  1. Well it depends on what you like to do. Not too much to add but I will second the free little show in front of TI http://www.treasureisland.com/shows/sirens_of_ti.php and the Volcano at Mirage and the Fountains at Bellagio. You can watch the fountains of Bellagio from the top of the Eiffel tower. You can see the strip and surrounds way up high (and grab a drink or ride some rides) on top of the Stratosphere Tower. The conservatory and glass ceiling at Bellagio is neat to see as well. http://0.tqn.com/d/govegas/1/0/m/Q/1/chihulybell2.jpg

     

    For the paid shows, besides the various Cirque ones (i.e. O, Mystere, Zumanity) and La Reve, there is Rock of Ages, and my own favorite, Absinthe.

     

    There is the Freemont Street Experience, downtown. You can also get your picture taken with 1mil in cash for free at Binion's (formerly Horseshoe) http://www.binions.com/million_dollar_photo.php . If you are into it, you can go eat downtown at the Heart Attack Grill http://www.heartattackgrill.com/ where you eat free if you are 350lbs or more! Finally a place I have always wanted to check out but haven't yet... drink and drag http://www.drinkanddrag.com/index.php looks like a lot of fun.

     

    Perhaps you want to get a drink and watch the Lake of Dreams show at Wynn Las Vegas at Parasol Up or Parasol Down. http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/Restaurants/BarLounges/ParasolDown

     

    Away from the casino areas, there is the National Pinball Hall of Fame which is fun if you like pinball. http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

     

    And my favorite website for info : http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/ Check out the top 10 list for some deals or even learn about transportation, pools, or gay Las Vegas.

     

    Enjoy your trip.

  2. My goodness, what happened here? I'm pretty sure the guy didn't call you stupid. He said that he considers discrimination to be stupid. Your use of the comma after the word discrimination, shows that you meant to call him stupid, while his failure to use the comma indicates that it is the discrimination, and not you, that he felt was stupid. Even if it's up in the air, why would you jump to that conclusion and then subject everyone else to the budding war of words between you?

     

    And just because the law is routinely and flagrantly ignored by the very people to whom it's meant to apply, doesn't make your point, but actually only further demonstrates that your opponent is in the right, in that people go to such lengths to mask their illegal behavior. Whether escorts provide a service akin to housing, or other service industries seems to be the operative analogy in question in this conversation. But if you're going to cite the illegal actions of bigoted landlords, then it seems that you've ceded the central point and the moral high ground. The idea that you wouldn't want an escort with racial prejudices in his romantic/sexual attractions going through with the session seems indistinguishable (to me) from the argument that a couple wouldn't want a prejudiced service provider making their wedding cake or catering their event. As a practical matter, that's likely true, but it completely fails to grapple with the heart of the issue at hand.

     

    Thanks for your comment. I did not call anyone names but wow did I get personally attacked. Your understanding of my post was correct. I am not going to respond to the personal attack so no need to worry about a war.

  3. And discrimination isn't stupid. Making a distinction is celebrated when it's a Brad Pitt. We celebrated his distinctive looks, his distinctive lifestyle and his distinctive success. But he discriminated himself into his life because he chose one way over many others. Some people prefer single-story homes, some people prefer townhouses, some people drive 4-door cars, some people drive 2-door cars - none of these are stupid reasons to discriminate - they are simply preferences.

     

    I can understand why any escort would reject and appointment with someone of a different race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability, but only from the standpoint of his preferences. I don't see his preferences as a prejudiced. The escort knows better than anyone how he will perform in this most physically intimate encounter.Why should he, in the name of anti-discrimination, place himself in a situation where he already knows he risks underperforming even failing to satisfy the client?

     

    It is my preference to consider discrimination stupid.

     

    It doesn't matter what you understand or agree with - people who provide goods and/or services to the public aren't allowed to make discriminatory or predjudicial calls. If you are paying for sex, well that is illegal in most jurisdictions, and breaking anti-discrimination laws wouldn't really matter. If you are paying for nothing but the TIME of an escort offering his services to the public - sorry but it is not legal to refuse service on the basis of any protected category, period. So no- they wouldn't have to have sex with anyone they wouldn't want to have sex with but any escort refusing to spend time with any client in a protected class would be in violation of the law. I am not agreeing with it or saying it makes sense to force an escort to make an appointment with anyone he couldn't perform with -- its just what it is-- the law. Try posting an apartment for rent ad in your local newspaper and state a preference for white folks only or that you descriminate against non Christians or that people with over 8 inch cocks only need apply and see for yourself.

  4. I can vouch that both JLA and Rod Hagen are very good at what they do, and you should have a good time with either (or both!).

     

    However, as awesome as JLA is,* I don't know if he'd be ideal for a first-time bottom. Don't get me wrong, he's very skilled. But he's also very well endowed. For one's first time, you may want to build your way up to that. On the other hand, I have no doubt he knows how to handle himself so the bottom isn't hurt or anything like that. But you may not want to take your first swimming lesson in the deep end of the pool, if you get my drift. ...

     

    Never met RH but I have always liked his very inclusive advertising. I have met JLA and would enthusiastically recommend him for anyone from first time bottom to used and abused size queen :p JLA is just a totally awesome dude and he is good at making you feel good.

     

    People have long argued is it the size of the boat or the motion of the ocean. As previously discussed in other threads, there are guys like JLA who have the skill to not make it hurt.

     

     

    To the other point about discriminatory preferences in providing services. If we agree that escorting is a legitimate business it might not be ok. Take for example the Santa Monica California Municipal Code:

     

    6.104.090 Requirements for all massage establishments and massage technicians

    (ee) All massage establishments must comply with all State and Federal laws and regulations for disabled customers. No massage establishment, operator, responsible employee or massage technician may discriminate or exclude patrons on the basis of race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability.

     

    this would lead me to beleive that you can clearly refuse a massge to an ovwerweight person but you could not refuse service to the same person for being a woman or being old etc.

     

    Of course in anyones personal life (not businesses and services to the public) you can discriminate for whatever stupid reason you so choose. A legitimate business or service may not have the right to do this.

  5. Are you sure those are old picture of Eric Hanson- dark haired muscular guy who used to advertise mainly in Florida? Because I used to look at his pictures all the time. And I just found a few on the Internet. And even the bit of face shown seems different than what I remember Eric looking like.

    Gman

     

    Sorry for any confusion but I was saying that the pics in the ad are NOT of Eric Hanson.

  6. Are we allowed to name dead actors as if they were living and still in their prime?

    [thinking of the Belgian guy who shot himself in the head on set playing around with what he thought were harmless blanks ... can't recall

    his name at the moment ... what a total waste of hunkhood ]

     

    The first guy that comes to mind is Jon-Erik Hexum, but he was an American and his parents were Norwegian decent. Is this your guy? http://wetmen.provocateuse.com/images/photos/jon_erik_hexum_07.jpg
