GPS Information:
    Coordinates: 36° 56' 29.5"N -- 116° 43' 36.65"W note1

Historical Name(s):
    Fran's Star Ranch, a name still seen on aeronautical charts due to its now-abandoned runway.
    Vickie's Star Ranch
    Jolly Dolly, original name when first opened for business.
    Cottonwood Club, original proposed name in 1958.
Along the west side of U.S. 95, about 3 miles north of its junction with NV 374 in the center of Beatty, Angel's Ladies brothel sat at the end of a short (about three city blocks long) dirt entrance road that actually spans the Amargosa River (not much more than a dry wash most of the year around here) and connects it to the highway. The turnoff was identified by a sign as well as an old, crashed Beechcraft airplane, indicative of the fact that you also would cross a now-abandoned (dirt) landing strip located on the property (listed on aeronautical charts under the brothel's former name: Fran's Star Ranch).

Located in a pink building about a quarter-mile down the access road, Angel's also had a large parking and turnaround area for big-rigs, and featured a swimming pool fed by a natural hot spring located on their scenic, 77-acre property in the appropriately named Oasis Valley. Skinny-dipping and nude frolicking was the rule during the warm weather months at this pool. Angel's Ladies also had a nicely frunished VIP trailer to the rear of the main house for extended parties. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere there made this brothel a very popular place in spite of it's more remote location relative to Las Vegas and the fact that it's license only permitted a maximum of five ladies to be working at any given time.

Recent History
Having decided to retire, long-time owners Mack and Angel Moore had their business on the market for some time. On Septemeber 6, 2005, the Nye County Commissioners approved their sale of this brothel to a group known as JBJ Ranch, Inc. and headed by Jon King. Those owners retained the Angel's Ladies name and began to make various improvements over time to the property, including a new roof on the main building, new carpeting, and interior decor. Contrary to prior rumors, the famous spring-fed pool on the property was included in the sale and the new owners planed to improve both it and its surroundings for the summer of 2007. They also overhauled this brothel's website, and upgraded e-mail access for their ladies. But since web access at the brothel was dependent on an often unreliable satellite connection, they were sometimes be slow in responding to e-mails.

In the fall of 2007, JBJ Ranch, Inc. hit hard times and closed Angel's Ladies brothel on September 20, 2007 after deciding not to spend the money for a 4th quarter operating permit form Nye County. Subsequent rumours had the property and being sold to the then-owners of the Pussycat family of brothels in Winnemucca. This speculation turned out to be untrue. Another rumour had is being converted to an all-Asian lady house, similar to Inez's of Elko. Still another had former propriator Mack Moore getting back in to the ownership picture, but reportedly he balked at a deal once the house was closed and the license lapsed.

However, Mack Moore did eventally reaquire this property and small brothel on the north side of Beatty in 2008, and immediately applied for a license to operate it from Nye County. Unfortunately, the county licensing board dragged its feet on approving the license for well over a year until they finally voted 4-2 in favor of Mr. Moore on October 20, 2009 and Angel's Ladies brothel once again open for business soon thereafter. However, due to his advancing age, Mr. Moore decided to permanently retire in the Summer of 2014 after issues with the county licensing board involving a possible financial partner arose earlier that year. Unable to find another suitable buyer for the brothel, Angel's Ladies closed for good that summer, ending a long and storied history of legal prostitution at this location.

Bikini's Gentlemen's Club and Brothel - CLOSED

Beatty, NV  89003
Website:

Phone Numbers:

Former short-line railroad owner Guy Brenkman had built a spectacular oasis here in the high desert, located about three miles south of Beatty, along the road that connects U.S. Highway 95 to the town's airport. Unfortunately, it is now permanently CLOSED, after the death of its owner.

This establishment combined a traditional gentlemen's club with a legal Nevada bordello. Bikini's eschewed a traditional brothel parlor in favor of a very spacious, full sports-style bar, with adjacent areas for pole dancing, pool playing, and conversation. In the back of the house, past a beautiful courtyard, all of the "party rooms" where all sexual activities took place were totally separate from the ladies' residental bedrooms. Bikini's did not feature traditional lineups per se, but guests interacted with the ladies as they performed floor shows (pole dancing) in the establishment's main room. But unlike in a traditional strip club, the entertainers were all licensed courtesans. So it was possible for patrons to negotiate with these ladies for activities much more intimate than simple lap dances or private shows. But those services, along with others such as massages, were also available for those who were not be seeking more explicit sexual activities.

When approaching Beatty from Las Vegas or Pahrump via northbound U.S. Highway 95, the building that housed Bikini's remains clearly visible on your left (day or night, unless it's quite foggy). Keep an eye out for Nye County (NY) postmile 56, the well-marked left turn for Airport Road will be about another 0.8 miles past that small black on white postmile sign. Once on Airport Rd, proceed west about 0.4 miles to Bikini Lane, where you will turn left (south) and proceed to the former brothel's ample paved parking lot.

To get to Bikini's from Beatty, head southeast on southbound U.S. Highway 95 from the 4-way stop at Nevada 374 in the center of town. After 2.9 miles you will reach Airport Road, where you will turn right (west). Proceed 0.4 miles and Bikini's will be on your left, via Bikini Lane.

