Whether traveling as a couple or looking for a singles scene, Palm Springs offers a splashy summer scene.
A wide range of stay options include men’s resorts, welcoming hotels, and romantic boutique retreats. In fact, there are more gay resorts in Palm Springs than anywhere in the world.
Nightlife abounds in both Uptown and downtown, with a concentration of nightclubs on centrally located Arenas Road. See six drag and female impersonator shows, from Sunday brunch to a rat-pack inspired supper club. Catch a show at the Copa Nightclub, just next door to the popular gay-owned restaurant Tropicale. Or win at Fabulous Bingo at the Ace Hotel every Monday.

Show off your best costume at the huge block party on Arenas every Halloween then stay for the eye-popping Greater Palm Springs Pride that follows in early November.
