Week of August 20
Whether you’re a local or tourist, we always feature our favorite spots along with all the new and exciting things our city has to offer.
This week’s QVegas celebrates the leaders, performers, and community voices that keep Las Vegas shining as a beacon for LGBTQ+ life. From the HRC Gala to the Drag Royale stage, we’re spotlighting the people who remind us that progress isn’t abstract—it’s personal, hard-fought, and worth celebrating.
