Las Vegas' Best Gay & Lesbian Bars (with Map and Images)

Las Vegas may not have a famous gay bar scene like Miami or San Fransisco, but Sin City brings the energy and flair in spades! Vegas' best gay bars tend to be dives, many of which reside on the "Fruit Loop"—a designated district for gay bars just east of the Strip. Beyond the Loop, you'll find that most Vegas bars, clubs, and events welcome the LGBTQ+ community with open arms, even if they don't cater exclusively to it. This is Vegas, after all.
