§ 6.160.010. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • The Clark County board of commissioners finds that erotic dance establishments, if unregulated, will likely lead to an increase in prostitution, venereal disease, drug and alcohol offenses, fraud and other criminal activity; and

    Erotic dance establishments sometimes are fronts for or operated by persons associated with organized criminal activities, and the need to scrutinize such dance establishments is thereby enhanced; and

    The law enforcement resources available for responding to problems associated with or created by erotic dance establishments are limited and are best conserved by regulating and licensing erotic dance establishments and those associated with them; and

    The public health, safety, welfare and convenience require that erotic dance establishments and their employees be regulated and licensed in order to reduce the potential for harm.
