I hate to be a wet blanket, but the Mustang Ranch is in northern Nevada, near
Reno/Sparks. Prostitution is illegal in Clark County which includes Las Vegas
and a WIDE area around Las Vegas. Of course illegal does not mean non-existant
or even unusual. I've been propositioned more than once. And I don't spend much
time in Vegas, either. And I suspect there are operations similar to Mustang
about ten feet across the county line.

Easterners often don't realize how BIG things get out here. I wouldn't be too
suprised if New Jersy could fit in Clark County! And I love it when an
aquaintence from back east talks about running down to Disneyland some day
while visiting. Hey! LA and San Francisco are both in the same state, aren't
they?
