Sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you expected ;-( .... BUT let's be honest.
Geez- STOP thinking with the little head. For real , how many times
will it take for a guy to get ripped off before he starts using his BIG HEAD. 
I am not trying to be mean , but explaining this politely doesn't seem to sink in.
You have gotten great advice here, but let's recap ok ...........
Tiny Eye , great tool although doesn't always pick up photos and maybe guys haven't heard of Tiny Eye. Well how would they ? Right ?
But the guy ( or any other newbie here ) is here on TER .... So he knows of TER.
Do research here-
does she have reviews ?
No - then pass.
Yes- only a few , proceed with caution.
Yes - many , most likely good choice.
Google is your friend - USE IT!!
Did you find other names using same phone number or photos ? STAY AWAY !!
Provider shows up looks nothing like her photo - SEND AWAY !!
I don't care how horny you are !!!
She has no website - proceed with caution .
CL ad , although maybe a few diamonds in the ruff , most rip offs.....
There is a reason they are on CL .
Did you see any top rated ladies on CL , NO ..... Well there is a reason why.
You were quoted 150-250 ... Well you get what you pay for.
If I wanted to make 150, I can be a stripper do 5-6 lap dances and make that.
TER is your friend , you are here ,means you know about it
- USE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because someone sounds nice over the phone doesn't mean your research stops.
Just because some says they are a true independent , doesn't mean they are .....
I mean come on did you expect the girl to tell you - no I am not a true independent and I am going to upsell you AND oh and I am not the girl in the photo
...... Come on get a clue already .
It really isn't that hard.
Ok maybe your choices are a bit limited due to certain type of things you want.....so you will need to look a bit harder , but better then being dissapointed , right ?
I just saw a guy who had a few bad experiences. He finally got that he needs to research and plan. He found me and another great lady , now he is hooked on the hobby.
He realized once he used his big head, how great this hobby is.
So live and learn and move on.
If after all this you ( or any other newbie ) still can't figure it out , then you'll just have to attend my 101 class - "How to Spot a Rip Off "
Happy Hobbying from Dr Spice Advice

Being extremely nervous about a situation and horny can be very bad for my decision making skills, clearly.
I'm in Vegas and after many months of considering using a provider, I took the plunge.
My problem is that I'm after something specific and after this experience, I think that my expectations may be unreasonable. I wanted an attractive, affordable, submissive girl who enjoys a good spanking, so I called a girl who claimed to be just that in her ad in Backpage. I even asked her in not-so-many words if she was really into the things that she said and she said, of course.
When she got here, she was not the girl in the photos by a long shot. She took the agreed on amount of money and when she asked me what I wanted told me that to finish would be extra, you know, cause in Vegas, tipping is the thing.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, it was an awkward, unexciting experience, she was not into the stuff she claimed to be into and the whole thing left me feeling sad, guilty, and cheated, all at once.
I would try again but there's no way I can justify another expense.
Let this be a lesson to all first time hobbyists, if she ain't the girl in the photos, send her away or you'll end up like me, looking at the cat o'nine tails that an unattractive girl brought with her and forgot, in her haste to get away from the pervert that just hired her for an hour.
