I would like to comment on this "Brothel" label/reputation that the Las Vegas media has given this quiet little town of Pahrump. I used to think the same way because I lived in Las Vegas and that's all I heard. Then I came out here and got to know this awesome little town, where brothels are NOT allowed within town limits by-the-way. I was so impressed by the quality of life and the intelligence level of the residents that I actually moved here in order to GET AWAY FROM the "IN-YOUR-FACE" SMUT that IS Las Vegas!!! Anyone who has ever lived in Vegas knows what I'm talking about. Now, I don't see any "SMUT" anymore. In Vegas, I couldn't get away from it. Say what you will about the brothels, but they keep the smut where it belongs...in the brothels...which are out of town, out of sight, and out of mind. I will never live in Vegas again. You can't even drive down the street without getting an eye-full. I don't know how people raise their kids in that kind of an atmosphere. And as for this Federal Detention Center...it's supposed purpose is to hold people who have been charged with a felony and are awaiting arraignment or court at the Lloyd George Federal Court House in DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS!!! So they are going to be trucking these alleged felons through our town, up over the mountain, and then all the way through your town to the federal court house twice a day every day of the year that the court house is open for business. Do you think maybe there might be an opportunity for escapes anywhere along the way??? The land that the 'prison' is being built on was assessed at $43,000 and the Privately owned company building and running the "for profit" prison payed $6.99 million for it! There is so much obvious corruption here that the only way it can be kept from the public at large is for the media to be so obviously complicit. What ever happened to Investigative Journalism? Or good old-fashioned TRUTH??? I for one miss it.
