What is the definition of solicitation of prostitution in Las Vegas Nevada?

Answer 1

Definition of Prostitution in NevadaProstitution (commonly called "hooking") in Las Vegas is the act of trading sexual favors for a fee. As Henderson NV criminal defense attorney Michael Becker explains, the exchange does not have to involve penetration or cash to be considered prostitution:3

"I've seen prostitution cases where the only sex act the customer bought was 'copping a feel,' and where the customer paid with drugs or other valuables instead of money . . .

So if the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department suspects that any sexual favor is bought with anything of monetary value, they can make an arrest and book you at the

Clark County Detention Center."

Definition of Solicitation in NevadaSolicitation of prostitution in Las Vegas means offering or agreeing to engage in prostitution-in other words, attempted prostitution. Even if the exchange of sex for money never ultimately takes place, solicitation is just as illegal as the act of prostitution itself.

Furthermore, you don't have to genuinely intend to trade money for sex in order to be found guilty of solicitation: Merely asking or accepting an offer to trade sex for a fee qualifies as breaking Nevada solicitation law.4

Many solicitation arrests occur after a cop supposedly witnesses someone on a Las Vegas street corner or in a casino verbally agreeing to commit prostitution. But modern technology allows solicitation to occur in many other different ways as well:

Henderson NV criminal defense attorney Michael Becker has defended solicitation cases where the alleged deal was struck over the phone, online, or through ads. Sometimes the suspects even used code language to broker the terms, such as "party" instead of "sex."
