Author's Note
This is the next chapter in the final series of the Elysium Trilogy. If you haven't yet, I suggest you read
Part 1
and
Part 2
, although you do not need to have read the previous two parts to be able to completely understand the story (or enjoy the sex!), so don't let the size of this series intimidate you. You are welcome to start here and go back later or simply continue from here. If you like what you read here, there's plenty more in the previous two books!
Be aware, this series includes a variety of adult situations, and I do my best to ensure that the tags are correct and comprehensive for each chapter. These stories touch on a variety of sexual subjects, like male and female bisexuality, gay sex, lots of interracial sex, some incest, oodles of group sex, voyeurism and exhibitionism, all set in a near future universe where sex is far more open than in our world. You'll find a lot of the standard tropes turned on their head here, so don't be surprised to have your assumptions challenged!
As always, if you like what you've read, give us a vote, leave a comment, and a follow. I do my best to respond to every comment! Thanks for reading!

The Elysium, Las Vegas
The pleasure I was feeling from doing my good deeds stayed with me as I made my way from the lobby of the Elysium to the bar in the center of the casino.
The Elysium was different from a lot of casinos in Las Vegas in a variety of ways, the most obvious being the focus on sex. Sex was always a theme in Vegas, as it went along with the glitz and glamor of gambling. Money, sexy women, hunky men, and a free-willing attitude were common in town, but nowhere did Vegas take it to the level that we did in the Elysium.
The other notable thing was the absence of slot machines. Sol hated them with a passion. While slots were by far the biggest revenue generators when it came to Vegas gambling, producing almost three quarters of all gambling revenue for the rest of the casinos, they were loud, and they brought in a demographic that Sol wasn't eager to satisfy. The image of blue-haired old ladies on oxygen furiously pressing buttons to get their dopamine hit was not what the Sinclair Group had in mind when it came to their target audience.
The result was a much younger clientele, although there were plenty of older, retired people who enjoyed the benefits the Elysium had to offer, especially if they enjoyed the companionship of younger men and women. It also made the casino floor much quieter, much darker and more intimate, and the result was a relaxed, sensual atmosphere that was conducive to the seduction and sex that was fundamental to the Elysium experience.
This is what people paid thousands of dollars and subjected themselves to interviews and attractiveness ratings to get access to. If you wanted to enjoy mindless button mashing, Zvesda's Starlight was more up your alley. If you wanted to wear a tuxedo and channel your inner James Bond, making a killing at baccarat or bluffing your way into a World Series of Poker bracelet -- and maybe getting a piece of ass at the same time -- the Elysium was designed for you.
That's why the Elysium was not open to the public. It was, technically, one very large, very expensive country club, with strict member requirements and background checks. To get in here alone was a status symbol in Las Vegas, and that's one of the things that many people found so appealing about it.
Without a need for acres of slot machines, the Elysium had lots of space for other things, and one of those things was Noctis.
In the center of the casino floor, surrounded by the various table games that radiated out from it like a pinwheel, was a huge drinking establishment, with seating that could hold hundreds in semi-private glory. There were little seating nooks, tables, and a circular bar that filled the exact center of the floor. Attending it were dozens of bartenders and even more wait staff serving the guests that used the bar to meet friends, take a break from the tables, or enjoy quiet, assignations.
There were a variety of discrete areas inside Noctis, each catering to a different sexual appetite. The servers were dressed appropriately for each area, and the flat screen monitors and dΓ©cor all catered to those kinks. There was a bondage themed section, where the service staff were dressed as doms and dommes in leather gear and harnesses, and the monitors showed BDSM porn. Another area catered to the interracial kink, and many of the servers there were Black, Asian or Hispanic. There was a gay section, a lesbian section, and even a taboo section where the servers were all dressed like schoolgirls and boys.
The center bar was heterogenous, not catering to any specific kink, and that's where I started looking for Jasmine, Katie's friend.
A few of the bartenders knew me from sight, although I hadn't spent a ton of time here in Noctis. Honestly, I preferred the bar in the sports book, if only because I was an athlete at heart. Eva enjoyed it down here and I knew she spent some time with Avery in the lesbian section, but I couldn't recall the last time I'd visited.
I didn't see Jasmine in the main bar area, so I started to check out the kink areas. I skipped the gay one, although I had been in the mood for some male company lately. It was unlikely she would be there, nor did I check the lesbian area, where I wouldn't have been very welcome.
Some of the Stable of Bulls, our nickname for the coterie of male Black sex workers in the hotel, supplemented their income by working as servers in Noctis, and I ran into one of them I knew.
"Hey, Antoine," I said, stepping over and greeting my friend. He was one of Mom's new favorites and had been a key part of her bachelorette party last week in The Fields spa, upstairs. He was relatively new to the Elysium, so it made sense he was trying to make a little extra money while getting his feet wet in the various parts of the hotel.
"Jack! What brings you down here? Can I get you a drink?" He asked, giving me a bro hug and slapping me on the arm in a friendly way.
"I'm looking for a friend," I told him. "Well, friend may be stretching it a bit. I met her earlier today and she asked me to meet her here."
"What's she look like?" He said, looking around. "It's been relatively quiet for a Sunday night, so maybe I've seen her?"
