Well....that was certainly awkward

[Tahsin]

Alrighty, let's try this again.... Greetings all, i just recently joined, I've been lurking about on several brothel websites for quite some time and well, I thought I'd make myself known also I would like to profusely apologize to the moderators for that um .... Uncalled for outburst, .......moving on, I've been largely looking at Sheris ranch for my first visit,'though I am well aware there is a whole other part of the forum dedicated to this, I shall ask regardless; is there any minior detail or small peice of etiquette which hasn't been covered in other guides; that I should be aware of? I would appreciate it very much

Greeting Tahsin,


I'm up North but there are many very well informed guys and gals here. Anyone want to help him out? Do you have any specific things you are wanting to know?

[highdrive]

You probably know his already but Sheri's has a bar and a traditional lineup as well. The entrance to the bar is clearly delineated and the entrance to get just a lineup is next to it (on the right). So if you prefer a more low key, hang out at the bar, grab a drink and decent food manner in which to approach ladies, head to the bar. (Though, I remember that the ladies aren't allowed to join you if you're eating.) if you want the lineup instead, go to that entrance.

Also, if you walk a lady and choose not to back to the bar after you leave, they may still force you to stay in an enjoining room with porn running on it 24/7. Then the madam will come out and ask you if anything went wrong and if you were interested in other ladies. She'll probably ask for your budget too...

I recommend leaving through the bar or asking for another lady there, though. While I can appreciate the attempt at accountability the "walk room" brings, it just seems like nothing but a hassle and I hate talking to people in a place where there is also porn on. Other than that though it's not bad.

Sheris used to have this unwritten rule where $500 was kind of the minimum party, and they really pushed for a higher price. This wasn't an absolute by any means. I don't know if this is still the case. You may or may not get a good party for that much. (You may get an hour for that price, or you may get five minutes. Anything is possible...just go in and be polite. But of course, be yourself too.)

Last time I was at Sheris was like April though. So of course YMMV.

Sheris also has food and hotel rooms, if you are interested in staying overnight.  Some nights there are locals that hang out in the bar that you can mix with.

[Dr. Who]

It's been awhile since I partied at Sheri's, since 2 of my favorites work next door at the Chicken Ranch ...LOL.  Although, I do make my rounds of all or most of the southern houses whenever I'm in town which is usually 1-2 times each year.

There's a lot of helpful information posted on SIN boards, once you filter out the noise ...LOL.  Besides the newbie info thread stickied in the general discussion forum, check out the travel info board where guys have been posting their trip reports and reviews.  I think there are a few reports on the southern Nevada brothels.

If you have any specific questions about Sheri's or LPIN, don't be afraid to ask.

Say again  high drive? you stumbled over your words a bit  there what  was that about "forcing" me to stay in an adjoining room... To speak to the Madame   I get the jest of what your saying but could you clarify? For instence shouldn't I be able to simply refuse and leave...?

Yea, they won't let you out the front door of the lineup room if you walk a lady. It's locked. But you can just walk into the bar and leave from there.

Ha Ha The last time I went to that place a few years ago and they pulled that shit on me, I asked "Am I fee to go?" After I asked it three times they answered "yes." I am not sure they get it. Well at least one of us doesn't interpret this "freedom" thing the same way, either me or them.  It sort of reminds me of the old give the car salesman, ah, the manager your car keys so they can price your trade in, while they try to hammer you into a sale one more time.  I guess maybe some Brothels that do this "see the madame" (before you leave) routine, say it is for "security" reasons.  The trouble is, while they are pleasant, I do not like waiting for somebody to go get a madame or manager and they presume that i want to answer questions or consider someone other than who I came to see.  That is why I never went back after a couple of times of that.

I never go to southern houses... But wow... This sounds so weird. I think I'd probably freak out a little bit.

[MrTShirt]

Sheris used to ask you to sit in the parlor where they do the lineups.  Apparently, now they have a "walk room".  Regardless, the general reason is so the Madame can ask you if you want to see another gal or can she help in some way.  Now, if you party, they may still ask you to stop in the "walk room" after the party to ask you if the party met your expectations.

I would not make it into any big deal.

