#1 I took a tour of Architectural Masterpieces when I was in school

Maybe because your school hadn't debased itself completely as a paper mill yet, generating ~~income~~ attendance by offering majors without employment prospects.

#4 On second thought, this may be in the curriculum for Public Service majors [insert snark about working girls and the office of the Governor of New York here].

#5 Legal prostitution has never really gotten a fair shake as a modern business. Most likely operated by a hotelier, with a business oriented to an orderly, middle class clientele of both men and women.

Along with a more respectable accommodation, guaranteeing clean prostitutes, clean rooms, and more amenities than just sex, such a business would need a shuttle service from Las Vegas and Reno, and a general atmosphere appealing to the business class.

The business needs to be strongly oriented to employee welfare, offering better than average benefits and perquisites, and mainstreaming employees into the local community to get an "employee vote" against those who would shut the business down.

In addition to the prostitutes, there would be a large number of security and maintenance staff, and even business and 'social' consultants, to insure that employees lead orderly and normal lives, have good health care and retirement benefits, and even have outsourcing to other jobs when they no longer work in the business.

Since the margins are so high and the overhead so low, yet employee turnover relatively brisk, the long term concept would be to establish a prostitution "community", surrounded by businesses sympathetic to the business and catering to the *other* needs of the clientele.

Things like a very competitive class golf course, a specialist surgical hospital for a particular high-end medical condition, and perhaps a very high-end 'millionaires' club and retail center.

Basically, other plausible reasons to pay a visit to the town.

#6 Anonymoose, sounds very much like the way Vegas was founded. (Not snark)

#7 NSFW:

In the late 60s & early 70s Nevada's whore houses were always 10-15 miles outside of any big Town, Reno for instance.

This was a golden era for Cat-houses because all the bad Viruses and other STDs hadn't exploded in epidemic proportions. AIDS, Herpes, Clap, Syphilis etc. Condoms were NOT even required, the girls just examined youse... [not sayin it waz schmart to go without mind you]

The Whore houses in Nevada were cheap and the girls were GREAT and a REAL GOOD TIME could be had with a couple whimmin/girls for a couple of hours.

On a real good night heh we went back to gambling and getting high on c______, and then went BACK for a second round at the whore house, just out of town. >:>
