When "Gay Friendly" isn't enough, stay in our “Straight Friendly” space!
Bent Inn, is a 33-room boutique hotel. Creatively twisted — and definitely different — Bent Inn & Pub is the first adults-only gay/locally owned & operated boutique hotel & gastropub in resurgent downtown Las Vegas.
Located East off the beaten Strip, & steps from the Fremont Street Experience, Bent Inn is the ideal destination for the queer community & their allies who want to get into the local adult LGBTQ+ scene or immerse themselves in a visually audacious environment.
Bent Inn was developed by parent company, Escape Resorts, Inc., which is owned & operated by longtime hoteliers Mark Hunter and Greg Kafka. The partners, previously owned and operated two well-known gay men's resorts, Escape Resort & Desert Paradise, in Palm Springs, CA.
“Everyone needs a place where they are free to be themselves. And that’s Bent Inn,” says Kafka, who serves as Bent Inn’s chief experience officer. “Although "straight friendly," our goal is to set the travel standard for what we call the Bent Community (the not-so-straight, nerdy cool, khakis-by-day -leather-by-night, pink hair, crew cut, black nail polish, no nail polish, nose ring, hairy, smooth, fem, masc, butch, he, she, they, them, Jack and Coke, dirty martini, daiquiri, top, btm, vers, side, switch). It’s for those of us that make life interesting.”
“We have hired exceptional staff who help Bent Inn be a playfully welcoming place where unforgettable experiences and connections are formed” notes Mark Hunter. “Community is very important to us, & we have been fortunate to be able to cultivate that at our resorts.”

The hotel was originally developed as a small hotel in 1965 called the Moonlight Motel. The property has been entirely reimagined with a “mid-century meets industrial architecture style” & artistic features throughout vary from wall murals to posters of gay pulp fiction inspired by the ‘50’s-’60’s & offering an attitude of flamboyant mischievousness.
