That's something to think about, particularly for those of you in the hospitality business in Vegas.Īlthough, it seems, many of those who run the Strip's casino resorts already know this. I didn't know, for example, that more gay travelers come to Las Vegas each year than San Francisco. You'll certainly learn a great deal from the book. Friess intersperses the book with interviews with prominent Gay Las Vegans. But Friess also includes a chapter on gay nightlife that you probably won't find in your Fodor's guide, and admirable sections on local culture and the gay community. After an introductory section that includes a brief review of Las Vegas' gay history, Friess rattles off chapters that address the usual tourist quandaries: where to stay, what to see, where to eat. What will you find here? Plenty, whether you are gay, lesbian, bi, straight, or gender-ambiguous. Steve Friess's Gay Vegas is a welcome addition to the catalog of Vegas guidebooks, because it speaks directly to a prominent Las Vegas audience.
