Well, I've finally recovered from the big ol Vegas trip, so I figured I'd give you guys a rundown of how things went. (this is a pretty detailed rundown, so if you get bored, just skip to the pictures)

The first night there, we checked out a gay bar called The Buffalo . It was a pretty standard little bar, with what I'd call "regular guys". Pretty low key, though we were there kind of early. My Offical Gay Guide to the USA told me about a gay bar in Vegas called Ozz , which had completely nude strippers (!!!) I asked the friendly neighborhood bar tender at the Buffalo about Ozz, only to find out it closed down a few years go. Curses! My quest for strippers hit it's first real snag in vegas...

Realizing my gay guide was woefully out of date, the next day I picked up a copy of the Las Vegas Bugle , a biweekly gay magazine. I quickly found an ad for the Gypsy which said that Chi Chi LaRue was going to be in town for a one night show with 3 of her hunky young studs! Cool! Oh, but wait, the show was last night . Damn my luck. So, the quest for strippers continued...

I paged through the Bugle a bit more, and found an ad for FreeZone which promised to have strippers that very night. Damn it, I said, we're goin to the FreeZone. We arrived a little eary, so the strippers weren't there yet, but they were having a "beer bust" special.

That sure sounded like a bargain. So after my shot (and 3 or 4 beers) I look up hazily, and noticed that both of the hunky bartenders had taken their shirts off!

after a few more beers, and about a 1/2 hour of gazing into those massive pecs, i asked the bartender "so are you going to take your pants off, or what?". i was crushed when he just smiled and politely said "no". so then i started grilling him on what type of underwear he wore (boxer briefs), if i could see them (no) and at one point i remember asking him if he shaved his balls (he does).

so by now, i was pretty much trashed, and my boyfriend literally had to drag me out of the bar. on the way out, i noticed that the strippers had shown up, but i was so drunk and confused that they didnt really register until we were 1/2 way back to the hotel.

the next day was the adult expo, so the quest for flesh had to be put on hold for a bit. after waiting in line for about 1/2 hour, we finally get into the show. i had to put on my patented "gay tunnel vision goggles" to pick out the few pictures of naked men among a sea of bouncing boobies.

there were probably only 5 or 6 gay booths at the show, and only 2 had actual gay porn stars. first up, at the oh man! studios booth was marcello reeves , who was there to drum up interest in his new movie glory holes of new york .

Next up was Matt Summers at Chi Chi's booth. This is a terrible picture of him, but people kept getting in my way, so this was the best I could do. (he's in the red tank top)

So after checking out the few gay booths, the only thing left on the agenda was to meet Peter North. The line to Peter was actually pretty short, so it wasn't long before I was up face to face with him. I wanted so desperately to ask him about his gay movies, but chickened out last minute. Oh well. He sure is getting up there in years! Nice guy, though. Technically, I think he's whistling in this picture, but I like to imagine he's doing something else

Finally, these don't really have anything to do with porn, but they were just so darn cute, I had to take a picture.

Later that evening was the the big ADT party. By some miracle, I ran into Steph at the Rivera Food Court, and got the revised room number. It was really great meeting everyone... I was pretty nervous at first, but was able to loosen up eventually and have a great time. I even had the opportunity to have a nice long sitdown discussion with Tricia about gay porn and her male solo film she's been working on!

Unfortunately, we had to leave rather early, since we had to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to make our way to the Grand Canyon. We took a bunch of pics, so here's a sample. This one was on the way there (I don't know where all the fog was coming from, but it got very thick.

The next one is of the Canyon itself.

Yup, it's a big ditch.

It didn't take as long to get out to the Canyon as we thought, so we got back in time to resume our search for strippers. First up was the Icon . Parking was a bit rough, but eventually we found a spot and headed on in. There were no strippers in the bar, but we did see a little hallway that lead off to a dancing room. We'd watch people go in there for a minute then turn around and come back out.

So we decided to check it out. The dancing room was completely empty except for the scrawniest little go-go dancing boy I'd ever seen. He was probably only 125 pounds soaking wet. He definately wasn't our type (and apparently, no one elses) so we headed back to the bar. I got the impression that more strippers might be showing up later, but we since were getting raped on our drinks ($5.50 for a Malibu Coke!!!) we decided to leave and head on to the next fun filled bar.

The Spotlight was having a Jockstrap and Underwear special that night. Wear only a jock or your undies and drink free! Sure, they wouldn't be actual strippers, but I thought for sure there'd be an ample amount of flesh on display. BZZZZZT Wrong-o. The only person who took their clothes off was some 40-ish trucker guy who looked like he weighed around 250, wearing a pair of Hanes String Bikini briefs. Now, I can tell you right now, there aren't alot of men (besides models) who look good in string bikinis. This guy's body was an assault on nature, so even though the beer was cheap, we had to go.

And that was it. It was 1:00 AM sunday morning, and we had to abandon our quest for strippers, since we had to leave for the airport early that morning. Overall I'd say I had a great time. I wish there had been a few more gay studios at the expo, and I wish the ones that were there were a little more friendly, but still, it was alot of fun.
