LEGALITY, REGULATION, AND SAFETY OF PROSTITUTION IN NEVADA : 3. TRANSPORTATION : 4. CUSTOMER PROCEDURES : A. GLOSSARY : 1. ABOUT THE UNOFFICIAL CHICKEN RANCH FAQ : 1.0 What is the Unofficial Chicken Ranch FAQ? : The Unofficial Chicken Ranch FAQ is a list of frequently asked questions : about the Chicken Ranch brothel near Las Vegas, Nevada. Its purpose is to : make information about the Chicken Ranch more widely available to men who : might enjoy it as much as I do. I am only just beginning work on this FAQ; : there's a LOT to say about the Chicken Ranch! I plan to expand and repost : the FAQ periodically. : 1.1 Is the Unofficial Chicken Ranch FAQ free? : It's shareware. If you visit the Chicken Ranch as a result of reading : this document, you should reimburse me. PLEASE do this! If I do not : receive reimbursement, I will stop posting and expanding the FAQ. : 1.2 OK, how do I reimburse you for my copy? : I am a member of the Chicken Ranch's Golden Egg Club. (See the section on : the Golden Egg Club, elsewhere in this document, for more information.) : I therefore receive $50 in credit at the Chicken Ranch for every 3 customers : I refer. If you party with a lady at the Chicken Ranch as a result of : reading this document, PLEASE tell the shift manager to log a validated : referral for Golden Egg Club member Blake Wilfong. Make sure she understands : that this is supposed to count for credit for me at the Chicken Ranch. If : she doesn't seem to know how to handle this, ask her to talk to her manager, : Russ Reade. That's it! It doesn't cost you a penny, and you aren't required : to reveal your identity. THANK YOU! : If you are a woman who goes to work at the Chicken Ranch as a result of : reading this FAQ, I don't receive any reimbursement for referring you. But : I would appreciate it if you would use your latitude in pricing and duration : of the party to give me a cost break or extra time. Also, please let Russ : Reade know that you heard about the Chicken Ranch from me. THANK YOU! : 1.3 What is your affiliation with the Chicken Ranch? : I have no affiliation with the Chicken Ranch. I am just a very satisfied : customer. The Chicken Ranch has neither endorsed nor condemned this : document, though Russ Reade has unofficially agreed to give me credit for : referrals generated from it, as described above. : 1.4 May I distribute the Unofficial Chicken Ranch FAQ? : You may distribute the Unofficial Chicken Ranch FAQ in ELECTRONIC FORM ONLY, : provided that NO FEE IS CHARGED. No portion of this document should appear : in printed form without written permission from me, Blake Wilfong. You are : encouraged to copy it for your friends or distribute it via BBSs or the : Internet. : 1.5 Can I ask my own questions about the Chicken Ranch? : You can email questions to the following Internet address: : blake@phoenix.phoenix.net : Please use the subject "Chicken Ranch Question". If I am too busy or if I : receive too many questions, I may not be able to answer your question : individually. But if I think others would be interested in the answer to : your question, I will add it to later versions of the FAQ! If you are : actually planning to visit the Chicken Ranch, their shift managers will be : happy to answer your questions. Call (702) 727-5721 long distance, or : 382-7870 from Las Vegas. : 1.6 Why does this FAQ seem so incomplete? : I wanted to get this information circulating as quickly as possible. I plan : to add to the FAQ as I go. Of course, if no one reimburses me for the FAQ, : I won't bother... : 2. LEGALITY, REGULATION, AND SAFETY OF PROSTITUTION IN NEVADA : 2.0 Is prostitution legal in Las Vegas? : Prostitution is ILLEGAL in Las Vegas. The laws of the state of Nevada forbid : prostitution in counties with populations exceeding 250,000. Las Vegas' : population far exceeds this number; hence prostitution is illegal in Clark : county and Las Vegas itself. In Las Vegas, you are COMMITTING A CRIME if you : pay for (or sell) sex, and it is quite likely that you will be jailed, : mugged, swindled, or exposed to Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). : 2.1 The Chicken Ranch serves the Las Vegas area, so isn't it illegal? : Though the Chicken Ranch is near Las Vegas, it actually resides in : neighboring Nye county. Nye county laws permit a handful of legal, licensed : brothels to operate under strict government regulations. The Chicken Ranch : is one of these, so it is completely legal. : 2.2 What regulations are imposed on the legal brothels? : There are limitations on the brothels' location, advertising, employment of : minors, etc. Of most interest to potential customers are the regulations : concern STD prevention. The