'Ladies may still be welcome, but only if they pay full freight.

That's what the Nevada Equal Rights Commission told a Las Vegas gym that offered free enrollment to women only.

The floodgates of litigation have opened," said Todd Phillips, who instigated the case against Las Vegas Athletic Clubs in August 2007.

Phillips, a self-described "liberal civil rights attorney," says he intends to continue pressing the matter until sex-based pricing is a thing of the past in Nevada.

He objected to the club's discriminatory pricing policy as well as separate workout facilities it reserved for women only.

"If you allow a service to women, whatever it is you have to allow it for men," said Phillips.'
