About

Behind the glittering façade of Las Vegas lies a disturbing story of sex trafficking, corruption, celebrity, and institutional failure. 

In Vegas Concierge, investigative journalist Brian Joseph takes readers deep inside a decade-long investigation into domestic sex trafficking in Las Vegas. Moving from luxury hotel rooms on the Strip to police departments, newsrooms, and the corridors of power, Joseph reveals how an investigation meant to protect vulnerable women became entangled in corruption, competing interests, and serious law-enforcement failures. 

Drawing on public and private records as well as exclusive firsthand accounts, Joseph examines the interconnected worlds of trafficking, law enforcement, the FBI, journalism, celebrity, and the Las Vegas entertainment scene. His investigation exposes not only how official efforts can become compromised, but also the devastating consequences for victims when institutions fail to protect them.

Meticulously researched and compellingly told, Vegas Concierge is both an absorbing work of investigative journalism and a sobering examination of America's response to sex trafficking. It challenges readers to look beyond the glamour of Sin City and confront the human cost of exploitation, corruption, and indifference.
