But on and off Strip, you’ll find fun bars, clubs, events, variety shows, and entertainment that warmly welcome the LGBTQ community, even if they don’t explicitly cater to it.

When it comes to gay destinations, Las Vegas isn’t exactly Miami or Palm Springs, but we do what we can and we do it with a whole lot of camp.
That said, there are still plenty of places to celebrate your LGBTQ+ pride in Vegas all throughout “official” Pride month, and every other month of the year, too. June is just too hot-not sweaty-sexy-ripped-bodies hot, but eyeliner-running-down-the-face hot. In Las Vegas, we celebrate Pride in October (officially LGBT History Month).
