Prostitution arrests close Las Vegas pool

The Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino closed its Sapphire Pool following the arrest of several women on prostitution charges this past July, Las Vegas police say.

Metro Police spokesman Bill Cassell said seven women were arrested at the pool at the hotel-casino and charged with soliciting prostitution while three other people were arrested on various other criminal charges, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

Those accused of prostitution were identified as Michelle Campbell, Jennah Lieboff, Melissa Cortney Essmaker, Galiana Slavshea Georgieva, Elizabeth Alma Corbin, Tobi Jean Sorenson and Inna Kokin.

Campbell was also accused of possessing methamphetamine, marijuana and narcotics paraphernalia.

The Sapphire Pool at the Rio had previously hosted Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club dancers who would appear topless, the Sun reported.

Cassell told the Sun police did not take any steps to have the Sapphire Pool shut down, saying the decision to close the pool was made by Rio officials.
