first, that is so over priced...though it's vegas so it might be actually cheap considering.
i can't believe people even let this kind of stuff happen.

: We see some pretty bizarre lawsuits at times around here, but
: Consumerist points us to one that takes bizarre lawsuits to a
: new level - involving a guy suing an escort firm for almost
: getting him arrested, even though the potential arrest only came
: after he called the police himself, upset that the woman did not
: stay long enough. Apparently, a college student named Hubert
: Blackman went to Las Vegas last month and ordered a stripper to
: come to his room at the Stratosphere. He apparently paid $155
: for a lap dance, and then an additional $120 for a sex act.
:
: The next morning, he demanded a refund from the firm he had
: called for the stripper, saying she didn't stay the full hour he
: had paid for and also telling them that since he was drunk, he
: couldn't have legally agreed to the sex act. When the company
: refused, the guy called the police, who politely explained to
: him that he had broken the law in hiring a prostitute and that
: they should arrest him. Somehow, he avoided arrest, but rather
: than drop matters, he went back to New York and filed a lawsuit
: in which part of the complaint is that "I almost had gotten
: arrested," after "An escort did an illegal sexual act
: on me during her paid service to me." The guy even admits
: he knew that prostitution was illegal in Vegas. However, he's
: demanding the firm be shut down, his $275 back... and another
: $1.8 million for good measure. It kind of makes you wonder if
: he's going to actually get arrested this time...
