Vegas Concierge tells the tale of domestic sex trafficking in America through the riveting inside story of a decade-long investigation into sex trafficking, police corruption, and hip-hop music in Sin City.
A layered saga spanning more than a decade, Vegas Concierge moves from the luxury hotel rooms of the Las Vegas Strip to the inner offices of the Las Vegas police and some of Nevada's biggest news organizations. Using publice and private records as well as exclusive, first-person accounts from primary sources, this book shows how prostitutes and pimps ply their trade, how police and the FBI trip on themselves and their investigations become compromised, and how self-interest corrupts news organizations and the corridors of power. More than anything, this book examines the disregard American society has towards sex trafficking victims. Vegas Concierge ties together intersecting worlds via a diverse array of characters who played roles in this sordid tale about police corruption and incompetence, the price of celebrity, and the culture of Sin City.

Vegas Concierge by Brian Joseph offers a deep dive into the dark underworld of sex trafficking in the United States. Joseph exposes the grim realities faced by both victims and perpetrators, urging readers to confront the uncomfortable truths surrounding this prolific crime. By highlighting the psychological manipulation and coercion tactics employed by traffickers, Joseph sheds light on the insidious nature of exploitation, rising above the far too common misconception that victims have a choice to walk away. With a delicate balance of empathy and accountability, Joseph amplifies the voices of survivors while condemning the actions of their exploiters, ultimately issuing a powerful call to action against the indifference that can perpetuate sex trafficking. Vegas Concierge stands as a sobering and thought-provoking exploration of the crime of our time: sex trafficking in modern America.
