Are there any nude beaches near Las Vegas?
Las Vegas had a nude gay beach at Lake Mead. It was popular on summertime weekends. The water level at Lake Mead is currently 80 feet below 1998 levels.

The beach is no longer very popular with the gay community these days. We highly recommend alternate activities. Directions are: Head east on Lake Mead Blvd. out of North Las Vegas, continue past Hollywood Blvd. and wind through the desert several miles to the stop sign. Turn left and head north toward Overton and Calville Bay. 4.8 miles later (clock it or get lost) turn right onto 8.0 Road. Veer left at every fork in the road.
