Alien-Themed Sci-Fi Bordello Opening In Nevada


So I’m poking around the Web searching for things to do in Las Vegas after I cover the Consumer Electronics Show for Giz in couple of weeks. Then I stumble across this. And that raises two very important questions. One: Is this so bizarre that I should actually check it out (in the name of science and bad ideas)? And two: What in hell was I searching for to begin with?

Now before you get your knickers in a twist, I’m sure my wife wouldn’t take kindly to my going all Captain Kirk with an Orion slave girl. So it’s not going to happen. But if you’re so inclined, then Dennis Hof – the guy behind HBO’s Cathouse reality series – has big plans for you.

The Las Vegas Review explains that he:

…recently bought a rundown bordello 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas [near a former federal test site he’s dubbing Area 51] and unveiled plans to renovate and reopen it with a science fiction theme. He is calling it Alien Cathouse and promising “girls from another world.”

Hollywood Madam will be the chief alien design queen.

File this one under science fiction gone mad, only in America (hmm…or Japan) and nothing to do with gadgets. But hey, like me, you had to find out more. [Las Vegas Review Journal via io9]
