Why would you think that the money earned here goes for anything more than fancy cars, drugs, fancy clothes for the "girls", gambling and all that fun kind of stuff? Whether the legalized bordellos in Nevada are careful to screen their girls for disease.....you can't tell me that these girls don't get an occasional STD and then spread it. You cannot dismiss talking about this aspect of the profession because legal or not the taxpayer ends up paying for the disease treatments, the illigetimate kids that may happen, the prison sentences for those who engage in this profession illegally, the court appointed attorneys who take care of the "ladies" who cannot afford to get out of trouble and more.
Think of something else that will stimulate just the economy only while at the same time teach our young women self respect.

While you are technically right about what is going on in Vegas you have to remember that prostitution is not being taxed right now. This may change but I doubt it, mainly because the representatives of Nevada do not want to talk about prostitution even while it runs rampant in their state
. Don't ask me why they legalized it without taxing it but that is what they have done in Nevada, I guess they believe if they do not tax it they are not endorsing it
(see link).
Under consideration: Tax brothels, consider legalizing prostitution in Las Vegas - Las Vegas Sun
The key to prostitution being helpful economically was from tax revenue! without taxation you get the scenario Pam is talking about.
