On this week's episode of Poker2Nite, the popular UB.com poker show, discussion centered on a bet in which Mike Matusow would run down the Vegas strip naked if three women win bracelets at this year's WSOP.  This is yet to ever happen but so far women have fared particularly well in big name poker tournaments this year. 

Matasow better hope for his sake the ladies perform badly at this year's WSOP.

Lewd conduct may be considered a crime involving moral turpitude in Nevada. Running naked up and down the Vegas Strip will most likely get Matasow arrested.  Because he has prior convictions (he served a six-month stint in jail in 2004 and 2005 after being caught with cocaine), Matasow will be looking at a pretty significant sentence.

While public nudity may not be meant to incite lust, it may incite lust anyway.

When someone is nude in a public or semi-public environment they are committing a mortal sin because they are causing others to sin, with the exception of a locker room environment perhaps.  Artist's nudes may also be exempt from such a status though this particular reporter believes otherwise.

Las Vegas is commonly referred to as "Sin City", however, it does have laws and streaking naked across the Strip is "breaking the law".
