RSS FeedA new Strip hotel
This probably isn’t new, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it, and I thought it was interesting. Apparently, there are two hotels at 3655 LV Blvd South. Sure, Paris Las Vegas is there, but according to Orbitz so is this place, which gets its own entry:
Gay Paris Las Vegas
3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109
2 Miles North of Las Vegas McCarran Intl Airport
It seems like something out of a sketch comedy skit–someone calls to check into the regular Paris hotel, but the staff thinks he’s looking for “Gay Paris,” and comedy ensues!
What makes this curious is that they can’t just advertise Paris as a gay-friendly hotel. They instead bifurcate their promotional efforts into “straight” and “gay” versions of the resort. Are they afraid that homophobes wouldn’t check into the Paris hotel if it was promoted as gay-friendly, and that they’ll think that “Gay Paris” is just another hotel somewhere else?
