Welcome to the Official Website of the Nevada Brothel Association! Sometimes we’re called the Nevada Brothel Owners’ Association because we are an industry association representing the owners of Nevada’s 29 legal brothels. Our primary purpose is political: the long-term protection and preservation of our historical, useful and very unique industry.

We function very much like a Chamber of Commerce where all of the members at our Association meetings are colorful, dynamic, independent, in some cases wealthy, progressive and certainly not boring! As such we are essentially a non-profit organization, although by the way we are structured, we do pay income taxes on money utilized for political contributions. The political nature of our existence means that lobbying on a State and local level is very important.

We are fortunate to have George Flint, the Sr. lobbyist in the Nevada State Legislature, at the heart of our Association. George is sensitive, wise, articulate, respected and well-connected with legislators and local officials. He also has a vast knowledge of the industry and legislative history as it relates to our special business. George’s unusual background as an ordained minister and an astute observer of life’s lessons allow him as a consultant to be very helpful to owners, prospective owners, reporters and people wanting to understand more about our legal industry.

This site is informational in nature. As we continue to build the site, it will include history, frequently asked questions, comments, news, links to member websites and to important sites representing the “community” which has developed around the industry, maps, directions, essays on industry issues and a research section to assist the many students inquiring each year to write school papers about various aspects of the industry.

Although there are many benefits associated with our legal activity, the key benefit is safety. Safety for the ladies, the customers and for society in general. Well-run legal houses provide a safe, fun, secure, respectable place for working ladies to make a lot of money, live well and move on to accomplish other goals in their lives. The industry also provides a safe, enjoyable and legal environment for customers to enjoy a normal and natural activity and to develop relationships with other members of the “community.” This reminds me of the discussions we had during the last legislative session as to “What is this activity?” The discussion resulted from the proposed “entertainment tax.” Was it entertainment, recreation, sport, simply personal service like a hair cut, or therapeutic as in massage therapy or psychotherapy? Interestingly, it is all of these. The industry provides a healthy alternative to the typical street culture elsewhere including pimps, drugs, violence against women and crimes against customers such as trick rolling. In addition to advantages enjoyed by ladies and their clients, our local communities enjoy tremendous fiscal and cultural benefits from our financial support.

Along the lines of safety, the legal brothel industry and its 1,000 or so professional working ladies have an a stunningly remarkable medical record. More on this later with comments from medical authorities.

My background is in psychology, economics and accounting. As a CPA, I have a bean counter’s perspective. I am a photographer and observer of life, and over the next few months we will add observations and commentaries from myself and many others relative to the interesting aspects of this unique industry.

The following key components are all required elements to make our industry work:

Beautiful, talented, professional working ladies
Adoring customers
Houses, colorful owners
Medical specialists, overnight lab services
Regulatory authorities, Counties, Cities, State legislators
Public safety personnel including Police and Sheriff’s depts.

We have a wild, wonderful and very dynamic industry. There’s never a dull moment. The industry is life itself, and it is a living remnant of the Old West. In Nevada we have beautiful blue skies, the mountains and the wide open spaces of the high desert. Our time started with the Indians, pioneers, cowboys and wagon trains and continued with the railroads, ranchers, miners, gamblers, interstate highways and modern cities. And of course there were always the working ladies helping to make the world a better, brighter, warmer and more human place. They deserve more thanks and recognition than they ever receive, for the were and are an important part of our communities and lives. The fundamental law of the Old West was a “Live and Let Live Attitude.” It still exists and it is a large part of what makes Nevada a unique and special place. If what your neighbor does or thinks doesn’t hurt you, then you leave him be. As the uniqueness of cultures of our Americas fade into sameness and political correctness such that even Southern accents fade away, I am so thankful that Nevada retains some lasting character of the Old West. It is an endearing and fragile virtue.
