Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
A 2004 British book making its U.S. paperback debut, Sheehan's examination of sex-based businesses in America's mecca for hedonists depends on interviews with a variety of sex workers and entrepreneurs. Consequently, the line between titillation and reportage is heavily trod. Nevertheless, Sheehan conveys a plausible sense of what services are actually available, regardless of various disclaimers and legal descriptions. The interviewees defend their occupations on comparative moral grounds, and they offer insights into, say, the kind of customer who spends big bucks on a no-contact lap dance. Sheehan is also a helpful tipster who includes lists of "Off-Duty Hangouts for Hot Bodies" (i.e., where to find "smokin' strippers after hours") and the top 10 "outlandish requests" put to strippers (from "No, no . . . keep your top on" to "How 'bout I give you a lap dance?"). To prospective Vegas conference attendees, Sheehan's effort well might prove invaluable, descriptions of sexual situations and all. For stay-at-homes, it's a good read-alike to Legs McNeil and Jennifer Osborne's The Other Hollywood (2005). Mike Tribby

Seriously Flawed, Glib, Boring, Shallow
23. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Most of this book seems to focus on the "adult" video industry, with a hefty portion of wife swapping thrown in. The former is pretty much a LA industry, and the latter is more of a realm for perverted hobbyists than part of the Las Vegas sex business. The book cruises along for quite a while before getting to the meat and potatoes of prostitution and "gentlemen's clubs" in Vegas. Those parts of the book at least have some interest, but the author wastes too much paper, ink and readers' time on the personal history of each and every stripper, hooker, and wannabe that he interviews. It seems that there is much to be written about the BUSINESS of sex in Vegas, and even more about how that business is carried out, and by whom. Sadly, this is not the book for that.

Not exactly a totally accurate book
13. Februar 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As one who has owned both an Extoic Dancer Web site and a Las Vegas Escort Web site, I have met known and photgraphed dancers and escorts going back to 1997 anf quiter frankly a lot of information is just not right. While those he interviewed those things might be true, but in general they seem out od whack with the many ladies I have known. This is true particularly for the escorts, as anyone with any brains can see that escorts don't start out at $500 for an hour. Don't waste money on this book, is mostly a lot of hype and while you might find it entertaining, there is just too much that is flat out wrong. There are better books I am sure if you want to get the lowdown on the adult industry in Vegas.

What a dissapointing book
23. Februar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I have never posted a review before, but felt the need to do so after reading half of this utterly useless book. I am a voracious reader who loves stories about Las vegas, but this book is not worth your time. I feel like a sucker for buying it and hope that I can save someone else from wasting their money.
