Redlite Ranch

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Redlite Ranch is a fictional legal brothel in Antelope Valley, Nevada, which is featured in Magic Carpet, and plays a role in Alone Together and Square One. It is described as the closest legal brothel to Las Vegas, being about 200 yards from the Clark County line. ^{MC 11}

In 1990 it was described in very unflattering terms. "The people in Vegas who are looking for a cheap quickie will go to an indie, or stop at a dump like the Redlite" which also had high turnover in girls working there.^MC07 Jennlynn Swift was of the opinion, "That's supposed to be the worst dump in the state."^MC11

It was purchased in 1992 through Shirley Hoffman and her backer George Bush, who has grandiose plans for the place. On reopening, Shirley, Claudia, Cindy and Tina moved from Bettye's Ranch. ^MC11

• Sara Hoffman is taking some time after college to work there, following a family tradition and after discovering the unfaithfulness of her former fiancee. ^MC10

• Sarah Ferguson was hired as a cook and managed to turn the restaurant into a draw on itself. Sarah's Kitchen improved relations with the locals, including the Mormon biship from nearby Piute Wells.^MC15

• Bartenders might change more frequently than the girls, but Danny Evachevski worked bar there from late 1999 while earning Nevada residency for a divorce.^SQ01

• Sandy Beach worked there in 1995 while sitting out her residency for a divorce.^MC15

• Mallory Fox, a professional dominatrix, was hired, possibly in 1999, although by 2002 she had moved on to her own studio in Chicago. ^MC31

• Jennlynn Swift was certainly the most famous worker at the Redlite. She would only work parttime, typically one weekend a month or so, and after a few years by appointment only. She was still working there in September 2002.^MC34
