Shady Lady Ranch, Former brothel venue in Farmer Station, Nevada, US

Shady Lady Ranch is a former establishment along U.S. Highway 95, located roughly 31 miles north of Beatty in Nye County. The site was converted into a bed and breakfast facility in 2014, marking its continuation as a roadside destination.

The ranch operated as a legal brothel until 2014, when it became a guest-ranch-oriented bed and breakfast. In 2006 owner Bobbi Davis, two newspapers and the ACLU challenged a 1979 Nevada law barring brothel advertising in counties where prostitution was illegal; a federal judge struck it down in 2007, but a Ninth Circuit panel reversed that in March 2010 and the Supreme Court declined the appeal.

The place became known for employing male workers at one point, which led to changes in state regulations. This staffing choice drew statewide attention and showed how a local business could shape legal standards.

The site sits on U.S. Highway 95 in Farmer Station, Nye County, about 31 miles (50 km) north of Beatty. The address is reached by car; there is no public transport along this stretch. Services are limited, so fill up and carry water before leaving Beatty.

In 2009 owner Bobbi Davis announced plans to hire a male prostitute, a first for Nevada. The Nevada Brothel Owners Association opposed the move, while the ACLU supported it. The man, called "Markus", began work in January 2010 and quit several weeks later after fewer than ten customers.
