The state's first legal bordello is set to reopen, but the notorious Mustang Ranch name may be shut out of the action.
The Storey County Commission has granted a brothel license to Wild Horse Resort & Spa owner Lance Gilman to operate a second brothel next to the Wild Horse about four miles east of the former Mustang property.
The government seized the Mustang in 1999 after its owners were convicted of racketeering. Gilman bought it on eBay for $145,000 and moved the Mustang buildings to the Wild Horse site.
The commission will decide at its next meeting whether to let Gilman keep the Mustang Ranch name, which he says was part of his purchase.
Oscar Williams, the owner of Ambient Entertainment of Reno, claims to have the rights to the trademark for clothing and other merchandise and David Burgess, the owner of the Old Bridge Ranch, also objects to the use of the name. His brothel is located next to the former Mustang Ranch site.
Gilman said he has spent about $1.5 million on site preparation and moving the old brothel to his land.
While the original Mustang has 50 rooms, Wild Horse madam Susan Austin said the new one would open with about 20.
Funny, I wouldn't have thought they would have needed much clothing there. : )
How much for a woman to get a beer, turn the TV to the football game and massage my feet?
Didn't the IRS run the Mustang Ranch for awhile? I think that's funny...the US Govt. in the whorehouse business.
MISOGYNIST!!!
That all depends on how long you want her to massage your feet.
"Same as it ever was..."
Yes, the Federal Government did in fact own and operate the Mustang Ranch for a period of time.
Oddly enough however it seems nobody wanted to frequent or work at a place of that nature that was owned by the feds.
Go figure.
If that's all you want, then it'll cost you big time.
