A wealthy tourist’s $1,000 tryst with a Las Vegas prostitute ended up being a very costly mistake after she took off with his jewels that cost nearly $120,000.
The plaintiff met the high-priced escort, identified as Maiah Meleschi, after a night of gambling at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino located on the glitzy Las Vegas strip on July 26, 2022. 
The next morning the man woke up alone in his bed and discovered Meleschi was gone – and so was his $85,000 Rolex, $30,000 gold necklace, and $3,000 in cash.
The man reported the incident to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Surveillance footage showed the initial meeting and then Meleschi exiting the hotel wearing a large gold chain and watch, as per a police report, local 8NewsNow reported. 
A warrant had been issued and she was arrested two years later on July 3, 2024.
Meleschi has been booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of grand larceny, burglary and possessing stolen property. 

Las Vegas escort Maiah Meleschi, met the complainant after a night of gambling at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino located on the glitzy Las Vegas strip on July 26, 2022. After their $1000 night together, she vanished with his jewellery and cash totaling $120,000

The man filed a police report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, during the probe the man provided details on how he met the scammer.
He told police that he was visiting Sin City and was playing Blackjack in the casino until 5am when he was approached by the woman, as per court documents. 
Surveillance footage showed Meleschi first approaching the man in the casino before the two walked to the hotel elevators together. 
When the man woke up alone in the hotel room and saw his pricey belongings had disappeared that is when he realized he had been swindled.

Meleschi who has prior arrests for prostitution and trespassing was operating at the Bellagio is one of the most iconic hotels on the Las Vegas Boulevard strip, when the alleged robbery happened two years earlier 

During the investigation, police found the pawn shop Meleschi went to and found the gold necklace, she reportedly sold for $11,600 – more than half of what he had paid, but the Rolex and cash were still missing. 
Meleschi has prior arrests for prostitution and trespassing, police said.
She is scheduled to appear in court on August 8. She could face a prison sentence, if convicted.
LVMPD told Casino.org the theft Meleschi used on her victim is called a ‘trick roll,’ which is commonly used to describe when a sex worker steals items of value or cash from a client.
Trick rolls are frequently reported and often take place at hotels, police said. 
Last September, a visitor at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, who just won the jackpot, woke up to find that two women stole $120K in cash and his $20K Rolex watch, as per the news outlet. 
The Bellagio is one of the most iconic hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. It is considered one of the top casinos in the world, and is known for its fountain show.
