PHOTOS: Liberace, Strippers, and Everyone Else at Vegas Pride

It was a fitting time for Las Vegas Pride this weekend, on the eve of a federal court challenge to Nevada's marriage equality ban. Fingers were crossed and pants were off at the parade on Saturday night, which wended its way through downtown Vegas (see our Instagram pics below and on the next pages). The area was teeming with infectious energy and plenty of confused, but friendly, straight tourists wandering off from Fremont and Fourth Streets. The Pride celebration continued the next day in downtown, and parties took place at nightclubs, like Liaison, and pool bashes like Temptation Sundays. Other LGBT parties, like Gay Days Vegas and Shedonism, also touched down in Sin City this weekend.
