With Science Fiction Brothel, Heidi Fleiss is Back in Business

The Alien Cathouse Brothel will be part of the Area 51 Alien Travel Center.

The owner of the Bunny Ranch Brothel and reality TV star Dennis Hof is joining forces with the Hollywood Madame, Heidi Fleiss, to found a science fiction-themed brothel just up the street from Area 51. It will be called the Alien Cathouse.

“We both wanted to do something different, and we both like being on the cutting edge,” Hof told CBS Las Vegas. “There has never been a place like the Alien Cathouse before because no one ever went for it.”

The new brothel will replace an older brothel which Hoff described as a “disgusting, terrible place” without windows. In addition to the brothel itself, the partners have purchased an adjoining gas station, bar and convenience store which they intend to rebrand as the Area 51 Alien Travel Center.

Prostitution in licensed brothels is legal in Nevada, where the government collects taxes for services rendered.

The Alien Cathouse is due to open for business in the next several months.
