Legal establishments are typically safer ...
Oh, please! Just go to a bar and throw that sort of money around and you'll have a girl.
Actually, legal establishments are typically much safer.
Nevada has made it legal, although it is not in some cities (e.g., Las Vegas).
And you don't want to pick one up in those cities anyway.
When I was working in Vegas, I'd sometimes take a side road to get back to my hotel (the main roads are always a PITA).
And there'd always be at least one corner (I often worked very late) along the way they'd be standing around.
I always feared stopping at a stop sign at the same corner, with my out-of-state plates and all, and a piggy being around the corner.
Needless to say, those were the few stop signs I didn't adhere to.
