Main Page Southern NV Rural U.S. 95 Brothels (Shady Lady & Cottontail):

There were once three smaller brothels in the stretch of U.S. 95 between the gateway towns of Beatty (from the south) and Tonopah (from the north). The first (when heading northbound), found just on northern outskirts of Beatty, was Angel's Ladies and is discussed separately on this page (along with Bikini's Gentlemen's Club, which was just south of that town and not depicted on the map at left). The other two cathouses, the Shady Lady (CLOSED on Dec 14, 2014) and the Cottontail Ranch (CLOSED since 2004), are discussed here below.

General Directions to Beatty:
        from the South or West (Las Vegas, Pahrump, or Southern CA)
          Please see this page for detailed instructions on getting to Beatty.

General Directions to Tonopah:
        from the Northwest (or West) (Reno, Carson City, Northern CA, or East Central CA)
        from the North (Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Carlin, or Elko)
        from the Northeast (Wells, Ely, or most of Utah)
        from the East (Lincoln County, NV, or southern Utah)

The Shady Lady was also known for its "posted price" menu (i.e., set pricing except for certain "special engagements" and additional negotiated activities) and for the fact that the ladies did not conduct business in their living quarters - there were several themed "VIP suites", plus a western-themed "bungalow" overlooking the pool area, where all parties took place. Also, they were not open 24/7 like most other brothels. The Shady Lady's website stated that their operating hours were from 7:00 AM to Midnight daily, though overnight stays with their ladies were available.

A new 1700 square foot expansion was completed in June 2006, according to the Shady Lady's owner, Bobbi Davis. There was space for an additional seven ladies, as well as a new computer room and kitchen. Bobbi had also hoped to have larger lineups once that the construction of the expanded living quarters was over, but the Great Recession of 2008 got in the way of those plans. Visitors had to keep an eye out for a few peacocks and other feathered creatures roaming the lovely grounds of this once beautiful oasis in the high desert.

History
In January 2010, the Shady Lady became the first legal brothel in Nevada to hire a male prostitute, dubbed the "prostidude" by wags, for clients desiring such a service. However, this experiment in gender equality did not ultimately pan out, though Bobbi said at the time of its demise that she was open to tyring again if an interested gentleman could be found.

In the summer of 2007, Ms. Davis and the American Civil LIberties Union (ACLU) won a major U.S. District Court battle striking down Nevada's prohibition on brothel advertising. Successfully arguing that other legal, regulated enterprises have the right to diecretely advertise throughout the state, the decision by Judge James Mahan made it possible for rural houses such as the Shady Lady to place "help wanted" ads for non-prostitute positions (e.g., cooks, bartenders, and housekeeping personnel) in the metropolitan newspapers of Las Vegas and Reno, both of which are located in counties where LPIN brothels are not allowed to operate. It also affirmed that brothel and individual courtesan websites were now free of the fear of violating that former ad ban. All in all, the court decision was a major victory for all of the legal brothels, both large and small, throughout the state. However, it was to be a short-lived victory, as in March of 2010, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Mahan's ruling and upheld the advertising ban.

The Shady Lady first opened in 1992.

Located in Esmeralda County, the Cottontail was found at the southwest corner of the junction of Nevada 266 and U.S. 95, 41.12 miles south of Tonopah (about 15 miles past the town of Goldfield) or 51.30 miles north of Beatty. This crossroads is known as Lida Junction, since it is the turnoff (from U.S. 95) used to get to the tiny settlement of Lida, which is located a few miles to the west-southwest on Nevada S.R. 266. The Cottontail dated back to October 1967, according to its former website, and its property also contained the "Lida Junction Airport", a single-runway airfield.

Like many of the other Nevada brothels located in isolated, rural locations, the Cottontail's management had often faced problems in the recruitment and retention of ladies. As a result, in the early 2000s its former owners had to temporarily close this brothel on several occassions due to a lack of courtesans. After being purchased by Moe Greene in late 2003 (who in early 2004 also bought Mona's Ranch in Elko), and with the debut of their new website (in mid-December 2003), it was hoped the Cottontail would finally have a steady core of working ladies and be open for business on a more permanent basis. However, by the Spring of 2005 the Cottontail had once again fallen upon hard times, and it has been closed ever since. Mr. Greene is apparently no longer involved in the ownership, and this brothel is up for sale at an asking price of $1 million (see the website listed above, if sill active, which also contained some interesting historical data about the Cottontail).

