is prostitution legal in some states?

I think that Nevada State Civil and Criminal code stipulates the sanctioning of "sex workers" under certain conditions. The sex workers must be employees of registered "brothels," such that the employers are held liable for the health and well-being of these sex workers, and are subsequently required to provide a safe environment and health care to that end.
Of course, this may no longer hold true over the years. I don't exactly keep up with state legislation anymore, having moved out of my parents' home and not seeing much of my father (he's an attorney).

Don't forget that prostitution is still illegal in Las Vegas itself.

yeah, I think I actually recall something to that effect: that the "sanctioned" sex work is prohibited from operating within any city limits, resulting in the predominant locating of said businesses along the trucking routes. i suppose the reasoning is due in part to the already dubious reputation held by gambling alone, sensitizing state officials to the potential of provoking the state's more sanctimonious citizens. As a safety precaution legislature divides the two vices so that Las Vegas doesn't become unfavorably compared to Sodom and Gommorha. Thus the only other place for such fine establishments to turn a regular profit would be along the much travelled freight lanes, where they could garner business from lonely truckers. i call this study "sexonomics" (working titles include "econerotica").

sex. good plan!

i dont understand buying a better computer for your mom to get a crappier one back in return
why dont you just buy the G5 for yourself since your spending the money anyways?

It's cause I'm going to be living at my parent's house and eating their food and still taking their money, and because She uses her G4 non-stop for work and play, and I want to do something nice for her since she's been a good mother.
I also want to buy her a nice 23 inch flat screen monitor.

Can I be your mom?
