The Nevada Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to a city ordinance that bans certain types of touching by exotic dancers. The law makes it a misdemeanor for a stripper to fondle or caress a patron or for the patron to do the same to the dancer. More than a dozen strippers are challenging the Las Vegas ordinance. Their lawyer contends a stripper could be arrested for merely shaking a customer's hand. But a lawyer for the city tells the state high...
