不知啥時產生的錯誤概念,以為在賭城拉斯維加斯賣淫是合法的。今天剛看了新聞,拉斯維加斯警方近期借賭城遊客稀少之機,嚴曆打擊賣淫活動,已經逮捕29名妓女。

於是上網查了一下,才發現以前的理解是錯誤的。

根據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).

在新聞網頁上的一匿名回貼比較有意思:“在拉斯維加斯逮捕妓女,是不是就象在迪斯尼逮捕米老鼠一樣?” 

起碼按照這位匿名網友的觀點,賭城應該考慮將賣淫合法化。
