Stacey Dooley has revealed she took her baby daughter to a brothel in Nevada, while she was filming a documentary about prostitution in the United States.

In the latest series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA, the presenter, 38, visited the oldest legal brothel in Nevada, the Mustang Ranch, to explore the lives of sex workers in the States.

But she has now revealed that her daughter, Minnie, came along for the visit, when she was just eight-months-old, joking ‘it sounds like a comedy sketch’.

Stacey recalled the story at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, during a panel with journalist Emma Barnett, where she discussed how she juggled balancing motherhood and work.

The broadcaster explained that she brings her little girl, who she shares with boyfriend Kevin Clifton, along with her for filming – including to the more unusual locations.

According to The Telegraph, she admitted: ‘There’s nowhere that child hasn’t been. When she was eight months we had this gig in the diary to go to the States to make a documentary about this legal brothel in Nevada. 

‘I’d sort of signed the contract and was like: oh, she’ll be eight months, that’ll be fine. Anyway, the trip comes, and I’m nowhere near comfortable leaving her so I take my eight-month-old child to this brothel in Nevada.

‘I have to ask the sheriff for special permission, because she’s under 18. It sounds like a comedy sketch, but it’s legit!’

Stacey explained that she had to rent a trailer for Minnie to stay in with dad Kevin and that the little girl would watch out the window while she was filming.

She hilariously recalled that when she returned to the trailer to breastfeed, the prostitutes at the brothel would greet her daughter with: ‘Morning Miss Minnie!’

The presenter quipped: ‘I’m like: she’ll be open minded if nothing else!’ 

In March, Stacey released a book called Dear Minnie, in which she wrote a heartfelt letter to her now two-year-old.

In the letter, she detailed the moment she realised she was expecting back in 2022, after taking a pregnancy test in the Selfridges toilet. 

But she has now revealed that her daughter, Minnie, came along for the visit, when she was just eight-months-old, joking ‘it sounds like a comedy sketch’ (seen with Minnie and Kevin)

Last month, Stacey admitted that her and Kevin’s sex life has taken a backseat since their daughter started sleeping in their bed. 

But she insisted she wasn’t bothered by the arrangement and poked fun about her lack of alone time with Kevin by quipping: ”We need to start remembering how to have sex.’

Kevin is currently touring the country as Billy Flynn in Chicago The Musical, with the tour running until August. 

But Stacey has no plans to change her bedtime routine before his return, as she loves having Minnie by her side overnight.

She explained: ‘Minnie is in our bed. I am sort of not really a***d. I know there’s such emphasis on getting kids in their own bed, but I think it’s because Kev is away so much anyway. 

‘What am I doing otherwise? Maybe when Kev is back on the scene, we will start remembering how you have sex. 

‘Then maybe I would think, “Minnie, you’re going to have to go and hang out in your own bedroom now”.’

For now, Stacey is cherishing every moment with her little girl and even doesn’t mind going to bed at 8pm to avoid disrupting Minnie’s routine. 

She shared on the Parenting Hell podcast with comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe: ‘Of an evening we’ll have something to eat, then I’ll put her in the bath. 

‘We have a bit of a chat, put her PJ’s on and we just end up getting in my bed together. 

‘We watch one episode of Paddington then go to sleep. I am going to bed early, at 8pm. I love it, honestly!’ 

Minnie started getting used to sleeping with one of her grandmothers last year when they babysat while Stacey made her stage debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story in the West End.

Stacey added: ‘Now she is so used to being taken to bed – in a double bed – and having someone to sleep with. It was my mum or Kev’s mum and they were going to bed at 8 o’clock, too.’ 

Nevada’s congressional delegation, environmental groups, tribes and local officials see the late-night amendment to House Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill as a threat to the state’s water resources, tribal sovereignty and public engagement.

By Wyatt Myskow for Inside Climate News

For years, Nevada’s congressional delegation and leading Las Vegas officials have been pushing Congress to pass the Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, which would allow tens of thousands of acres of public lands currently managed by the federal government to be sold at auction to cities and developers looking for space to expand.

So Republicans on the House Natural Resources Committee might have expected some applause when the committee passed a late-night amendment to the budget reconciliation bill that would do just that.

But the amendment, intended to help the federal government afford the Trump administration’s tax cuts, had none of the existing bill’s stipulations to benefit Nevadans and conserve other areas. Instead of accolades, it has drawn the ire of nearly every group backing the Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act. They have called the amendment a “land giveaway” to developers.

