(Michelle Rindells | Nevada Independent)<\/em> – Nevada\u2019s unique status as the only state in the union with legalized prostitution has once again come into focus as efforts to ban brothels in certain counties crop up and as the state\u2019s most famous brothel operator runs a campaign for an Assembly seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cNevada is probably the last live-and-let-live state in the country, and I\u2019m a live-and-let-live kind of guy,\u201d said Dennis Hof, the brothel proprietor who\u2019s seeking a place in the Legislature, in his 2015 biography.<\/p>\n

But tourists seeking to take advantage of all the state\u2019s vices should beware: There are strict limits to where sex can be sold, and even people who have worked in the brothels are divided on whether Nevada\u2019s model is a good one.<\/p>\n

Here are some things you should know about legal prostitution in Nevada:<\/p>\n

How long has prostitution been legal in Nevada?<\/b><\/p>\n

The state\u2019s earliest brothels date back to Nevada\u2019s early mining days in the 19th century. Elsewhere in the country, the sale of sex was not widely barred before the 20th century, but was subject to vagrancy and \u201cstreetwalking\u201d bans that would have limited prostitutes\u2019 activities outside of indoor brothels.<\/p>\n

The movement against prostitution after the Civil War was closely linked to the abolition of slavery, and started with efforts to fight the licensing of houses of prostitution in many states, according to a history provided as part of\u00a0a Ninth Circuit Court decision on brothel advertising<\/a>. From 1911 and 1915, there was a wave of laws passed against people who profited off putting women and girls into prostitution.<\/p>\n

But Nevada was a holdout, and brothels were openly operated and \u201ctolerated,\u201d if not explicitly allowed, for decades. Still, it wasn\u2019t until the Storey County Commission officially sanctioned Joe Conforte\u2019s Mustang Ranch Brothel in 1971 that the state had its first legal brothel, historian Guy Rocha\u00a0told the\u00a0Reno Gazette-Journal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where is it legal?<\/b><\/p>\n

Nevada law<\/a>\u00a0prohibits solicitation and prostitution unless it takes place in a licensed house of prostitution.\u00a0State law<\/a>\u00a0bans licensed brothels in counties with populations of 700,000 or more (currently Clark County, home of Las Vegas).<\/p>\n

Only 10 counties in Nevada allow prostitution, and even then, only within licensed brothels. Churchill County allows prostitution, but the last brothel license was surrendered in 2004.<\/p>\n

Esmeralda, Lander, Mineral, Nye and Storey County allow brothels throughout. Elko, Humboldt, Lyon, and White Pine County only allow brothels in some incorporated communities.<\/p>\n

Prostitution is illegal in Clark, Washoe, Carson City, Pershing, Douglas, Eureka and Lincoln counties. That includes Las Vegas and Reno, as well as the state capital.<\/p>\n

How many brothels are there?<\/b><\/p>\n

A\u00a0count by the\u00a0L.A. Times<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in early May revealed there are 20 operational brothels in Nevada.<\/p>\n

Nye County has four, including two owned by Dennis Hof. Lyon County has four, all of which are owned by Hof.<\/p>\n

There is also one in Storey County, the Mustang Ranch in Sparks; one in Mineral County, the Wild Cat Brothel in Mina; two in White Pine County, the Stardust Ranch Brothel and Big 4 Ranch in Ely; one in Lander County, Hot Desert Club Girls in Battle Mountain; and seven in Elko County, the Dove Tail Ranch and Sharon\u2019s Brothel and Bar in Carlin, the Desert Rose Gentlemen\u2019s Club, Inez\u2019s D&D, Mona\u2019s Ranch and Sue\u2019s Fantasy Club in Elko and Bella\u2019s Hacienda Ranch and Donna\u2019s Ranch in Wells.<\/p>\n

Does Nevada tax prostitution?<\/b><\/p>\n

Although brothels and prostitutes pay a state business license fee, there is no excise tax on sex acts.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Democratic then-state Sen. Bob Coffin introduced\u00a0a bill<\/a>\u00a0to apply a $5-per-day tax for customers buying prostitution services. With\u00a0an estimated 400,000 customer days<\/a>\u00a0in Nevada legal brothels each year, the measure was expected to bring in $2 million.<\/p>\n

