Nevada Brothels Stay Open With Promises to Increase Hand-Washing

  • Trade group is encouraging ‘virtual happy hours’ with clients
  • Overseas customers may get turned away due to virus concern

The coronavirus may have stopped most of American life, but one pastime promises to persist. Nevada’s legal brothels say they are there for it.

The largest houses say they are still open, though they are taking precautions. For example, Chicken Ranch, in Pahrump said it will require brothel workers and staff to “wash their hands regularly and use hand sanitizers as needed,” according to a letter from its general manager. It’s also having staff take their temperatures daily.
