Can't come out to
the Indian reservations
without blowing some
shit up real fast.
One left!
Desert of Nevada is for
people who find the rules
and regulations of Las
Vegas too restrictive.
The state of Nevada is
huge, but most people
never see anything other
than Reno or Vegas.
Out here, anything goes.
The reservations
have their own laws.
The brothels are
secluded, and those in
the mining community
live by their own kind.
Try it for a while.
You might like it.
The wild, wild west
still exists out here.
Right now we're driving
30, 40 minutes outside of
Vegas to the Valley of
Fire, Moapa, and meet up
with the Paiute Tribe for
the Paiute pow wow.
We're gonna make
Indian tacos,
which I'm pretty
happy about.
But this is like a little
Indian reservation that I
used to come out to when
I was a kid that my dad
would take us out here a
couple times a month for
cigarettes and
booze because of
how cheap it is.
But they sell so
many fucking fireworks,
it's ridiculous.
And we used to
come out here and
just blow shit up.
I'm actually shocked
that I still have all my
fingers from all this,
but it is what it is.
What I know about Indians
is just what I've seen
in movies and
this and that.
And so I'm really
excited to learn about
their culture and
their food.
Hi!
How's it going?
Hi!
I'm Braydon.
I'm Kerri.
Nice to meet you.
This is insane.
What's going on out here
in the Valley of Fire?
This is the Southern
Paiute Veteran's Pow Wow.
I believe this is
the 21st annual pow wow,
a celebration where we
have vendors who share
their art.
And then we have
our food vendors.
Do you think that maybe
you could show me around
and show me what's
going on around here?
Yeah.
What've we got here?
Pickles and Kool-Aid?
Do you just dump it
onto the-
Yeah.
Pickle?
What kinda
Kool-Aid do you like?
Cherry.
Can we get two
pickles and
then two cherry
Kool-Aids?
Thank you.
Oh man,
this is fantastic!
It's just candy.
Mm-hm.
Look at that,
a bloody pickle.
Yeah, that's real sour.
Cuz you put a lot on!
That's really good,
though.
I've heard a lot
about Indian tacos.
I don't get how they're
different than
any other tacos.
I don't know, I've never
even heard of them.
That's why I'm asking.
Okay, okay,
they're different because
it's not like a hard taco
or anything like that.
It's made with frybread.
There's beans,
cheese, lettuce,
tomatoes, onions.
So it's almost like
a flatbread pizza-type
situation.
Yeah, kind of.
I personally like to
have salsa on top of it.
It just gives it
a little kick with it.
And back here you can
see that they're making
frybread, and
we don't roll it.
There's no such thing
as a rolling pin.
You just stretch it.
We stretch it or
flap it, and
we make it flat
into a circle.
Hi.
How's it going?
I'm Braydon.
I'm good.
I'm Samantha.
Nice to meet you.
Where do we start for
these tacos?
Okay, first we're gonna
use the frybread dough,
and I already have
this for you.
Okay.
You're gonna take
the dough and
start stretching out
the edges like this.
You wanna use
some flower so
that way it's
not too sticky.
I like my frybread big.
Well, when is it best?
When it's like
a pizza big.
So.
So now, slowly put
it into the oil.
Okay so
grab a plate right there.
This is the pinto
beans and ground beef.
If you want you can
put sour cream, salsa.
Homemade salsa?
Yes, homemade.
Okay, well I gotta try
the Homemade salsa.
There you go.
I'm so happy, but
the claims is so
high right now.
Oh my god, it is good!
You're right.
That last one
hit my soul.
The dough is so soft!
You guys nailed it.
I wanna know what's
going on over here, and
I kinda wanna be
part of that.
Just remember one,
two, one, two.
Can you show me?
Sure, so it's just
basically one, two, one,
two, one, two, one, two.
So, forward, back,
forward, back.
Now with the beat!
Good!
See, you already
added the hop!
