No, Nevada yes, but not Las Vegas.

In the United States, "it" is legal in only one of the fifty states, Nevada. And then not everywhere in Nevada; Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City and Lake Tahoe still have it illegal. Supposedly the city fathers (and mothers) don't think that prostitution contributes to the family-oriented image that these gambling centers want. So any "action" that you may get in these cities will be high-risk in more ways than one.
It is only in certain counties in Nevada where prostitution is legal. State law forbids legal prostituion in counties which have a population over a certain number (hence the big cities are out); the remaining counties may have legal brothels, at local option. Not all do.
Street-solicitation is illegal; only in licensed establishments can you legally meet a Lady of the Night.
