LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- A major bust at a local adult strip club has resulted in 13 dancers being arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police allege the dancers were doing much more than dancing.

Metro made the arrests early Monday morning. Police say busts like this, are not uncommon, but the number of arrests is what makes this one stand out.

"It's a pretty substantial. I don't know how many particular entertainers were working in that establishment that night but 13 is a lot of folks," said Lieutenant Karen Hughes, Metro.

All of the female dancers were arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police say it is now up to them to post bail or wait 48 hours to make a court appearance and be released.

Hughes works with Metro's vice squad, and would not go into detail about how the arrests were made, but says this is part of her team's job.

"They're out there every night, working street operations, hotel operations, book stores, anywhere where people that come to Las Vegas are going to go to find something that's just off the radar."

Right now, Metro says Deja Vu management is not facing any charges.

"They will check to make sure there are not any key employees who are involved in those acts, because if that's the case, then the license will be in jeopardy."

Deja Vu's General Manager Bob Proden says this is the first time a bust of this size has happened in the club's 15 year history. He says the club has received dance code violations in the past but those were eventually dropped.
