A very successful, American sex worker has sued the State of Nevada to reopen the state’s brothels and bordellos.
Alice Little who is actually the highest-paid sex worker in the US opened up a GoFund me account to help her raise legal fees after the Governor of Nevada, Steve Sisolak, and Little’s employer, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch closed shop back in March.
“Nevada’s governor has unfairly kept the legal brothels closed while allowing other high-contact businesses, such as massage parlors, spas, and salons, to reopen,” Alice Little said in a GoFundMe statement to raise the legal fees for the lawsuit.
“Nevada’s legal brothels have kept sex workers safe and provided a legal and respectable outlet for sex workers to ply our trade for nearly fifty years, and now the brothels are in danger of closing forever and the livelihoods of sex workers are in dire jeopardy.”
While bars and restaurants were able to reopen in late May during Phase 2, brothel doors have remained closed.
Little’s complaint states that if Governor Sisolak keeps the brothels closed, registered sex workers should be able to use their licenses to service their clients at either private locations or at their homes.
Prior to Little filing her lawsuit, Governor Sisolak told the Nevada Independent that brothels are not on top of his priority list.
“Certainly we’re going to have to look at getting kids back into schools before we look at getting folks back into brothels,” he told the news outlet. “We’ll be addressing it some time, certainly, but it’s not in the immediate future.”

Ever since the pandemic struck, a lot of sex workers have been affected by it having a heavy financial burden with sites like OnlyFans being flooded with non-sex workers looking to make money, in the process making it way difficult for sex workers to make a living online.
“It can’t be understated how unfriendly the internet is for sex workers. So to transition to having to process our own payments, having to advertise when many of our websites are blacklisted and hidden on Twitter, it is incredibly challenging,” Little told Insider’s Julia Naftulin in June.
