ah thanks, i will have to call them i guess because the one that caught my eye did not have a website per se in the ad.  well i suppose i need to research quicker nice dinners too, easy to spend 2+ hrs at a nice restaurant, but am not looking to spend that sort of money.  

Welcome back to hunting,

One thing you need to realize (especially here in LAs Vegas) is that these women are professionals. Meaning this is their "workplace". And if you take away their time, that's work for them. When you take them out on a dinner - whether you realize it or not - they have to show their best side because they want to impress you. Now that's work too even though it is not in the bedroom. A real escort knows that providing companionship is just as much work as being in the bedroom.
If you have a regular 9-5 job, you get compensated by the hour as well. And if you do a lot of work (what you are hired for) 40 minutes per hour, then the company will not just pay you for 40 minutes, they pay you for an hour whether you spent the rest of your  20 minutes with actual work or you were just browsing a dating site.

If you want someone you have 2 options:
Send out emails to providers asking if they are fine with the way you want to compensate them (do not expect much from it)
OR
Hire a semi-professional. But in that case do not expect professional performance either!

Thanks for the replies. I will continue to search the reviews more (just slow on my phone). I may have to eat a nice meal alone as I estimate the cost of a nice meal will be 400 and the so far the dinner date options I've found are over 1200-1500 so perhaps I was unrealistic with my hopes of under 1000 plus the cost of a nice dinner but I now understand completely about how the clock works
Thanks

. . . you have to pay for playtime.

I go to dinner with providers all the time, back home and in Vegas, but never have to pay for her time for it. If you see a lady a few times and she likes you, she would ask you to take her out for dinner. If you want to initiate, just ask her if she wants to grab a bite with you. Without pressure and don't make it a big deal. It helps if you're a repeat customer but one time a first-time provider took me out for dinner after our first meeting and now she is my ATF.

I don't think going to top dining spots would entice the provider. I suspect that they'd rather have good company. I would use the cash for playtime and, if the chemistry is there, invite for to a nice inexpensive restaurant. IMO, Those high-priced restaurants are overrated anyway.

But that's just me.

From my experience, the really cool providers will not expect dinner time to be paid for.  Suggest you verify when you first contact provider.  Then make your choice.  Also, inviting provider to have a drink before playtime is also a lot of fun and gives you a chance to get acquainted.  Good Luck!