Reps. Mark Amodei (R-NV) and Celeste Maloy (R-UT) added amendments to the budget reconciliation bill just before midnight last Tuesday that would sell more than half a million acres of public land in Nevada and Utah for housing development in the two states. Opponents say the amendments would fuel unsustainable growth across Nevada and southern Utah that would not provide affordable housing, but would threaten tribal sovereignty by disposing of public lands bordering the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, take more water out of the already declining Colorado River and set a path for the federal government to begin the sell-off of public lands across the country.

The amendment for Nevada would pave the way for the development of thousands of acres up to the boundaries of national monuments Avi Kwa Ame and Gold Butte, in addition to the Pyramid Lake Reservation.

“Our two states are the test case,” said Mathilda Miller, the government relations director for Native Voters Alliance Nevada. “If this land grab goes through quietly, they’ll use the same exact playbook somewhere else. The amendment was dropped at midnight. It was dropped in a massive budget bill. And it was rushed through without meaningful public input. If they can do that near Avi Kwa Ame, Gold Butte and the boundaries of Pyramid Lake, then they can and they will do it to somebody else’s homelands.”

Amodei and Maloy, the amendment sponsors, did not respond to requests for comment.

Amodei told the Nevada Independent that he felt adding the amendment to the budget reconciliation bill was the only way to achieve the goals of the various Nevada lands bills, and that the House committee was excited about making money off sales of public lands.

“Not all federal lands have the same value,” Maloy said during the committee meeting before the bill advanced. “Some should not be available for disposal. We all agree on that. However, in both Democratic and Republican administrations, for decades, we’ve been disposing of appropriate lands in a manner that’s consistent with what I propose to do here.”

It’s the latest in attempts by some Republicans to transfer control of public lands managed by the federal government to states, a highly divisive political stance in the West, where most of those lands are located. Attempts to privatize public lands or give them to states date back decades, with the movements gaining momentum in the 1970s and 80s during the so-called “sagebrush rebellion.” The Trump administration and some Republicans in Congress have touted public-lands sales as a solution to the country’s housing shortage, but experts have disputed that claim. Even some Republican members of Congress have pushed back on recent attempts to sell off federal lands.

“We are not dealing with the same type of sagebrush rebel that we were dealing with in the 1970s,” said Kyle Roerink, the executive director of the Great Basin Water Network, a grassroots group that works in Nevada and Utah on freshwater issues and has opposed previous land bills. “The sagebrush rebels of today don’t drive cattle. They drive Porsches and Mercedes.”

“This continuous growth that we see year after year, day after day, decade after decade, does nothing to help preserve our souls, preserve our feelings and preserve the culture,” said Steven Wadsworth, chairman of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, during a press conference.

The proposed sell-off in Utah has drawn less scrutiny than the disposal of public lands in Nevada has, though environmental groups also oppose sales there. The bill would allow public lands to be sold for development in southern Utah, primarily for the fast-growing city of St. George.

But that land follows the pathway of the planned Lake Powell pipeline, a decades-long and highly controversial attempt by Utah to pipe water from the dwindling Colorado River’s second-largest reservoir, which is roughly 33 percent full, to fuel growth in the state. Attempts to build the pipeline in the past have drawn intense scrutiny from both environmentalists and other states that depend on Colorado River water.

“It’s just another signifier that nobody actually wants to respect the signs that Mother Nature is sending to us, and that’s that our snowfalls are changing, our precipitation patterns are changing, our runoffs are changing,” Roerink said. “But we have people who want to continue doing business like it’s 1999 and everything’s peachy, and the reservoirs are full.”

The bill will be considered by the full House of Representatives in the coming weeks.

Public lands are managed by the federal government for the benefit of all Americans, allowing for the creation of national parks and wilderness areas, and for extraction of resources by logging, mining and energy companies. But in some cases, they can be disposed of—meaning sold—typically to developers for housing or extraction projects.

Growth in Las Vegas, for example, has long relied on bills that dispose of public lands to expand, as the federal government owns roughly 85 percent of the land within the state’s borders, far more than in any other state. But those bills had conservation requirements, and the funds generated by the land sales were earmarked for conservation and local schools. The latest Clark County lands bill—the Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act—would also give land back to the Moapa Band of Paiutes and provide further protection for other public lands in Nevada.
