Edited response based on my two recent visits. Yes I am still thankful these business exist however I can't help but wonder why they aren't open to showing different types of movies. Not just straight but at least bi. If the majority of your paying base are gay, bi or questioning, why not offer something for us? I have asked twice if the movie can be changes and I was just told "no." No explanation, just no. It can be a little slap in the face to your more loyal customers. I know I am not the only one that feels this way, it is a topic of talk amongst the guys who visit. Not sure if things will change or who to ask but I hope they do better by their customers. It's refreshing to know these business are still here. Even though the cover price for the theater and arcade access is a little steep, I understand it is a business. Hoping we continue to support these businesses. They serve a purpose and a need. The theater has a great layout and very comfortable chairs. In and out access through the day would be great but for now I'm happy to make my monthly visits.

The staff is friendly and me and my Dom had fun in the theater. The guests kept to themselves as me and my Dom played and were respectful so I'm grateful. It's a safe environment to play in. Thank y'all so much for a pleasant afternoon.

I heard a fantasy world from a friend. I’ve never really been in adult bookstores or sex stores before… I’ve been a bedtime stories once.. The staff at fantasy world is very friendly. I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was in the arcade. Very comfortable space to be in been there twice so far and I would definitely return… I wish it was open later than 8 PM But again, I highly recommend it. Can’t wait till my next visit…

I think both fantasy worlds are incredibly great. I've only visited the annoah store. But the booths are very, very fun and even outside. You meet new people. It's really great. I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Super fun place to go to buy adult items or visit the arcade. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the most laid back and welcoming adult stores i have ever been to. Arcade has booths and will soon have an open theater. Excited!,

Prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas or Reno. In the United States prostitution is mainly a matter of state law, and selling and buying sex are crimes in every state except in licensed brothels in some rural Nevada counties, and except that Maine (since 2023) no longer punishes selling. Nevada bars brothel licences in any county of 700,000 or more people, which is Clark County (Las Vegas); Washoe County (Reno) bans them by ordinance. Federal law adds the Mann Act (taking a person across state lines for prostitution) and, since FOSTA-SESTA in 2018, a crime of running a website with intent to promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person; Section 230 no longer shields such sites from state prosecution or civil sex-trafficking claims. Backpage was seized in 2018 and its owners prosecuted. Source: Prostitution Laws (prostitutionlaws.org), https://prostitutionlaws.org/countries/united-states/, reviewed 2026-11-03, CC BY 4.0.
