It's all about the fabulous hotel pools here. Try the pools at the Blue Moon (the gay resort), as well as the Venetian, the Mandalay Bay, the Mirage and Caesar's Palace (the last two of which are adults only.)
Nightlife
The Fruit Loop area (off the Strip) has a cluster of gay bars. Western-themed gay bars are also popular. Alternative clubs with a mixed crowd can be found right on the Strip.
Best For
Those looking for hectic holiday filled with shopping, gambling, great restaurants, people watching and great shows.
Tips
>
You can often get much better prices if you're willing to do an evening flight to Las Vegas and return home on an "red eye" (overnight) flight.
>
Three day packages over the weekend are most popular (and more pricey). Consider going from Monday to Thursday if you're looking for a deal.
>
The picture give the impression that everything is compact and walkable. But the scale of Vegas is enormous, so be prepared to do some serious walking when you're moving from hotel to hotel along the Strip.
>
Check out the beautiful surroundings of Las Vegas by taking a day trip from companies like Pink Jeep Tours to Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon.
>
Stop by the huge fountain at the Bellagio to catch the water, sound and light show.
Recommended Hotels & Resorts
>
Paris Las Vegas: Probably the most gay-friendly of the big resort, right on the Strip.
>
The Bellagio and Caesar's Palace: In-your-face, over-the-top Vegas-style luxury, also on the Strip
>
Imperial Palace: A great budget choice on the Strip, right at home among its ritzier neighbours.
>
The Wynne, Manadalay Bay, Mirage, The Venetian and The Palazzo: Excellent luxury choices, all somewhat understated (relatively speaking - this is Vegas after all).
