AC Hit By Craigslist
Crackdown Fallout
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Self-proclaimed ';call girls'; tell it like it is, saying the craigslist crackdown has forced them to look for business inside casinos.
Many of the women say that craigslist was safer because it took them off the streets soliciting, reported Fox 29%26#39;s Shawnette Wilson. Others say it%26#39;s simply about getting more cash if you work the casinos. But many of these women quickly found out that working the casinos is just as much a gamble as prostituting on the street.
';I was arrested right on Pacific Avenue,'; says one woman who doesn%26#39;t want to be identified for safety reasons. She admits she is a prostitute.
She%26#39;s one of more than two dozen women arrested by Atlantic City Police Special Investigations Unit in a prostitution sweep over the weekend.
';We arrested 27 adults and one juvenile,” says Sgt. Rodney Ruark of Atlantic City Police.
But this wasn%26#39;t your typical sweep. While some were arrested on the street, others, like one 34-year-old, were working the casinos.
';We were in Caesars and we were at the bar and were approached by undercover state officers and we went from Caesars to the Tropicana,'; says the woman.
Police say casino managers turned them on to the women, complaining that they were working the lobbies and the bars at five different casinos including Showboat, Taj Mahal and Caesars.
';We dispatched the officers to the different lobbies and lounges that we received the complaints on,'; says Sgt. Ruark.
Police say some of the women said they abandoned the streets for the casinos after craigslist came under fire for its erotic services ads, many soliciting sex.
The Internet site started banning the ads on May 13. One prostitute says soliciting on craigslist was safer than being on the streets but now that it%26#39;s no longer an option, casinos are the latest safe haven.
';You have people watching so you’re not as capable of getting hurt as you are outside,'; she tells Fox 29.
Another admitted prostitute says working the casinos is more about getting the top dollar. ';Some girls might think it%26#39;s more money.';
Many casino patrons say they are thankful to Atlantic City Police for getting right on top of the problem as soon as they heard of it from casino managers.
Career Gals come out of the keyboards and into the streets

Tell that to the murder victims up of the so called Craig%26#39;s List killer.

was really suprised back in late april when on 2 seperate occasions i was approached at harrahs. one was an obvious pro
but the other looked no older than my college age sons,and except for the fact that she smiled and wanted to engage in conversation with a 50 (ok 49) out of shape marrioed guy id have never suspected she was a pro by looking at her.
We were at Caesar%26#39;s a couple of weeks ago, and the %26#39;working girls%26#39; were all over the Toga Bar! They were SO obvious, it reminded me of our stay at the Las Vegas Hilton, where it apparently is just considered to be part of the LV experience. Not a part I particularly appreciated, so I hope AC doesn%26#39;t follow suit.

I%26#39;m particularly amused by the last line: ';Many casino patrons say they are thankful to Atlantic City Police for getting right on top of the problem as soon as they heard of it from casino managers.'; Getting right on top of the problem doesn%26#39;t sound quite right when we%26#39;re talking call girls.
As for AC police cracking down on the problem because it%26#39;s no longer allowed on Craiglist, I%26#39;m with Bill - there have been ';professional'; women in AC for as long as I%26#39;ve been coming here, and they%26#39;ve had other crackdowns. Pretty much every year, it seems. Makes for good press for AC and the ACPD, tho.
Go to Ceasars bar downstairs and the Borgota bar and you will see Call Girls. I was approached by two from Cali who who wanted $700 a piece. I found out that Ceasars management thru them out. Also there are 2 Koreans who walk around the Taj slot/bar. I guess they accept quarters for payment.
hey gangster. no doubt most of us guys have been approached,but had to laugh at the fact you took the time to learn what the going rate was? just joking.
gansta what did the 700 entail? do you know if they would charge extra if a midget was involved?

I have been approached by working gals b4, but never that much money, $700 each gives me a clue to the poster%26#39;s looks
