Las Vegas: Gay bars and clubs
Angles/Club Lace 4633 Paradise Rd tel 791-0100.

Back Door Lounge
1415 E Charleston Blvd tel 385-2018. Daily 24hr.

Very friendly country bar, catering to both men and women, a mile west of the Strip between Flamingo and Tropicana. Square dancing on Tues evenings, line dancing on Thurs (beginners welcome), country dancing on Fri and Sat, and an almighty beer bust on Sun afternoons.
The Buffalo

Lively Levi's-and-leathers club in the heart of the main gay district that's the base for the Satyricons and Desert Brotherhood motorcycle clubs. Beer busts (especially on Fri evenings and Sun afternoons) are a bigger deal than music or dancing.

Flamboyant gay club, several miles west of the Strip toward Red Rocks, with an emphasis on music and dancing, and occasional strip shows. Beer flows freely all week, and the whole place goes Latin on Sun nights.
