HBO: Inside the Cathouse

November 27, 2002

Hey, big spenders, the best little whorehouse is not in Texas, but in Nevada! HBO has the first-ever look at the inner sanctum of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, and some of the hottest legal sex in these United States, when "America Undercover" airs "Cathouse."

Using hidden cameras, the documentary, premiering Dec. 8 at 10:30 p.m., captures the life of the working girls as they ply their trade. The cameras catch all the intimate interactions.

"It's a party, it's a spring break party, 24/7, 365, that's what it is," claims DENNIS HOF, owner and operator of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch.

Located south of Reno, the bustling brothel is the gathering place for men and women hoping to live out their sexual fantasies. From married couples trying to spice up their lives to young men losing their virginity, the Bunny Ranch has something for everybody -- even the oh-so-popular ménage a trois,

"We are the most legitimate business in America because we know we're going to be scrutinized, so we do everything right," declares Hof, who spruced up the joint to attract more high rollers since purchasing it in 1992.

So what's the going rate for a night of R&R at the Bunny Ranch? It ain't cheap! But since the girls set their own fees, then split their earnings 50-50 with the house, it varies. But it's not uncommon, according to Hof, for one of the girls to make $200,000 a year.

And there is a girl for every taste: AIRFORCE AIMEE, whose athleticism and enthusiasm offer up a boot camp of sexual possibilities; DEANA, the girl-next-door; JULIA, a first-time working girl whose husband is home with the kids; and FELICIA, a siren who sees herself as a sex therapist.

For a sneak peek at the "Cathouse" special, catch tonight's ET. Then tune to HBO on Dec. 8 at 10:30 p.m. when "America Undercover" goes behind the scenes at the bustling brothel.
