不知啥时产生的错误概念,以为在赌城拉斯维加斯卖淫是合法的。今天刚看了新闻,拉斯维加斯警方近期借赌城游客稀少之机,严历打击卖淫活动,已经逮捕29名妓女。

根据WIKIPEDIA, Nevada is one of only two U.S. states that allow some legal prostitution; in most of its counties, brothels are legalized and heavily regulated. (In Rhode Island, the act of sex for money is not illegal, but street prostitution and operating a brothel are). Prostitution outside the licensed brothels is illegal throughout Nevada.
Contrary to popular belief, prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas (and in Clark County which contains its metropolitan area).在新闻网页上的一匿名回贴比较有意思:“在拉斯维加斯逮捕妓女,是不是就象在迪斯尼逮捕米老鼠一样?”
起码按照这位匿名网友的观点,赌城应该考虑将卖淫合法化。