History
According to a Spetember 3, 2010 article in the Pahrump Valley Times, a new brothel was then under construction near the Beatty airport. The facility is located at the site of an old settlement known as Gold Center, on Airport Road. It was less than a mile west of (and visible from) U.S. 95, about three miles south of the center of Beatty through the Amargosa Narrows. At the time of the article, there was no word on county approval, but the article did state that a brothel licence has been applied for by those building the facility.

It was subsequently reported in late 2010 that the owner/applicant is Guy Brenkman, that his establishment would be known as Bikini's Gentlemen's Club, and that it will be licensed for 1-5 working ladies. A website was constructed and has been placed online. At that time it was hoped that the recently completed facility would be fully licensed and open for business sometime in January 2011.

On January 18, 2011, Nye County officials approved liquor and brothel licenses for Bikini's Gentleman's Club. A grand opening for Nevada's newest brothel was held on Saturday, January 22, 2011. This establishment had around a two and one-half year run before being CLOSED on June 30, 2013, after the club's quarterly operating license has not renewed reportedly due to serious health problems affecting its propriator, Mr. Brenkman, as well as other issues. Those ill health reports turned out to be true, as sadly he passed away on September 25 of that year. The current ownership and status of the property, as well as the brothel licence, are unclear, though it seems doubtful that another cathouse will open there anytime soon.

(1) Northern Route:

(1:1) Get to U.S. 95 North as follows:

• From most central parts of town (including "The Strip"), take I-15 North (or in a very few cases, I-15 South) to downtown's "spaghetti junction" interchange (exit #42) and use the ramp for U.S. 95 North (Tonopah), also known as the Oran K. Gragson Freeway.
• From most of Henderson or other eastern parts of metro Las Vegas (including Boulder City), use I-515 North, which continues as U.S. 95 North (Gragson Fwy) past the "spaghetti junction" interchange (exit #76) at I-15.
• From western parts of Henderson, use I-215 West to exit #10A: I-15 North (Las Vegas). Proceed on I-15 North to the "spaghetti junction" interchange (exit #42) and then take the ramp for U.S. 95 North (Tonopah), also known as the Oran K. Gragson Freeway.
• From western parts of metro Las Vegas (including Summerlin), take your best local route to U.S. 95 North.
• From most of North Las Vegas, take your best local route to U.S. 95 North.
• From Nellis Air Force Base and nearby areas, take I-15 North to the Las Vegas Beltway (Clark County 215) at exit #52. Then proceed on the Beltway west to U.S. 95 North.
• From any points northeast of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, take I-15 South to the Las Vegas Beltway (Clark County 215) at exit #52. Then proceed on the Beltway west to U.S. 95 North.

(1:2) Continue northbound on U.S. 95, past the roads to Mt. Charleston (NV 157 & NV 156), through the tiny town of Indian Springs (be sure to SLOW DOWN here!), past the Clark - Nye County border, the turnoffs for Mercury (access point for the Nevada Test Site), NV 160 (to Pahrump), and NV 373 (in Amargosa Valley), all the way to Airport Road on the south side of the town of Beatty - a total of 112.19 miles from I-15 in downtown Las Vegas (or around 100.27 miles from the CR-215 Beltway interchange on the northwest side of town).
(1:3) Here the routes diverge depending upon which brothel you wish to visit. To reach Bikini's Gentlemen's Club, turn left (west) onto Airport Rd and follow it 0.40 miles to Bikini Ln (the access road to the brothel) where you turn left. To get to Angel's Ladies, continue following U.S. 95 north for another 5.85 miles, into and through Beatty (one right turn required, at the 4-Way STOP in the center of town). The entrance to Angel's Ladies is located on the west side of the highway, just beyond the northern town limits, at the wrecked airplane (2.98 miles past the right turn in town, or about 0.7 miles past postmile NY 62). After turning left onto Angel's access road, proceed another 0.25 mile to the parking lot outside of their main building.

(2) Southern (via Pahrump) Route:

(2:1) Get on I-15 southbound (toward Los Angeles) and proceed to exit #33: Blue Diamond Road (NV 160 - Pahrump) on the south side of Las Vegas, where you will exit the freeway. The first stoplight you will encounter (west of those for other ramps at this exit) is at Dean Martin Drive, just past the Silverton Hotel on your left. Stay in the right lane on the freeway exit ramp to merge directly onto west-southwest-bound Blue Diamond Road (westbound Nevada 160).
(2:2) Remain on NV 160 West about 9 miles later when Blue Diamond Road splits off as NV 159 (to its namesake town & mine). From that point on, highway 160 is the Pahrump Valley Highway, on which you will proceed over Mountain Springs Summit, and remain on it all the way through the rapidly-growing town of Pahrump, to its western terminus at a rural T-interstction with U.S. 95 - a total of 79.38 miles from that that traffic signal back at Dean Martin Dr (or 76.01 from the stoplight at Rainbow Blvd.).
(2:3) Turn left (west at this junction) to take U.S. 95 North and proceed 42.33 miles to Airport Road on the south side of the town of Beatty.
(2:4) From here, follow the directions found above in section 1:3 to reach the brothels of Beatty.

Notes: The "Southern (via Pahrump)" route is often better during "rush hours"; especially so if if you're staying at a hotel nearer to the south end of "The Strip", near McCarran airport, in Henderson, or elsewhere on the south side of metro Las Vegas. Also, this is the route to take if you want to make a side trip to the Pahrump-area brothels on your way to Beatty.
