Lyon County, Nevada contains many remnants of the old west. It spans more than 2,000 sq miles in an area east of Nevada’s small capital, Carson City, and, according to the 2010 census, only contains about 52,000 people. Wild horses still run free through the chilly, desert mountains. But Lyon County may be most known for another throwback to a long-gone era: its brothels. The county contains four legal brothels, including the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch, all formerly owned by the recently deceased Dennis Hof. (The brothel now belongs to his long-time partner Madam Suzette, though his will may be contested by his long-estranged family.)
