Another thread spin off where members were talking about Topless Blackjack or tables games.

Las Vegas has been trying to promote itself as "Sin City" once again, instead of a family destination. Their main advertising campaign is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," with great commercials which suggest that Vegas is a wonderfully wicked adult playground.

So what can Las Vegas do (legally) to put a little more "sin" into Sin City? Would they ever really consider topless table games? Or an absolutely "adult only" casino where kids can't even walk through the front doors? How about a strip club inside a major Las Vegas casino.

Most importantly, would these or other sinful ideas really draw in more crowds and more money for Las Vegas?

You don't want it to get so bad you can't bring a lady. Casinos kind of are nicer places to gamble, nicer accommodations, nice bathrooms, etc. Even Harrington Delaware clearly strives for this. So it might take some genius to get the balance right. To some degree we are all showing up for that "what happens here, stays here" too, aren't we?

btw that is an ingenious advertising campaign IMO.

Ignoring the legality of it: Legalizing (highly taxed) forms of federally illegal drugs would be my favorite. This is a touchy subject that the country isn't really ready for, but allowing people to recreationally smoke weed or do a line of coke would definitely bring back "Sin City".

One time at Binion's, I saw bikini-clad girls dealing the craps game. This was at the same table that they normally play craps without bikini-clad girls, so I doubt that the odds were any different.

How about the ultimate "Gentleman's Club" where you could have legal prostitutes in a viewing room, like Amsterdam? Would require a change in NV Law, but why not?

Yes, they put the female crew in bikinis! That increases the house advantage.

Actually this 'sin back in sin city' won't be done by legislation, it will be done by the flexible barriers on prostitutes. Its simple, its effective and the law can be modified by the casinos far faster and cheaper than they could ever get it modified by the legislature.

California will vote on whether to fully legalize marijuana in November. Polls indicate the initiative is likely to pass. The feds have largely backed off the war on drugs at least in regards to marijuana, and have let states decriminalize possession of small amounts. They could still step in, but that seems unlikely with Obama in the White House.

I think marijuana is much less destructive than alcohol or tobacco and should be decriminalized or legalized for adults. I am uncomfortable with going beyond that and legalizing other drug use.

They raise the table minimums.

When I played at the Rio's Bikini BJ pit, about 8 years ago, it was $25 and the first time I had ever even heard of 6:5. I didn't even know it until I got BJ. I immediately left the pit.

Bikini craps? About all they can do is change the payouts on the junk in the middle and field 12. But unless they used a craps table that is dedicated to the bikini crew, or has NO printed payout info, how can they change it?

I go to Vegas about once a month. Since the last 12 months I have seen almost all of Downtown go to the bikini pit with some tables having bikini dealers. Same thing with the strip. Most have put in the party pits with dancers. I have not seen this with craps except for the dancers being with 15 feet of the craps table. Tell you the truth, it is a distraction. After a few minutes without my wife standing by me, I play the game and the dancers and loud music become a distraction.

OK. Now THAT'S a good reason to take that crappy bet!

Better yet, get rid of the Big 6/8, which only has them leaning over if a 6, 7, or 8 is thrown, and put in the 6/7/8 bet, which is a one-roll bet!

the golden gate casino has a pretty good and efficiently run party pit where the dealers take turns dealing and dancing on the stage. also the majority of their table games happen to be located in this party pit.

1. Fully Legalized Prostituion - this is the standard in Nevada outside of LV and Reno, so its not a huge change, but it would allow those that were interested a safe place to go for the entertainment an option other than getting trick rolled in their hotel. These could be zoned away from the strip. Since those inclined know where to go and can easily find what they want, the porn slappers would be out of business. This would actually clean up the strip and hotels compared with today.

2. Legalize drugs - all drugs would never happen, but marijuana and similar items (ala Holland coffee shops) really is realistic. This was on the Nevada ballot back in 6-7 years ago, but failed. Yes, I realize that this is a violation of federal law, but the feds have already announced they are no longer pursuing marijuana that's within state laws. California is likely to fully legalize MJ this fall anyway.

3. The party pits in casions should be expanded to full topless for those that have a desire to play in that environment. Make the odds a little worse if necessary, I'm sure it'd still be packed on a Fri/Sat night. The area should be closed off from the main casino so ladies (or men) that are offended or uncomfortable have the normal experience.

I'm surprized that the major strip casinos don't have the juice to incorporate a full fledged strip club as part of their property. I think legalized prostitution & drugs is just not going to happen, but there is no reason a tasteful gentleman's club couldn't be discreetly stationed in a back corner of the Aria (or Bellagio, or MGM, etc...)

There has long been a war between the strip casinos and the strip clubs. The casinos just view them as a drain on money that is rightfully theirs. A group of guys come to Vegas with a couple of grand. They gamble a bit - maybe win a little. A portion of that $2K is reserved for going to the strip club, and the casinos don't like it.

Does anyone know what the legalities are regarding a casino hosting a strip club?

I can see the drug thing being an uphill battle. I guess I just don't understand not allowing brothels in Clark county. I think it would draw a LOT more guys to Vegas than come now. I don't see it giving a negative perception to the country, as most people are under the false impression that prostituion is already legal in LV. What LV has now is a strip populated with porn slappers offering up prostitutes in front of guy's wives and girlfriends. An official red-light district for Vegas would elminate this, and also draw more tourists (since there's no other legal brothel in the US outside of Nevada).

