 Mustang Ranch (1955-2003) - Rest in Peace

I just checked eBay and only dregs remain to be sold. Matchbooks, decks of cards, shot glasses, and a few other memorabilia can still be bid on, but not much longer. It looks like everything is now history for the first brothel to be operated legally in the State of Nevada.

The Bureau of Land Management is the current owner of the property, having taken possession from the Internal Revenue Service. Once the land is cleared, the 340 acres will probably become a campground, but that's not definite.

The Mustang Ranch became world famous and will be historic. What probably won't be remembered is that the IRS was the reason for its demise. The IRS got Al Capone and the Mustang Ranch.

An overview of the last of the ranch can be found at CNN.com.
