Prostitution is illegal in Clark County and has been forever.

That is correct! If one picks up a hooker in Las Vegas, one does it at one's legal peril (unless, I guess, if one happens to be a powerful Democrat); however, Reno is not in Clark Country (the county that contains Las Vegas).
Maybe the states should decide if they want to legalize prostitution or not.
