Out in Las Vegas, looking for help

[kalidonovan]

Hi,

I will be taking a trip to Cali and will be staying in LV along the way. I really want to go out dressed. I will be staying at the MGM and wanted to know what you gurls thought about where i should go for an hour or two. Basically my wife and kid will be staying at the hotel while i go out dressed. I don't get allot of opportunities to do this in Utah.

Anyways, all im looking to do is walk around and go into a club or bar for a bit to see if i can handle it, heh.

Any suggestions as to where i should go and if i will be able to slip out of the MGM easily?

Thanks for any response you may have.

Hi Kali,

I don't think you'll any problems with Vegas as a whole. I've been there many times always in drab though, and have seen a few tg girls wandering around no one gives them a second look. You should make a point to go to the Riviera and take in La Cage. It's a great show. The other thing you could do is go shopping at shops in the one of the casino's on the strip. Just go have fun don't worry about everyone else. Just remember, " What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas".

Huggs, Renee

Kali, you should be able to go just about anywhere a lady would go. The picture in my avatar is in front of one of the Christmas trees at the MGM. If you want to explore a bit, the monorail has a station right there at the hotel and runs north all the way to the Sahara with stops at Ballys/Paris, Flamingo/Imperial Palace, Hilton, and a few others. These will put you within walking distance of all the major casinos on the strip (hint-wear comfortable shoes ). If you go out in the evening, at Ballys they have a great band in the lounge off the main casino, wonderful for dancing. I hope you have a great time!

[kalidonovan]

Ah, great. Thanks Gurls!..

Looking at the weather, I hope its not to cold that night.... Burrr 45 is cold,, but oh well.

HI Kali:

When will you be visiting? If you really want to go out en Femme I will be happy to help. Our Tri-Ess chapter goes out every Monday night for dinner and you are welcome to join us. If your wife wishes to come that's fine also. We meet once a month for our regular meeting in a hotel not far from the MGM. If you would like to come to a meeting that can be arranged also.
If you just want to go out by yourself I can suggest a few places. You may want to check this link which is the " bible " on where to go and what to do here in Vegas.

The MGM has a TG friendly policy. I am positive that you will have no problem from the staff. The rest depends on your comfort level when in femme and walking through the casino. It is a rather long walk from the rooms to the parking garage.

Have a great trip and I hope that your wishes are fulfilled.

Go? Holy smokes why go anywhere else?! Your at the MGM - that's about as good as it gets! Go to the Casino and give 'em your money. Go see a show! Go where ever you want - they have seen it all, and believe me, there is nothing you could possibly do short of pulling out a fire arm and shooting the place up that would shock them there. In fact, I'm not entirely sure you would get their attention with firearm! LOL

[kalidonovan]

Haha, Kim your funny!, I LOLed

[kalidonovan]

Nora, Thanks for the invite.

As far as what days I will be there its just going to be Saturday night, the 3rd i think.

I looked over that Doc you linked. Thanks!

Where do you think I should go, if my goal was to hang out with other TG/TV/CDs? to be honest thats where i feel comfortable i think.

Thanks

Kali, you need to visit Glamour Boutique if you are in Vegas during the day, They will treat you like you belong, it is very crossdresser friendly, Amy who owns the store caters to the crossdressing community, she is awesome.
I go to Vegas alot and am always enfemme, you can go anywhere enfemme there.


ps. what part of Uah are you from, I am out enfemme alot when I am in Salt Lake, Provo, Price, payson, Salina, Cedar city, and St George.

I can vouch that the LV Gun Store is trans friendly? The shooting glasses and ear protectors don't do much for the glamour, though..

[balletchick]

Krave nightclub outside Planet Hollywood, it caters to gay and lesbian as well as cd's and transgender. Glamour Boutique us awesome.

Provo, but would rather go out, if dressed in th SLC area.

HI Kali:

Unfortunately, I will be out of town next week. I would have loved to meet you and show you around. Vivian has an excellent suggestion. Go to the Glamour Boutique and see Amy. Amy often has outings on Saturday nights where she goes to dinner with several in the community. If she has something planned for that night I am certain that you are welcome to join them. If not she can advise you if something is going on. Tell her I suggested you go there and ask her.

We have had three or four places but all have closed in the past two years.
The best chance to meet others on a saturday night is Freezone. Freezone is a gay and lesbian bar that many go to. There have been several "bathroom " incidents there in which we were told to use the mens room. Because of this it is not 100% recomended.

It is always best to be with others and I hope that we will have something like that soon.

I hope that you have a great time and if you return let me know.

Hi Kali,

Every June I go there and I meet up with Nora and the girls for their evening meeting at a restaurant. But for more details, I have posted my last three days in Vegas on my blog at Myspace if you want to read what I wrote.....but I had a blast!

Vegas will take care of you, no matter how you are dressed. Go enfemm - stay enfemm - have fun.
Love,
JoAnne Wheeler

HI Kali:

If you still want to go out on Saturday maybe I can help. I spoke to some of the members from our Tri-Ess chapters about your request and they may be able to meet you and go out. Send me a private message with your answer . Include an address for me to get back to you.
Please get back to me quickly as I am leaving town Wednesday night.

Nora

[kalidonovan]

I don't think I can PM you. How do I do that Nora? Do i need to be a paying member?

[Holly]

Kali, you can't access the PM function of the forum (or several other features) until you have made 10 posts. See the forum Rules/FAQ for a lot of good information. I am going to be in Las Vegas Friday (1/9) for the Grand Re-opening of Just You/Glamour Boutique in their new location. They are in the same building but have moved to a more convenient location downstairs and have twice the space they had before. Stop by and chat!

[kalidonovan]

ic, thanks

I will have to work towards that.

There's always Frank Marino's La Cage show at the Riviera.

Plenty of TG gals have taken in the show and Frank loves to talk, give autographs and take pictures with audience members afterwards.

I went dressed with a few gals and he commented how we could stand to put on women's clothes, make up and heels voluntarily. He jokingly said it's a pain to get made up and can't wait to take off the tight gowns and fake boobs.

Paris also has a great GLBT policy and has advertised in the GLBT community. They were very welcoming to our group at the buffet during Diva Las Vegas, and lead us right pass the line up to our tables.

Kali, you need to visit Glamour Boutique if you are in Vegas during the day, They will treat you like you belong, it is very crossdresser friendly,.......

I don't know anything about the LV GB store, but I've been to the East Coast GB store several times and I love it. Very helpful, good advice and reasonable prices.

I keep telling my wife that we ought to go to LV again (Went once about 25 years ago). Looking forward to hearing all about your trip.

[Tracii G]

MGM Grand is where I stay in LV.Nice place I see no trouble going anywhere derssed in Vegas go for it.
I use to plan my trips around the annual machine gun shoot.
Never been dressed at a shoot may do that here in Ky next time great idea huh?

[Nora]

HI Kali:
Sorry I was away when you visited. Please let me know when you return and I hope at that time we can meet and you can join us when we go out.
Havea great New Years.
