  During the last few years, exact solutions that describe black holes that are
bound to a two-brane in a four dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk have been
constructed. In situations wherein there is a negative cosmological constant on
the brane, for large masses, these solutions are exactly the rotating BTZ black
holes on the brane and, in fact, describe rotating BTZ black strings in the
bulk. We evaluate the canonical entropy of a free and massless scalar field (at
the Hawking temperature) around the rotating BTZ black string using the brick
wall model. We explicitly show that the Bekenstein-Hawking `area' law is
satisfied both on the brane as well as in the bulk.
