Nevada is the only state in the Union to have legalized prostitution. Before coming here, I thought it was all over the state, but it is only legal in certain counties. In Clark County, where Las Vegas is located , it is against the law. The closest brothels are located here in Pahrump, NV., 60 miles SW of Vegas. There are 21 in Nevada. The famous Mustang Ranch is located in Reno. Amazing that this little town that doesn't even have a theater or clothing store (besides Walmart) has 3 brothels. While we were out geocaching we saw 2 of them. They both have tours. I thought that would be very interesting to go on a tour. I had to talk Denny into it. I called first because I wasn't sure if the tours were only for prospective clients or anyone to see.
One even has a restaurant that I was told had excellent food. Off we went for lunch and a tour. The food was excellent, the best Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I have ever had. The Bloody Mary was the biggest we had ever seen (and very good). We went in the door that said Sports Bar. The other door said Girls, Girls, Girls. There were alot of ladies sitting in the booths waiting for prospective clients. We did see several guys and ladies go through the other door. Some of the ladies had short, tight dresses on. Others had VERY skimpy outfits. After lunch we took a tour. One of the ladies escorted us. Not sure what I was expecting, but we got to see more than I thought we would. She showed us the main room where the girls line up, different themed rooms, the pool and hot tub area and the list of all their activities. Each girl sets their own prices, but from what the website says, anywhere from $500 pr hr to $10,000 a night.
It is certainly nothing we ever thought we would see or do, but it was unsual and interesting. We can cross it off our bucket list, eventho, it was CERTAINLY NEVER on it. Our travels have taken us to many places, but, this is one place we never thought of.
This is the Chicken Ranch. In the 1980's there was film staring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton called "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". We never saw it but it was billed as a comedy and very funny. This Chicken Ranch was the basis for the movie. When it was forced out of town, it relocated to Pahrump.
This is the one we went to, Sheri's Ranch. It is co owned by a Las Vegas attorney and a local politician. Not sure what he is running for, but we see his billboards all over the city. Says he will "fight for your guns" and " fight for the constitution " All the girls live here.
I will say that I surprised that it wasn't more plush or fancy. Both brothels seemed a little on the plain side. Both of these brothels have a limo service to Las Vegas. They will pick you up anywhere and take you back.
