LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Legal sex workers are hoping brothels in Nevada will be able to reopen after nearly a year of being closed.
One worker told 13 Action News that some in the industry have turned to illegal sex work in the meantime.
“Reopening the brothels is essential,” said Alice Little, a legal sex worker.
Little hasn’t stepped foot inside a brothel in nearly a year as restrictions continue to prevent their reopening.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Nevada s test positivity rate is now below 10%, a major milestone in our fight against COVID-19. The last time our test positivity rate was this low was back on Nov. 3.
“It shows there s less transmission, but it also shows fewer people are being tested for it. The goal ultimately is to get below 5%. That s the target to show that we basically have things kind of under control in our community. We re still up twice that,” expressed Dr. Brian Labus, an infectious disease epidemiologist.
