This is encouraging, assuming it’s true, even if I never get to Ely it’s a positive sign to see a brothel open or reopen.Did a domain lookup, site was registered this past June so it’s a recent development.
That said, I feel like business endeavors fall through more often than not. Anyone who visited Shady Lady or Angels probably noticed a sign in Beatty that said “El Sueno” Hotel and Casino. Signs been there for decades, the developer has grandiose plans for it but was never able to get it off the ground. Looking at the proposals of that place I think it was a pipe dream to be honest but if he had gotten his way I’m sure it would have been built, so the people behind this might have legitimate intentions, but there’s a lot that can throw a wrench in plans like this.
I wonder if they are trying to remodel the same building, from what I can tell it’s been abandoned for 25 years and in terrible shape. Website has a picture of the old building so I guess it’s possible. But it looks like Cottontail did before it burned down, basically anyone buying it would most likely be doing so for the land.
Also if someone wanted to start a new place I have to wonder if Ely is the right location. It’s a small out of the way town that already has 2 brothels (the same number as the much larger and more centrally located Pahrump) so I feel like if you are going to (essentially) be building from the ground up and applying for a new brothel license there are probably better locations to do that.
