High gas prices hurting brothels
LAS VEGAS, June 23 (UPI) — Employees of brothels in Nevada say high gas prices are taking a dramatic toll on their business.
So there is more that one form of whore in town, huh?
With fuel prices at an all-time high, truckers who frequent Nevada's 28 legal brothels no longer have any extra money, ABC News reports. 'Most of these truckers used to have $100 they could spend. Now they're struggling to pay for fuel,' says Cindy Howe, a bartender at the Stardust Ranch in eastern Nevada. She says Stardust is down to only two girls despite offering incentives like free showers, parking and coffee to customers.
How about free gas with ass? That promotion should work well.
'The cost of fuel is screwing killing us,' says Karl Hardy, another Stardust bartender. 'Tourists can't afford it.' A lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Owners' Association says many members have been seeing their revenues drop from 20 to 45 percent.
Who knew there was a Nevada Brothel Owners' Association? That probably has different rules and by-laws than my local Home-Owners Ass'n. wonder if it is a 501(3)(c)
One brothel near Las Vegas is planning to give out a gas card next month hoping that will spur business.
Saudi Arabia is going to increase pumping, the Nevada Brothel Owners' Ass'n hopes this promotion does the same, albeit on a local scale. |
