Las Vegas gay bars are spread across the city. There’s a small area near the University, around 1 mile east of the Las Vegas Strip, where a group of bars are located. This area is called ‘Fruit Loop.’ and you could conveniently do a night of bar hopping here.
One of the best things about going to a gay bar in Las Vegas is that almost all of them operate 24/7. Who needs sleep, right?
Another area is downtown Las Vegas, which is north of the strip. The venues there are rather spread out.
The final location gays head out for Las Vegas gay bars is the Historic Commercial Center, which is halfway between the University District and Downtown. A few bars are conveniently located close to each other here.
