red light district
Adult entertainment zone
A red light district is an area of a city where prostitution and related businesses concentrate—brothels, sex shops, strip clubs.
The term comes from the red lights traditionally displayed in windows to signal sexual services available inside.
Some cities tolerate or officially designate such districts: Amsterdam's red light district is a tourist attraction.
