A visit to Sheri’s Ranch

[largewalnut]

One negotiation tactic I'm wondering about is to research Vegas escort prices and then multiply what a comparable escort costs by 2.5. My very rough estimate is that after house cut and other expenses the ladies keep about 40% pre tax. From what I understand, there's the house cut and other fixed costs, which are less per party the more parties the lady has during a tour. The number I arrive at would then be one where I simply would not go too far above. Of course, all this rests on certain assumptions, but it seems better than flying blind.

You're right on in your calculations. 2 to 3 times the price at the house. A really good friend told me that.

I'll jump on this thread here because the Southern Houses may be an option for a NV trip early next year...all depends on if Vegas is the destination I choose or go up north to Reno or Elko.

Seems like Sheri's or CR may just be out of budget if you're not dropping something like $1.5k or so for a single party...correct me if I'm wrong (or DM me or something).

You are probably in the ball park.  Although I havent  actially booked in either since  2012..Add $$$ if you use the complementary house transportation. So I can't confirm, but you are probably at least in the nose bleed seats of the stadium metaphorically speaking anyway.😉😃

Just one guy's opinion, and I know I will sound like an asshole for saying this out loud (see my profile picture) - but this sounds like a lot of work for a lot of money and not a lot of real, genuine added value vs simply making the longer trip to Elko and the surrounding area houses, where everything seems to be way easier, way friendlier and way better.  I would not go to a place with a 'failed negotiation room.' I'll leave when I feel like it after a failed negotiation - and unless you are into kidnapping and/or love to have the local authorities called to your door, my path to the door better be clear. 

A yes/no on the initial negotiation is the beginning and end of the conversation I will have on any business transaction - and that's all this is - a potential business transaction. That room is nothing more than a vague attempt at intimidation imho. If I decide against the Happy Meal (do they still sell those?) at McDonalds, nobody makes me wait in a room when I decline, and decide that I want to cross the parking lot and eat at Wendy's instead.  F that noise. Period.

AGAIN, just one guy's (asshole's) opinion.... so let it be written.

Well SMRKIA, you managed to generate a ton of information for all of us, and for that I am grateful. I normally don’t venture to the southern part of our state, and Pahrump has never been on my radar, other than listening to the occasional Art Bell show when I was actually awake that late. Based on everything I’ve read today, Sheri’s is probably not in my near future plans, especially since I prefer to stay in the northern part of the state. For the same travel time, Elko is a better and more affordable option, IMHO.

[SMRKIA]

PacQ for an hour that’s probably about right, you will probably need to fight for it though.

NewDude, I kind of recognize that my opinions on the subject are in the minority. I don’t think anyone has ever talked about it in a positive light. I’m sure upon a failed negotiation I could just say “screw you guys, I’m going next door”. But I felt it best that I should make it in there, as for the most part it’s hard to tell if a girl is premium or not. Granted I just rolled with it (whoever came my way) but that first girl did not strike me as a premium girl, both in terms of looks (don’t get me wrong she was hot) or on her profile that I looked up afterward. It was just a paragraph and several pictures which didn’t look to be from a professional photo session. That’s why I needed the failed negotiation room, so I could say, “this is what I got, this is what I want”, now a preferred solution would be for all the girls to work with reasonable budgets, hence a minimum number of failed negotiations.

mrtoungue, I don’t think Sheri’s should be in anyones future travel plans unless they are in Vegas and can’t get north for awhile. I even said it that I am going to try harder to have a trip to Elko planned within a couple months of my next Vegas trip. The problem is that I have 2 full days in Vegas so I don’t have time for a 14 hour round trip. Plus there’s lots I like to do in Vegas, so one party is fine.

No I completely get it. When we are trying to strike a deal, we make those choices. Kudos to you for getting what you wanted at the end of the day.  I certainly won't be critical of that effort because that's negotiation in a nutshell.  I am just of the opinion that they (those particular houses, not the ladies) make it way harder than it should be. 

In a perfect world imho, once you PHYSICALLY ENTER the house (proves 'commitment' level), every house should have an app, you punch in a price, what activities you wish to pursue (literally 'check those boxes),' and it tells you how many of the courtesans fit that bill - not who, but how many.  Then they are electronically notified (if available), and if they are agreeable, you can ask to speak to any or all of them because you are already at that near deal making point, and you only talking to people who could say yes. If the answer is '0' then you either check different boxes, change your $ - or leave uneventfully.

Call it a 'bidding' process or something? Maybe 'reverse bidding'? I don't know.  There's a free million $ idea for someone out there w/more tech skills than I've got haha

Now I DO KNOW it is impractical and unrealistic bc the same will hold true - nobody is going to lowball any deal and the ladies would and should have no interest in undercutting each other's price. Plus the house will run it, not the girls, so back to square one.  (Note:  that all sounded better in my head than it looks on the page)

Man that sounds like a great idea. As person who hates negotiations in all parts of life. This would be a perfect answer to the problem.

[mrtongue]

I completely understand, since you’re already in Vegas, going to Pahrump is very much within reason. Frankly I only go to the Elko houses when I know I’m staying at least one night there. Mustang and the Lyon County houses are much closer, but actually more difficult to work into my schedule. As I previously stated, I am thankful that your post generated such a great response. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Or they could just do what the Shady Lady did. They had a sign at the entrance that said:
40 minutes - $200
1 hour -$300
2 hours $500

If it was a difficult negotiation you wanted you wouldn’t find it there.

If only we could see those prices again. Damn supply chain issues!!!

Just curious, but when did Shady Lady close?  Because if a lady consistently got clients for an hour a day (which isn't likely), that's $300 minus 50% for the house, minus doctor's visit, minus paraphernalia for her job which comes out to ~$15/hour for an 8 hour workday.  In today's prices, nobody would take that job unless it's stocking shelves.

Wanting to say 2014. But for some reason I was under the impression that the girl got more than 50% at that house. I also believe that they didn’t charge for rent. One nice thing for the girls at Shady Lady was that their living quarters were separate from the rooms that they entertained clients in.

Shady Lady was actually kind of a barebones house, no bar, no food, and the number of employees that were not working girls was very minimal. I believe the owners lived there, so that eliminates a living expense on them.

But yeah I have no doubt that rate would be higher today. Regardless if it were still open I’m sure they would offer a fair rate, one that would have every monger visiting Vegas driving all the way out there for a visit.

You are correct. Sue’s has a similar model with a sign posting flat rates, and it has increased to reflect modern times.
