Hookers are disreputable individuals for the most part.
I know also that many times security, or hotel employees will be in on the theft too if the hooker approaches them. Remember these people make minimum wage.
A couple of years ago during the World Series of Poker in Vegas, a bunch of professional players had someone just walk in their rooms and steal all their cash out of their safes at the Rio while they were downstairs playing. Of course the Rio did not catch the robber(s) even with the abundance of cameras they have (gimme a break). That whole incident reeked of an inside job. Of course the casino/hotels don’t usually want to help you because 1. They could know security/employee is in on it, and that opens them up to huge liability and lawsuit. 2. The security personnel on property that you report the thefts to may very well be in on the theft.
A former BJ teammate of mine was staying at the Rio once and left about $4,000 on his dresser, along with a $300 pair of sunglasses. He went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he got out, everything on the dresser was gone. So definitely keep your eyes open at the Rio as I’m fairly certain inside jobs are common place there.
What I always do when I travel is never use the safe. If a robber gets into my room the first place they are going for is the safe. I usually will stash my cash in a private compartment that’s not easy to find, even if you ripped my room apart. Without getting too specific, this usually means hidden compartments in your luggage, hidden areas in your clothes, hidden in your stack of dirty underwear, or a place in the room a thief wouldn’t think to look. Just always keep it on your person with something like a zipper jacket, man purse, or whatever you want to utilize that you carry everywhere with you. This is what I do.
My advice is stay away from the safes in general, and always keep your eyes and ears open. Never let your guard down. Especially for some of us who carry life changing amounts of money in cash. This is not just about prostitution, but also a good general rule. For example after a big win and get my chips cashed out, I always look around if someone is watching me or following me, or following me while on a cellphone. I’ll take a detour if I suspect someone.
Keeping your money on your person wherever you go is always best imho. Another option is to keep the money in high denomination chips since no hooker is gonna be able to break down a 5k chip or 1k chips and get away with cashing it in without drawing some very serious attention. Though this is usually burdensome, so I just keep the cash on me at all times.
