The leftist in America should understand that this is what will happen if their plans to legalize prostitution in an effort to make it "safer" succeed.

Bulls---.

The problem is that the police have decided not to crack down on streetwalkers. A combination of legalizing prostitution in registered brothels and a hard-line approach to streetwalkers would work fine (and it is working well in Nevada).

When I've gone to Vegas (1999-2003) I've seen prostitutes walking the strip (they won't speak first but they will eye you) and I've seen the silent men handing out escorts cards and publications.

I've also heard that many of the casino dance clubs (which charge upwards of $20 for men to enter) have a large number of prostitutes who come in (ladies are permitted free at these bars). I didn't visit any of them (big name dance clubs too) so I did not personally observe them. My friends and I did see some women who seemed to be prostitutes at the hotel bar.

I doubt that all prostitution occurs outside of the Vegas city limits (as required by law). It is also not the perception I got from the locals I talked to.
