Prostitution is the crime of exchanging sexual acts for money or something of value. It’s important to note, the sexual act does not necessarily have to be intercourse. Oral sex in exchange for money would constitute an act of prostitution. Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, the Strip and Clark County.
Solicitation is a type of prostitution crime that focuses on the conduct of the person paying for the sexual act. In other words, a tourist paying for sex could be charged with solicitation rather than prostitution. Whereas the person offering the sexual act would be charged with prostitution.