use of condoms--even for oral sex--is : mandatory. Furthermore, the ladies are tested weekly for various STDs, : including HIV. Of course, any who test positive are not permitted to work. : Though a few applicants are initially screened out by the tests, STDs are : EXTREMELY rare among the ladies, and those working at the Chicken Ranch have : NEVER tested positive for HIV. : 2.3 Does the Chicken Ranch use any further safeguards against STDs? : The ladies at the Chicken Ranch inspect each customer before partying. They : are trained to recognize the symptoms of common STDs. They also wash the : customers' genitals using Betadine, an antibacterial surgical scrub. : 2.4 Personal question: Have YOU ever contracted an STD? : I have never contracted an STD from the Chicken Ranch (or elsewhere). I have : partied with 33 women at the Chicken Ranch. My personal opinion is that, : between the condoms, testing, inspections, and Betadine, it is HIGHLY : improbable that any customer will contract an STD at the Chicken Ranch. : 3. TRANSPORTATION : 3.0 How far is the Chicken Ranch from Las Vegas? : About 60 miles by automobile. You'll see serene desert countryside and a : gently winding scenic mountain pass. It's very relaxing! : 3.1 That's certainly too far to walk! So how do I get there? : You have several options. You can take a taxi, call for a complimentary : limousine, drive your own (or a rental) car, or fly your own plane there. : 3.2 Which is easiest? : The taxi is the easiest. If you are staying at any of the major : hotel/casinos, there will be a cab stand. Otherwise, use the phone book to : call for a taxi. In either case, ask to go to the Chicken Ranch. You will : make the driver's day! You will probably be required to pay in advance, as : the fare is typically $200 to $300!!! Even so, I've seen quite a few taxis : parked outside the Chicken Ranch. : 3.3 $200 - $300!?!? Sheesh! What's the NEXT easiest way to get there? : The limousine is also quite easy and much less expensive. Call the Chicken : Ranch at 382-7870 from Las Vegas for details. Basically, you'll have to work : out a pick-up time and place with the limousine service, and tell them how : to recognize you. The limousine is more comfortable than a cab, though you : may wind up sharing it with other customers. The driver works solely for : tips, so you are expected to tip him! Remember, he's probably doing more : work than the lady you'll party with, so tip appropriately. Back when I rode : the limousine, I tipped $20-$40 depending mostly on the number of other : riders. The drivers, usually older men who used the tips to supplement their : retirement incomes, seemed happy with this. An additional benefit of the : limousine is that the drivers (and the other passengers, if any) usually make : good conversation on the way out and back. A limitation of the limousine is : that the driver and other passengers are waiting for you to finish; extremely : long parties can pose problems. Also, you can't go visiting the local : casinos, etc. : 3.4 What about driving myself? : This is my favorite method these days. If you flew into Las Vegas, you'll : need a rental car, preferably with unlimited mileage. If you're coming from : the Strip or Downtown, take Interstate 15 south (toward Los Angeles). You'll : soon come across "Pahrump/Blue Diamond" exit 33. Use this exit, which will : take you west on Highway 160. You're in the right place if you see a big : "76" truck stop to your right after taking the exit. About 50 miles later, : you'll start seeing signs of civilization. Stay sharp and watch for a sign : that says "Nye County Line". Soon thereafter, turn left on Gamebird Road. : After about 3 miles, you'll come to a 4-way stop at Homestead Road. Turn : left and proceed about 6 miles. You'll see the Chicken Ranch on your left! : I know you'll be all excited, but PLEASE remember to tell the shift manager : that I sent you and should receive credit for it!!! : If you miss Gamebird Road, you'll find yourself on the main street of the : town of Pahrump, with a speed limit of 35. Turn back and try again. : Want a map? You got it! If you print it out, use a monospaced font... : PLEASE REMEMBER TO TELL THE SHIFT MANAGER THAT Las Vegas : BLAKE WILFONG SENT YOU & SHOULD RECEIVE CREDIT! / : / : Watch for / : "Nye County Line" / : Pahrump ----+--------------------~-------------------+ Pahrump/ : | / Highway 160 / Blue Diamond : | / Gamebird / Exit 33 : |/ Rd. 3 miles / : | / Interstate 15 : Homestead | / : Rd. 6 miles | / : | / : X Chicken to Los Angeles : Ranch : 3.5 How do I fly myself there? : The Chicken Ranch has a simple landing strip, marked by white tires. Call : them at (702) 