I am fascinated by your site, having been just told of it by an American travelling to England. (It seems similar to http://www.punternet.com, which is often used in England.) In England, being a prostitute is not against the law, although to solicit, i.e. walk about on the street or beckon from a window etc. is. Living off immoral earnings i.e. pimping, or controlling prostitutes is illegal (Sexual Offences Act 1956 [England])
Some of the laws in the states are similar to what you describe in the UK (i.e. prohibition against public solicitation and "pimping"). Where things become a bit more gray is enforcment of solicitation in private premises.
The concept remains the same as the street...you cannot solicit the performance of a sexual act in exchange for money. But police in the U.S. set up "stings" by responding to incall or massage parlor ads or posts. They enter a premise and attempt to induce the provider to make even the slightest suggestion that money is being exchanged for sexual acts. That is why you see many providers posting disclaimers on their web sites stating that any exchange of money is ONLY for the provision of companionship and is not consideration for the performance of sexual acts.
If the above strategy is unsuccessful, police will cite and/or arrest a provider for violations such as performing massage without a permit or registration or running a house of ill repute/brothel. Essentially, police will utilize whatever tactics and interpretation of statutes/ordinances they are able to remove this perceived "societal nuissance." Coincidentally, law enforcement activity dramatically climbs during election years--politicians are able to boast about their reduction of crime.
Though prostitution is "illegal" in the U.S., some jurisdictions "de-criminalize" the act. That is they chose not to enforce the existing law. Sometimes this is achieved via financial or other arrangements between providers, massage parlor owners, and law enforcement/governmental officials.
Nevada is the only state in the union that allows legal operation of brothels. Each county in the state has the discretion to allow or disallow the operation of brothels.

And the laws of each state differ. The only Federal legislation concerning prostitution of which I am aware is the Mann Act, making it a felony to transport a female across state lines for immoral purposes. I believe that act has now been repealed. But this is not my area of expertise.
