It isn't legal in Vegas, for one, and it is the whores and their presence that generates most of the crime associated with prostitution, plus the 'johns' are the out-of-towners that make up Vega's customer base for the other main businesses and their tax base. Much easier to round up the hookers as well, easier to entrap them and get convictions.
I NEVER said it was legal in Vegas! Both Clark and Washoe County do not allow legal prostition- dates back to the days when the military first wanted to open bases there.
There is prostitution here, much of it provided to high rollers by the hotels. Also, the police in Las Vegas City turn a blind eye to it as long as it's "tasteful."
By "tasteful" i assume you mean the ones that cost $300-$500 bucks for a few hours as compared to the $50 blowjob crackheads shown in the police blotter.
