Once you get the go-ahead to come work a tour, they'll even pick you up from the airport in a limousine.Īaron, the brothel's marketing director, told me that "there's never been a problem filling slots at Sheri's. Prospective employees are advised to demonstrate some personality. That's why there's a comments section of the application as well.

They request nothing more than a few photos of your face and body, but it's difficult to stand out on that alone. You can see the application page here (NSFW). Women seeking work at Sheri's need to be licensed independent contractors for the state of Nevada and complete an application process with the Ranch. Dena told me that very rarely is this business a woman's plan. There seem to be as many stories of breaking into the prostitution business as there are women working here. Move just a couple miles west and it'd be a different story. On this side of the line, Sheri's Ranch operates without issue.

My driver, Fabio, is a full-time employee of Sheri's Ranch. The drive from downtown Vegas to Pahrump is an exploration of big empty space, armadillos, and dead cell zones. (Incidentally it's also where forgotten Apple co-founder Ron Wayne currently calls home.) Sheri's Ranch is in Pahrump, Nev., a rural desert community an hour outside Vegas where prostitution is legal, alive, and well. Anyone wanting to legally exchange money for sex has to get out of Las Vegas to do so.
