Cottontail Ranch was a legal, licensed brothel in Nevada that opened in October 1967.

In 1967, Howard Hughes allegedly made several visits to the Cottontail Ranch for entertainment while he was living in Las Vegas.

All the real estate was purchased by real estate investor Lanny D. Love; Miss Love also purchased a luxury ranch called Lida Ranch a few miles from the brothel.

And an additional 3,300 acres (1,300 ha) in a ghost town called Lida.

[citation needed] A fire destroyed what was left of the Cottontail Ranch in Esmeralda County on September 5, 2022.
