Ever wonder what it’s like on the inside of an high-end legal brothel?
YouTube star Tyler Oliveira has taken people inside the famed, and infamous, Chicken Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada.
Tyler spent the afternoon interviewing the women and other staffers at the brothel, and even bought one-on-one time with a ‘courtesan’ known as Air Force Amy.
The brothel, founded in 1976, is totally legal. Along with this, the sex workers, who rotate in and out of the venue every few weeks to months, are routinely tested for STDs, and there’s comprehensive security measures in place for everyone’s protection.
YouTube star Tyler Oliveira dropped by the famed Chicken Ranch brothel in Pahrump, Nevada, where he got a tour and even spent one-on-one time with one of the courtesans
To kick things off, a courtesan named Sammie Sweets – who shared she specializes in neuro- and tantric massages – gave Tyler a tour of the Chicken Ranch grounds, where she’s been working for the past two and a half years.
To be clear, she added that the ladies preferred the term ‘courtesan’ over ‘prostitute,’ which she felt implies working the streets under much skeevier conditions.
Each of the women working at the brothel are legally required to undergo an STD panel weekly; and condoms are required for both male and female clients.
If someone does test ‘dirty,’ they can undergo treatment, and are welcomed back to work once they test clean.
The Chicken Ranch also has an on-site private chef to provide meals for the women.
Elsewhere, Sammie revealed the ‘party shower,’ intended for up to eight clients and courtesans for group sex. And in an adjacent room, she pointed out a stripper pole plus a jacuzzi for a ‘naked hot tub immersion’ experience.
Sammie also added they’d hosted both bachelor and bachelorette parties in the ‘party shower’ on various occasions.
Elsewhere on the premises, there’s an outdoor pool; while the ladies ‘don’t do sex in water,’ Sammie said, they can swim naked or ‘enjoy your client, or a cocktail with your client’ poolside.
One of 19 legal brothels nationally, the Chicken Ranch was founded in 1976

Nearby, there’s a wheelchair accessible entrance and space.
‘We do get a lot of clients that are paraplegics, we get a lot of clients that are wheelchair-bound, we get a lot of vets that are amputees,’ Sammie explained, adding that she had indeed met with a paraplegic.
‘They turn into regulars. They come to see you like once a year. I mean, I feel like if you can touch somebody in that way, and they can come and see you every year, it’s because they trust you,’ Sammie said.
‘It’s really hard for somebody that’s like an amputee, or say, a paraplegic, to go to like a bar. And try to pick up on somebody. Like, people are mean!’
But clientele don’t always just want to get busy with the courtesans.
She went on to share that she had recently seen an autistic client, who was ‘super, super nice.’
‘He was awkward, he couldn’t really do bar things, he couldn’t be in large crowds, which I get,’ she said.
‘He actually paid me to watch Michael Myers with him… We weren’t like intimate. He just wanted to hang out and talk and watch Michael Myers.’

As for one of her ‘craziest’ encounters: ‘I had a client pay me to work out for an hour. He wanted me to be super, super, super sweaty, workout. And then he wanted to party for two hours, with me,’ she said, adding that ‘party’ is a general term for a session.
Over the two hours following Sammie’s workout, the man ‘didn’t want to do anything sexual – but he did want to lick my whole body. Mind you, he wanted me to workout for an hour before. So his thing was like, the smell… feet, armpits, and the back of the knee.’
Then there was a BDSM, Fifty Shades of Grey-style dungeon, with the girls able to roleplay as both dominatrixes and submissives.
A separate, private RV was also on site for clients who desired more ‘intimate’ experiences.
‘Let’s just say you wanted to have something away from the house, and you didn’t want everybody to hear you. You just want something to yourself, where it feels more like a honeymoon,’ she said of the purpose of the RV.
Showing off her designated room, Sammie revealed two floral bouquets from regular clients of hers that she saw ‘a few times a year.’
‘I’ve impacted their lives. These are clients who have suffered through depression and mental illness, and they come to me to kind of get that stress relief, because they say they feel comfortable and vulnerable, and they’re able to like, be themselves,’ she said.
‘So even if nothing sexual happens, just being in my presence helps them.’

