Prostitution is legal in some parts of Nevada, but despite what some think, not Las Vegas. Nevertheless, Sin City may be the clearest place to see the Seamless Fabric in action, as documented by Melissa Farley in her book, Prostitution & Trafficking in Nevada: Making the Connections.
Some excerpts:
“There is a crossover of people involved in legal prostitution and illegal prostitution and back again. Similarly, Web-based, video, and print pornography are inseparable from the rest of the sex industry, with the same kinds of crossovers from prostitution to pornography to sex trafficking. Some Nevada legal brothel pimps have declared their economic interest in ‘cross fertilizing’ prostitution with other legal adult businesses such as strip clubs, Internet sites and pornography. ‘The Girls of Cheetah’s’ is pornography made at a Las Vegas strip club.”
“… A law enforcement investigation in Las Vegas located a multi-use sex industry operation that included online prostitution. Looking like a small office complex from the street, it blended pornography production with escort prostitution. The pimp/pornographer rented 5-6 offices on Tropicana Avenue which functioned simultaneously as Internet pornography, cyber-peepshow prostitution, and a location out of which women were pimped to Las Vegas hotels and to an illegal brothel.”
“… Web cam video and escort prostitution sites have recently merged with adult dating sites. Since 2000 there has been increasing prostitution advertising on dating websites with the major dating websites now largely consisting of locations where johns seek women who they presume to be prostituting. Adultfriendfinder for example features gonzo [amateur] pornography of women seeking dates for prostitution in dozens of countries and every state in the United States.”
