"Entertainment" found with fast food

Just getting a burger at a local fast-food chain can turn up surprises when you live in Las Vegas.
Photographer Sarah Gerke discovered a handful of business cards available to all customers in full view of the Wendy's employees at the register.
But these cards are not supposed to be at a neighborhood Wendy's. Anyone who has walked the Strip is familiar with these business cards: They offer photographs of nearly naked women in provocative poses.
One typical card had a photograph of two ladies kissing along with a phone number and the words: "$200 for both of us."
My favorite, though, was a two-sided card advertising photographs for Alison on one side and for Bella on the other. The photos appeared to be the identical woman, and the phone number was the same, too. But if you want to meet her as Alison, that costs "$125 No Hidden Fees," and to meet her as Bella costs "$150 No Hidden Fees."

While the Wendy's employees seemed to be fine with the cards being there, Gerke and I decided to take all these special business cards with us because there are a lot of kids in my neighborhood.
This morning I called Alison/Bella to find out what service she is offering with "No Hidden Fees," in her own words.
Despite the call coming in the early morning hours, way before traditional businesses open, the young lady did not seem surprised at all at hearing from me. At least not at first.
So what is available with no hidden fees? I was told "enterainment" by the lady who answered the phone. Follow-up questions, though, quickly brought my conversation with Alison/Bella or whoever she was to an abrupt end.
