Their claim of closest to Las Vegas is on their homepage: The 3 brothels claiming the “Closest to Las Vegas” crown are The Chicken Ranch, Sheri’s Ranch, and The Love Ranch Vegas ( update: Love Ranch Brothel is now closed). Many other websites who haven’t done their own investigating are wrong as we’ve checked every possible way to get there. So the claim to being closest to Sin City is a big one for bragging rights. However, there are places that are very close where prostitution is legal. Why? Because Las Vegas is in Clark County, and in Clark county prostitution is illegal. How can that be? Who really holds the crown? This claim is a huge feather in the cap of the winner. There are 3 brothels in Nevada all claiming to be “Closest Brothel to Las Vegas”.
