Grand Bazaar Shops

The Grand Bazaar Shops are the newest addition to the Las Vegas shopping experience. This colorful series of tent-like buildings and stalls in front of Bally's Las Vegas, opened in early 2015. Grand Bazaar blends the feel of an open-air market with the pure majesty of the Vegas Strip for an intoxicating combo that has everyone buzzing (literally, be sure to stop by Tipsy Truffles for alcohol-infused chocolates). Elements like a captivating light show every night at 9:00 pm and 12:00 am and a bar known for its eye-catching flair-style bartenders add to the fun.

Town Square Las Vegas

Town Square has a little bit of everything.

Things to do in Las Vegas for Pride Day

Las Vegas is as camp as Christmas. This, after all, is the city that has hosted epic residences by some of the planet’s biggest gay icons – Elton John, Celine Dion, Cher, Barry Manilow, Katy Perry, Mariah and Liberace, to name just a few. Sin City’s 24-hour party culture means there’s always a club, restaurant or high-class cocktail bar to get the party started, and who hasn’t dreamt of spending feather boa-clad evenings at the blackjack tables followed by long languid days sipping pina coladas in poolside cabanas? Naturally, then, fabulous Las Vegas is also a fine place to celebrate Pride, with a flamboyant annual parade and festival that could even be said to rival the more famous parties in neighboring San Diego and LA. Better yet, in a bid to dodge the searing desert heat of traditional summer Pride events, Sin City’s official Pride parade and festival takes place in the marginally more bearable climes of October, meaning you can, should you so wish, march for Pride twice in the same year! Here’s what to expect from Las Vegas Pride, and the city’s other hot tickets for LGBTQ+ travelers, in October, in June, and all year round!. Las Vegas Pride Parade and Festival The Las Vegas Pride Night Parade and Festival take place over a single weekend in October. Friday evening sees the weekend get started in earnest as some 30,000 revelers join the party in Downtown Las Vegas. There’s a pre-show from around 6PM, with a parade along 4th Street at 7PM. You can expect all the usual entertainments: eye-poppingly OTT floats (many sponsored by the huge Vegas casino resorts), plus theatrical costumes, drag kings and queens, live music and marching bands. Like pretty much everything else in Vegas, it’s quite the spectacle. The parade finishes close to the Fremont Street Experience, the ultra-modern dining and entertainment complex that’s the jewel in Downtown’s sparkling crown, and where you can expect plenty of Pride-related partying, with cocktails, live music and LED light shows getting the party into full swing. The official Pride Block Party, however, can be found a little further back along 4th Street, featuring food trucks, bars and live performances until late. Entry to the Friday event is free, but you’ll need tickets for the all-day festival at the same location on the Saturday. Kids are welcome to hang out until 7PM but stage shows get a little racy after with acts that are not necessarily recommended for tender young eyes and ears. There’s also a Pride Pets event at Craig Ranch Regional Park on Saturday afternoon, with prizes available for very good (and very well-dressed) doggos. June Pride in Las Vegas Las Vegas is of course fabulous year-round (it even says so on the famous sign!) so – no surprises – the city does also get heavily involved in the global Pride month of June, with unofficial Pride parties and events popping up across town. Some of the best recurring annual shindigs include these absolute must-dos… The Phoenix Bar & Club is one of Sin City’s premier gay bars and hosts a Pride party on the first Saturday every single month of the year. For obvious reasons, June’s is perhaps the biggest of them all. Expect karaoke, drag acts and other surprises. Only the biggest and best LGBTQ+ pool parties in Vegas, Temptation Sundays run weekly at the Luxor through summer, promising go-go dancers, stylish drag queens, live DJs and pool discos! Catch the Las Vegas Men’s Chorus performing their uplifting mix of pop, Motown and musical showtunes. The legendary Queen Las Vegas is the Strip’s only LGBTQ+ bar, restaurant and club. June highlights include karaoke (natch), drag queen performances (of course), ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ viewing parties, and weekend drag brunches. LGBT+ Las Vegas Nightlife The LGBTQ+ nightlife in Las Vegas is wild at just about any time of year, but never more than in June and October, when there are all sorts of Pride-related theme nights going on. We’ve already mentioned the must-visit Queen Las Vegas, with its hedonistic weekend club nights. Celeb fave Piranha offers similarly hi-NRG all-night beats, strobe lighting and exclusive boxes with Strip and dance floor views.  Hit up the Flex Cocktail Lounge, Quadz, Fun Hog Ranch and The Garage for slightly more laid back LGBTQ+ vibes, including theme nights, karaoke, billiards, darts and more. Unleash your inner Nina Simone accompanied by a live pianist at Fremont Street karaoke favorite Don’t Tell Mama. Or mosey over to the Flamingo to catch the rip-roaring theatrical production of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!, starring a rotating cast of the planet’s most fabulous drag queens. Of course, this barely scratches the surface of the astonishing number (and variety) of LGBTQ+ parties and events held year-round in Sin City. Check the official Las Vegas Pride calendar for all the latest listings. Top Las Vegas Attractions You’re in Vegas, baby! This a city that truly never sleeps, so naturally there’s plenty to see and do here, should you fancy a break from all that partying. Some of our favorite things to do include the below… Seeing the Bellagio fountain lit up in the colors of the Pride flag during the festival. Catch the show every 15 minutes from 7PM. And while you’re there, the Bellagio just happens to have its own fine art gallery and botanical garden, as well as some of the hottest designer shopping in town. There’s no souvenir selfie more fabulous than a snap by the ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign at the end of the Strip. Get there via the quite excellent Deuce bus service or, heck, hire a pink cadillac and drive there with the top-down for ultimate Instagram bragging rights. You’re spoiled for choice with the proliferation of shows in and around the Las Vegas Strip. Pick from major rock and pop stars, comedians, conjurors, puppeteers and, of course, the famous Blue Man Group and Cirque shows. Choose your own adventure on a Pink Jeep Tour of Vegas – or beyond! Options include Strip deep dives, cruises out to Red Rock Canyon, and even epic round-trips to Death Valley’s Badwater Basin. Get pampered to the max at the Roman baths at Qua Baths & Spa in Caesars Palace, where the 24-carat gold collagen facial massage is just about as decadent as massage gets. Ride the Las Vegas High Roller, currently the second-tallest observation wheel on the planet, for far-reaching views across the glittering city skyline and beyond. Book a private pod with bubbly for the win (and to calm your nerves 550 feet up)! Many of the above attractions and activities are included with a Go Las Vegas pass, which could save you up to 50% when visiting multiple Sin City bucket-listers.
