Las Vegas Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

  • Avoid traffic by not driving. If you’re staying on the Strip, which a majority of travelers do, you don’t really need a car—and traffic here can be bumper to bumper even at midnight! The Strip has an easy-to-use monorail system, and just walking along the larger-than-life boulevard is an experience in itself.
  • Get hitched. Although Nevada is not likely to pass a same-sex marriage law anytime soon, Vegas still makes for the classic quickie wedding destination. A number of smaller, campy chapels on the northern part of the Strip will perform gay ceremonies, as well as some of the larger Strip hotels.
  • Vegas can be cold. Although everyone laments the summer heat (which is never that awful because most of tourist Vegas is experienced indoors), wintertime can be downright chilly in Sin City. Hotels close their outdoor pools, and it has been known to snow on the Strip! Be sure to pack a jacket if you're not going in summertime.
