The descriptive sentence which includes; "and people who are determined to take advantage of everything she has to offer," says it all. You cannot abuse a child physically or sexually without emotionally abusing them. That child grows up feeling unworthy. People prey on that.

Las Vegas used to have the greatest entertainers in the world and crappy food. A guy might even buy a new shirt or tie to take his gal to see Sinatra, Dean Martin, Steve & Eydie or Presley. Now, there are gourmet restaurants everywhere and you need a seaching party to find headliners worth the price of a ticket.
