Las Vegas is one of our favorite spring LGBTQ vacation hot spots, and for good reason. Besides offering mouthwatering buffets, world-class accommodations and endless nightlife that makes the city a spectacular haven for anyone, Vegas has really outdone itself in 2018 by lining up concerts from incredible LGBTQ icons we all know and love.
