LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Queen Las Vegas — described as the "only gay hotel, restaurant, bar and nightclub" — has officially been slated to open in Fall 2023.
In a press release on Wednesday, Q Group Hospitality and hotelier Eduardo Cordova — creator of The Garden Las Vegas in the Arts District — have announced their plans to open the Queen Las Vegas.
The Queen will be located at 1215 S. Las Vegas Blvd. and will be open 24/7.
"It has been my mission to create a vibrant and inclusive entertainment district for our LGBTQ+ community, and I'm thrilled to announce that Q Hospitality Group has secured a prime location on the iconic Las Vegas Strip to create the Gayest destination in Las Vegas,” said Eduardo Cordova, CEO of Q Hospitality Group.
Officials say the property's 28 themed rooms, exterior lounge, and communal areas — formerly a part of the Thunderbird Hotel originally built in 1948 — will soon undergo renovations. The hotel is described as "a chic, mid-century modern style boutique hotel, restaurant, gaming lounge and nightclub located on Las Vegas Boulevard."
