The question was: What is the only state in which prostitution is legal statewide? All of the answers submitted in the comments were correct, however, people that chose to answer for fun on Twitter or Facebook kept saying Nevada. Of course being the obvious choice, that couldn't have been the answer. The key to this question is where prostitution legal *statewide*. While Nevada is well known for its sex industry, the legality of prostitution is determined on a county by county basis. Contrary to popular belief, prostitution is actually illegal in Clark County; where Las Vegas is located.

The basis of this is dripping in awesome; it was decriminalized in 1980 based on the fact that there was no law on the books stating that prostitution was explicitly illegal. Pimping, running a brothel, and loitering; all activities related to prostitution, are illegal. The actual act of having sex for money, though, is not.
