The Las Vegas Courtesan

  I first stopped Inez’s D&D in Elko, mostly since I thought it had been closed and hard to find out any information on it’s state of operating (they have since launched a website). They specialize in only having Asian girls and boast this as a selling point to clients. I walked in and a man tending the bar/house gave me the most unsettling feeling of being unwelcome and I really wanted to turn around and walk out. This is where I found out about the odd rules about females being allowed into the bar area and since there was no parlor, I had to go to the back. I said, “Okay that’s fine,” but then was given resistance when I asked to speak to a girl and be taken into the back to abide by their rules. What the heck is going on here? I am at a brothel, right?

After asking to speak to a girl at least three times, finally a girl (I think three girls were there) walked out and basically asked what did I want? Wait, I thought I couldn’t talk in the bar area?  I said I’d be happy to get a tour of the place and talk more, and then I found out there really is no negotiating. All of the prices are set by time and there’s no negotiating to be done in the back. I still got more run around, and never really found out any pricing for the time with the girls. By this point I wanted to just go, and I did exactly that.

I couldn’t tell you if they had any VIP rooms or areas since no one would take me into the back. I only was able to see the small bar area with some mini stages that the girls danced on during the night like a mini strip club.

  I went to Sue’s Fantasy Club thinking it would be open and in operation, but I still can’t figure out 100% what is their status. When I went by the house, it was early in the afternoon and there was no answer. I thought perhaps it was too early since the holidays were fast approaching or maybe they weren’t open because they didn’t have any girls available to work. Now their website is down and I found a recent article about a man trying to purchase the brothel, but was being denied by the city since he was unable to prove where his money to purchase the brothel was coming from. Does that really matter anyway? Obviously the man isn’t some drug runner, but looks like an older man that thought his cash was better kept in a safe than at the banks.

You can read more about the event of his license denial here. Of course if I find any new information or if anyone knows of any new information about its state then leave a comment.

 Mona’s Ranch is the first brothel on your left when you drive down the street towards the brothels. Next door to Sue’s, Mona’s is a larger house that has a full bar, massage rooms, and other VIP rooms available. Even though I couldn’t sit in the bar area, I liked the old wooden bar style and thought it was more appealing than some of the small funky bars I had seen in other brothels across the state. The parlor area is a small area right off of the bar with comfortable couches. Since there was only one girl that afternoon I didn’t get a line-up (holiday season again made the selection of girls low in Elko).

While I was waiting in the parlor area I got to listen on a conversation between the madam and a girl wanting to be hired at the brothel. She was explaining which tests she had to get done, where to go, and how much each part would cost. Each test sure adds up to quite a bit before you can even start working. She had to get these tests and be cleared before she could obtain her state health card and work card. I’m not sure of the exact amount of money that would be needed before a girl can work but I am sure it adds up to a few hundred dollars before day one.

Though I didn’t spend too much time at Mona’s and my timing really wasn’t great since it was an afternoon visit, it would be the one place I would stop into if I was in Elko again at the brothels. Since they had the nicest staff and girl in the city by far I think it deserves another visit in the future.