See, you feel the music.
We're definitely out in
the desert in the middle
of nowhere, and this is
the Indian reservation.
They're not just
from Las Vegas,
you know what I mean?
There's people all the
way up from Canada that
are here, and from
Arizona and Utah, and
this and that.
So I kinda, yeah it's, I
just like that they chose
this as their
destination to meet up,
you know what I mean?
Outside of Las Vegas in
the middle of nowhere.
It's kinda rad.
This is like
the type of area
I would never wanna run
into a police officer.
I would not want him
to look at me and
be like, you ain't from
around here are you boy?
We're heading
a little bit
more than 250 miles north
of Las Vegas right now,
into the middle
of the desert.
There's about 3000 people
that live in that round
mountain area, and
a third of those people
work in the gold mine.
Nevada is a Right
to Work state, so
these miners
are some rough and
tumble, hard working,
hard drinking types.
We're on our way to
check out a local bar
after a shift.
Carver's is
a gathering place for
guys after work,
where they come for food,
booze, and
a round of pool.
How's it going?
Good, how are you?
Braydon.
Kurtis.
Nice to meet you.
There you go.
I wanna know what your
favorite thing is, but
now I see that it's
just a burger.
There's chicken strips
and burgers on there.
Let me get
the chicken strips.
Okay.
Let me try
the cheeseburger.
Oh, you know what?
Add bacon.
Bacon cheeseburger.
Oh, and mushroom and
swiss if I could.
Do you think that
there's any way maybe I
can see how you guys
operate back here?
Yeah.
Perfect.
What's going on
with that meat,
how you just press it
in there like that?
Yeah.
You got a exact
system that you do,
or-
Basically
just throw it on there.
What's your favorite
thing to eat here?
I like the burgers more
than the chicken strips.
Yeah?
I don't know.
I like that Curtis-
Just feels more right.
Curtis disagrees.
He likes the chicken
strips more.
Yeah.
That's why I had to get
both, just to
try them out.
So how are the people
just in the whole city?
It's a really small town,
so basically everybody
knows everybody,
and there's not
much drama out here
like there is in the
bigger cities and stuff.
Yeah, of course.
I don't know,
it's a fun place to live.
Yeah.
And I've been to some
of the best chefs in
the world, and I'm,
really think that you
kinda nailed this one.
Thank you, Curtis,
it was a fantastic meal.
I'm gonna go check
out this bar and
see what you guys got.
You cannot beat
me on this.
Well hello.
Six times I've played
against you I've.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
My name's Todd.
Braydon.
So this is your
whole stash?
The whole deal,
that little bar is
separate from the cafe,
but it's all in
the same building.
It was crazy cuz driving
up here, leaving,
I've been to Reno a
million times, I've been,
taken the Salt Lake path,
but
I don't think I've ever
taken this path where you
just kind of go into
the middle of the desert.
The middle of Nevada.
Especially on
a skateboard.
I know, right?
I'm just,
I'm lost out here.
I wanna know
a little bit,
mainly about
the mining fields.
The mine's been open
since the late 70s,
has never closed.
Who's getting rich
out of all this?
Because, this town is so
small, and if everybody's
kinda doing something,
we all work for it,
somebody has to be
getting wealthy.
Everybody gets paid here
good top wages in this
valley, decent insurance.
It's a good family
atmosphere.
It's out away from a lot
of the illegal activities
you hear about
in the news.
I like the solitude of
being out in the middle
of nowhere,
truthfully, myself.
Try it for a while,
you might like it.
Thank you again.
You betcha!
Perfect man,
I had such a good time.
Good.
It was a cool experience
just to see and learn
a little bit about Nevada
that I didn't know.
I knew it was a Silver
State, and people mined
gold and did everything
all day, but I didn't
realize to the scale that
it's at in a little city
of 3000 people, big
things in small places.
