Las Vegas Allows Brothels to Advertise

Sunday, September 2, 2007


Las Vegas residents and visitors were surprised to see a moving billboard, basically a large truck with a digital billboard attached, driving through the streets of Las Vegas advertising the brothels from nearby towns. While prostitution is actually technically illegal in Clark County, including in the Las Vegas area, there has still been some considerable amount of illegal prostitution that still continues to occur in the Vegas area, taking advantage of all the traffic into the famous gambling mecca in the desert, as people come to attend shows and view Las Vegas attractions. This lifting of the ban on advertising for prostitution allows legal prostitution networks from out of town establishments to provide services to the Las Vegas area, including transportation to and from the brothels. This focus on allowing legal prostitution to flourish is considered a good way to reduce the amount of illegal prostitution in the Clark County area and provide protection for legal workers.Oddly enough, the advertising chosen and presented on the moving billboard did not actually feature any women of any kind, as the proprietors chose to be as tasteful and sensitive as possible. Instead, the advertising shows only a profile of the brothel itself from the outside front, showing zero racy content and simply offering a phone number and location information for the brothel. Locals expect the amount of advertising to increase in the future, as more and more legal prostitution establishments come on board and begin strengthening their advertising and marketing programs in the same manner. While the moving billboard might not be the choice for everyone, any type of advertising and marketing is generally considered an effective tool for the prostitution industry and provides a monstrous amount of incoming traffic and paying customers. Naturally, without this influx of new traffic and visitors, no establishment can continue to earn money and remain solvent for very long. As more and more companies focus on advertising for prostitution and legal brothels in the Las Vegas area, it remains to be seen what impact these types of advertising will have on the Las Vegas area over all.Nearby counties that can legally support prostitution expect to experience a tremendous amount of new business, as the strategic combination of advertising and transportation allows legal brothels to attract visitors and users from the swarming and extremely busy Las Vegas area.
