Unemployment in Vegas and water shortage

The unemployment in Las Vegas hit 15 % today according to the local news. But if you count the people that are working part time but want full time or the people that are just not looking anymore, the numbers might be as high as 22%.
Tatiana has some solutions to the problem. Like, if Tatiana really needed money, she would set up a "donate your money to Tatiana fund" online.
Maybe she should do that, just to see how much money she can actually get? Hmmmmmmm........
Another idea is to take advantage of the all tourists that are walking around on The Strip and downtown on Freemont Street. Put on something really tight and shiny, or tight and bright. Bring a large towel, some glow sticks, maybe a stuffed monkey or other animal and then put on a show for the tourists. The weirder the better because the more obnoxious and weird the show, the larger the crowd. Sing loudly (even if awful sounding), do an artistic dance or contort your body. Some people will donate change, even dollar bills and some people will just stare. But it beats sitting at home, depressed with no money. At least you can spend a few hours getting some attention and getting paid. Something is better than nothing.
If Tatiana thinks of any other brilliant ways to make money in Las Vegas (besides stripping and hooking) she will let you know.
Sometimes Tatiana even amazes herself with her intelligence.......

Some more great news regarding Las Vegas that Tatiana just came across.

Major Water Supply: Lake Mead/Colorado River
Population (U.S. rank): 567,000 (28th)
Population Growth Rate: 18.6% since 2000
Average Annual Rainfall: 4.5 in.

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, with an annual precipitation rate of only 10 cm, Las Vegas must rely on distant sources for its fresh water. The city's main source is Lake Mead, which supplies 85% of the water used in the Las Vegas Valley. Unfortunately, the lake is 59% empty and is approaching its first water shortage ever. In addition to Las Vegas, it would affect other areas of Nevada and Arizona. Moreover, it could potentially stop the Hoover Dam from producing electricity -- as soon as 2013. This would affect many big California cities that receive hydroelectric power through the dam.