After seeing how miners
lived, I'm ready to
find me some other gems
out in this desert.
Just an hour outside
of Vegas is a county
where prostitution
is legal.
Mr. Braydon.
How's it going? How you
doing? My name is Gil,
and I'm your ride
to Sheri's Ranch.
All right!
And as discussed for the
ride up, Jack and Coke.
Oh, thank you.
Gil, you gotta
explain to me,
where are we
going right now?
We are going to Sheri's
Ranch which is a legal
brothel in Nye County.
And how close is
that to Vegas?
It's approximately
50 miles from
downtown Las Vegas.
They forget that
it's actually legal.
Even if you were a cop
picking him up, you're
just gonna drop him off
in somewhere legal.
The only thing would be
illegal is if you start
doing dumb shit in
the car on the way there.
How are most of your
customers that end up
coming through here,
that maybe-
I've picked up single
females, couples, and
a majority of
them are males.
Majority are males?
Mm-hm, yeah.
Is there an age group or,
cuz I know that-
I'd say from 45 to 55
is a age range that's
pretty consistent.
It's a very nice resort.
They've got a ten
room hotel, a pool,
tennis courts, volleyball
courts, so it's a resort.
Yeah.
It's really nice.
Nice.
And they have a bar area.
And they also have
a grill that has
amazing food.
Do they go all the way
down to good seafood?
They have steak and
lobster.
They have steak and
lobster?
Steak and
lobster's on the menu.
There's surf and
turf there?
Absolutely.
Well, I guess I know
what I'm gonna have to
try, aren't I?
That's how I'm gonna
judge if you guys
actually have the right
brothel or not.
You definitely gotta
try the tossed salad.
Yeah?
And we have arrived.
Wow, it's huge!
It's fantastic!
All right, Mr. Braydon,
welcome to Sheri's Ranch.
Thank you.
All right,
we'll be entering through
this far right-hand door.
Hi, welcome to Sheri's!
Hello, how are you?
I'm good!
Let me show you around.
Do girls sleep here for
weeks, days, months?
Is it-
Depends on the girl.
Some girls come to us
from other countries, so
they'll stay
a couple months.
With this,
other girls live locally,
like in Las Vegas, and
they'll stay like
a week at a time.
This is 60s bungalow.
Oh yeah, this is
extremely my everything!
So, the bungalows are for
you and a girl or
a couple girls.
I think we've
had in one time,
I think we've,
maybe 15 girls in here.
Just one guy?
Yeah!
Good for him!
He was a fucking
rockstar!
Good for him.
That's the only way
to live, right?
So, from what I
understand you girls stay
here for days, weeks,
months at a time?
Yes.
Is there points where
you guys cook each other
food, or-
What
we started in the last
two months was doing
a grocery list of
prepared meals.
So, like a meal plan.
A week at a time.
Oh yeah?
We all pitch in, and we
can save money that way
instead of eating
out every day.
The meal I'm making
tonight is Riley's
favorite.
Yes, chicken
spinach roll-ups.
I mean, so I take it
you're the main chef then
if every girl is
instantly looking at you.
Red, come on,
what do you cook?
We're making jambalaya.
That all sounds great.
We have another
sous chef, ladies.
Oh, wonderful!
Chef Braydon, you
definitely might wanna
add the bell pepper and
the onion.
The whole thing?
I want the whole thing.
Okay, going in.
It's going in.
Is that too much,
or is that?
Eh, it's fine.
Yeah, we'll make it work.
Trust me,
I like fatties, yo.
So, do you girls know
everybody's kind of
diets, their-
Yes, allergies and stuff.
And when do we get
to see you naked?
As soon as dinner's over.
Awesome, you're
the dessert?
Of course.
I just wanna get a run
down of what your
day-to-day is.
Everyday is different
around here being such
a rural area that
any day can be busy.
It could be busy one day
at 2 in the morning, and
then next day it'll be
10 o'clock at night or
5 o'clock in the evening.
