Default Relevant 1st Amend. case decided in Nevada last week ?

A recent US District Court case struck down a ban on advertising brothels in Clark County and Washoe County. Briothels are legal in other Nevada Counties, but not in Clark or Washoe. (Las Vegas is in Clark County.) If anyone has a copy of the decision, by Judge Mahan last week, could they post a link ? (The Plainitffs included the ACLU and City Life, a sister subsidiary to the Las Vegas Review Journal.)

Apparently, even tho operating a brothel is illegal in Clark County, a Nye County brothel could still advertise there. This is analogous to Nevada casinos advertising out of State.

Why is this good ? ... (I would want to see the decision itself) However, it clearly fits in with the argument that a ban on internet gaming in some States, (and a Federal bootstrap thereof) would violate the right to conduct business in less restrictive States. In fact, an advetising ban, which would block advertising in the "Illegal" States would violate the business' right.

(Again, if anyone has the decision, a link would be appreciated.)
