Upon my first walk along the Las Vegas Strip I noticed a clicking sound from the edges of the moving crowds. Looking over I noticed lines of short hispanic people (mostly illegal immigrants) handing out business cards with phone numbers. They would make the clicking sounds with the cards and then try and hand them to you. Some people would take the cards and then throw them to the ground immediately. Some were collectiong them like baseball cards. Looking down, the sidewalk was littered with these cards that featured pictures of naked women, a sexy sales ploy and a phone number. Essentially, these cards are advertising that you could have a stripper in your hotel room in as little as 10 minutes. According to the people I spoke with at the hotel these ’strippers’ were actually prostitutes. In Las Vegas, prosititution is illegal so ’they’ get around this law by advertising these girls as ’strippers’. Here are some pictures of the people handing out the cards that I took early on in the evening. As it gets later more and more of these card givers appear and the sidewalks get covered in a thick layer of discarded girlie cards.
