^^^correct, not in Clark County or all counties, just specific counties in NV and there is history/reason for that. The point is that brothels per se are legal in NV. This whole discussion of brothels is goofy. If it were true, then there would be no same-sex dorms. This topic has already been beaten into the ground. Pesky urban legend!

Oh, right, I know that's not the reason there aren't sorority houses, it was more of an off-topic observation on my part.

And, as I pointed out a few pages back, there are locales that have laws about too many non-related people living together. Dorms are, in the cases I know about, exempt from such laws. So, I don't think you can say "such a law doesn't exist, as proven by the existence of dorms". Laws of this sort DO exist, they just don't single out women vs. men, and they don't apply to dorms or the type of sorority houses we usually think of, i.e. one owned by a housing corporation or HQ where individual women sign individual leases. If ten women in decided to get together and rent a house to be their sorority house, it would absolutely be against the law in some locations, it just has nothing to do with brothels.
