Angel's Ladies
Angel's Ladies was a 5,000-square-foot legal brothel situated on a 70-acre ranch which was located three miles north of Beatty, Nevada.[1] It was known as Fran's Star Ranch until it was renamed Angel's Ladies in 1997 after being purchased by Mack and Angel Moore.[2] It has been closed since August 2014.[3]
History
Prior to the 1970s, the brothel had been known variously as Circle C Ranch and Vickie's Star Ranch.[4] On May 28, 1977, an accident during a promotional stunt on the property resulted in the crash of a twin-engined light aircraft.[5] The wreck has been located next to the brothel's billboard ever since, and used as a spectacle to attract customers from the road.[6] Mack Moore attempted to sell Angel’s Ladies in 2007, but ended up taking it over again two years later as a result of foreclosure. He subsequently sold the business again in 2010, this time for $1.8 million, and continued to run it as a leaseholder.[7] On 10 August 2014 he retired and closed the business.
In the media
A documentary film called Angel's Ladies was released in 2000 featuring the brothel, its owners and its staff.[8] The brothel also appears in the 2011 photography book Nevada Rose by Marc McAndrews as part of a project about the brothels of rural Nevada.
During the last days that the brothel was open the band Disappointment #1 performed there and recorded interviews. They released an album Live at Brothel Angel's Ladies in October 2015.[9]
