LAS VEGAS -- Strippers and hookers are trying to get some respect in Sin City.

Sex workers demonstrated Thursday on the steps of the courthouse in downtown Las Vegas. They called for more legal protection and decriminalization of the world's oldest profession.

Nevada already has legal bordellos, but they are located only in rural areas.

The protest followed a three-day conference by the Sex Workers Outreach Project U.S.A. Organizers said the event was the largest meeting of academics, advocates and prostitutes in nearly a decade.
