点评:The strip has become a very busy and expensive place and unfortunately has many different types of scammers lurking to extract money from unsuspecting tourists.
The most common hustle (or scam as it is called outside of the USA) is girls dressed in fancy dress posing as 'show girls'. They will approach you and badger you into taking a photograph with them and then afterwards asking for a very large tip and / or take fraudulent payments.
This type of hustle has been going on for some time it seems, but they have now stepped up a gear by setting a price, having their partner distract you at a critical moment allowing them to secretly add a multiple to the amount they showed you to tap on your payment card. I got caught with a charge of nearly US$150, nine times more than I had reluctantly agreed to pay for a photograph that I didn't want anyway and which took 1 minute of theirs and our time.
Watch out, these ladies are everywhere and really a nuisance.
翻译:这条街现在人潮涌动,消费也高,不幸的是,形形色色的骗子潜伏其中,伺机从毫无戒心的游客身上榨取钱财。
最常见的骗局(在美国以外的地方被称为“诈骗”)是一些穿着奇装异服的女孩冒充“歌舞女郎”。她们会走过来,纠缠你和她们合影,然后索要巨额小费,或者收取虚假付款。
这种骗局似乎已经存在一段时间了,但现在她们的手段更加高明:她们会先定好价格,然后让同伙在你付款的关键时刻分散你的注意力,趁机偷偷地在你刷卡时多付几倍的金额。我就被骗了将近150美元,是我勉强同意支付的九倍,而我根本不想要那张照片,而且那张照片只浪费了我们彼此一分钟的时间。
大家一定要小心,这些女人无处不在,而且真的很烦人。
