Interspersed throughout the vast, open landscape of the Wild West were settlements, towns, and cities full of saloons, brothels, boarding houses, and other establishments where pleasure was for sale. Adult pleasure in the Wild West went along with drinking, fighting, and crime, contributing to less-than-luxurious lives for Wild West saloon girls. Conversely, madams could hold a large amount of wealth and influence. Madams managed their staff who serviced men visiting the boarding houses, parlors, and saloons where they set up shop.
