Best Gay Bars & Clubs
Those that want to find gay bars and clubs in Las Vegas for men to meet men can go off that main list we just posted. We used to live in a world where things were far less inclusive, but these days most venues have become more LGBT friendly instead of being strictly local gay bars.
Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Las Vegas
At the same time we are not aware of any straight up lesbian bars in Las Vegas for women to meet women. The mixed list should help get you pointed in the right direction and if there are no cute girls around to hit on head out and find another place to try.
With that said Freezone has lesbian parties on Sunday nights.
Drag Shows & Trans Bars
At this moment there are not exactly trans bars in Las Vegas, but you can find drag shows that may help you locate ts near you at:
- Dragaoke! at Flex on Wednesdays
- Flamboyance at Flex on Thursdays
- What a Drag! at Flex on Saturdays
- Revival Sundays at Piranha Nightclub
- Bam! Fridays at Charlie’s Las Vegas
- Drag Brunches at The Garden on weekends
Please use the comments to let us know if anything you notice on this page is no longer relevant or if any new LGBT hot spots in your area have opened up since our last visit here. We also want to say that we know how things are here pretty good but we are not local experts by any means.
If you think we should be listing any venues as strictly lesbian or gay bars definitely let us know. We have tried our best, but we can’t be experts on the whole world.
Many of these gay or lesbian bars and clubs can be found in the LGBT nightlife area of the Fruit Loop District near the airport around Paradise Road. That gayborhood can definitely be a lot of fun on the right night.

Best LGBT Dating Sites
We know that going out to a local LGBT bar or club is not the way that everyone likes to spend their time. We don’t all enjoy the party scene, and these days many of us have become a lot more introverted which is totally understandable.
We also should not assume that everyone reading this is fully ‘out’ at the moment and some may not want to have their photos posted on social media. Whatever your reasons or motivations are LGBT dating sites are a great way to meet people without having to get all dressed up and head to a gay or lesbian bar to do so.
The first sites we want to discuss are part of the huge Adult Friend Finder network. We bet most of you have seen the AFF links online before since they have helped millions of people hook up in their over fifteen years in the game.
Men Nation is the main site you can use to find gay men near you to hook up with and you might be shocked at just how many users it has. The ladies will have more success on Lesbian Personals, the name pretty much says all you need to know about that one.
Those who are bi-sexual and enjoy hooking up with all varieties can use Adult Friend Finder where you can find all the users in their vast network. When you are ready for fast m4m hook ups nothing out there is going to work better than Men Nation.
For f4f hook ups Lesbian Personals is going to be your top option. The last site we want to tell you about is the biggest and best transgender dating site in the world, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Las Vegas is easier now than it has ever been because more ts near you are finally comfortable living the life they want to live.
Alright then, we have told you all about the Las Vegas LGBT nightlife as best as we can. You now know where to go to find mixed, gay, or lesbian bars and clubs in your area plus drag shows to party with trans and all sorts of LGBT dating sites. We hope you make the most of the information at hand.
