Here is the definitionSeveral common reasons that lead couples to decide to live together include: wanting to test compatibility or establish financial security before marrying, a desire to live as married when same-sex, interracial, or interreligious marriages are not legal or permitted, living with someone before marriage as a way to avoid divorce, a way for polygamists to avoid anti-polygamy laws, a way to avoid the higher income taxes paid by some two-income married couples (in the United States), and seeing little difference between the commitment to live together and the commitment to marriage. Some couples prefer cohabitation because it does not legally commit them for an extended period of time, and because it is easier to establish and dissolve. In some countries (such as Scotland) and some states in the United States, such cohabitations can be viewed legally as common-law marriages, either after the duration of a specified period or the birth of a child of the couple, or if the couple consider one another as husband and wife and behave accordingly. (This helps provide the surviving partner a legal basis for inheriting the deceased's belongings in the event of the death of their cohabiting partner.) Today, cohabitation is a common pattern among younger people in the Western world, especially those who desire marriage but whose financial situation temporarily precludes it, or wish to prepare for what married life will be like before actually getting married. More and more couples choose to have long term relationships without marriage, and co-habitate as a permanent arrangement. |

ServiceKing-that is one mouthful.
My point though is that last I heard cohabitation is still illegal in at least a few states, but the chances of being arrested for it are about the same as for say farting in a public place. In Vegas for example women or their "representatives" openly give out their business cards in the streets, and lets face it, no matter how they try to skirt the law with careful advertising, everyone knows the prime intent is to sell sex. I bet the number of folks being arrested for this is close to non existent. |

i would say it's worth it, especially if you are flying from outside one of the bordering states. if $180 includes air and hotel pack your bags..and bring a bathing suit. like someone said it's along the river and harrahs has direct access to the river and you can rent a jet skis....and cheap low limit tables if you gamble...lol
