Personally, I'd like to visit one sometime in my life, but they seem to be going the way of the dodo...

Went to Sheri's Ranch in Nevada a several years ago.  

Way overpriced. Most girls started out asking for 1.5k - 2k per hour. Awkward negotiating the donation while management listens in to ensure the girls aren't making side deals. Felt like a Dr. Appt as they inspect your cock for VD. Out in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere. Covered BJ. I saw two girls one day and they wouldn't even comp me a 75$ room. I could go on and on.  

If I go back to Vegas I wouldn't even think about heading up there again.  Way better selection of ladies at an affordable cost in Vegas as long as you have refs

I think they're doing ok and the Bunny Ranch seems to be doing well after the TV shows.  Mustang Ranch closed and I think its back open.  My first experience in the US was near Carson City.  Price was reasonable and had a great provider.  The ones near Vegas are way overpriced and not worth it IMHO.  I guess after driving all the way out there, you're not going to leave without getting some, and have some winnings in your pocket.

If anything, the part-timers (casino girls) in Vegas would be putting in more of a dent, similar or lower prices and easily accessible without the drive

I about had a heart attack when the girl told me $1800.  I told her I think I may have made a mistake in my selection, and started to stand.

We negotiated down to a price that was more in line with what one can find in Vegas, though still higher than average.  But the experience was far from GFE or anything good.

I haven't been back.

Somewhere online they suggest stating a price verbally, while putting up a number of fingers.  So say $400, but put up 5 fingers.  The girl knows the $100 is all hers, and she won't have to split it or pay taxes on it since the house didn't hear it.  That $100 is like $200+.

But again, I haven't been back.  Too many better options without the 50 minute drive

where there is enough competition to keep the rates low. Don't expect GFE, they are usually just 3G: get in get off, get out. Its been a while, but the FKK Sauna clubs in Germany are quite an experience.
From what I've read, the ones in the US suck, and not in a good way.

Website Looks soooo fake, lol. If I ain't seen the Cathouse documentaries on HBO back in 2002 and consequently knowing it was legal I'd think it was a sting website, haha.  Brings back The good ole days of watching the beautiful girls on Wild on (brooke burke, cindy taylor and juels asner.....before Artt Mann had his own show), the smut on HBO, AND SKIN-A-MAX (cinemax) late night

The ones in Puerto Rico were epic (not sure if they were legal though?)- best lineup, ever...but in Europe, the term "window shopping" takes an ironically literal turn lol

The established and well reviewed independents in vegas are much better
You can have a great time for $200 to $500
The brothels are much higher for rushed service cbj and major upsell
The ride out there is no picnic
It is 80 miles through the desert
We almost hit a donkey on the road
If you take a cab plan on another $300
And a broken back from 3-4 hours roundtrip in a vegas cab

If you have an independent you wait in your room
It is not the internet who is killing them
This was from years ago.
I walked out of the bunny ranch after the parade
Which was not easy.

I went to a smaller place down the road had a good time with an milf
She was captive there

Saw her months later when visiting LA as an independent
Would never go back to the brothel.
