In the early 2000s, things appeared to be more relaxed than presently. In Moscow, women used to gather outside the Leningrad Station on Komsomonolskaya Ploschad without any seeming harassment from the authorities.

Although in general prostitution is legal in Nevada it is still illegal in Las Vegas and Reno. Recently, the mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman - a lawyer known for representing various shady figures, has been pushing for its legalization within the city.
Since 1971, brothels have been legally allowed in counties with a population of less than 400,000, if a county decides to allow them - and in some they now constitute a significant source of revenue for the local government coffers. However, in addition to Clark and Washoes counties which include, respectively, the two cities just named, brothels are also not allowed in the following areas - Carson City, Douglas County, and Lincoln County. (Eureka County neither permits nor prohibits licensed brothels and does not have any).
In a sense, legalization just involved an 'upgrade' from the quasi-legal, tolerated institutions that operated previously. Prostitution was once tolerated in Las Vegas also but seems to have been 'forced out' during the Second World War by the 'authorities' because of a military base in the area.
All told, at the time of writing there are 27 legal brothels in Nevada, all of which seemed to be referred to as 'ranches'. Nye County, close to las Vegas, has 7.
Nevertheless, there are estimates that 90% of prostitution in Nevada is still carried on illegally in Las Vegas.
