Redlite Ranch

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Redlite Ranch is a fictional legal brothel in Antelope Valley, Nevada (Piute County) which is featured in Magic Carpet, and plays a role in Alone Together. It appears to be somewhat NW of Las Vegas, near the site of an abandoned WW2 bomber runway; a few miles towards town from Jackass Flats.

In 1990 it was described in very unflattering terms. It was purchased in 1992 through Shirley Hoffman and her backer George. In Magic Carpet Chapter 11 Shirley explains George's grandiose plans for the place,

Shirley, Claudia, Cindy and Tina moved from Bettye's Ranch on reopening. Sara Hoffman is taking some time after college to work there, following a family tradition and after discovering the unfaithfulness of her former fiancee.

Jennlynn Swift is still working there at the time of Alone Together.

The location in Piute County is fictional, as is Piute County itself. There is a real Antelope Valley, Nevada 89310 - http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=antelope+valley,+nv&ie=UTF8&hq=antelope+valley,&hnear=Nevada&ll=40.052191,-117.308493&spn=0.0385,0.089607&t=h&z=14 but this is nowhere near Las Vegas.
