Key employees at swanky nightclubs in casino resorts in Nevada would be required to register with state gambling regulators under a bill designed to prevent unsavory workers from club-hopping and taking trouble with them....

In the 19th century, the darker side to life in Virginia City was often overlooked; it just wasn’t proper to talk about. Even today when tales are told of Virginia City, its rich Comstock history, wooden boardwalks, mine tours, paranormal activity and even its nationally recognized special events take center stage. The Historic Fourth Ward School Museum & Archives is changing that with its May – Oct. 2015 exhibit, “Every Man Has The Right To Go To Hell In His Own Way.”

CARSON CITY — Dennis Hof, owner of the world-famous Bunny Ranch legal brothel, star of HBO's hit series "Cathouse," and best-selling author of Judith Regan's "The Art Of The Pimp: A Love Story" is adding the title of "job creator" to his resume with the announcement that he is now hiring a team of "brothel testers" to oversee "quality" control at each of his seven Nevada legal brothels.

"The job is exactly what it sounds like," says Hof. "You get paid a full-time salary to have sex with beautiful girls--and then evaluate their performance."

Many celebrations are scheduled throughout the Silver State in the month of September. These Nevada 150 events celebrate all things Nevada and help bring awareness to the 150th Anniversary of Statehood. The following events are held Sept. 15 through 30.

Dr. Michael Fischer will present a lecture on "Reno's Dark Underbelly of Prostitution and Drugs from 1900 through the 1950s" on Thursday, May 15, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. at the Business Innovation Resource Center (the BRIC), 108 E. Proctor Street, Carson City,

The event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Carson City Historical Society in cooperation with the Carson City Library and is part of the Society's "Third Thursday" series of lectures.

In recognition of the state’s sesquicentennial, Changing Faces and Places: Making Nevada is the second in a series of three Special Collections and University Archives exhibits commemorating 150 years of Nevada history at the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

Carson City will be featured on the C-SPAN network's two channels this weekend after their visit to the capital city earlier this month.

In addition to having feature stories sprinkled in throughout the weekend on the respective networks, both American History TV and Book TV, there will be a block of programming where all of the respective Carson City pieces for their networks will air, said C-SPAN spokeswoman Laura Finch.

The average age when individuals begin engaging in prostitution is 13.  So far this year, more than 200 minors have been arrested for soliciting prostitution in Clark County alone.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee met this morning to continue a heated discussion regarding legislation that would change the way that the court system deals with minors who are arrested on prostitution charges.

In many ways, Thursday evening was an ordinary monthly mixer for the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, with members and guests partaking of food and drink, and employees of the host business talking about their contribution to the local economy.

But the host business on this occasion was the Love Ranch brothel, and the "employees" included several provocatively dressed working girls, and the business they were talking about was sex.

Mississippi’s sixty-third governor today visited Nevada, a state which has been called “the Mississippi of the west”* because of its largely unskilled workforce and poor public education system.

I watched from the gallery as Sen. Harry Reid called for an end to legal prostitution in his speech to the Nevada Legislature yesterday.

This part of the speech got wide coverage all over the world, overshadowing everything else he said. But there is one thing you should know. This was all an act, political theater that will have no effect on anything. So for all you folks riled up by this issue, just settle down and enjoy the show.

Sen. Harry Reid spoke at a joint session of the Nevada Legislature this morning, asking legislators not to cut education, and to have "an adult conversation" about outlawing prostitution.

The call for ending legal brothels was met by a a cool reception from the legislators who gave it only a smattering of applause followed by an uneasy silence. In the gallery was BunnyRanch owner Dennis Hof and some of his working girls.

CARSON CITY – Lobbyists and policy-makers who can’t wait to get a jump on the 2011 legislative session can start their reading assignments now.
Forty-four bills have already been drafted and pre-filed on the Legislature’s website in advance of the session that will begin Feb. 7.

Nevada Day kicks off this morning with annual the Nevada Day Parade, with the theme being "100 Years of Aviation" to go along with the Silver State’s admission to the Union in 1864.

Retired Lt. Col. Dick Rutan of the U.S. Air Force serves as Grand Marshal for today's celebration. He was picked to coincide with the theme, which marks a history-making flight of daredevil pilot William Ivy Baldwin west of Carson City, where he soared to 4,675 feet, the highest ever at that time.
