Adelson's RJ published a story that is just so Nevada.

Reported that Dennis Hof, famed owner of brothels, had been charged with rape by one of his prostitutes in 2005.


Hof is the recent nominee of the Republicans for Nevada Assembly District 36.

The thing is actually pretty preposterous. The gal involved did not press charges until 2 years after the supposed incident. And it was denied by Hof and another lady who was present.

Adelson making his displeasure with Hof public?

Certainly could be considered a deliberate smear due to the age and that the authorities refused the complaint.

Nope. Impossible under the circumstances. Given the professional relationship between Hof and the lady i doubt you could ever get a conviction. Not a chance two years later.

True, but she didn't know it was rape until after the check bounced.

All the Tesla workers are buying in Fernley. The brothel ban ballot question has some energy behind it. It may actually take foot for Lyon county which Fernley sits in.

Be interesting. My experience has been in Yerrington where I think the working ladies are almost folk heroes.

The cat house ban failed to get the required signatures in Nye County so it looks like no vote there..so only in Lyon.

i do believe the nye county commissioners can (did?) ask staff to put the exact same question on the ballot, so it may not be entirely done out here

imo - they're crazy to get rid of the brothels

Commission Chair already said no. So they have to get two other commissioners to put it on the agenda. Then a majority to agree. Sounds very unlikely.
