The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Well, we all have reason to cheer today as the Mustang Ranch whorehouse gets to keep its name.

The infamous Mustang Ranch brothel has been cleared to operate under its famous name, 18 months after it reopened for business at a new location.

A federal judge ruled that the exclusive owner of the Mustang Ranch trademark is Lance Gilman, who bought the gaudy pink stucco buildings that once housed the bordello in 2003 and moved them a short distance next to his Wild Horse Adult Resort & Spa east of Reno.

U.S. District Judge Edward Reed Jr.'s decision Friday went against rival brothel owners David and Ingrid Burgess, who sued Gilman over the trademark to the best-known little whorehouse in the West in January 2004.

Apparently, the whole thing began after the government put up the brothel for auction on eBay, which was seized from David Burgess's uncle-in-law, Joe Conforte:

In his ruling, Reed said Gilman assumed ownership of the trademark to the state's first legal brothel when he bought the buildings on eBay from the government for $145,000 in 2003.

The government seized the Mustang Ranch in 1999 after guilty verdicts against its parent companies and manager in a federal fraud and racketeering trial.

So, it sounds like the most famous little whorehouse in the world remains alive, but in a new Reno location.

I guess that means now, you can get screwed at the slots and with the sluts in Reno.

Ya, like you couldn't before, lol.
