There is no way the brothels will survive using her rules.  You have less than half of the ladies so half the income. Or you double your prices.  But you won't have many customers.

Plus the brothels won't reopen until social distancing and masks are no longer.  So when the Raiders can have a full stadium. The Vegas Strip is packed and Casinos are back at full operation without all the bs social distancing and masks will the brothels even have a chance to open. 

BTW: Do you really think the Governor cares if the brothels every reopen?

So wildfire, How many parties a day do you think a brothel has to book to cover its working costs?

if anything the masks may help people who wish to conceal their identity. guys who would otherwise not show up for whatever reason. personally i don't really care either way i'll still show up mask or no mask.

Wildfire do you think the brothels will have to propose an opening plan to the state?

Are you just trying to start a fight Geo    Then why, have a 25 lady house and only have 12 ?  Not Smart!  You piss off the ladies that you won't let work not smart!
And I know it's hard to believe but a brothel is a for-profit business so just breaking even or just losing or making a little is not the goal.
Open up for a maybe you might make some money.  The smartest plan is to stay close until the state declares safe to return to normal with no restrictions.

Sence Steve Sisolak the Governor of Nevada was the one who closed the brothels he is the one that will have to rescind his emergency orders.
And remove all restrictions that have been put in place because of COVID-19.
So for the brothels to open before the State of Nevada has been declared safe to return to per COVID-19 operations then yes the brothels would need special permission to open from the Governor.

I guess that is a positive way of looking at things. But for me, masks, social districting, take my temp is all a no go for me. I personally won't be back in Nevada or a brothel until all restrictions are lifted and business goes back to pre COVID-19 operation producers. 
But there is a positive for me all the money I am saving not going to Nevada 4 times a year.

Dennis Hof used to say it only took 2-3 parties a day to cover the daily operating costs of the brothel. The other costs (buildings/licensing, etc) are fixed costs that have already been paid for.

So yeah, if you can open with 1/2 staff and have them alternate weeks (or better yet, 2 week periods), that can be done.

BTW, this was how the Sagebrush operated for years.

I had been to Sheri's many times in the past when there were only 10-15 ladies working and they survived just fine. I had a favorite (Joy) working there during those times and mainly just partied with her so as long as she
was there (which I knew in advance) I knew it would be a good trip regardless of how many other ladies were actually present.

Also, not all ladies prefer a fully loaded house--it just means less customers for each lady and with any COVID-19 concerns customers may have just getting to the brothels (i.e. air travel) or reduced funds from working fewer hours, there's likely to be even less customers showing up than normal, so having half the number of ladies working (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, so all can get some work) seems like the smarter thing to do.

First off will Nye county alow Sheri's to reduced what the brothel pays for licensing sense it is based on the number of prostitutes alow on the property.
They pay the max.   I would hope the building and property are paid for so you will still have property tax.  But it should be lower since it is based on the property value not the business.  Being that there is a motel, restaurant, bar, and brothel I don't know how the taxes are calculated.
It takes several people to keep the place open 24/7 Madam, bartender, cooks, security, and increased cleaning staff.  And remember that is 24/7 each person only works 40hr a week out of the 168 hours a week.    So the cost is way more than you think.
And do you even know if you will have any ladies will too but up will all the bull shit to come back for a maybe.
And then you have one lady or staff test positive for COVID-19 under your so-called safe reopening plans what happens. That's a no brainer the brothels will be permanently closed and the anti-brothel groups celebrate a win.  And it does not matter where or win that person got COVID-19.
So it is all about risk vs reward and in 2020 America it not worth the risk of being outlawed.
So the only really way to reopen is when the State Of Nevada lifts all the emergency executive orders dealing with COVID-19.
BTW: It's 2020 Dennis Hof is dead and the world has changed old Hof shenanigans just don't hold water anymore.

That might be so.  But according to other posters Sheri always books a full house.
Well since none of the posters making commits are brothel owners there is no the way any of us know what should be done and that includes me.
But I am sure of 2 things the Governor is the one who must give the ok to open and I am not going to waste my time and money going to Nevada under the current conditions. And that not because of COVID-19 it's because up all the so-called safety measures.
I do wish the ladies and brothels the best and hope they can reopen without restrictions soon.

I'm wondering how they pick which 12 women work. Diversity is what has appealed to me in choosing southern brothels over others.

2 weeks on and 2 weeks off works for some, but others might find it financially difficult

For me appointments are always a choice I made to insure the provider I wanted to spend time with would be available. Hopefully doesn't make the wait period longer than two weeks. I wonder will preference turn to those that live local or within Nevada to get the 12 spots.

I don't think the Governor cares whether or not brothels reopen. He can afford to keep his sugar babies/ mistresses maintained on a yearly budget.

So far, the governor only seems to care about his power.

If the governor actually cared about the citizens of Nevada, he would have acted much differently.

Maybe, just maybe, Sheri's management was instructed by the government open again at 50% capacity, and in time capacity could be 100%.  In the past by a list of scheduled ladies, a full Sheri's house consisted of 24 ladies.  Thus, 50% capacity is 12 ladies.  What may happen with the ladies rooms - half of the rooms used for partying, while with the other half ladies can use these rooms for sleeping, showering, etc.
