If you’ve ever wandered through Las Vegas’ Antique Alley and found yourself mesmerized by a mix of atomic-age glam, kitschy collectibles, and mid-century modern treasures, chances are you’ve stepped into the world of Chris Cope. A self-proclaimed maximalist, artist, entertainer, and serial entrepreneur, Chris is the heartbeat behind Mid Mod Casa, Mid Mod Crisis, and Party Fowl Antiques.
The world is especially challenging in 2025, and Las Vegas PRIDE will always support progress, share our struggles, and celebrate our successes as an LGBTQIA+ community. PRIDE is about progress, and while it may look like a party, we also do key work in being a center-point for our shared voice and key improvements to the overall success and acceptance of diversity, equity, and inclusion for all.
Join us in celebrating with PRIDE at our official events! All the festivities listed on this page are part of the recognized and sanctioned PRIDE Events being held during PRIDE Month—carefully planned to ensure a safe, inclusive, and unforgettable experience for everyone.

In a world craving bold new heroes, Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero struts onto the scene in six-inch heels, glitter blazing, and heart fully exposed. Premiering on TVOD platforms June 17, this vibrant animated musical fantasy is more than just a groundbreaking celebration of drag—it’s a love letter to queer resilience, chosen family, and the power of personal transformation.
As spring turns to summer, the cosmic energy encourages us to blossom—loudly, proudly, and unapologetically. May and June bring the glittery vibes of self-celebration, deeper connections, and transformative truths. It’s a powerful season for embracing your queer identity in all its fluid, brilliant forms.
The second annual Las Vegas PRIDE Bar Hop was a tremendous success! Over seventy-five participants joined Las Vegas PRIDE on April 5, for the only local queer bar crawl in Southern Nevada! With a quick survey of the rowdy bunch, at least 50% of our guests were first-time virgins at a bar crawl with Las Vegas PRIDE.
Located at the edge of Chinatown and just around the corner from Area 15, Las Vegas Mannequins is just as mysterious as any local curiosity shop. Running about a block along the beginning of West Desert Inn, with its massive colorful façade and two or three dark three-dimensional figures climbing up the outer wall, we find Las Vegas Mannequins.
Amidst numerous attacks on trans individuals like me who simply want to live our lives as our true selves, the latest battle of the constant culture wars has focused on our ability to participate in sports. While we make up a small portion of the general population and an even smaller portion of professional athletes, policymakers, legislators, and anti-LGBTQ+ activist groups are campaigning to erase our existence in sports.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG and GONE! It lasted 2 days, and now we sweat with the onset of summer, just days after the Easter Bunny popped his carrot! Well, at least something is popping up between the lilies and the bushes! You cannot imagine the emails that I have been receiving! Last month, I even received an email from the STATE PRISON. He wanted my recipe for cherry pie……ALLEGEDLY. “TIME FOR T!”
As we travel back into Nye County for 2025, we will celebrate five amazing years of Pahrump PROUD! Originally the brainchild of Jim McCoy, immediate friends Craig Bohannon and James Davis jumped in to make the event one of the first annual National Pride month (June) celebrations in Pahrump Valley. This year, in conjunction with the Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, Inc., Pahrump PROUD will become Pahrump PRIDE.
