Chicago—The Resort at Sheri’s Ranch, Nevada’s most exclusive licensed brothel near Las Vegas, is hosting Togas & Temptations on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24, from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at its venue in Pahrump. The event invites guests to bask in the splendor of ancient Rome, with two nights of indulgence, intrigue, and immersive entertainment beneath the desert stars.
Sheri’s Ranch madam, Dena, along with the courtesans, chose the Roman Empire theme to honor the historical roots of sex work as a necessary and integrated part of society. In ancient Rome, where sex work was legal and openly practiced, some high-status courtesans who catered to the elite were able to cultivate social influence, financial independence, and a measure of personal autonomy.
“History shows us that sex work has always been woven into the fabric of civilization,” Dena said. “In ancient Rome, certain high-status sex workers were sometimes known and even admired for their beauty, charm, and associations with powerful figures, despite the social stigma attached to their profession. This event is both a tribute to that legacy and a reminder that the pursuit of sensual pleasure is timeless.”
On Friday, guests will enjoy the Roman Forum Banquet, an interactive murder mystery dinner theater where attendees work together to solve the suspicious assassination of the Roman Emperor. The evening also includes a Roman bazaar featuring artisans, games, tarot reading, body art, and dancing—plus a feast of roasted meats, flatbreads, honey cakes, and flowing wine.
Saturday brings Pompey the Great’s Triumph, a lavish celebration featuring a triumphal parade, gladiator challenges and fire-eating performances. The night continues with a Roman-inspired feast of truffle arancini, cornish hens, prime rib, risotto, gelato, and uniquely crafted cocktails fit for Caesar himself.
Togas & Temptations is the upcoming installment in Sheri’s themed event series, following the success of 2024’s Arabian Nights and Wild West Hoedown celebrations. According to Dena, these events serve a unique purpose for guests seeking connection and curiosity in a safe, judgment-free setting.
“Many people are intrigued by the idea of visiting a legal brothel but hesitate under ordinary circumstances,” Dena explained. “These events provide a fun, immersive atmosphere where guests—whether solo, couples, or groups—can socialize with our ladies and experience something unforgettable, without any pressure or obligation. It’s all about joy, celebration, and fostering a welcoming community for adults.”
As for how decadent things might get, the madam isn’t shy about the hedonistic possibilities the legal brothel offers.
“No matter what your pleasure is—as long as it’s legal—we can make it happen,” Dena said. “This event would give Caligula a run for his money.”
Entry to the event is $70.00 per person, per night. Access to the event includes all performances, dinner, and entertainment. Intimacy with the courtesans is not included in the ticket price but may be arranged separately.
