What goes on in Las Vegas area strip clubs helps give Sin City its reputation. But now a county ordinance will make lap dances a little less sexy by restricting gyrations and outlawing stuffing bills in G-strings.

Dancers say they won't make as much money, and strip club supporters accuse the county of trying to police morality.

"What she's doing is ruining the reputation of Las Vegas."

Sometimes, a reputation needs to be ruined.

Of course the customers could always go to Reno and get a "real" lap-dance.

An 18-month undercover police investigation found lap dancing led to simulated sex acts, "excessive grinding" and, in some cases, prostitution.

Ouch!

LOL

Truly, they can't enforce this is Vegas, can they?

I hate it when "excessive grinding" happens.

How DARE you question my superior judgement knave! I'm going to do what I want and your petty questions are useless

That was my reaction, too.

Going to a topless bar in Nevada is redundant....
when cathouses are legal there.
Duh.

I think I'll just have the usual, proper, normal and necessary grindage

Excessive grinding meet excessive pounding

[COBOL2Java]

Uh oh. If they get rid of lap dancing, where will the Al Quaida terrorists go?

[spokeshave]

At that, Gates banged her gavel and yelled: "I said shut up!" Gates can always get a job at the local BDSM club.

Perhaps she has an interest in The Gates of Oakland....perhaps some someone could post a link or even a photo ....hint hint...nudge nudge...if you know what I mean....

"an 18 month undercover police investigation".

What a bunch of prudes...they performed UNDERCOVER

[mamelukesabre]

cathouses are not legal in Las Vegas, from what I've been told.

[IronJack]

cathouses are not legal in Las Vegas

Not in the city limits. But just across the county line ...
