About us

When we began exploring the idea of opening a Resort & Lounge Bar, we traveled to gay destinations around the world. 

Rather than just looking for flaws, we focused on what each place did right. It quickly became clear that the most successful spots—the ones we truly loved—shared one key trait: a fun, warm, and welcoming atmosphere where guests felt at ease and open to connect. That feeling became our guiding principle. It evolved into our Mission Statement: To set a new standard for the LGBTQ+ traveler experience with Bent—one that is welcoming,

non-judgmental, and celebrates who we are. We hire not only for skill, but for true hospitality of spirit. 

It's been a privilege to contribute to the revitalization of downtown Las Vegas. Originally built in 1965 as the Moonlight Motel and later converted to apartments, we've reimagined the space with a “mid-century meets industrial” vibe. The Lounge Bar was built from scratch, featuring custom art, wall murals of gay pulp fiction-inspired posters from the '50s–'60s. We're proud to say that Bent received the Mayor’s Award for Design.

P.S. We’re deeply grateful for every guest and team member who’s become a friend along the way. We hope you enjoy it here as much as we do. ~ Greg & Mark
