That's why I always pay my models up front. Sharing future revenue just doesn't work.

Vegas is an interesting place to find models, but many are more high-scale than in other markets. While Hollywood is about models getting by doing photo/video projects more reasonably, cash and TFP, Vegas models are influenced by the Casino Hotel shows, where they can earn pretty big bucks as background dancers, runway models, or trade show eye candy.

Not to mention well-to-do call boys who spend the night with well-to-do out-of-towners, for whom what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I have some great scenes that I shot here in Vegas. But I can take it or leave it. Financially, I can't compete with Hotel shows and tourists that can pay more.
