The Las Vegas City Council will take up an ordinance in August as part of an effort to clean up downtown.
The measure will allow adult emporiums to expand, allowing businesses selling adult books and magazines, videos and sexual novelties more flexibility to expand or modify.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reports the measure mainly seeks to fix an ordinance that went into effect in 1992, making existing adult stores non-conforming to city code.

Councilman Bob Coffin said city officials passed that law, thinking that if adult emporiums couldn’t change anything, they would go away. Adult emporiums are defined as a business that draws at least 35 percent of revenue from sales involving sexual novelties, books or magazines.
