Sheri's Ranch

Sheri's Ranch

Sheri's Ranch is a legal brothel, resort and spa in Pahrump, Nevada. Unlike many other brothels in the state, it styles itself like a "resort" with upscale rooms and furnishings, tennis courts, a spa and outdoor swimming pool. Also on premises is a sports bar.

In January 2001, the business was purchased by Chuck Lee, a retired police officer and car dealer from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lora Shaner, a former madam of the brothel, wrote a book about her experiences there: "Madam: Chronicles of a Nevada Cathouse" (1999, ISBN 0929712579), later reissued and extended as "Madam: Inside a Nevada Brothel" (2001, ISBN 0759603677).

In 2005, Sheri's Ranch sought local zoning changes in Pahrump in order to build a 700-plus residential subdivision on its 330 acres known as Mountain Shadows Resort.
