Question Massage Parlours ?

Hey all,

Was driving down Spring Mtn & Decateur area last week and really noticed a plethora of asian massgae and foot reflexology places.

What's the deal? Are these legal here in LV?

If so, are they legit? Liscenced?


--------------------------------------

In other words, can you get into any trouble for going to one for a sore back

If so, shame on them. What a shady biz.
If not, what's the best one?

there is a loophole in the massage business to exempt reflexology from the massage license requirements. there's much less involved than getting a license for massage.
that said, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

otherwise, legit brick n morter or mobile service is available. or you can go to
one of the spas in one of the hotels. prices from affordable to expensive.

Just as long as they don't rub you the wrong way.
I would say about 1/2 of them are legit.

and the rest... well.. . . .
...Here is a rule of thumb. If they are open 24 hrs a day..

Seriously are there any Asian massage places that aren't in the happy endings business?

If you want JUST a massage, call Nevada School of Massage Therapy and find out when their 2 for 1
special is. They have graduating students do what they do and if you have someone go with you
it works out to $15 for a one hour massage.
