AT a picturesque ranch near the Vegas strip, madam Dena Duff offers a discreet service.
Celebrity hotspot Sheri’s Ranch has strict protocols – particularly with some of the pricier experiences costing eye-watering six-figure sums.

Dena Duff, 54, has been the madam of the venue in Pahrump, Nevada, for 19 years.
She says the brothel, which is licensed, has been turning the heads of the famous who flock from Sin City.
And staff have measures in place to ensure sex-obsessed A-listers don’t get caught.
Duff told The Sun: “We’ve absolutely had celebrities and well-known people come through these doors.
“But whenever anybody asks me who they are, my lips are sealed.
“Usually, if they’re of a higher profile when they arrive, it’s set up prior and we have arrangements where they go right with the lady that they’re coming here to see.
“Or we have private areas where we could do a meet and greet.
“There is a bar and restaurant at Sheri’s and many clients do hang out in the bar, have a drink and have some lunch.
“We also get people who come in just to have lunch and aren’t actually looking to see any of us.
“It’s not strictly necessary that if someone comes, they have an appointment.
“We follow an appointment protocol without having to put celebrities out in the bar for everyone to see, if that’s something they’d prefer.
“That happens even sometimes just for people who are very shy and nervous, even if they aren’t necessarily famous, but then of course we are prepared as well when these higher profile clients come in.”
Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, but is legal at Sheri’s Ranch, which lies around 60 miles from the strip, thanks to a loophole.
Some of the pricier experiences cost six-figure sums – particularly for stays at their hotel, staff confirmed.
Each worker determines their own rates – and the resort has 100 licensed sex workers who rotate, with 25 available at any one time
It now also offers customers the chance to film their experiences with women who work there, keeping a copy with permission.
Married porn star Electra Rayne, 28, has been working as a sex worker at the venue for two years.
She offers packages including a “double porn star experience” with fellow adult actress Summer Hart.
Rayne says she also hosts “toy parties” and knows a colleague who offers a “double redhead experience”.

She told The Sun: “The idea of exchanging sex for money was always something that really interested me.
“I really like being able to bring joy to lots of people.
“It’s not necessarily sexually gratifying, but it is gratifying to be able to figure out what someone wants, what is enjoyable for them, and then to be able to give it to them.
“When I moved to Las Vegas, I had heard that there were legal ranches.
“I didn’t know very much about them but I’ve always been a big rule follower to the point where my family actually makes fun of me.
“So this is not something that I was going to just start doing myself.
“But once I moved here, I had a friend who started working at Sheri’s, and she actually had a really good time there.
“And so I was like, okay I’m going to give it a try.
“I also do porn, and I was only planning to do it once as an opportunity for my fans to come meet me, but I ended up enjoying being there so much and enjoying the staff so much that now I’m there every month.”
‘DOUBLE PORN STAR EXPERIENCE’
Rayne also cleared up the “common misconception” that prostitution is legal in Las Vegas.
“In order for a county in Nevada to have legal brothels, it has to be in a county below a certain population threshold, and then also it has to be done at a licensed brothel,” she said.
“So I couldn’t just meet a client in my county and go to see them at their hotel or something, that would still be illegal.
“They have to come to you, not the other way around.”
She continued: “One thing that’s actually a great example of what’s happening right now: a really good friend of mine, her name is Summer Hart, she is also a porn star.
“She is a more famous porn star than I am, but we’ve been really good friends for years. From me being like, ‘oh my God, I love working there, it’s so great’, she finally was like, okay I want to try it.
“So she is coming for her first time in just a couple of weeks, and we’ll be there at the same time. We have been actively marketing a double porn star experience.
“Sometimes other ladies will get together too when they have common interests or there’s something about them, like I have a friend who is a redhead and is planning to put together some packages with another redhead for a double redhead experience.
“There’s a lady that I love booking toy parties with.”

Duff began working at the venue in 2006 following a chance tour she took there when she visited with her mother-in-law for lunch.
She was pulled to one side and was offered a job she has held ever since.
Rayne says she has seen endless eye-opening requests from customers since she started working there.
And she says her wife is “fully supportive” of what she does for a living.
Rayne added: “Some things that I do are pretty interesting, things that people don’t necessarily think about.
I never in a million years thought I’d be a porn star. It was just like a bucket list thing
“I have a client who comes to see me who likes to try on my skirts, but what’s interesting about him is all of the rest of the sex is very vanilla and normal.
“I love when guys bring me their wives and they really just want to watch while I play with their wives. Those are some of my favourite appointments.”
She added: “I never in a million years thought I’d be a porn star. It was just like a bucket list thing.
“I started stripping to pay for college. I absolutely loved stripping. I finished my degree, and I started going to work with my degree but I was still dancing on the side.
“And then in 2019, I had 3 surgeries, and I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and so I racked up $10,000 in medical debt, and I was back in the strip club for one week in March of 2020 when all of the strip clubs closed.
“So I hopped on the OnlyFans train at that time like everyone else did.
“Then in March of 2021, I quit my day job to do adult work full time. In October 2021, I moved from Chicago to Las Vegas for my job.”
She added: “My wife is super supportive. In fact, on my first trip to Sheri’s, she drove me and she helped me bring in my suitcases.”
With its unique luxury packages and 100 licensed sex workers on rotation, the popularity of Sheri’s Ranch shows few signs of slowing.
