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。

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。
