The Love Ranch: Difference between revisions

It sits along the southeast side of the cul de sac at the end of Kit Kat Drive, just off Highway 50 (Lincoln Highway), approximately 1.2 mile (1.6km6 km) from the [[Moonlite BunnyRanch]]. Also on the cul de sac are two other brothels the [[Kit Kat Guest Ranch]] and the [[Sagebrush Ranch]]; and Madam Suzette's Red Light Cabaret Strip Club. The cul de sac is collectively known as the Madam Suzette and Dennis Hof's Red Light District.

Formerly known under several variations of the name ''Kitty's'', this brothel iswas owned by [[Dennis Hof]] until his death in 2018. Hof is best known as the star of [[HBO]]'s [[Cathouse: The Series|''Cathouse'']] and proprietor of the nearby [[Moonlite BunnyRanch]]. Hof reportedly renamed this operation in 2004 to better take advantage of the "BunnyRanch brand name", which he has heavily promoted. In June 2008, this house was again renamed, this time as The Love Ranch in order to build a unique identity for the brothel. It is sometimes referred to as The Love Ranch North, to differentiate it from [[Dennis Hof's Love Ranch|''Love Ranch Vegas'']].
