You are absolutely correct. This woman’s main motivation was hunger. She may have spent all of her money on drugs but in this case all she wanted was something to eat.
Since she was solicited by the UC, they should have bought her a couple of burgers and told her to move on and get some help.
Now they have another prisoner for their jails.
When I lived in Asia, a girl offered me sex for food. I bought her dinner, gave her 30.00(feed a family for a week)
and wished her well.
Obviously, she didn’t live in Vegas. First it’s the Mickey D’s; then it’s Arby’s; then it’s Denny’s; then Mimi’s; Next thing you know they will want a suite overlooking Lake Mead...*sheesh*

Sometimes, people need the kind of help that they can’t articulate. In a way, I understood. My next thought was, “Does she have kids?”
Years ago, when I was still working, I had been in a car parts store. As I got back into my car, a woman approached me and asked for money. I told her if she was hungry, I would buy her food. She said it was for her son. Looking around, I saw no son. I asked where he was, and said I would take them both to get food.
No son appeared. It was a scam. This IS Las Vegas.
