Right now, happening every Thursday through November 18, the Garden is hosting Las Vegas’s “Drag Superstar,” a drag race-styled competition featuring the Valley’s fiercest up-and-coming Queens, where attendees get to vote on who moves on to the next week and the grand prize winner will be invited to join the Garden’s famed residency lineup, which includes many RPDR alums. Piranha Nightclub The Phoenix Bar & Lounge The Matinee. They’ve also got great food-think upscale gastropub fare like angus beef sliders and cauliflower wings-great happy hour specials, DJs and bottle service on weekends, and they host Ru Paul’s Drag Race viewing parties. Temptation Sundays is the place to be for sun-soaked partying on the Strip. An extravaganza of famous Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach Chamber players and soloists from our area and Las Vegas will combine their skills to present.

But despite the challenges of opening in the midst of a pandemic, the Garden quickly became the hottest gay bar in town, thanks in part to a sexy, stylish space in the super-hot, hip, and happening DTLV Arts District, as well as a Bottomless Drag Brunch every Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, as far as gay nightlife is concerned, it's largely a question ofjoining in with the local scene. It’s been a long time since a new LGBTQ bar opened in Las Vegas, and the Garden didn’t exactly have timing on its side-originally scheduled to open March 20, 2020, the date got pushed (for obvious reasons) into June of that still-not-a-great-year.
