Something missing in "Sin City"
With so much to offer even the most degenerate straight folks, you'd
expect Sin City to offer the gay demographic the same "sinful
opportunities" as our swinging,
pandering, hetero counterparts. Yet as a "girl4girl" living in Las
Vegas, I'm sad to report that the gay club scene is surprisingly,
well, pathetic. Granted, we don't have as many homo's per capita as
L.A. or San Francisco, but even Palm Springs' gay scene kicks our ass!
For a town that stays ahead of the curve with "what's hot" and "who's
got the cash", I'm just surprised it hasn't tapped into the 50 plus
billion dollars a year spent by the LGBT community. Isn't it obvious
that "We're Money, and We're Ready to Party?"
Not that the venues in the "Fruit Loop" don't deserve props--I'm glad
we have any gay-friendly clubs here at all--but the caliber is
sub-par. Those of us who want cutting-edge sound and lighting, or a
swanky, ultra lounge atmosphere have to go
elsewhere to find it. Once there, you can forget about grinding with
the eye-candy of your choice without some fratwad making rude
comments. The difference is, when I go out clubbin', I want to see
more girl4girl representation than some drunk sorority girl making out
with her friend or two coked-out strippers doing it for money.
Okay, enough bitching already, I just had to get that out. Now, for
some really good news: A brand new Alternative dance club has opened on The
Strip! It's called KRAVE, but they should have named it "ASAP",
because if we don't get there fast, you know it won't last. Now, the
word "alternative" can mean many things (leather and St. Andrew's
crosses come to mind), but the point is, the "Family & Friends of
Dorothy" have a new place to guzzle Red Bull Vodka's, bust out those
tired glow sticks, and shake our asses. Hope to see you there!
