agency...most likely Vegas-Exotics....see his post to Sheila Starr. The regulars on these boards know better than to use most agencies in Vegas. The only one I would consider would be Pretty Maids...again due to their favorable reviews on these boards.
Just my .02!

in Las Vegas agency girls are also here today gone the next, if you use this site often to view ladies of interest and to your taste the indie's will win out hands down everytime.  And think of the cash you'll still have in your pocket .. 1 or 2 agency fees alone will buy you another indie of your choice ... granted there maybe agencies in other areas of the USA that are excellent ... but in Vegas sorry, our views differ greatly.

It seems fishy that he first posted on the Vegas boards just a few days ago. All the posts are about how great agencies are--which is definitely not the same opinion of most long time posters here.

Plus, he posted his first TER review--or I should say, 4 reviews, this month, all on agency girls.

I'm not saying these are all false--but I hope bgtimeJake realizes posting false reviews will get him kicked off TER.

I have the same suspicions as well.  Could be wrong, but it does seem real fishy to me also.

You've seen an agency girl supposedly and she has some very low rated reviews. To be absolutely honest with you I don't believe a single one of your reviews or jueller11 or a few of the others that have written reviews on the same aphrodite agency girls that you have written about.

It's not often someone posts that they favor agencies over independents.Maybe a guy has a bad experience with an independent,and thinks they're ALL bad.Or maybe he IS helping out agencies.To those with a neutral point of view,just watch this board,and see how many people favor agencies vs. independents.If you're interested in independents,BigPoppaPump offers great advice,is on the board regularly,and it's apparent he does a lot of research.There are others as well,most of them you can send a personal email via this board,and they can tell you details they may not wish to mention over this public message board.   Getting off the subject for a minute,I'm a relative newcomer to the world of the internet;I have an interest in movie and DVD reviews.I found a good site(can't find a hyperlink) but it is www.rottentomatoes.com.You can even write your own reviews for free.NO,I DON'T WORK FOR THEM!(LOL)

As a long time and frequent Vegas visitor (first visit in 1972) I'd say your opinion is exactly the opposite of conventional wisdom.  My experiences are precisely the reverse of yours.

Not knowing any better on my first few visits I called an agency.  Not once did I feel like I got my money's worth and was left very unsatisfied each time.  I wisened up and finally got the nerve to ask a hotel bell hop - he put me on to an independent (remember this predates the internet) who I saw a number of times over the years.  She in turned recommended a few of her friends from time to time.  

Later along came the internet and sites such as this and I haven't looked back since.  All you need do is pay attention to what is repeatedly said here.  For each guy such as yourself who reports a good experience with an agency you'll get 10 to 100 who have had a bad experience with them.  Reports of bait and switch, dramatic upselling, and very rushed encounters are way to commonplace.

Are they all wrong or are you, as others also surmise, a shill for an agency?

Hi Nightthunder, your first visit to LV was 1972?Around that time,I didn't know or care if there was an LV.I doubt if I'd heard anything about legal brothels back then either.It wasn't til 1977,I went to visit my brother in LA,we took a road trip to Beatty,to the old Fran's Ranch,the price was 35 bucks an hour,and they didn't know what a condom WAS.Well,enough about nostalgia (LOL).I can't speak for anyone else,but I'm not gonna spend my good money without knowing exactly WHO I'm gonna be seeing and Exactly WHAT it's gonna cost.I'm not a tightwad,I'm free with my money when I've got enough of it,I just like to be SURE of what I'm paying for.Rip-offs,up-selling,negotiation,my libido shrinks to zero,I'd rather have a beer and watch TV.But when I've researched a girl,talked to her a few times,know what she looks like and what her exact rate is gonna be,I'm free to LET GO and have a great time.There's not gonna be a lot of honest debate here.

I couldn't let this one go by.  I,myself have not had a bad experience with an agency. I have had a couple of very bad ones with independent girls.One cost me $2000. dollars (my dumb fault) And was with a very well known provider here in Vegas. I never wrote a bad review regarding it because I felt it was my error. Then I had a friend use the same girl and have the same thing happen,not quite such a loss. As for my reviews, they are real. I use this service when I am in Vegas and I am unaware how one could "work for an agency or directory" when TER moniters all the reviews before they are put up.

Why are you so angry at me for prefering an agency? I have had no bad luck so far. Not to say it can't or won't happen. I am simply giving my opinion. I do know that the LasVegas Locals aren't well liked by the agencies because I was told. I don't know if you live in Vegas,but maybe if you do, that is why you have been treated poorly. As for "working for anyone" I travel here quite often to play cards and when I win I happen to favor this particular agency and just wanted to offer a good word about them. You would be surprised how much "Vegas gossip" I have heard regarding both agencies and independent providers. I have spent a lot of time here the last ten years or so myself and have seen the nightlife change considerably. I am sure there are lots of good independent girls out there too where you can save the agency fee.And,yes there are a few "established agencies" here. By that I mean they have been in business in Vegas for quite a few years. No offense intended.

Why is everyone so upset because I have something good to say about an agency in Vegas? Someone mentioned "Pretty Maids" being a good agency...the one I prefer is good also or at least has been good to me. They  have not scammed me at all. Like all the other agencies they charge a fee to the door,but if you don't like your girl,there is no cost. I have never sent anyone back even though she may have not been exactly the girl in the picture. After all,I am not getting married to her!As long as she is close to the web picture,nice and plesant and gives good service,that is what counts. They also state on thier site that they may use models in leiu of the real girls.You other reviewers are funny....just because I decided to start posting reviews and have spent two weeks in Vegas and have had time to see girls is far from "being a "schill". This site is for opinions and fun! I gave my opinion!

No one is angry at you, we just don't belive you, and you have no credibility.    You admit the sleaziness of the agencies, yet support them, If you don't care who shows up at your door that's fine. I want the lady I talked to, and whoes picture is on the site to show up.

From looking at your reviews,I wonder if you don't work for Jade and Kit. You sure have reviewed them enough.

My experience has been good,sorry! Has anyone ever seen a girl,gorgeous girl named "Kristy" She looks like  Krystal Steele? Well if you have , and she is an independent provider I must add. Look at her a bit closer. So much for actual independent girls!

Dont' work for them just like to see them!

I understand. That is how I feel about my opinion. I don't work for them,just like them.  Thy are small and try hard.
