Once she has your money, she has lost most of the incentive to actually show up for the appointment. Then if she is NCNS, all you can do is complain about it here. Do yourself a favor and contact other providers until you find somebody with a more realistic booking policy.

I was just back in Vegas for 6 nights a few weeks ago.
There is way too many hot providers there that won't ask for a deposit like this.

Too many things can go wrong, and you don't need any negativity and possible drama issues during your trip.

I have sent a couple hundred to 2 different ladies (each that I have had multiple dates with, I might add) using western union.  

1 worked out great, the other not so good.

I wouldn't be comfortable sending anything to someone I haven't met.

Good luck!

wait until a week or so before you go and then reach out to the lady(s) you want to meet. Meanwhile, make a list of those that perk your interest so you are ready to go when the time comes.

As others have said, not much good can happen with you sending money to someone you haven't met.

Personally, I only ask for a deposit if someone has repeatedly scheduled weeks in advance only to cancel a few days out.  This is mentioned on my website and in my email signature too.  

 
As to this lady, I'd politely explain you don't feel comfy sending a deposit.  Then ask her what is the furthest out she's willing to reserve your date WITHOUT  a deposit.  

My guess is this lady has had enough experiences where gentlemen have booked far in advance only to continue "shopping around"; and have then cancelled on her after finding someone else. By that time she may have already turned down other serious date requests and thus considers this to be money lost.  

 
Deposits are generally just a way to insure that the gentleman is indeed serious and intending to keep his date.  I'd guess that Vegas ladies likely get more window-shoppers and tire-kickers than most, so it doesn't shock me that a popular lady might have such a policy.  

Because I have seen too many high end popular providers flake.  They seem exceptionally sweet as can be but they are also window shopping.  If a better deal comes around then you will get bumped and it is probably 50/50 whether or not you will ever see your money back.  Some who do not intend to give you your money back may write a very sweet email that will tell you basically that she will treat you like a king and will just hold onto it for your next trip.   Then you start to get pissed.  You realize that you are powerless.   You can't even write a review.  So you post something.   Also pointless.  Gaga will call you out for being an idiot.  Then you will get pissed again.  Attempt to defend yourself, feel as though you were misunderstood, but will eventually move on.  Then you will be pissed that you wasted so much of your time.  Generally speaking, that is how it works if things go awry.  And somehow YOU will look like a creep that can't let things go and she will look like an innocent victim who engenders sympathy.  Don't be that guy.

Deposits

Hi there! Established provider here. I require deposits for all of my multi hour clients. ESPECIALLY in Las Vegas... here's why. I'm planning say 2 hours with you... that will require me to front initial costs for a room, possibly travel, house sitter, etc. I will meet you looking like a million bucks from my perfectly done hair to my expensively made up face. I'll be wearing lingerie that costs two car payments, shoes that cost a couple of mortgage payments and you'll be arriving to a suite or private residence that is triple my own housing costs. The likelihood that you will cancel our appointment in Vegas is about 45%, so I'm taking a HUGE gamble fronting those costs to meet you. Additionally, I've blocked off 2 hours before our appointment and 2 hours after so that I can be completely fresh, ready for and present with you. I'm only getting paid for the 2 hours we are together, even though I am allotting 6 to our time together. PLUS I have to screen you and do my own research to make sure you are safe, which can take another hour or 2. Expecting you to pay 25% of the cost of our time together allows me to make those investments assured that they will be at least covered.  

I didn't always require deposits. Man, was that was an expensive learning phase for me. I lost THOUSANDS of dollars. Now that I require them, I only see clients who aren't going to waste my time, effort or resources with their indecisiveness. I'm giving my time to people who demonstrate that they are serious about our mutual good time together. I occasionally run into people in my inbox who are horrified that I require deposits, but I don't mind walking away from things that don't work for me or my business and wishing them well on their way.

Some of you may gasp here... but several of my companions even PREPAY our time together. It's like letting me cum first, meeting my needs before bringing me theirs. I can't tell you what a difference it makes in my companion relationships when we treat one another with trust, good faith, humor and assured reciprocation.

I can't believe hookers asking for deposit before paid session.I get no hookers wants to lose money.Paid sessions without strings.

That's cool for these guys. Not everyone is comfortable jumping to that level. The point of this post was to let you know that it is considered normal practice in some parts of this world/industry whatever you want to call it.  

The best advice I can give you in determining whether it is the right choice for YOU is to determine whether  

1. the provider is reputable, established and has a website with this policy clearly stated. If so, she isn't likely to mess around with your money. Remember, her business is dependent upon her consistency. High end providers don't have room to mess up on this, and they won't. If there is an emergency and she has to cancel, you'll get your money back.  

2. your circumstances are not threatened by the risk of a transfer. Some guys are able to keep their business discrete and private, some are not. This requires a certain level of stealth and skill on your part, as well as courage and nerves.  

3. you are willing to be as trusting with your escort as you are expecting her to be with you. some people are, some are not. many of us feel a fair exchange makes a best exchange.  

4. you recognize that your relationships are your responsibility. If you are wary of sending a deposit, is it because you are worried you didn't choose a safe provider? if so, go back to step 1.

Each lady is of course able to implement her own policies ...
  But on this subject I think it is absolutely imperative to have it posted on ones website .
  Where are you by chance requesting a 12 to 24 hour rendezvous ? ..
  ~
I myself do not require a deposit unless I am flying to you or promising myself to 24/48 hours or longer.
I do require light hand holding threw flirty email/text/private message communication until you arrive in my city and our smiles connect.   If  hey gentlemen goes missing in action during the "hand holding"  time I delete the rendezvous from my calendar and except a new invitations .
Has it always worked for me? No.  
Am I going to change my policy? No.

Contacted the provider about a month in advance since I was visiting her city. She requested a deposit of half since she said she would be planning her month around my appointment. I'd seen her before, she was apologetic when asking for deposit of half, and since I'd seen her before, I could see her for a cheaper rate. Since I'd seen her before and trusted her, I sent her the whole donation upfront. And I had a great appointment when it came appointment time.

For your situation, how much is the deposit? And does this provider have good reviews? If this was someone well established and the deposit amount wasn't exorbitant, I probably would do it.

I require deposits if the client has history of canceling appts in the past. When I'm traveling anywhere that isn't around the DMV area I am requiring deposits now. I have to make sure that I am covering my expenses for the trip. Previously I had few cancelations and Im not risking it anymore.