You can also simply decline the "walk room" and go to the bar.  Maybe have a drink.  Maybe chat with some other girls.  Maybe play some pool with a girl.  Be relaxed about all of it.  The Madame surely can find you for the debrief.

If the Madame gives you some static, just smile and tell her she is "looking beautiful today".

If things get heated, just put your arm around her and say "Let's go chat with Dena".  (Dena is the real Madame, (head manager).)

[Dr. Who]

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Sheri's "10 minute rule".     If you're in the bar and approached by a lady, she can only talk to you for 10 minutes.  If you wish to talk to her longer, you have to tell the hostess/manager.  I know that rule has bugged a number of guys who frequent Sheri's ...LOL.

The 10 minute rule is so that other ladies can have their chance to talk to you.  It sorta like speed dating ...LOL.  Although for some guys, it also give them an easy way out, if they're not interested in partying with a particular lady who approaches them. 

[MrTShirt]

Sheris does have their "10 minute rule" so all the girls can cycle through and have a chance to do a party.

However, if you have already partied and are just hanging out, the girls may chat longer and the Madame may not object.  You might want to talk with the Madame.  For some girls, if you keep buying them drinks, they will stay.  One girl even ate her meal with me while I ate mine.  She let the Madame know.  Work with the house rules, but don't be afraid to suggest what you would like.

Be flexible, be flexible with the house rules, be flexible with your own approach.

10 minute rule for a lady approaching a potential client..... "speed dating"  ..... an exception -- if a potential client is quite interested in a lady then it's likely not necessary for a lady or a potential client to inform a hostess to talk longer than 10 minutes in the bar.

WALK ROOM -- "general reason is so the madam can ask you if you want to see another gal or she can help in any way".  Depends on which HOSTESS  and/or the situation? In the WALK ROOM a hostess could attempt to UPSELL a potential client.  A story..... during a failed negotiation a lady said "the average Sheri's lady charges a rate of $1,500/hr".  Minutes later a failed negotiation occured.  After the failed negotiation in the WALK ROOM a hostess said "the average Sheri's lady charges a rate of $2,000/hr".  Hmmmm.....  heard two different averages in minutes.

A purpose of a WALK ROOM is a hostess may ask, "What is your budget"?  Therefore, my suggestion is to avoid the WALK ROOM.

Sheri's used to be my favorite brothel.  In the past experienced OUTSTANDING PARTIES.  Though sometimes changes happened to change someone's opinion.  Nevertheless, some suggestions:

-- Whatever you do, don't say you're new.

-- Appointments could work as long as there's communication with a lady beforehand.

-- During negotiations don't say your maximum budget upfront!

-- A lady likely will start the negotiations at a rate of at least $2,000/hr.  If a lady won't negotiate then WALK.

-- Pay by CA$H and say you don't have any credit cards with me.

[Tahsin]

Thanks for the advice COH I'll be sure to fallow it. But you know? I think I'll give Sheris the benefit of the doubt as most of the objections on this particular thread seem to be regarding management themselves, so yes I'll go in and see what their is to see, as for the "walk room" I should be able to forgo that by just heading straight from the ladies room into the bar and then leaving. oh also when you mentioned "don't say your new" that might be a problem because even if I lie about it, I'm a virgin so she'll know, if I don't lie about it then she'll STILL know that I'm a virgin, if I refuse to answer she'll press me and before long, know something's up. So yeah, forgive me but that particular point seems a bit futile no matter what. 

You can expect my review in late March, of next year  after that I think I'll be signing off indefinitely I've learned all I needed to know from earlier perusing so I'll be alright, thank you for all your advice!

[ChicagoBob]

Welcome Tahsin!  Sheri's might be ok for your first visit, but stand firm on your price.   Newer girls are generally cheaper than those more established.   I can still get a great 1 hour session for $500 or so (plus a compted room & drinks).  "Off" nights (Monday & Tuesday) are usually the cheapest.   Scan the parlor when you walk in to see how busy the girls are and how many are working.

Don't be afraid to walk if the price is too high!   No matter if you are in Pahrump, Reno, or Elko there are always at least 4 brothels within a 20 minute drive.
