Full Description
A layered saga, Vegas Conciergespans more than a decade and includes world-famous stars, violent "gorilla" pimps, crooked and honest cops, struggling journalists, ambitious FBI agents, influential casino executives, and high-profile political figures. It tells the inside story of this failed investigation and its countless twists, moving from the luxury hotel rooms of the Las Vegas Strip to the inner offices of the Las Vegas police, to the newsrooms of some of Nevada's biggest news organizations. Using confidential records available to no one else as well as exclusive, first-person accounts from primary sources, this book shows how prostitutes and pimps ply their trade, how police departments and the FBI trip on themselves and become hopelessly compromised, and how self-interest corrupts news organizations and the corridors of power. More than anything, this book examines the disregard American society has towards sex trafficking victims. Vegas Concierge ties together intersecting worlds via a diverse array of characters who played roles in this sordid tale about police corruption and incompetence, the price of celebrity, and the culture of Sin City.
