Question 1

Are Nevada brothels really legal?

Accepted Answer

Whereas most U.S. states prohibit prostitution entirely, the Silver State takes an unusual approach in regulating it. Under state statute, counties whose population doesn't exceed 700,000 residents are permitted to license brothels, which a handful do. Guidelines for these establishments, whom must adhere to rigorous health and safety protocols, ensure both workers and patrons are protected in controlled settings. The system, while controversial to some, has been operating thus since the early 1970s - though interestingly, the largest counties like Clark (home to Las Vegas) prohibit it. Inspections occur regularly, with the facilities needing to meet exacting standards set forth by state regulators who monitors compliance. Despite common misconception, it isn't legal everywhere in Nevada; rather, only in specific counties meeting certain demographic criteria.

Question 2

How old do you have to be to work or visit a Nevada brothel?

Accepted Answer

According to state regulations, the law requires individuals to be 18 years or older to visit or work in a Nevada brothel. However, in Nye County, which includes the closest brothels to Las Vegas, such as The Chicken Ranch, Alien Cathouse, and Sheri’s Ranch, the minimum age is 21 years old. Remember to bring your ID if coming from Las Vegas! Both the Chicken Ranch and Sheri's Ranch are about an hour away from the Las Vegas Strip and use ID scanning software.

Question 3

How much is sex in a Nevada Brothel?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary, not only from brothel to brothel but also from lady to lady. Most of the ladies working in the brothels are independent contractors who set their own rates based on time and activity. Rates are typically not provided over email or phone. The best approach is to visit the brothel in person and negotiate with the lady of your choice. If you can't reach an agreement, you can ask to speak to someone else. You can also read a detailed blog post on this topic.

Question 4

Do I have to do a lineup?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the brothel. Some allow visitors to sit in the bar and enjoy drinks before choosing a lady. Others require speaking with a lady directly, while some insist on a lineup. It's best to contact the brothel beforehand to inquire about their specific procedures.
