It was in Las Vegas where her career in entertainment began. Before entering the adult film industry, Lei worked as an exotic dancer at the renowned Olympic Garden gentlemen's club.

A manager from the industry saw her performing at the club and offered to help her find work, describing it as an opportunity to "get paid to pose nude for people to look at through their computers". She soon traveled to Los Angeles, met her agent Roy, and began her new career doing magazine shoots for publications like Hustler and Penthouse , web content, and eventually, adult movies.