I just don't get it. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

That isn't stopping California from trying...maybe if they succeed, Nevada can follow. Though, I suppose it would eliminate some of the draw to LV if it was also legal elsewhere.

It will never happen because the casinos and the politicians know that Casinos pay taxes, whorehouses do not. Even if the tax income from whorehouses were looked upon favorably, the casinos and politicians know that the casino revenue would fall. You can thirty pages of yellow pages ads for "Entertainers", you can have pornslappers, you can have locals driving around town having their young children ask them about certain interesting billboards, you have glowing pedestrians hawking whores, ... but you can't have legalized prostitution.

Um...

Only whorehouses in areas where it's legal to operate, would operate legally and pay the tax.

Whorehouses that operate legally DO pay taxes.

i think he means the majority of tax revenue comes from casinos. so even though the state will be able to collect taxes off of more whorehouses, it might hurt the casinos overall operation and they dont want to do that since thats where the majority of the states revenue comes from.

This is rediculous....this would be true if "entertainers" weren't already swarming the city ready to service anybody that wanted. The industry is already there, its just entirely on the black market now. The Mayor has been pushing for this for at least the last 8 years. The casinos have been against it because they believe it would tarnish the family friendly image of LV that they were going towards for so many years. If anyone should really be against it, it would be the high-priced strip clubs in the area. Their business model would suffer greatly.

The sin will return with force and more. The adults have the CASH. It is already happening. I have been observing it for the last 2 years. The kid friendly attitude is almost gone. The real question is how far will it go. I believe it is only a short time before strip joints are in every casino, prostitution will be legal on the strip, and with MJ legal in CA(it is around the corner for NV). Behind the strip there are already strip clubs out of business. Where they bought out or out of business? The war between cabbies,limos and casinos is heating up taking people off the strip(local paper has article).

Strip clubs would instantly convert into or relocate as brothels, so they wouldn't be against it.

Casinos should stop trying to promote the 'family friendly' thing. When people visit as families, its a lot harder to gamble while behaving like a responsible family person.

Casinos nationwide are providing people a reason to gamble at home without the bother of going to Vegas. Many also provide a reasonable version of the Vegas show. Vegas needs a reason to get people to come to their casinos rather than the local casino.

The casinos never pushed the "family friendly" image. In fact, they have always been against it.

As I discussed in another thread, legalization of prostitution in Las Vegas was proposed in the Nevada legislature in 2008, but it never made it to a vote. Politically, it's not going to happen because Las Vegas doesn't have enough pull in the legislature. The rural areas(which encompass every place except Vegas and Reno) aren't going to get on board with legalization of prostitution in Vegas for one of two reasons. Either they are populated largely by Mormons who are against all legalized prostitution, or they include counties that are small enough to have legalized brothels and that don't want to lose tax revenue to Las Vegas.

The best arguments towards legalizing "sins" like prostitution is that they are going on anyway. Legalizing them will help control the worst of the undesirable side effects (like disease, violence, and robbery).

Many of the small hotels on East Fremont street rent by the hour anyway. There is a great deal of street robbery right now, and this would bring it under control. I don't think it would have much change in the overall economic level of activity in the urban area.

I agree that legalization would help control the already existing prostitution activity that goes on in Vegas, and, for that reason, I'm all for it. (Not just in Vegas. I'm for it everywhere, even though I'm unlikely to ever be a customer, even if it's legal.)

I don't agree that legalization wouldn't increase the amount of prostitution in Vegas. Right now, there are 6 legalized brothels operating in Nye County. Although I don't have any statistics to prove it, I expect that a substantial amount of the business for those brothels consists of Las Vegas vistors making an excursion out of the city to partake of their services. If prostitution were legalized in Las Vegas, those brothels would almost certainly go out of business, or relocate to Clark County. That means that Nye County would lose all of the tax revenue from those brothels. To a lesser degree, the business of other brothels might also be affected, either because of a shift from business to Vegas or to Reno. Let's be honest, no one visits Pahrump or Mound House because they are fabulous tourist destinations. They go there because they are relatively close to Vegas or Reno and they have legalized prostitution when Vegas and Reno don't.

The loss of tax revenue is a major source of the inertia against the wholesale legalization of prostitution in Nevada.

How is the state legislature in Nevada made up? Is it allocated via population or geography? Something like 75% of Nevada residents live in or around LV, so it seems to me that the the rural vote wouldn't really matter....unless seats are not weighted by population.

Both are apportioned by population, which means that Clark County has the majority in both houses. Assuming that every legislator from Clark County was in favor of legalized prostitution, it would carry the day in the legislature. That is a big assumption. I'm sure that some of those legislators are against it for non-economic reasons (moral objections, concerns about secondary effects, etc.), so there would need to be some coalition building with legislators from outside Clark County. That is unlikely because, as I discussed earlier, those legislators are either against it on moral grounds or against it because it would take tax revenue away from their districts.

Any budding journalists here might want to look into how many Clark county legislators are against legalizing prostitution in Vegas due to payoffs by other interested parties.
