WELCOME BACK to the WILDSIDE! As the Grateful Dead said; "What a long,
strange trip it's been". In early March 2020, WildSide was on top of
the world. We were on pace to shatter all attendance records as we
prepared to welcome over 350 members of the VWS Family back home to
Bally's for our 14th Annual Sin City Soirée. Then the world turned
upside down and the unthinkable happened. Vegas SHUT DOWN and for the
first time since 2007, there was no Sin City Soirée.
Devastated doesn't describe what we were feeling. It became as much a
ritual as the sun rising for us to gather in May and celebrate our
wonderful VWS Family; and now that was GONE in the blink of an eye. We
did what we could and presented a week of Virtual VWS in May of 2020
but we all know there is no substitute for being with community and
swirling in that VWS Vibe. But as is often the case with time and
WildSide, it was not on our side. As we began to plan for what 2021
might look like, we realized that after studying the situation for
months that there were just too many unknowns in the moment for us to
feel good about safely bringing yall back to Vegas. Although, the idea
of having to cancel the Soirée two consecutive years was just too
much for us to stand.
So that leads us to today. As things seem to be opening back up; we
are hopeful that we can all return to some semblance of normalcy. Were
not trying to offend or step on toes but in speaking with our hotel
liaisons, we saw an opportunity to save the Soirée in 2021 by doing
something SAFELY at Halloween and we took it. So for the first time
ever, WildSides Sin City Soirée will take place in the fall,
happening on Monday, October 25 - Monday, November 1.
Unbeknownst to us, the group Diva Las Vegas had similar ideas and
planned their event during that exact same block of time. WildSide and
Diva Las Vegas have a long and storied history, so in the interest of
community, we thought we would reach out and see if there were ways to
collaborate. So you will notice some opportunities on our itinerary
where well be cross-promoting DLV events.
While this time in our history has been unprecedented and we are all
navigating new waters, we want you to know that WildSide will always
remain the same community-building, friend-making social celebration
of visibility for our community that weve always been. Were not sure
what to expect in 2021 but one thing that will NEVER change is our
commitment in presenting YOU with the opportunity to experience that
special one and only WildSide love and support that we've all fed off
of since day one. Come RE-connect with friends and like-minded people
from all over to celebrate those life-long VWS bonds; and this year
more than ever; those bonds are going to be amplified and electrified!
Our Soirée is and always has been an empowerment party like no other.
Because it's not only about connecting with amazing people, it's about
connecting with YOU! Our lil Soirée is a non-judgmental, welcoming
space for our trans and gender-expansive community. And YES our
reputation as a big, loud, gorgeous, gregarious party remains 1,000%
TRUE!
WildSide is proud to once again call Bally's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
the official home of the Sin City Soirée. As we navigate these
interesting times, we'd like to thank Caesars Entertainment for their
continued support. Bally's works directly with us to give you some
financial flexibility by providing each guest with a special WildSide
group hotel rate. Stay and play with us at Bally's; conveniently
located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip with easy access to Paris,
the Bellagio Fountains, Caesars Forum, the Cosmo, the Miracle Mile and
much more! Folks that come to the event and stay off-site often
regret having make constant trips to our hotel because that is where
much of the action is, so save yourself the headaches of all that
extra time, travel and money and stay with us at Ballys.
