An undercover officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) was offered “a massage and sex for $200” at an illegal brothel allegedly run by a poker playing madam.
According to 8 News Now, Bing Du is accused of both pandering and money laundering. Las Vegas Locally took to X with an image of the alleged Spring Valley brothel that raised Metro’s suspicions after discovering bedrooms with numbered doors.
After the LVMPD responded to online ads involving suspected prostitution and one officer was offered sexual services, Metro initiated a stake out of the property. The surveillance revealed “men arriving to the residence and leaving after staying 30 minutes to an hour,” according to court documents.
Asian beauties for discreet gentlemen.”
This evidence was corroborated by a search earlier this month of a property linked to Du, where LVMPD officers found “multiple mattresses directly on the ground” and business cards offering “Asian beauties for discreet gentlemen.” Searching the property’s trash units revealed “large amounts of used condoms” and other items that led police to believe a brothel was in operation.
Police arrested Du after finding her playing poker at a Strip casino tournament. During a subsequent LVMPD interview, Du stated her tenants “were providing prostitution services” and paid her to “basically turn a blind eye” to the goings on.
Metro, however, suspects Du was both aware of the prostitution and profiting from it. Police also state that Du showed her bank accounts “were primarily funded by cash deposits and peer-to-peer payments.”
Du was released without bond because prosecutors haven’t yet filed any criminal complaints against the suspected madam, who is scheduled to appear in court on November 18.
