The Four Seasons is another classic choice, although its incarnation in Vegas is actually seen as an exclusive secret. The fabulous style and range of facilities make it the ideal place for a gay traveller on their first trip to Sin City. Sunken living areas, cloud-comfort beds, rich colour accents and all the amenities you need, your suite will become a home away from home. Even though you’re in one of 4000 rooms, it doesn’t feel like they’ve phoned it in. Glide around on the gondolas, bask surrounded by palms on the neo-classical pool deck, shop and eat to your heart’s content in the Grand Canal Shoppes, or explore the 10 outdoor pools.Įventually, you might make your way back to your room amidst this wealth of distractions. It’s got style and character in abundance, and there’s always something new for guests to see or do. Famous for its incredibly intricate recreation of Venice’s Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge and Saint Mark’s Square, as well as the interior’s homage to the Sistine Chapel, the décor is astounding. We loved the entertainment by the outdoor pool and the on-site nightclubs if you do drag yourself away from the facilities here, the Strip is mere moments away.įrom understated elegance to pure, decadent glamour, The Venetian is justifiably the by-word for Las Vegas livin’ around the world. Each one has at least 2 TVS (no fighting over the remote!) and a work area, should you need to get down to business while you’re on your Vegas trip. The interior of the towering Encore building is elegant and opulent without being over-the-top, and the suites are spacious with a contemporary design. It’s such a simple and inclusive approach, we’re amazed more places aren’t offering it! Of course, it helps that this programme goes hand-in-hand with an absolutely stunning hotel with luxurious accommodation options, amazing restaurants and the ideal spa to relax after a tense few hours in the casino! This enormous 5-star hotel and casino is setting a new bar for gay-friendly hotels in Las Vegas with its Pride Concierge service specifically to help LGBT travellers find the best gay nightlife, events and entertainment around the city. Essentially everything you need is here: you could come to Vegas and never leave the Palms (we recommend you try to at least once, of course!). If you’re saving money for your cocktails, go to the 24-hour food court if you’ve won big on the slot machines, head up the tower to the Michelin-starred Alize. Unwind after all the gambling and dancing at the luxury spa, or enjoy the mixed hammam. Oh, yeah, and there are rooms, too! 703 of them, to be precise, ranging from the minimalist standard rooms in the Ivory Tower to the (in)famous suites designed for bachelor/ette parties that include pools, bowling alleys and jazzy colours.
Nightclubs and the famous Sky Villas live in the ‘Fantasy Tower’, the Pearl Theatre hosts pop divas, and the art in the new KOAS ‘entertainment experience’ (including work by Damien Hirst) really make the Palms stand out.
Opened in 2001, it has only grown since then, and a multimillion-dollar renovation taking place from 2016 to 2019 has put it right at the forefront of Vegas entertainment. This design-savvy, facility-rich mega-resort is where all the cool kids head to in Las Vegas – which means plenty of gay travellers, of course! It’s not only one of the best gay-friendly hotels in Las Vegas it’s one of the coolest. The gay scene might not be LA-levels, but there’s plenty here to make it an essential West Coast stop. With so much glitz and glamour (sequins, strip shows, Chippendales, Cher), it’s a fabulous place to be gay. It’s bursting at the seams with incredible entertainment, from the big-name music concerts, to big-budget stage shows, to performances that simply never get old, like the Blue Man Group and the seven Cirque de Soleil shows. You can win big, either at the blackjack table or in the bar. Here you’ll find Venetian Canals, Egyptian Pyramids and the Eiffel Tower amidst the luxury hotels and casinos jangling with the noise of fruit machines and tumbling coins. Shimmering and glittering in the desert like a mirage, Gay Las Vegas is home to a thousand promises. But, boy, is that reputation well deserved.
Sin City, The City That Never Sleeps, Entertainment Capital of the World, Neon Capital of the World, what happens there stays there… Las Vegas has got a reputation that far outstrips its surprising size (a permanent population of fewer than 1 million).
