Brian Sandoval’s tax package, and got backup from Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, who has called Oscarson a " lying son of a bitch ” who has been “AWOL” from party activities, although McDonald insists the party isn’t endorsing in the primary. Hof, in turn, has pounded Oscarson for a 2015 vote in favor of Gov. , a website paid for by Oscarson, says “Nevada is too important to be left in the hands of a self-proclaimed Pimp” and links to articles highlighting everything from sex-related allegations to alleged brothel advertising rule violations. Hof is running a formidable race seeking a seat in the Nevada Assembly, and his profession and business practices have been a focus for his primary opponent, three-term incumbent Republican Assemblyman James Oscarson. Police and court records show Hof, who owns roughly one-third of the 20 brothels in Nevada, has faced serious allegations from former employees in the years since he first bought the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Northern Nevada in 1992, although he has not been convicted of any crimes or charged for the alleged conduct. “How is that exploiting? If anyone’s being exploited, it’s men that have to pay for something they can’t get enough of.”īut life as the most famous operator of the brothels legal only in Nevada hasn’t always been winks and laughs. They come to us and want to do it,” he said in a January interview. He chafes at the suggestion that his work is exploitative. He credits his hit HBO series, Cathouse, with bringing more acceptance to prostitution, although a new wave of opposition has cropped up and could snuff out prostitution in the two counties where he’s operating if it crosses some more hurdles. He promoted a “Hookers for Hillary” campaign to piggyback on the contentious 2016 election and invited basketball star Lamar Odom back to the brothel shortly after a medical scare there, capitalizing on the situation by telling him two girls and a one-night stay were on the house.
