In the state of Nevada, there are certain laws found in Chapter 201 of Title 15 that criminalized behavior that is considered to be against public decency and good morals. Title 15 is the state’s penal code, and Chapter 210 is divided into different subsections each of which address different types of indecent or immoral acts that have been made illegal.
One of the subsections of Chapter 201 relates to prostitution offenses and criminalizes different types of conduct in connection with prostitution, including engaging in prostitution outside of a licensed house of prostitution, soliciting a prostitute, making a living off of earnings from prostitution or pandering including causing someone to become a prostitute.

The offense is keeping a disorderly house is established in Nevada Revised Statute section 201.420. According to the relevant statute, a defendant can be convicted of keeping a disorderly house if the individual operates a disorderly house or any house of public resort that cause the peace, comfort, or decency of the immediate neighborhood to be disturbed on a regular basis.
In addition, any person who keeps a disorderly house or a public house that causes any family within the immediate neighborhood to have their peace habitually disturbed can also be convicted of an offense under N.R.S. 201.420.

N.R.S. 201.420 also stipulates that a person who keeps any inn in a disorderly manner can also be convicted of a criminal offense under the same statute.
A defendant who engages in any of the behaviors connected with keeping a disorderly house that are prohibited in N.R.S. 201.420 will be found guilty of a misdemeanor offense if convicted. A misdemeanor is not as serious as a felony offense, or even a gross misdemeanor. However, it is still a criminal offense, which means that conviction could still result in a defendant being sentenced to incarceration and conviction could still result in the defendant having a permanent criminal record going forward.