Now tell me you're
not hungry?
Oh, I'm starving.
That looks fantastic
right there.
I'm gonna try the
Jambalaya but you, too.
You like it?
Mm-hm. Good.
I understand it's
the oldest profession.
It's a fantastic
profession.
But when you were a kid,
could you see that you
were gonna be working
in a place like this?
No, but
I'm not surprised.
I was a bad teenager.
How bad?
Very.
I was a bad teenager,
too.
My mother caught me
getting finger banged on
the hood of her
car outside in
broad daylight.
She called me a whore.
Is that-
And
look at where I'm at now?
Is there any
favorite things that
you girls have?
I'm sure-
I wanna
see her sit on your face
while I ride your cock.
Okay, good answer.
She likes my ass.
When you're ready to get
naked and have some fun,
you let us know, okay?
Absolutely.
Am I the only one?
No.
Oh yeah, naked.
Do you girls like
steak and lobster?
Oooh, medium rare.
The best way!
You can't talk with
your mouth full.
It's that good?
He's speechless.
That, too.
Thank you lovely
girls for everything.
God damn, I love my job.
Wow.
That was a fun,
fun place.
All right,
you ready to head back?
I am, thank you so much.
Go on in, Boss.
Thank you.
Hey Boss, I can drop
you off at your hotel,
if there's another venue
that you'd like me to
take you to,
I can arrange that.
I got the perfect spot.
If you don't mind,
literally just
a couple exits down.
Pretty much the way I see
it, though is that really
there's nothing better
than taking some good
guns and blowing some
shit up right after
an insane morning
like we've had.
So I'm headed 30 minutes
south of Las Vegas to
the Pro Gun Club.
This is just a little
hole off the freeway that
I've known about for
a little bit, so
I'm excited.
I got this while signing
up for a really cool
little club card at
one of the hotels.
Okay.
And, Mr. Gobbles has been
coming around everywhere
with me, and I figure
that today is his
day that he needs
to disappear.
And show appreciation for
him?
Exactly.
Nice!
There you go, buddy!
Oh shit!
There it is!
Just push it down.
Tell me that's not
the funnest thing ever?
Smells like
grilled pineapple.
Oh, I love it!
It does smell like
grilled pineapple.
I'm gonna go for
Gobbles on this one.
Outstanding!
Oh, there you go!
If I hit that,
I'm gonna be, honestly,
fucking shocked.
Three, two, one.
Oh man, blowing things
up is so much fun.
All right, brother,
let's see this one.
It's the funnest
gun I've ever shot.
Three, two, one.
Just know that if you're
ever in a gunfight with
me, nine out of ten times
you win Look at all this.
Right through
the AC/DC almost, too.
No!
That's the funnest
gun I've ever shot.
I don't who hit it, but
you gotta sport that.
Oh, definitely.
And that's how we do.
Boom boom, boom boom.
Yeah, this place is fun,
right?
Yeah.
Something about shooting
giant machine guns got me
all sentimental.
Maybe it was
the adrenaline.
Maybe it was the fact
that Gil was
force-feeding me Jack and
Cokes all day.
If there's a thing you
need to know about Vegas,
it's that this town
isn't any one thing.
There isn't one
kind of food.
There's barbecue,
high-class dining, and
free strip club buffets.
There isn't one culture.
There's some people
that have been here for
decades, and there's
transplants who are just
trying to make a name for
themselves.
Next time you come into
my town don't be do that
same touristy bullshit
everybody else does.
If you need to
eat surf and
turf, get off
the strip and
go do it with some of
them working girls.
If you wanna eat at
the best restaurants in
Vegas, sometimes
it's in a strip mall
in a shit part of town.
So quit fucking around
and get your ass here.
Have some fun and
make a mess, but
whatever you do, do not
pet those wild donkeys.
Those jackasses will bite
your fucking arm off.
