LAS VEGAS (AP) - Kody Brown and his four wives say they've found acceptance in Las Vegas after moving there from Utah last year.

The stars of the TLC show "Sister Wives" told an overflow crowd of 300 people at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas this week that while plural marriage is not for everyone, it can be a healthy and happy choice for some.

Kody Brown praised Sin City, saying its diversity has made the family feel welcome. He says the family also has found less hypocrisy there.

The Las Vegas Sun reports Monday night's panel discussion marked the first major public speaking engagement in Las Vegas for Brown and wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn.

The family has sued Utah, seeking to overturn its bigamy law as unconstitutional.
