LAS VEGAS (AP) A lawyer is promising a court fight after the Las Vegas City Council revoked the business license from a massage parlor, citing allegations of prostitution.
The council on Wednesday also fined Oriental Angels Massage $50,000 after finding a pattern of illegal conduct led to the prostitution arrests of five employees since 2008 at the business several blocks west of the Las Vegas Strip.
Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian called for the city to stamp out this type of activity.
Business owner and licensed acupuncturist Jinli Ran insisted she tried to run a clean business.
Attorney Conrad Claus said Ran was trying to sell the business, and said he absolutely intends to appeal the council action to Clark County District Court.