727-5721 long distance, or 382-7870 from Las Vegas, for more : information. : 4. CUSTOMER PROCEDURES : 4.0 How do I get into the Chicken Ranch? : You will be standing at a white, metal fence with a gate. Press the button : to sound a bell inside the Chicken Ranch. Assuming you don't look drunk or : psychotic, the shift manager will press a switch inside that makes a buzzing : sound and unlocks the gate. Pull it open and proceed to the door, where the : shift manager will greet you. : If you are carrying any bags, briefcases, etc. they will have to be inspected : or left with the shift manager. You will not be allowed to take weapons or : cameras into the Chicken Ranch. : 4.1 What happens inside? : The shift manager asks you whether you wish to see the ladies. If you're : just there to buy souvenirs or want to visit the bar first, tell her now. : Otherwise, say "yes"! : The shift manager instructs you to take a seat on a couch in the parlor. She : will press another button that sounds a different bell signaling the ladies : to prepare for a lineup. Within a minute or two, the arrive in an adjoining : hallway. : "Ladies, please introduce yourselves," the shift manager says. The ladies : walk out from the hallway into the parlor, one by one. They are usually : attired in attractive evening dresses, but may be wearing lingerie or even : swimsuits--but their dignity is rightfully protected; nothing too revealing : is permitted. As they enter, they smile at you and say, "Hi, I'm (name)". : When they finish lining up in front of you, the shift manager asks you to : select a lady. You will usually have at least half a dozen ladies to choose : from. : 4.2 I'm terrible with names! What do I do? : Don't feel bad; most customers can't remember all the ladies' names. It's : fine to say, "The second from the right," or "The lady in the blue dress." : But I have almost always succeeded in actually naming the lady I want. : Here's how: As the first lady comes out, memorize her name. Now, as : the second lady comes out, decide whether you'd rather party with her or the : first lady. If you want to party with the second lady, forget about the : first lady and memorize the second lady's name. Continue this process as : the lineup forms. This way, you only have to remember one name, the name : of the most attractive woman you have seen so far. : Don't feel bashful! Once the lineup is complete, go ahead and say who you : like! It is frustrating, uncomfortable, and awkward for the ladies to remain : on display for customers who are scared to make a selection. I have seen : this happen time and again. Believe me, you have nothing to fear! And you : can't go wrong; all the ladies at the Chicken Ranch are wonderful. : 4.3 What if I don't find any of the ladies attractive? : This has NEVER happened to me. Some of the Chicken Ranch's ladies are so : beautiful I can't figure out what they're doing in a brothel; they should : be models! But if you REALLY want to back out now, at least do so : gracefully. Turn to the shift manager and say something like, "The ladies : are all lovely, but I don't see what I'm looking for. Thank you for your : time." They'll remember you as a true gentleman! : 4.4 Okay, I've chosen a lady. What next? : The lady will take you to her room. It's small but comfortable, with one : chair, a dresser, a double bed, a table, a window, and a closet. Many of the : ladies have televisions and VCRs, along with portable stereos. Sometimes : there is a bookcase with books and magazines. There may be tasteful : paintings or prints hanging on the walls, or a wall or the ceiling may be : mirrored. The walls are wood paneled and the rooms are well lit and very : clean. Most of the rooms have very nice adjoining bathrooms. These living : conditions are far superior to the dark, cramped cells at some of the other : brothels. : The lady will sit next to you on her bed and ask what you would like to do. : She may show you a menu, complete with staggering prices. Again, there's no : need to be bashful; this is this lady's job! Tell her exactly what you want : to do and you'll receive a party more to your liking. At this point, the : lady will state a price or ask how much you had in mind spending. : 4.5 How much will my party cost? : That depends on many factors: the individual lady, the services you want her : to provide, your bargaining abilities, and your appearance and demeanor. : The ladies are "independent contractors". That means that, to a limit, each : sets her own prices. Some ladies charge more than others, though competition : tends to keep their prices in line. : Last time I checked, the "house minimum" at the Chicken Ranch was $100. For : that, you received oral or hand sex only, and your party would last no more : than half an hour. A "straight lay" or "half-and-half", including more time : and some real foreplay, usually runs $200 to $400. Many more options exist : for those who can afford them. Some customers have paid thousands of dollars : for extravagant parties. : Prices are negotiable--to a limit--even if they're written on a menu. Often, : you can get a reduced rate simply by asking nicely or saying you can't spend : as much as the lady is requesting. If the lady persists in demanding more : than you think is reasonable, stand up and say you'd like to try someone : else. It's most likely that the lady you've chosen will come around at this : point and lower her price. If not, let her escort you back out to the : parlor, and ask the shift manager for a lineup of ladies who would be more : willing to give you a party in your price range. : Finally, bear in mind that the ladies are people. They dislike (and will : probably demand more money from) customers who are mean, drunk, smelly, or : shabbily dressed. : 4.6 What forms of payment does the Chicken Ranch accept? : Cash and travelers' cheques. They also have an ATM machine so you can use : a credit card--but you'll have to pay your credit card's cash advance fees. : 4.7 Enough about the money! Are we ready to have sex now? : The lady will ask you to drop your pants, but don't get excited--she wants : to inspect you. She will check for sores, venereal warts, chancres, puss : discharges, pubic lice, etc. You will be sent on your way if you don't pass : inspection. : Next, you pay the lady. She will take the money and leave the room. She : hand over the money to the shift manager and tell her what kind of party she : will be having with you. Meanwhile, you can go ahead and get undressed. : Do NOT wait under the bed covers! In most cases, the lady will want to party : with you on towels or a bedspread ON TOP of the bed covers. : When the lady returns, she'll wash your genitals, take her clothes off, and : start the fun! : 4.8 Are there any rules I should be aware of? : No kissing on the lips; it spreads germs. No sticking fingers inside the : lady's orifices. Condoms are absolutely required for both oral and vaginal : sex. : 4.9 Could you describe some of your experiences? : Sorry, but this is a respectable FAQ. Besides, I draw the line at relating : my sexual experiences to strangers. If you really want to know what it's : like, go book a plane ticket to Las Vegas! You won't be sorry! : 4.10 (Grumble.) All right, what happens when we're done? : The lady will remove your condom and wash your genitals again. Then you'll : both get dressed and she'll escort you back to the parlor. She will say : goodbye, then go to fetch the shift manager, who will let you out the door : and buzz you back out of the front gate. : 4.11 Am I expected to tip the lady? : Some of the ladies have signs in their rooms saying that tipping is : appreciated. A few may even go so far as to ask you for a tip. My policy is : that the agreed-on price should be adequate for standard services (i.e., no : tip). But exceptional service (e.g., an unusually long party or exquisitely : creative foreplay) warrants tipping. When I do tip, I make it at least 10% : of the cost of the party. : 4.12 Hey, this looks like the end!!! Where's the rest of this FAQ??? : I know it's incomplete, but I'm eager to get this FAQ posted. I'll add more : to it and repost as time permits. This includes the Golden Egg Club info, : alluded to but not present in this document (yet). : A. GLOSSARY : FAQ - A list of Frequently Asked Questions, with answers. : Lady - A woman who sells her services at the brothel. Calling her a whore or : prostitute would be like calling Itzhak Perlman a fiddler. : Lineup - The process by which the customer selects a lady with whom to party. : The ladies "line up" in from of the customer so that he may make a choice. : Party - The service for the customer pays. May include, but is not limited : to, sex. : Russ Reade - Overseer and part owner of the Chicken Ranch. : Shift Manager - The ladies' supervisor. She greets customers, organizes : lineups, maintains records, answers the telephone, etc. In many ways, her : role is similar to that of a "madam", but she is NOT the top-level : manager and does not own the brothel. : STD - Sexually Transmitted Disease : PLEASE remember to tell the shift manager that Blake Wilfong sent you and : should receive credit! This is the ONLY reimbursement I receive for my work : on this FAQ! Thanks. : -- : ----------------------------------------------------- : Blake Wilfong Houston, TX blake@phoenix.phoenix.net
