Many parlors offer male patrons what is called a Happy Ending, or in some cases a Full Girlfriend Experience for an extra fee. These specialties are not taught in accredited massage therapy schools (http://www.massageschoolsguide.com/massage_schools_nevada.htm#vegas). There are those who suspect certain Strip hotel and casino owners actually condone the nearby massage parlors and escort services that supply a quick release to male casino patrons. The alternative is a five or six hour round trip to Nye County where prostitution is legal. Casino insiders tell INSIDE VEGAS that trips to Nye County take gamblers away from the tables for too long, so quickies with escorts or Asian masseuses are tolerated in the hotels or just down the street in our town's neighborhood shopping centers. This may be the reason that Clark County District Attorney David Roger (http://www.twistedbadge.com/story_articles/id_242/) has joined with the NBMT commissioners in ignoring the problem. The commissioners are appointed by the governor. The governor and DA solicit campaign contributions from the casino owners who don't like it when their gamblers lollygag for half the night and spend thousands at Sheri's, or the Chicken Ranch (http://living-las-vegas.com/2005/02/over-the-hump-to-the-brothels-in-pahrump/) sixty miles away.For many years Nevada Board of Massage Therapy board members: Billie Shea (Chairman) Reno; Michelle Viesselman (Vice Chairman) Las Vegas; Robin Graber (Secretary/Treasurer) Reno; Joe Cracraft (Board Member) Las Vegas; Michael Smith (Board Member) Las Vegas; Tree Allemang (Board Member) Reno; Kathleen Pilgreen (Board Member) Las Vegas; Sergeant Lenny Lorusso (Advisory Member) C/O Las Vegas Metro PD, have ignored out of control prostitution and human sex slave trafficking occurring in our neighborhood massage parlors.

He is now set to sell two of his three Nevada brothels for a handsome profit.