The bill failed a committee vote and didn\u2019t move forward in the Legislature even though prostitutes and others in the industry voiced their support for a tax. Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons had earlier expressed his disapproval of the bill,\u00a0telling NPR<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m not a supporter of legalizing prostitution in Nevada. So by taxing it, there\u2019s a recognition of the legality of it. And that\u2019s all I want to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Has Nevada tried to end legal prostitution?<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2011, Democratic then-Sen. Harry Reid\u00a0called on legislators<\/a>\u00a0to ban prostitution in a speech to lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment \u2013 not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,\u201d he said, adding that he\u2019d met with visiting business leaders who were shocked to learn there were operational brothels in Storey County.<\/p>\n

But legislators never took up the cause, and Gov.\u00a0Brian Sandoval<\/span>\u00a0said the matter was up to individual counties.<\/p>\n

A new movement to ban prostitution in select counties has cropped up this spring. Efforts are underway to ban prostitution in\u00a0Lyon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Nye<\/a>\u00a0counties through county-wide votes.<\/p>\n

Can brothels advertise?<\/b><\/p>\n

Nevada law<\/a>\u00a0prohibits brothels from advertising in jurisdictions where local ordinances or state statutes ban prostitution. In jurisdictions where brothels are allowed, it\u2019s illegal for them to advertise \u201cin any public theater, on the public streets of any city or town, or on any public highway.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much do services cost?<\/b><\/p>\n

It varies. Brothel workers say they negotiate their own rate with customers for \u201cparties,\u201d or sexual appointments, based on what customers choose from a menu of services.<\/p>\n

A girl will take a client into her room, negotiate a price and collect a payment before offering up the service. Christina Parreira, who works at one of Hof\u2019s brothels, told\u00a0The Nevada Independent<\/i>\u00a0she generally does not have intercourse with a client for less than $1,000.<\/p>\n

Lengthier interactions, such as an overnight stay or the \u201cGirlfriend Experience\u201d that also includes date-like, non-sexual activities,\u00a0can go for about $1,000 an hour<\/a>. Hof includes details in his autobiography of men paying for lengthy, lavish \u201cparties\u201d that would last days, weeks or even months, with one topping out at more than $2 million and lasting five months.<\/p>\n

T.J. Moore, who worked as a house parent and then as a madam at the Love Ranch South brothel from 2013 to 2015, said the girls usually try to agree to come to an agreement on a minimum price and not go below that. But sometimes, they break the agreement because they want the business.<\/p>\n

Moore said that sex often went for $300 to $400, although it can go lower. She said she once booked a \u201cparty\u201d for $80.<\/p>\n

How much are the prostitutes paid?<\/b><\/p>\n

Workers for Dennis Hof say they keep half of their earnings, with the house keeping the other half, but they also have to pay rent, food, transportation and other costs associated with brothel operations.<\/p>\n

Prostitutes must also pay for weekly STD tests and sex worker registration cards, which vary in price by county. Nye County charges prostitutes $150 each quarter to register, plus another $150 annually; there are 97 prostitutes registered in the county for the current quarter.<\/p>\n

Workers are independent contractors and get business licenses from the State of Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey operate like any other independently licensed business,\u201d Hof wrote in his book. \u201cThey don\u2019t get health benefits, vacation pay, or retirement, and they are responsible for their own taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some, like Moore, are critical of calling the arrangement \u201cindependent,\u201d citing policies governing when prostitutes can leave the premises and pressure to aggressively market themselves on online message boards.<\/p>\n

How much revenue do brothels bring local governments?<\/b><\/p>\n

It varies by county.<\/p>\n

Last fiscal year, Nye County collected $141,779 in revenue from worker registration cards and brothel license fees.<\/p>\n

Nye County brothels themselves face different licensing fees depending on size. Brothels of up to five prostitutes pay just over $2,300 per quarter. Brothels with 26 or more prostitutes working at once would pay $46,900 per quarter.<\/p>\n

Lyon County brothels pay anywhere from about $20,000 to $26,000 a quarter in licensing fees, depending on how many rooms are in the business. In a year, the county brings in about $384,000 in brothel license, liquor license and business license fees from the four establishments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose taxes support doctors, a police force, EMTs, and even the public schools,\u201d Hof wrote in his book.<\/p>\n

