I had two of my most memorable encounters with prostitutes in Atlantic City, years ago.

I went looking for a seafood restaurant, and was stopped by a cute young drug adict who asked if I wanted to rent him for a couple of minutes. I told him I was only looking for seafood, so he told me I was on the wrong side of the street for that: I was walking on the "wild side."

Immediately on crossing the street, I was met by his twin sister, who pretty much made me the same offer, with a little more "oomph" to her voice. That faded as soon as I explained that she had misunderstood my conversation with Spike, and that I really was looking for a seafood restaurant, not an alternate companion-of-the-moment.

Finally, I found the restaurant, where I was told they had no catch-of-the-day, but I was welcome to try the catch-of-the-week.

So, I took the $77.00 I had won earlier that day and promptly went back to the casino, and gave it back to Mr. Trump. 

So, does AC have any other businesses these days? Seems not. 

 I am that twin sister. 

Soliciting a prostitute in Atlantic City.  Not exactly the crime of the century.   Only apology Wyatt owes is for resisting arrest. And AP owes an apology for even reporting it, which does nothing but embarass the kid, his family and his school,...for no valid reason.    Like marijuana possession, prostitution should be regulated and taxed, not prosecuted.  FWIW, I have never been with a prostitute, but I have always been comforted by knowing that they are out there.  

There are prostitutes in Atlantic City? Next thing you know, they'll be in Las Vegas.

 If there was a "like" button, I woiuld hit it for Bigfan's post.  (Gambling at Ricks?  I am shocked...shocked.)

They were'nt a complete surprise. The surprise was that one side of the street was for males, one for females, and I was charged with being ignorant of the rules. Heck, I didn't even know I was playing that game.

Igor, my guess is that if you were wearing your tennis whites, we'd at least have played a game of doubles. But the total slut look is a little off-putting, as are stray facial hairs. It did not work then, won't work now.

I agree with your opinions on the economics of the institution, etc. I've only represented a couple of them, but they have had interesting opinions on reporting income, etc. No hearts of gold. But one or two who paid the bill, and would qualify under any standard as "good, paying clients."
