  • The State of Sex: Tourism, Sex and Sin in the New American Heartland
    THE STATE OF SEX The State of Sex is a study of Nevada’s legal brothels that situates the nation’s only legal brothel industry in the political economy of con- temporary tourism. Nevada is part of the “new American heartland,” as its pastimes, people, and politics have become more central to the nation. The rise of a service and leisure economy over the past 60 years has propelled sexuality into the heart of contemporary markets. Yet, neoliberal laws in the United States promote business but limit sexual commerce. How have Nevada’s legal brothels survived, while the rest of the country criminalizes prostitution? How do the brothels operate? Who works in them? This book brings social theory on globalizing econ- omies, politics, leisure consumption, and emotional labor in interactive service work together with research on contemporary prostitution and sexual commerce. The authors employ an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, combining historical analysis of how the brothels came to be with over a decade’s worth of ethnographic research on the current state of the industry. Barbara G. Brents, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Sociology and Faculty Affiliate in Women’s Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Crystal A. Jackson, M.A., is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Kathryn Hausbeck, Ph.D., is Senior Associate Dean of the Graduate College and Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Edited by Valerie Jenness, University of California–Irvine and Jodi O’Brien, Seattle University This innovative series is for all readers interested in books that provide frameworks for making sense of the complexities of contemporary social life.

District documents, election records and interviews show an insular county — next to Reno and where Lance Gilman, the brothel owner, now serves as a commissioner — gave a private water company controlled by the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC) the power of a public entity. How workers on Gilman’s payroll came to lead the public board, charged with serving water to some of the world’s top firms, reflects greater tensions about whether certain companies are benefiting from the region’s rapid growth and which politicians have given them an upper hand. As billions of dollars of capital have flowed into the park with investments from online retailers such as Amazon and big tech companies such as Google, the arrangement has prompted concerns about the role of government and the concentration of power, especially with the fate of a multimillion-dollar pipeline at stake. Where does the business end and the government start? With TRIC’s water district, it is often hard to tell.

From 5th Century BCE, to ancient Greece, to modern day Amsterdam and Nevada, prostitution is a way of life for both the prostitutes as well as their customers. The debate regarding legalized prostitution is rife with arguments on both sides that speak of the pros and cons of a legalized or decriminalized stance toward prostitution. Scholars argue either from a morality standpoint buttressed with statistics on the quality of life the prostitutes experience, or scholars suggest that the prostitute’s body is her own and she may do with it as she pleases. The economic impact of legalized prostitution is substantial and this impact cannot be refuted from either moralists or feminists who disagree with the profession as a whole. Nevada is one such example of a locale where the legalized prostitution industry brings in substantial income to the county coffers.

  • Moonlite Bunny Ranch
    Moonlite Bunny Ranch Photographs by Stephan Gladieu Text by Anne Senges Six miles from Carson City, the capital of a state known for sin, stands the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, one of Nevada’s most famous brothels. It is located in a surreal, deserted-looking small town called Mound House on U.S. Route 50, where sex is the sole attraction. No fewer than four bordellos call it home. The Bunny Ranch, actually an oversized trailer with a fake Victorian front—literally a façade of grandeur—is the town jewel. Made famous by the HBO documentary series Cathouse, the establishment vaunts itself as a sort of Magic Kingdom of erotic thrills: a Disneyland of sex, inhabited by about 30 “hot and sexy” Cinderellas, minus the princess dress and, of course, the innocence. A prostitue arrives for work, passing the sign at the entrance of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal brothel owned by Dennis Hof, in Lyon County, one of the fews counties in the USA which permits legalized prostitution. Each prostitute from out of state works and sleeps in one of the brothel's 30 rooms during the entire duration of her stay. The local ones are allowed to go home after their shift. The Moonlite Bunny Ranch was featured in HBO reality TV show "Cathouse: The Series" between 2005 and 2007. www.reportage-bygettyimages.com The doorbell chimes, the girl who answers rings a little bell—customer!—and a bevy of women in sexy underwear and spike heels hurry into the lobby to welcome the new visitor. This is the sacrosanct tradition of the lineup, or presentation of the prostitutes, a crucial moment with winner-take- all stakes.

  • On-Screen Portrayals of Reno, Nevada, in Television and Film
    University of Nevada, Reno “Make the Biggest Little Mistake of Your Life” — On-Screen Portrayals of Reno, Nevada, in Television and Film Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography By Scott Speer Dr Paul F. Starrs/Thesis Advisor August 2013 i Abstract Reno, Nevada, is a subject seen and mentioned many times in film and television over the past century. On-screen depictions use ways to create a sense of place that often focus on specific aspects of a place and omit others. Due to the wide audience that Hollywood productions receive, how places are viewed in film and on television affects the overall public perception of that place. Reno, Nevada, has been portrayed as a center for divorce, gambling, and prostitution, as well as being the place to go if you’re washed-up, on the run, or are uneducated trailer trash. The pub- lic’s perception of Reno changes over time, and can easily be followed by examining the films and television that feature this self-described “big- gest little city in the world.” ii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................ i Table of Contents ............................................................................................. ii List of Figures .................................................................................................. v Introduction ....................................................................................................
