[GL of Sector 2814]

(from Wikipedia)

Since 2003, Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman has repeatedly stated that he favors legalization of prostitution in the city, perhaps turning East Fremont Street into a little Amsterdam. Goodman said there are pragmatic reasons to back legalized prostitution. Those include the acknowledgement that illegal prostitution is occurring and that brothels could provide safer, regulated and revenue-generating sex, he said.

Maybe he favors it, but someone must oppose it, or it would be legal by now in a place like NV. I suspect the casino lobby figures it would be bad for business, because it might defeat their attempt to "clean" habitat where they can market gambling as a mainstream habit, and because visitors would spend on whores money they might otherwise have gambled away.
