And it doesn’t just end there, because you will find spa, shopping, dining and drink specials at some of the Strip’s hottest destinations. “We have combined the best of Las Vegas daylife, nightlife, dining, entertainment
and LGBT-focused events to create the ultimate four-day bash, so guests can get the most out of their stay without the hassle of coordinating an itinerary,” said Scott Voeller, Vice President of Brand Strategy and Advertising for MGM Resorts International. “Our resorts are looking forward to once again celebrate this spectacular weekend with our fabulous friends.” The fun-filled weekend begins with the Fabulous Kickoff Party hosted by Sherry
