* I would like to see all that type
of material removed from the strip. The Las Vegas Strip is so beautiful
and those smut people only clutter up the walkways. Gloria T.
* I do not care who has a right to publish what
they want, I have a right not to have it stuck in my face. Get rid of
those low life distributors with their adult content. Harold CA
* I have visited Vegas many times and I
am really becoming extremely dismayed with the constant barrage of filth that
is being shoved into tourists/visitors faces. I almost had to physically
remove a person from being in my way but he decided to move. I believe that
the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce and the police should be more active in
removing this hindrance. Chuck M from Arizona
* I don't believe that adult material
should be out on the streets at all, the same as prostitution shouldn't be out
on the streets. Just because people are there to gamble or go to shows
doesn't mean that they want to see nude women and suggestive material on the
streets. There are a lot of young innocent minds walking around with
their parents and such. I don't see why there is a need for such
material, because if people want to see or deal with such trash, they will
find a way to see it or find it. Strip clubs and sex shows can be found
in many different ways if a person so desires. There should be a law
against handing out or having this worthless material on the
streets. Thank you. Cliff Reeves
* I am all for "free speech",
but NOT when it is pushed in my face with this kind of "trash".
By trash, I do not mean the people who are passing out this information but
rather the people behind it. Las Vegas is a wonderful city to visit and to
live in. I know all cities have their darker sides but, don't advertise it on
every street corner. Mark, Fla.
* I think that this practice is getting
really out of hand, and takes away the class of a multi-billion dollar
strip. Ron Schwartz
* When
we I come to Las Vegas, about twice a year, we like to walk up and down the
strip. We DO NOT LIKE to have unwanted adult flyers thrust at us every few
feet. We might come more often if we knew that we would not have to face this
inconvenience. MHY
* I consider myself a fair and open
person, but...those leaflets are put (a kinder word) into your hands...I
should say the men's hands. I understand that those that do pass them out need
a job, but it is such a nuisance. They line the blvd. on both sides during the
evenings, both men and women and some that look like teens. We travel to
Vegas (from Hawaii) twice a year and enjoy your city thoroughly and we would
like to see this annoying practice stopped. Aloha,
C.Brooks
* Definitely not. It's a disgrace--and
turns tourists away from visiting Las Vegas. I remember many years ago when
Las Vegas was beautiful--no children or trashy handouts. Please give us back
the beautiful and safe ambience Las Vegas was many years ago. Thanks. Ann

* Yes, it's clearly a first amendment right. If the rapper/artists
(yeah, right! artist my a--s) of today can get away with outright
vulgarity and Howard Stern can produce and display his crap in the name of
"entertainment" then why not?? The handing out of adult material
to adults seems pretty tame in comparison. Besides, they do it in a non
threatening way, if you don't reach for it they back right off. My husband
usually accepts (he likes to read he says :) but rather than litter I take
them back from my husband and return them. As far as the time share
employees. I can handle them but I do feel kinda sorry for the people that
actually stop! My time in Vegas is always limited, I'd never waste it on a
high pressure sales speech, NEVER...I don't resent them for trying though
it's their first amendment right. Thanks for listening. Sandy R
* I do not consider myself a prude, but I do not like the continual
barrage of adult material that you get from the smut peddlers.
People looking for that type of entertainment can easily find it
without having it pushed into everyone's face. Las Vegas is wonderful and
unique, please clean up the strip and make it a pleasure to walk
it. Janet Webb
* Re handout of
material adult in content in Las Vegas. I
think this is terrible and an intrusion to have this material thrust in front
of you. I am surprised that Las Vegas allows this to be done. I have
been to Vegas on two occasions and dislike this intensely. Gwen
