Your friends were out of their league. They couldn't call the cops, they had no place to turn because they are away from home, they had no idea what might happen if they demanded their money back.
Why not? I thought prostitution was legal in Las Vegas. Call the cops and tell them these ho's tried to scam you.:D

Not withing city limits, IIRC.

you should find out the hotel and post it's name. the girls were helped by hotel staff, so expose them for scamming guests.

Should have brought the fake badges with them. Could have gotten a freebie out of it.

As others have said, it is not legal in Clark County (Vegas Area).

Head Northwest up US95 to Parhump. 1 hr across the mountain range - legal there.

Mayor Goodman spouted off this summer some nonsense stating that how is was so available, why not legalize it.

Driving up US93 or 95 every hour or so, you will see indicators for a "ranch".

why do you pay them before they perform the service ?

Make arrangements on payment. Get service. Pay.

While I appreciate being corrected for the fifth time, I would advise you to look at the date of the original posts.
