Pride month only happens once in a year, but when you visit Las Vegas, Pride happens every day. The city is known as one of the best LGBTQ+-friendly places.
Las Vegas puts the “loud” in “loud and proud,” catering to those looking for fun with like-minded people. There’s everything from pool parties in the summertime to daily activities at various casinos.
But for those looking to hit the nightclubs and bars, we’ve narrowed it down to the latest and greatest. Keep reading to check out the best gay clubs in Las Vegas!
Badlands Bar
What better place to grab a drink, catch a drag show, and dance the night away than Badlands Bar? They feature special events and drink specials daily—every day you can expect something new!
When you’re ready to wind down or are waiting for friends to arrive, you can play a round of pool.
Events change through the week, from bingo on Monday afternoons to a beer bust on Saturday nights, so check their calendar for this week’s events.
There are also regular drag shows, karaoke and trivia nights.
The Phoenix
When you’re wanting more of a lowkey night, spend it at The Phoenix. You’ll find people of all genders and sexual proclivities there. Located west of the Strip, you can’t miss it—just look for a large painted phoenix on the doors.
Enjoy a few drinks and play a video game on their large projector wall while you’re at it! There’s also karaoke and regular drag nights, so check the bar’s calendar for the week’s events.
They also have a full kitchen, so whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a full meal, you can find it here.
Drinks are reasonably priced.
The Garage
Where else can you go to find daily drink specials and discounts? The Garage treats its customers right by offering discounts on shots, top-shelf spirits, and specialty cocktails. No wonder why it’s one of Vegas’ most popular gay bars.
Their food menu features affordable bar snacks like loaded nachos and chili cheese fries. Their happy hour lasts until 7 PM while their daily specials run from 8 PM to 4 AM.
They also run Buzztime Trivia on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and a live DJ plays on the first Saturday of the month.
Piranha Nightclub
Don’t be fooled by the outside of this club. Sure, it looks like any ordinary nightclub you’d see around every corner, but this one is different.
Once you enter, you’re hit with hot blue and red lights with electric dance music pounding in the background. The disco ball gives everything a shiny reflection, making it seem as if you stepped into a drag queen’s dressing room.
And speaking of drag queen, you just never know who might show up!
Flex Nightclub
Normally, tourists don’t know much about this place. It’s more of a scene for locals. However, that doesn’t mean you aren’t welcomed!
It’s also home to weekly and monthly events. You can expect karaoke nights along with a free weekly drag show, My O My, on Thursdays.
They’re one of the best places to go if you’re looking to escape the bright lights and noise of the city for something more quaint. It’s a laidback atmosphere where you can sit back and relax. Get to know their friendly bartenders or play a round of pool.
What sets them apart from other nightclubs is there’s never a cover charge. That’s right, you won’t be blindsided when you reach the door and have to shell out $5 or $10 just to enter. They’re also open 24 hours!
Get Ready to Dance the Night Away
No matter your gender or sexual orientation, Vegas welcomes everyone with open arms. Here is where you’ll find people you can relate to and also have a good time with at one of these nightclubs and/or bars!
