Notes on Las Vegas:
Unfortunately, Las Vegas does
not have a "gay ghetto" or a central area for gays to
congregate. The few bars and dance clubs it does have are widely
spread out. The closest thing is the "Commercial
Center" that contains a couple of gay bars and both of the
city's bathhouses. It is located on East Sahara Ave. about a
half mile or so behind the Sahara Hotel.
None of the big Vegas hotels,
either formally or informally, attracts a "gay crowd." But by
far the most "hip" and fashionable hotel has to be the "Hard
Rock." This is where youth and beauty stays. The studs who hang
out here may not be gay but they sure are gorgeous.
There is also a cluster of
gay business within a couple of blocks of the Hard Rock Hotel.
It is referred to as "The Fruit Loop."
