Question in black type - Answer from our Readers in blue type
#1. Prostitution -- Should Las Vegas
legalize it?
One year ago this week we asked this
same question. Are the views and values of our readers changed? Nevada does have legalized prostitution, but it
is currently illegal in the country Las Vegas resides within. Since this is the entertainment
capital of the world, this weeks reader poll question is . . . Should Prostitution be
legalized in Las Vegas? Why or Why not?
* I don't think
legalized prostitution in Las Vegas is a wise move. There are enough
attractions in our town to bring in visitors and their money. This
activity would appeal to the more prurient individuals that might visit
our fair town and would lead to other more illegal activities and gangs
and dope, etc. khufu
* Legalize it.
it's just another form of entertainment. Wayne
* Yes.
prostitution is going to happen any way in a city like Las Vegas because
people come there to let their hair down. make it legal and make it
safer. Bonnie Davis
* I thought that
they were wanting to make Las Vegas more family orientated. I don't think
they should do this. It's bad enough that they are on the sidewalks out
there passing out there little pamphlets, especially when you have your
kids with you. Judy L
* Yes! and it's
about time! Louis Lagarde
* Don't really
care if they legalize the act but my problem is with the pornography
that's passed out on the streets every hour of every day. The advertising
for strip joints and prostitution are more than many of us want to deal
with. I don't think they need to push those brochures in our faces. It's
very irritating to have to dodge these people. If someone wants to partake
in that smut, they'll have no problem finding it. Keep it off the strip
and sidewalks. They are trying to make Vegas a family vacation spot but
the kids are subjected to the naked pictures all over the sidewalks. One
would have to be blind not to see them everywhere. Karen V

* No it should not
be legal, anywhere. It shows no morals and is just a disgusting trade. I
know that it will always be around and I know that there are a lot of
prostitutes that feel trapped. By legalizing such an act would be saying
that there is nothing wrong with it. It is very disgraceful for any woman
or man that has to sell there body. I am not a religious person, I don't
want you to think that I am just a nut or something. I believe this
because of our society and my morals. Wendy
* Who really
cares? It might give a whole new meaning to the term "Playing the
slots"!!!!!!! COCOMM
* Yes.
Las Vegas has the reputation as Sin City. Let's keep it that way.
Millions of people come to Vegas from all over the world for fun. Sex is
one of those vices that Vegas sells. Its a shame that Nevada doesn't
extend the prostitution law to Las Vegas and Reno. At the same time that
we want to make Vegas more family-friendly, we still want to keep it the
enigma that it is. Otherwise, Vegas will loose its appeal and gamblers
will stop coming. Its just as easy to go to the local Indian reservation
to gamble. Let's keep Vegas special and keep its Sin City
reputation. Dan Daley/Towers Perrin
