Where are the Cruisy Areas? |
Warning: The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Vice Squad is diligent in knowing locations where lewd and lascivious
behavior occurs. If you know about a cruisy place, chances are
very good so does vice. It has been said that entrapment and less
than honest techniques have transpired to apprehend potential suspects.
An anonymous encounter may not be worth the risk of spending time in
jail.

safer locations such as gay-owned/friendly businesses. The Fruit Loop is a large group of gay business' located one block south of the Hard Rock on Paradise Rd. between Harmon and Tropicana simply moments from the strip.

Are there any nude beaches
near Las Vegas? |
Las Vegas had a nude gay beach at Lake Mead. It was
popular on summertime weekends. The water level at Lake Mead is
currently 80 feet below 1998 levels. Because of this, the location of
what was the beach is now in the middle of a ridge line a couple miles
from the water. From reports, mostly straight families have taken over
the area. The beach is no longer very popular with the gay community
these days. We highly recommend alternate activities. Directions are: Head east on Lake Mead
Blvd. out of North Las Vegas, continue past Hollywood Blvd. and wind
through the desert several miles to the stop sign. Turn left and head
north toward Overton and Calville Bay. 4.8 miles later (clock it or
get lost) turn right onto 8.0 Road. Veer left at every fork in the
road. Park in the lot overlooking the lake and hike north for about 5
minutes, into a little ravine and over a narrow trail. Advice to
the wise: Keep your clothes on until you get there. Park
rangers have been known to occasionally cite for "Lewd and
Lascivious behavior", carrying a $200 fine. WARNING: The rangers are
likely to be out in plain-clothes issuing tickets for
nudity lately. BE CAREFUL! |

Everyone has different ideas of what is "good."
The

date of this writing. The gay clubs in Las Vegas are for the most
part neighborhood bars with their own personalities. You're
invited to view the club listings on the
Nightlife page to determine which club suits your tastes. With the exceptions
as noted on the

Women?

Are there any gay hotels,
casinos or resorts? I
have heard rumors of a gay hotel opening soon, Do you
have any information on this?
Are there any that are more gay
friendly?
|
Please keep this in mind: The Casino business is
all about Money!
There are no gay casinos, in Las Vegas. The
Las Vegas gaming industry is very competitive. Hotels are in a
constant state of renovation, spending billions of dollars
constructing every theme or attraction in order to draw more and more
visitors through their doors. Hotels, casinos, and resorts must make
themselves available and attractive to every market niche. Eliminating
90% of a potential market, i.e. the straight visitors, would be
financial suicide.

Las Vegas Premier Gay Resort.
Please check the
accommodations page
for further information on gay-owned and gay-friendly places to stay.

were not successful and closed within a brief time of opening. |