Next, Tyler spoke to the Chicken Ranch’s COO, Will.
Will explained that there are 19 legal brothels currently operating, all of them ‘heavily regulated.’
He explained that obtaining a brothel license was similar to obtaining a gaming license, and it was ‘really tough to do.’
‘You have to show your whole history, you have to show people you know, where you’ve lived, income, everything, and they know everything about you. And they can make some of that information public information,’ Will explained, adding that the process took six months.
Will also screens applications for women wanting to work out of the Chicken Ranch, looking for those who would be a ‘good fit.’
He went on to state that he believed that safe sex work had a ‘net benefit’ to society.’
‘It’s not just about the sex, believe it or not… It’s about the emotional support, it’s about the human connection. And if a guy gets a party for let’s just say, an hour, it might be five minutes of sex, and it might be 55 minutes of chatting. And, they’re kind of therapists,’ Will said.
Will also stated that they saw a lot of older virgins come it, with the oldest he’d known of being 48 years old.
‘Not only are you going to lose your virginity when you leave here, but you’re going to have more confidence with other girls, more confidence at work, and the guys always leave with a big smile of their face.’
He also recalled how a quadriplegic, brought in by his mom, also made monthly visits for a while.
Tyler then announced it was time to ‘put myself in the shoes of a customer.’
He then sat on a sofa while the available courtesans lined up for him, including Sammie and four other women.
Rates for any of the women aren’t explicitly listed on the Chicken Ranch’s website, but discussions about the brothel on Reddit suggest the ballpark hourly range is at least in the mid-four figures, with each courtesan further offering a ‘menu’ of extra services.
Tyler ultimately decided on Air Force Amy, a blonde bombshell type who claimed to have at one point actually served in the Air Force.
Her bio, as listed on the Chicken Ranch website, reads: ‘I love to snuggle and hug and giggle and I love to get expressive, passionate, and uninhibited too.
‘I’m here to show you how fantastic and worthy you are and to let you experience just how fantastic and enjoyable sex, sensuality, and eroticism is too.’
Tyler and Amy then retreated to her bedroom, where he asked her more about herself – including what her specialties were.
Among them: ‘upside-down, backwards blowjob,’ in which she lies down on her back on a bed, head over the edge, receiving a man’s member in this position.
‘No gag reflex,’ she cheekily added.
She admitted she’s probably slept with ‘tens of thousands’ of men over the course of her career.
Working out of the Chicken Ranch, she reflected, is ‘almost like a vacation to be here. Because you get to, if you think of it, I walk to work, I can sleep on the job, I can have sex on the job, I can drink on the job.’
She further described herself as ‘oversexed and boy crazy.’
‘I love sex, everyday,’ she said, further speculating she probably had ‘at least’ four orgasms daily.
Tyler asked how she’d approach a man with a ‘tiny pecker.’
She emphatically nodded that she’d teach him how to use it, going on to insist, ‘It’s not about the size, you know? That is the case. You know? It’s just that, people get judged.
‘And I’m here to show you, I’m not going to judge you, I’m going to find something in you that I really, really like, which is going to be a lot of things. And you’re going to feel like a million bucks!
‘Sometimes I’m just like a stepping stone for someone that just doesn’t have really good social skills. And I give you that confidence, and it’s just a springboard for you to pew, go out there and start dating.’
She further admitted that she would play into the ‘dumb blonde’ archetype, swearing the strategy made it ‘easier to do business.’
‘Because it’s a man’s world,’ she whispered. ‘You can’t be too smart.’
Afterward, Tyler sat with Amy and Sammie as well as two other courtesans named Mya and Tallie for a group interview.
Tyler asked the courtesans to name ‘one thing’ people ‘don’t understand’ about working at the Chicken Ranch.
Tyler ultimately concluded his exposé of the Chicken Ranch by interviewing four of the courtesans in a group interview
‘They think we’re working at the same level as other girls who might be accepting low, unhygienic parties, might be working with clients out of desperation,’ Mya said.
‘We’re in a really good position here. People don’t realize how high-class a lot of our customers, most of our customers, are. The people that walk in this door and have that view of us, they tend to not party with anybody because we’re out of their budget, we’re out of their expectations.
‘I have people coming in here saying, “You know, I’ve hired girls off the street, and never had anything even close to this.” So, we’re playing in a different league here.’
Amy added, ‘Illegal prostitution and legal prostitution, is just apples and oranges. You can’t compare the two. But we do often get thrown in the same bag as a street prostitute.’
Tyler then asked whether they’ve had ‘a particular moment or client’ that has made them feel like ‘the work I do is cool and I make people happy.’
‘Definitely,’ Sammie said. ‘You have people who tell you about how they suffer from anxiety and depression for years. And they come to you, and you’ve eased that, or you’ve made them feel human again.’
She further added that she had a client who passed away from suicide and actually thanked Sammie in his note for the positive impact she’d had on his life.
Mya added that she had found it really gratifying to help people who had remained virgins into their 40s or 50s.
‘It’s not because of how they look or anything. It has to do with how they view themselves, and how they go about the world and their confidence levels,’ she said.
‘Being able to have somebody break down their barrier for the first time in their life around you, it’s very vulnerable, it’s really rewarding. I’ve had people come out the other side of losing their virginities looking like a completely different person, talking about themselves differently with confidence.
‘Getting to do that for somebody is priceless.
Chimed in Sammie: ‘If more people opened their eyes and really seeing it what it was, they’d see we are normal people.’