How old do you need to be?<\/b><\/p>\n

It varies by county. For example, Nye County requires prostitutes to be at least 21 years old. In Lyon County, they must be 18.<\/p>\n

What is it like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Parreira, a doctoral candidate at UNLV, conducted research in brothels for her dissertation. The Hof-owned Alien Cathouse said she could conduct her research as long as she was also working in the brothel as a sex worker, and she did just that in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never had sex for money before\u2026and I didn\u2019t think I could do it,\u201d Parreira told\u00a0The Nevada Independent<\/i>\u00a0in\u00a0a podcast interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Parreira, who had done some exotic dancing and adult webcam acting, said her work at the brothel was just a job, albeit one that provided companionship and sex as a service. Brothel work became \u201ca lot of fun\u201d and Parreira enjoyed Alien Cathouse\u2019s \u201cfamilial atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

A typical day in the brothel started at 11 a.m. The sex workers had to be \u2018show ready\u2019 by then meaning they were showered, groomed and dressed in lingerie ready to be selected by a client. The women line up when a client arrives so that person can pick who they want to \u201cparty\u201d with.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a hard job,\u201d Madam Suzette Colette Cole of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch wrote in Hof\u2019s book. \u201cEvery day is a party for the client, but it can be hard on the girls, both physically and psychologically. The lineup alone can be really hard on them. Client after client comes in and the new girl doesn\u2019t get picked, and she begins to feel bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hof said in his book that one of his core principles is ensuring girls can turn down clients if they want to. Parreira and Ruby Rae, a prostitute who works in one of Hof\u2019s brothels, insist the principle is upheld.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the brothels, we have the choice, always, to say which clients we will say yes and no to,\u201d Rae wrote in\u00a0an op-ed<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0The Nevada Independent<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Much of the work is done online, with prostitutes posting frequently on brothel message boards to draw in prospective clients. Prostitutes at Hof\u2019s brothel are warned not to discuss prices over state lines to avoid running afoul of state and federal laws.<\/p>\n

Do prostitutes enjoy the work?<\/b><\/p>\n

Women who are or have been employed in Nevada\u2019s brothels and spoke to the\u00a0The Nevada Independent<\/i>\u00a0in interviews have offered widely different assessments of the work.<\/p>\n

Lexi James of Love Ranch North attended a Lyon County Commission meeting to oppose efforts to shut down brothels there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are trying to say they\u2019re saving our lives but they are really just trying to save our souls. And I\u2019m good. I have a very close relationship with God. I don\u2019t need anyone religious stepping in and telling me what I do for a living is wrong,\u201d\u00a0she said<\/a>. \u201cWhat I do is not sex. I sell love. I provide services to disabled clients, widowers, divorcees, helping couples spice things up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cara Rain, another brothel worker, said voters who are deciding the fate of brothels should learn more about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they need to educate themselves on all of this completely,\u201d she said. \u201cI chose this profession without ever being in the sex industry prior and I\u2019m completely happy here.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Moore said the real experience was nothing as glamorous as what appeared on the HBO reality show\u00a0Cathouse<\/i>. She said many girls came in with substance abuse issues and in dire economic straits and struggle to make decent money.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really did think it was a better place for the girls,\u201d she said, but changed her mind \u201chaving seen them come and leave in no better position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to what they say, \u2018you don\u2019t have to be with a guy,\u2019 if you\u2019re not doing your parties and you\u2019re not making money, they get on your case,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hof acknowledged in his book that many of his working girls have had a dark past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get another question all the time, and it\u2019s this: \u2018What kind of girl becomes a prostitute?\u2019 Well, all sorts of girls. But if I\u2019m going to be honest, some of them come from pretty fucked-up families. I\u2019ve had plenty of girls who were abused,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Diana Grandmaison, a former pornography actress who spent about four months working in Nevada\u2019s legal brothel industry in 2009, said the pay was barely enough to get by and the experience was demeaning. She said she\u2019s evolved over the years and is now completely against prostitution, legal or otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact of putting a price on a human being or body part is, to me, inhumane,\u201d she said. \u201cNow I\u2019m totally against it, I want the entire thing shut down and I want it illegal across the nation and across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
