Heidi Fleiss didn't even get an application in to the Nye County Commission for her stud farm. But that has not deterred the Shady Lady brothel, also in Nye County, from beginning the interview process for male prostitutes to service female customers. One problem: The rules for county brothels still require all prostitutes to have a regular cervical exam. The Shady Lady has yet to resolve that issue for their proposed male hookers.

Also, Shady Lady is offering the Las Vegas Sun price quotes: "The minimum would be two hours, probably at a cost of $500, she said. Three hours would cost $700 and four hours, $1,000. An overnight stay would be $2,000." This is interesting because traditional brothel prostitutes in Nye Country are all independent contractors who set their own rates that are only required to exceed a house minimum.

My guess is that the idea of male prostitutes for female-only clients is once again going nowhere. But Shady Lady has been willing to take issues to court in the past such as the ban on brothels being allowed to advertise. The issue of if Nye Country is willing to license male prostitutes to service female clients will get a far more credible test than Fleiss offered from Shady Lady. This particular brothel sits more than 100 miles north of Las Vegas. But if the Shady Lady gets the law changed for Nye County, that would apply to the brothels that sit closer to Vegas just over the Clark County line.
