I wonder why it is legal for the smut peddlers to hand out cards with pictures of women that are so nude that it leaves nothing more for the imagination.
Yet it is illegal to sell bottled water on the strip which is what the locals here call Las Vegas Boulevard. Can someone out there tell me what is wrong with this picture.

Selling Bottled Water On Las Vegas Blvd. is Illegal?
According to the City Counsel, Selling Bottled water is now illegal. If caught you could face up to $1000.00 fine and or six months in CC DC Clark county detention center.
Seriously? People need to pay their bills. The City needs to focus on the idea that there are honest people struggling and creating crime-less victimless jobs. Selling water may not be a full time or even on payroll, but it is a job. Keeping up with restocking ice and water. As the argument is, they are not paying their taxes at the of the season. It is only seasonal, not like it is all year.

Business license to sell?
I have been told that you have to have a business license to sell water. The catch to that is, the casinos rule the Strip. When the water vendors go to get a business license, they are told there is no such thing. There is no law written in the books that is illegal to sell water.
Metro wastes our tax money dealing with putting people in jail for six to twelve hours. I am not sure about how much money they are taking from the budget for our police force, but to me that sounds like enough money to at least finish what they have started here in town. I know many people who visit this town and wonders the same thing. Call it greed?
The casinos do not own the sidewalks, that is a fact. The reason why they complain about it, is because, they are taking profit away from their "water sales." Who in their right mind, are willing to buy a very small bottled water with their name on it, for two to five dollars?
In this town you must have all types of cards in order to get a job, such as the following; TAM, Health, Sheriffs Gaming and non-gaming, Security cards etc.... Which cost money. Tell me how on earth is one to achieve any of those without any source of income? Better yet, or even to pay their bills?

Unemployment/Honest Work!
With the unemployment rate at it's all time high, I do believe that selling water to the tourist on Las Vegas Boulevard, should not be a crime. I have talked to many tourists who think the same thing. They are very happy to see a water vendor, Why? Because they are walking around, exploring our beautiful Strip, or maybe even trying to find a place, hot thirsty and confused! The water vendors also serve people the information of where is, or what would be an ideal thing to do here?
Water vendors work their butts off! Gathering water and ice, standing directly in the heat, Becoming creative with sales pitches. Running from Metro! I would run to if i had no other source of income, This town was built by the people who gamble and lose more money than intended. They are making one dollar at a time. This to me is a seasonal job.

Prostitution/Your children!
Yes I used those words in the same sentence! For I do not know how long this has been legal, It's okay to advertise Sex, and night clubs, with those cards? Certain group of people, flash them in front of your children, all thrown all over the Strip!
Please tell me is there really a big deal out of selling water to pay bills? Maybe even just to get something to eat for the day! Wait maybe even money to purchase nice clothes to impress for maybe an interview?

Homeless/One Dollar!
I fully understand the law, in the city and state of Las Vegas, Nevada, against operating a business without a permit to sell water, on Las Vegas Blvd.
I must wonder? Why can't individuals who perspire beads of sweat from head to toe, be allowed to earn one dollar at a time? Honestly, is it really against the law to sell distilled bottled water, to a tourist who might be hot as hell walking around? It's a possibility, that the individual could be dehydrating before ones eyes. In search of his/her casino/hotel. After all we are in the valley of the dessert!
Have the lawmakers figured out that people have to be creative in order to create jobs? Even if it is seasonal. Selling water to the tourists are in reality creating revenue for the casinos that surrounds water vendors. This might be the real reason vendors, become repeated offenders. because there are no jobs to be found!
