LAS VEGAS - The Chicken Ranch, one of the best-known brothels in the business, is for sale for just under $7 million.
"I'm going to be 63 this summer," said Ken Green, who has run the business for 22 years. "I'm just working a little more at it than I want to."
Green said he bought the brothel in 1982 for $1.25 million from Walter Plankinton, who named it after the Texas establishment that closed in the 1970s and was made famous on stage and screen as "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
Green said he developed the property from two doublewide trailers into a 40-acre spread with a bar, parlor, swimming pool and three bungalows with Wild West, jungle and Victorian themes. The brothel is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.
"You mention the name `Chicken Ranch' everyone gets a little smile on their face and knows what you're talking about," Green said Monday. "We're not raising poultry out there."
