thread_title:  AIDS Test for Prostitutes 

message: In the article it states "As of July 2004, brothels are illegal in Carson City", This cannot be accurate because the Moonlite Bunny Ranch lists its address as Carson City (See here). Can someone cite a legal reference to the exact nature of the legality of brothels in areas such as Carson City etc. Misterrick 17:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's indeed illegal in Carson City; the Moonlite BunnyRanch is close to Carson City, but belongs to Mound House. AxelBoldt 01:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And Mound House is not in the City and County of Carson City, but rather in Lyon County, where brothel prostitution is legal. Its, nonetheless, close enough to Carson City to list that city as a postal address. Iamcuriousblue 04:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legal Situation 

message: The map included in this article showing which counties allow for legal prostitution appears to be incorrect.  The map shows Clark County as a "legal" zone, which it most certainly isn't.  Should we change this?

thread_title:  Problem with map of counties 

message: :Under Nevada state law, any county with a population of fewer than 400,000 is allowed to license brothels if it so chooses (NRS 244.345). As of January 1978,[1] Clark County (which contains Las Vegas) is the only county in Nevada with a population of over 400,000, but Washoe County may soon reach that point as well.[2] Incorporated towns and cities in counties that allow prostitution may regulate the trade further or prohibit it altogether.
The article is somewhat unclear. Does it mean to say that counties with a population 400k or greater cannot license brothels, i.e. they're always illegal? Nil Einne 12:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Over 400k is unclear 

message: Since Washoe only recently made 400k, how has this affected brothels (if any) in it? Have they already moved out? Are they up shit creek? Have there been calls to adjust the limit to say 1.8 million thereby still protecting Clark County while leaving Washoe alone for a long while longer (perhaps they're waiting for 2 million making a big nice round number? :-P) Nil Einne 12:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll shortly be correcting this section of the main article -- in terms of Nevada law, "population" is defined to mean the population as of the last decennial census (NRS 0.050).  Current population is irrelevant -- as of the last census, only Clark County has a population over 400,000, so only Clark County is barred by statute (NRS 244.345(8)) from permitting brothels.  No matter how much Washoe County has grown, it will be unaffected by this statute until the next census (at which point the legislature may change the population cutoffs).

message: We've had back and forth edit reverts from a certain user "Lasvegasredlight" advertising a web site, "Lasvegasredlight.com".  Although the latest incarnation claimed to be a "Nevada Legal Referral Service", what the web site actually appears to be advertising is an "escort service", which, as the article explains, would be illegal, especially in Las Vegas.  Linkspammers beware: you're not welcome here, this is the wrong place to advertise your business.  SONORAMA (talk) 09:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is Nevada not Las Vegas, I forget that fact when reading the main. I have been in the industry since 1989/1990 and I have never seen the child porn/sale, the article is heavy on that subject. I know you need verified content.
Legal or not should not be a factor in the article. I have had a few Outcall services in Las Vegas, they all have some internet traffic/sales/information. I would not care if links to them are included. I would say list them all or none, and I do understand that a current active/updated list is not possible over the life of this article.
I have owned Social/Swinger clubs in Las Vegas, If your talking true history of the adult scene then you need to include them along with the cab driver payouts. The true swingers in LV, Incall, Outcall, Strip Clubs, Bath House, Clip Joints, Red Rooster, Green Door, Industrial & Highlans all havw a subculture that is part of this article in some respect.
Links pointing to the current laws would be nice, and some oneliners that make it readablw. like the advertisement in front of the casinos, the racks for magazines around town. Dancer cards or Scope cards should be listed someplace.
Your getting 1200ish hits a day on this article and looking at the users location could have some weight for the final version. if its out of state traffic then links to active Clubs, Outcall, Swinger, Legal info and Work related content should be 1 click away. If the traffic is all in state and just a few Redlightdomains I would build it different.
If you want some unpublished details for the LV section I can fill you in. Possible future I will audio record upload to those that can make it readable and verify everything. I have no items that need promotion in this article, I was just looking at some other Wiki sections and some serious things are missing and some topics are just wrong, an example in the C=64 warez scene when trading was pre-internet, and pre-nfo files, the true history of what really took place and who was involved is going to be lost forever. It has now been over 20/25 years, if those that were at the heart of the scene could be found(w we all used handles...no real names) will they help fix history, after 9_5 work day, and family leaves limitwd time, and without any financial gain this part pf history will be lost.
Alot of this miss information is rooted deep on the net now and in print books. it will be years to cycle out the bad content, even in Wiki it is listed Captian Crunch found a whistle in a box of cereal and by blowing it over the phone line would create a 2600hz tone, John Draper has credit for this however he was told by another hacker in California. Captian Crunch will forever be famous for this one act when he really has sone so much more in the boxing or hack phreak pre-internet scene. you gwt the point... Same with the current adult industry, names, dates, exact details will/would be a nice part of this article in 50 years. 
Just a direction you can take this or other articles, and last side notw on content. Twitter just started a service that you can send 6 second video clips like a tweet, its uncensored and more porn clips are going out than mainstrean content and another company has dynamic videos, you make a template and then put weather button in video. it will check your location and fetch current data that is personal to you. by adding google images as an example the video will be different everytime it is watched. it can pull currwnt stock information or current news articles, pull from rss etc.... I think ovwr use of that will hurt a site like this and longterm will make fact finding historical data impossible.

message: I notice that the images in this article show buildings, but no people. Apparently, there is a desire to show no prostitutes on the page. Why not? It would fit the subject, since, it actually is the subject. Why hide the reality of it? Let's see images of women of desperate situations, dressed like commercial products, selling a piece of their soul for survival. Just showing buildings hides the reality of the subject, obviously.

message: The 2010 Census figures are available at last, the top 2 most populous counties are Clark (pop. 1,951,269) and Washoe (pop. 421,407). As this crosses the threshold, I'm moving Washoe County to the list of counties where prostitution in brothels is banned by population. See  ShawnIsHere: Now in colors 05:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  2010 Census Figures for Nevada 

message: Recently, an IP editor from Los Angeles added two references to support a sentence about prostitution in general. The first addition brought in the following sentence and reference:
*"Prostitution as a whole remains a problem in major cities throughout the United States."
**http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21599351-laying-bare-supply-and-demand-oldest-profession-sex-lies-and-statistics
The second addition brought in another reference, one that talks about prostitution in seven cities around the US, to support the above sentence about prostitution as a whole.
*http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4951891
The problem I have with these additions is twofold: First, this appears to be an attempt to normalize prostitution relative to the US, so that the very high level of prostitution in Las Vegas is seen as normal. It is not: the sources say that about 5x the number of prostitutes are arrested per capita in Las Vegas relative to New York City. Las Vegas is unusually active with regard to prostitution, so there should not be any text saying that other places also have a prostitution problem. Instead, the sentence should say that Las Vegas has more of a problem than most US cities. 
Second, the cited sources say nothing at all about Nevada, Reno or Las Vegas. Thus, they violate the guideline at WP:SYNTH. Any reference brought to this article should discuss prostitution within Nevada or it is not relevant. Binksternet (talk) 00:20, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

message: That highly biased left-wing part about rural-county brothels being a manifestation of "neoliberalism" does not belong in the introduction, which is supposed to be mainly about broad facts. Not to mention, prostitution in Nevada is as old as Nevada, so I don't see what "neoliberalism" has got to do with it.
