Las Vegas Sex Clubs A Public Nuisance?

Really? Does the county really have that much time and spare tax dollars to deal with cracking down on this?

This has been going on for a while now in the news first with an article back in April and now with another man who has been denied a license to operate – literally next to the the Green Door – is suing the county for damages of $75,000. He states the county rejected his license over the 45 day approval period and that they are enforcing their codes with discrimination since there are obviously other businesses in the same complex operating with similar licenses.

With the first story I was glad that the manager of the Power Exchange is trying to fight the legislation that says that these clubs are a public nuisance. The man involved in the second story unfortunately I think has quite a fight against the county. First of all,  he could have waited to start his improvements to the aging building  until after his license was approved, but also at the same time there shouldn’t have been an issue since this unit originally housed the Green Door and was using the same licenses as other clubs in the area. Secondly, I think there is discrimination all the time with the county and how they enforce their codes and giving one business favor against another and then claiming the reason why the Green Door is still in business is because they haven’t caught them “in the act”. Really? Either way I don’t think that these clubs should be harassed so much, and see no issue with the businesses being in operation since they generally promote safe sex practices and provide a safe way for people to explore their sexuality (each room usually had a monitor of some sort to make sure no one is being forced or uninvited into a sexual act.)

In the end what makes me really mad is the statement of the law saying that sex clubs are a “public nuisance.”  I could think of a lot more things in this city that are a public nuisance than these clubs. If you go to the East Sahara Commercial Center that is mentioned, and where a lot of the clubs are located, you will never see people outside causing a problem nor will you hear loud music or noise coming from the clubs. People aren’t running around outside wearing leather and chains, screaming, and having sex either (though that sounds kind of fun!)  So really what defines these places as being so bothersome?? I have also never seen the cops called out to these places or acts of vandalism occurring outside, but where I have seen a lot of these problems are at the “spa clubs” and parlors that I talked about in this entry I wrote. I know of a a few agencies not too far from these clubs and the cops are called out several times a night due to clients being angry and violent, pulling out guns, or these places being robbed. I have also witnessed damage to the building/windows of these places due to drive-by brick or stone throwing most likely caused by clients or other rival clubs. These places definitely ARE a public nuisance and only make my job as a sex worker in Las Vegas more difficult. I constantly have to prove myself to the men who are ripped off by these joints that I am different and will provide a service, not a hand and ear massage.

Like a reader said in one of the comments on the Las Vegas Sun, Sin City is turning into the place where tourists come to get ripped off and giving our town a bad name. The county commission is once again trying to make Las Vegas into a kind of Disneyland, just like Vegas tried in the early 90’s – an attempt that failed miserably. I think the commission should do their job and find the real public nuisances of our town – the places that are ripping tourists off – not crack down on the sex clubs which are clearly not ripping anyone off or forcing anyone to do something against their own will. Those patrons are all 100% consenting adults exploring the sexuality, which, like it or not Clark County Commission, is one huge reason people come to Las Vegas. Give Las Vegas the sin it deserves and is known for or there is no reason for the tourists to keep coming back. It definitely makes my job a lot harder if no one comes here.

    The county should be encouraging any business opening, making improvements, and having clients. There are so many storefronts that are empty and closed all over town in good and bad areas, we should focus on driving revenue and creating jobs instead of faux puritanical outrage from the city and the county.

    Indeed.If there’s anyplace well run private sex clubs should be able to thrive…Vegas would be it. It would not surprise me at all if the push to crack down on this type of enterprise was being spearheaded by former Californians.

    I could not agree with you more on this…..I don’t understand why they are wasting their time here. If you want to get rid of the “Public Nuisance” moniker, then I suggest them starting to outlaw the use of the phrase, “Sin City”. And also, the commercials that states “What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” should be criminalized as well…..

    Appropos of nothin and just curious – do you go to sex clubs? Maybe not now that you are a pro, but is it that kind of place that appeals to you?

    And BTW I agree with everything you wrote.

    I’ve been to the infamous Green Door before. I think the clubs could be done better but understand they aren’t really making a whole lot of money from just door fees and selling expensive Red Bull.

    Usually the people who fight against the sins are former Utah residents and Mormons (little known fact to most people that they were one of the first settlers), and women on the board who balk at what this town stands for and makes its money from. I’m all for women politicians who get elected and don’t immediately start trying to take the sin out of the city. As for the religious wing nuts, they need to go elsewhere. 🙂
