In an age when streaming video of adult stars in real time is as simple as pressing a button, phone sex seems as archaic as a horse-pulled carriage on streets today. Yet, iWantEmpire.com began offering phone sex as a service just over a year ago to complement its video clips offering. 45-year old sex industry worker Michelle Lovejoy was dressed in blue jeans, a tank top and black-rimmed glasses as she hung out at a lounge on the show floor. ‘’I can’t tell you how many people say, ‘Phone sex, who calls phone sex anymore?’ People think this industry is completely dead and obsolete. My phone is ringing just as much as ever,’’ said Lovejoy.

Cocktail waitresses at the The Mirage, then run by Steve Wynn, were pressured by supervisors to have sex with casino customers dating as far back as 1989 and during that time one server claimed the casino mogul pressured her into having sex, according to a court filing. The claims could have been made public nearly two decades ago, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal decided against publishing the story in 1998. Two of the cocktail servers spoke to RJ reporter Carri Geer. Geer said she remembers then-publisher Sherman Frederick saying the woman should undergo lie detector tests. But after the polygraph results came back, Geer said she was ordered to delete the story she had written. But she saved a printout of the story, the court records from the case, the polygraph results and the $600 bill for the polygraph examinations. “I always wanted to tell these women’s stories. That’s why I saved this file for 20 years.” – Carri Geer

Billionaire Steve Wynn faced allegations of pressuring a waitress into sex about 30 years ago. He allegedly told the woman he had “never had a grandmother before” and wanted “to see how it feels,” according to a court document and interviews with the Review-Journal. Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, was accused of sexual misconduct with several employees in a Wall Street Journal story published last week. Wynn has denied the allegations in the Journal report. The woman, who is now 75, said her supervisor told her she had to have sex with Wynn to keep her job at the Mirage, according to her account and a sworn statement by Earlene Wiggins. Wynn, 76, has not responded to multiple requests from the Review-Journal for an interview.
