Miami Beach
 Its beautiful beaches, Caribbean climate, and non-stop nightlife have for years been the city's recipe for satisfaction, and its wealth of attractions catered to the LGBT community has made Miami a top destination. Miami has a well-deserved reputation as a premier travel destination. Famous for its vibrant and exotic clubs, bars and clientele, the nightlife here is beyond comparison. Venues regularly promote theme nights and live shows, not to mention it's a regular stop on the party circuit.
Key West
 A long standing gay destination as well as an historic and culture rich town, Key West was the first American city to actively and openly recruit gay tourists. Points of interest include the former home of Ernest Hemingway, now open to the public as a museum and populated by descendants of his famous polydactyl cats. Duval Street is the epicenter of gay nightlife, culture and community, home of the famous Bourbon Street Complex, and the PrideFest Parade each June.
San Francisco
 The "City by the Bay" is one of the world's most panoramic, open and vibrant, attracting millions of tourists each year. Gay San Francisco is absolutely integral to that well-deserved reputation, integrated into every aspect of the city's life, from nightlife to politics to fashion to construction. And gay life is hardly limited geographically to the Castro; you'll find gay people everywhere. Gay bars, restaurants and business are sprinkled through many of the city's neighborhoods.
Las Vegas
 For a city that bills it self as the nation's adult playground, Las Vegas' gay scene has a surprisingly small town feel. There are a number of fun gay bars and clubs here for all types. While bars are sprinkled throughout the city there are mainly two groupings. The "fruit loop" on Paradise is basically a collection of three strip malls around gay bars, the Gipsy nightclub, and a bookstore. The Commercial Center off Sahara is a little more rough around the edges and houses two bathhouses and a collection of bars. Attached to Planet Hollywood Casino is Krave, the only gay club on the strip.
Los Angeles
 Some people hate it, but those who love Los Angeles - really love it. If you can handle the traffic, the tans and the "business," you can have a great time in LA's gay scene. A must for any gay traveler in the area is West Hollywood--an autonomous gay city right in the center of LA. With 40 percent of its citizens identifying as gay, WeHo is in fact gayest city in the country. LA boasts some other great gay 'hoods, from pockets of Silver Lake to more mixed and trendy Mt. Washington and Los Feliz.
Chicago

Like New York or Atlanta in their regions, Chicago serves as the Midwest's cosmopolitan hub and attracts young and old alike--all looking to escape to the freedoms and opportunities of the big city. Gay life (and gay bars) in Chicago is mostly concentrated in two areas: Boystown (really "East Lakeview") and Andersonville which is farther up the city's north side.
New York
 Rich with the history of Stonewall, a lively LGBT community and the fabulosity of being the city that never sleeps, New York is so full of options it can be overwhelming. Don't fret, it is not hard to plan the perfect queer-tinerary of the Big Apple. Seven days a week you can find what, and possibly who, you're after no matter where you hang out on the continuum. Gay culture has spread its wings throughout New York and the well-known gay areas such as Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen and The Village are no longer your only option. Venture over to the Upper West Side or Queens or Park Slope, Brooklyn and expand your options even further. After all, if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere - it's up to you... you know the rest.
San Diego
 San Diego has a reputation as a socially conservative, military town. But look a little closer and you'll find gay people everywhere (many military or retired), out in the open, holding hands in almost every neighborhood. The crowd here is diverse, skews slightly younger and is warm and friendly (300 days of sunshine can make one that way). To navigate San Diego, you'll need a car (and a designated driver) as the hot spots aren't really in walking distance of each other, but there are clusters of the bars and clubs in Hillcrest, University Heights and North Park.