• From Reno (and parts of Northern California near and along U.S. 395 or I-80), you have one basic all-weather route (with two alternatives within) and one additional, non-wintertime alternate route:
  • All-Weather route:
    • Get to the junction of I-80 and U.S. 395 in Reno.
    • Take I-80 East 31 miles to Fernley, exit #26: Nevada S.R. 427 (To U.S. 50A & U.S. 95A).
    • Bear right at the end of the exit, taking NV 427 as it curves into Fernley. At East Street (U.S. 95A South), you have a choice of two alternatives to get to Schurz:
      Alternative 1: via Yerington - longer (only by about 4 miles though), but easy to follow:
      • Turn right, onto U.S. 95A South (East Street), then proceed on it through Silver Springs and Yerington (where two left turns are required), then on to its southern terminus at mainline U.S. 95 in Schurz (a grand total of 72 miles from I-80).
      Alternative 2: via Fallon - shorter (not by much though), but more confusing:
      • Proceed straight at East Street onto U.S. 95A North / U.S. 50A East.
      • A little over a mile later, turn right to remain on U.S. 50A East (toward Fallon), then follow it to its eastern terminus at mainline U.S. 50 (Leetville Junction), about 20 miles total from I-80.
      • Continue straight, onto U.S. 50 East, and proceed another 9 miles into downtown Fallon, and the junction with mainline U.S. 95.
      • At the Churchill County Courthouse, turn right onto U.S. 95 South (toward Hawthorne) and follow it 39 miles to Schurz.
    • From Schurz, follow U.S. 95 South past Walker Lake, through Hawthorne, and on to Coaldale Junction, a total of about 97 miles.
    • At Coaldale Junction, U.S. 6 East joins U.S. 95 South, as the combined (multiplexed) routes head east for around 40 miles to Tonopah, where U.S. 6 splits off to the east and U.S. 95 turns south toward the brothels described on this page.

    • At Delta, U.S. 6 and U.S. 50 merge (multiplex) for the journey into Nevada. Follow this road 88 miles to the Utah - Nevada border, then beyond for another 37 miles to the intersection with U.S. 93 South at Major's Place Junction.
    • Continue straight on U.S 6 West (now multiplexed with U.S. 50 West and U.S. 93 North), as it curves northwest to reach Ely (about 26 miles later).

  • (2) Once at Ely, take U.S. 6 West for about 167 miles to its junction with U.S. 95 South at Tonopah.

  How to get to Tonopah from points to the East:
  
  • From Lincoln County, NV
    • Get to the Extraterrestrial Highway (Nevada S.R. 375) at its junction with NV 318 (just west of U.S. 93. Take it for its entire 98 mile trek to Warn Springs.
    • At Warm Springs, turn left, taking U.S. 6 West the remaining 49 miles to U.S. 95 South at Tonopah, the gateway to the southern Nevada rural brothels.
  • From Southern Utah
    • Get to the Utah - Nevada border on Utah S.R. 56 West:
      • From Cedar City (I-15 exit #59), go west on UT 56 for about 61 miles)
      • From St. George (I-15 exit #6 or #8), get to Utah S.R. 18 North, then:
        • Follow UT 18 North for 42 miles (from center of St. George) to its northern terminus at UT 56
        • Take UT 56 West the remaining 25 miles to the Nevada state line
    • At the state line, Utah 56 becomes Nevada 319. Follow it west for its entire 21 mile length until you reach its western terminus at U.S. 93, juse west of Panaca.
    • Turn left, taking U.S. 93 South (toward Las Vegas) and remain on it as it curves west, about 14 miles later, in the town of Caliente (which is español  for hot).
    • About 43 miles west of Caliente, when U.S. 93 curves south once again to follow the White River valley into Clark County, you will be turning off of it (to the right) to get to the famous Extraterrestrial Highway (Nevada S.R. 375). But you actually turn off of U.S. 93 onto Nevada S.R. 318 North first, then shortly thereafter turn left onto NV 375 (North, I believe; though overall it runs more west than it does north - and it actually goes southwest for a while shortly hereafter, before swinging northwest).
    • Once on the "E.T. Highway", follow it for its entire 98 mile length, over Coyote Summit (near what was once called "Freedom Ridge" by those wanting to see what was going on in the infamous "Area 51" at nearby Groom Lake), through the small settlement of Rachel (home of the famous Little Ale'e'Inn, a tavern which is the unnofficial headquarters for UFO enthusiasts), past the Lincoln - Nye county line, and finally to the northern (western) terminus of NV 375 at U.S. 6 in the tiny burg of Warm Springs.
    • At Warm Springs, turn left, taking U.S. 6 West the remaining 49 miles to U.S. 95 South at Tonopah, the gateway to the southern Nevada rural brothels.
