Synopsis

Vegas As A Queer Fantasyland?
You bet!
These days, the ultimate heterosexual adult playground is so awash in pink and lavender, in hot guys and same-sex subtexts, that Bugsy and Sinatra would hardly recognize the town. Twenty-first century Sin City is a magnet for gay and lesbian travelers and a mecca for relocating gays. The major hotel-casinos conduct gay weddings. Shows such as Elton John, Zumanity, Mamma Mia!, and Le Reve couldn't be more overtly homoerotic or gay-friendly. Even the mayor gets in on the act -- he showed up for the opening of a gay club in drag!

Gay Vegas addresses the needs -- and desires -- of both visitors and locals. Get a brutally honestly, completely un-PC take on where to go and, perhaps even more important, where not to go when you touch down. And don't miss the pictorial on Vegas' most phallic!

This is the only gay guide to Las Vegas you'll ever need.
