Recommended Places in Las Vegas

(This list was last generated Jun 17, 2008)

A note about restrooms ...

If you visit any of the recommended places below, please be very sure to use restrooms appropriately. Use public restrooms only if absolutely needed, discreetly, and individually. Rule of thumb is to never, never ever, go to a public ladies room in groups, even if you think it is ok to do so. If you must use a public restroom, get in (by yourself), do your thing, wash up, and get out. Please do not linger, loiter or horse around within a restroom.

Please help to make a positive impression of the TG community.

Thanks.

This is a non-inclusive list of the recommended (and not-so-recommended) places to go in Las Vegas.

Thanks to all who have recently submitted additions, updates, ratings and comments to this project. Your efforts help keep this listing current and accurate.

Pains have been taken to eliminate out of date and inaccurate information. Updates and additional recommendations are appreciated.

"Last visit" indicates that I (Annie) visited the place personally at that time. "Last report" indicates the date of the last report from a source I consider reliable. The later of the two will be listed.

One point of clarification, to eliminate misunderstandings. This is not a list of places where members of the TG community are known to hang out. This is a list of firms that have been known to give good (or bad) service to the members of the TG community. There are no guarantees that you will encounter any members of the TG community at any of these places at any time.

This list is now automatically regenerated when an addition or change is made. Customer ratings and comments are now included. You may add additional ratings and/or comments if you desire. (Comments that imply that illegal products or services, such as drugs, prostitution, etc., are available will not be posted.)

Firms having no customer/user ratings are indicated "(not rated yet)" and those having less than three customer/user ratings are indicated "Ratings Pending" in the listings below.

Stoplights indicate the following:

Personal reports that this is TG-friendly (or at least TG-oblivious) and people have received good service.
Proceed with Caution. People have reported good service, but other factors exist.
It is recommended you take your business elsewhere.

Please keep in mind that doodoo happens, and nothing is without risk. Venturing out in public, especially in an unfamiliar area, has its own risks, as well as rewards. You have to be willing to accept those risks, as well as reap the rewards. If something bad should happen, please don't blame us, but please pass on the information so others may know.

All firms listed have a physical storefront which is open to the public during their normal business hours.

This can best be described as a neighborhood bar that caters to the GLBT crowd. At Tropicana and Spencer in a strip mall by the Liberace Museum. Pool tables, video poker, lotsa beers on tap, impressive aquarium. New dance floor. It's been suggested to avoid the beer bust on Monday evenings as it is extremely crowded.

This has been a fave of the DLV people each year since 1997.

I'm downgrading this to a yellow light mainly because on a recent visit I did not feel safe there, either in the bar or on the way to/from the car, even though I was with a (male) friend at the time.

Still friendly, but the condition of the properly has gone downhill.

Yep, they still have the dancers.

They have a full kitchen, but this has not been in operation for some time.

The Las Vegas Outlet Center (nee Belz), toward the very south end of the Strip, is a favorite of the DLV people. I have yet to hear any negative reports for any of the shops in this mall.

Formerly Aladdin.

As of September 1, 2004, the ownership and management of the Aladdin will be taken over by Planet Hollywood. A rebranding and complete makeover will happen over the next several months.

Upgraded to green light again following a visit in November of 2004.

Aladdin was a legacy casino-hotel which was completely rebuilt from the ground up in the late 1990's. Walking distance (well, kinda) to many of the other vicinity places such as Paris, Bally's, Bellagio, etc.

Has the Desert Passage shopping mall. Good reports for both the hotel and the shops.

Several unisex restrooms exist within the hotel, casino, Desert Passage complex.

Some may say that the Rio is "One block from the Strip" but I say it's the better part of a mile!

Upper-midscale semi-trendy casino-hotel with very nice rooms (they say they are all "suites", I say they are larger rooms), a very good buffet, a fun casino, and a "Show In The Sky" that is indeed entertaining the first few times you see it.

Yet Another of the legacy Strip casino-hotels. No problems at all in hotel, casino, buffet, etc. The DLV 2002 people reported excellent service.

Two incidents with restroom/security reported, but I believe the people involved were acting inappropriately.

Although we've had DLV people stay here, and I've played here on a few occasions, there are multiple reports that this property may not be as t-friendly as others in the neighborhood.

Steak house is excellent!

Avoid the buffet! (Don't even think of it!) Food is gross with hundreds of screaming kids.
