ELEVATE
Las Vegas Pride Pool Party 2027
Join the hottest guys in town for a Vegas Pool Party to remember as the city says goodbye to Pride for another year.
ELEVATE – The Las Vegas Pride Pool Party 2027
ELEVATE brings Las Vegas Pride to the rooftop at SAHARA Las Vegas, with an afternoon of music, poolside drinks and swimwear on the northern end of the Strip. It is a chance to take Pride out of the clubs and into the sunshine, meeting fellow visitors before another night in Vegas.
- Upgrade your Vegas Stay at the top of the MGM Grande at the Skylofts, a boutique hotel with high-end amenities, 5-star service featuring lofts with 2-story windows offering fantastic views.
The Pool Party
- Next Edition: Awaiting dates – Returns in May and runs until mid October.
- Enjoy the Elevate Pride Pool Party at in Las Vegas from noon to 6pm.
- In partnership with Las Vegas PRIDE, experience an inclusive, off-the-rails soirée that’ll have even the most seasoned partiers feeling the energy!
- Gather your besties, don your most playful swimsuits, and let’s make a splash at the only rooftop bash on The Strip worthy of the LGBTQIA+ community.
- Don’t miss out on a day filled with fun, laughter and unapologetic self-expression. Make a splash together!
- Cabanas are available on a first-come basis. For a group, reserving one gives everyone a shared base for the afternoon.
- Elevate also hosts a special edition during LAS VEGAS PRIDE in October.
The venue
- Retro Pool at SAHARA Las Vegas – An open-air rooftop setting at 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard South, bringing the party above the casino floor.
- The poolside layout suits a social afternoon, with time for swimming, drinks and conversation between rounds of music. Cabana and daybed reservations offer a more comfortable base for groups.
- SAHARA sits at the northern end of the Strip. The gay clubs around Paradise Road are a separate outing, so plan a taxi or rideshare for your evening rather than a walk between venues.
Where to Go After the Party
Give yourself time to shower, change and eat after the pool closes. Sunday nightlife runs late, leaving a useful gap between the afternoon party and the clubs.
- Balla Italian Soul – Stay inside SAHARA for dinner before heading out. Handmade pasta, fire-roasted meat and fish, plus aperitivos, make this a easy place to regroup without another journey. Dinner service runs daily from 17:00 to 22:00.
- Fun Hog Ranch – Casual gay-bar stop before the late-night venues. Open 24 hours, perfect for an early evening drink without waiting for club doors. Bring cash; the bar is cash-only, with an ATM on site.
- Gipsy – Polished nightclub setting with a patio and large LED screens, live shows and different theme nights.
- Piranha – Perfect for a late-night finish, close to Gipsy.
Where to stay in Vegas?
Vegas’s gay nightlife is spread out, so choose your base around the pool party, clubs or Strip attractions.
- North Strip – Best for ELEVATE at SAHARA, with an easy return to your room after the pool. Take a taxi to the Paradise Road clubs.
- Central Strip – Best for a longer stay, with shows, restaurants and shopping nearby. A practical base for combining Pride with classic Vegas.
- Paradise Road / University District – Best for gay nightlife around Gipsy and Piranha. Check the hotel’s location; the district extends beyond the club cluster.
- Downtown / Fremont Street – Best for older casinos, Fremont East bars and a less resort-centred stay. Plan rides to SAHARA and the gay clubs.
