Brothels in Las Vegas/Prostitution

Typical Las Vegas newspaper boxes commonly filled with free flyers solely advertising Las Vegas 'escorts' on Las Vegas Blvd, although prostitution itself is illegal in the Las Vegas metropolitan area

Nevada is the only U.S. state to allow some legal prostitution; in most of its rural counties brothels are legalized and heavily regulated. (In Rhode Island, prostitution was outlawed in 2009.) Prostitution outside the licensed brothels is illegal throughout Nevada. Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas (and in Clark County which contains its metropolitan area). Currently eight out of Nevada's 16 counties have active brothels; as of June/July 2008 there were 28 legal brothels in Nevada.

Las Vegas Call girls (the following is for information only)

A call girl or Las Vegas escort is a sex worker, who, (unlike a street walker), is not visible to the general public. Nor does she usually belong to an institution like a brothel, although she may be employed by an escort agency. The client must make an appointment, usually by calling a telephone number — hence the term "call girl". Not all escorts offer sexual services. Some escort services offer visual entertainment only. To assist with the security and potential health risks of this profession, some escort services offer assistance and information to those interested in becoming escorts, themselves.[citation needed]

Call girls often advertise their services in small ads in magazines and via the Internet, although an intermediary advertiser, such as an Las Vegas escort agency, may be involved in promoting more upmarket escorts. The less upmarket side of Las vegas escorts is handled by freelancers.[1] Call girls may work either incall, where the client comes to them, or outcall, where they go to the client.

Escort services have made it a common practice to screen call girls to eliminate women with obvious drug problems (such as needle marks from injecting drugs) or those who have arrests for street prostitution or other types of crimes (using criminal background checks). They also attempt to employ women with pleasant personalities and those who are more skilled, attractive, educated, well-groomed and youthful.
