Las Vegas Sees Surge in Prostitution Arrests: What’s Behind the Spike?

Las Vegas, Nevada  2024-05-08

In recent weeks, the number of prostitution arrests in Las Vegas has surged, with a 51 percent increase in offenses from the previous year. The rise is particularly notable in downtown Las Vegas and the Strip, with a 21 percent increase in 2024. Officials attribute this rise to increased awareness campaigns and more individuals reporting sex trafficking. Despite the spike in arrests, experts believe that the prevalence of prostitution remains consistent, and that the higher numbers may reflect improved detection rather than a genuine increase in activity.
