Signed, sealed, delivered, they're yours 🙂

Call it a unique kind of most wanted list or simply an attempt to clamp down on the area's worst-kept secret.

Working off a roster of the reputed 50 "most prolific prostitutes" in Clark County, Las Vegas police and prosecutors are taking unprecedented steps to keep repeat prostitution offenders off the Strip.

Some are criticizing the law enforcement crackdown as overly aggressive. And it comes at a time when some policymakers are talking about eventually legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution in the Las Vegas Valley.

The Vice Enforcement Top Offenders (VETO) list, which took the vice unit two years to compile, has the names of women with the longest prostitution-related criminal records in Clark County, said Lt. Karen Hughes.

Most of the women on the list have been convicted of exchanging sex for money or of prostitution-related theft charges inside several Strip hotels, not for street prostitution.

Within days of launching the crackdown, police over Super Bowl weekend arrested 13 of the women on charges of soliciting prostitution, loitering for the purposes of prostitution, or trespassing, police records show.

In all, 24 of the 50 women on the list were arrested between Jan. 28 and Feb. 13, all on misdemeanor charges...

Not in Vegas county. You have to go about an hour outside of town I think to get to where it's legal.

Fixed. Prostitution is illegal in any county with a population over 100,000 in Nevada. Basically that means Reno and Vegas.
 
This is a complete failure of the police department. This is law enforcement for purely political ends.
Seriously consider to what the article said, they put together a vice squad and spent two years of man power to arrest 50 women on misdemeanor charges, and still only managed to get less then half of them.
 
And the article points out that government officials are considering decriminalizing prostitution in Vegas anyway, which makes this effort even more pointless.

Frankly, I think you're going to see a number of areas look to decriminalize this as its a drain on resources that are already being stretched to the limit.
