BiggerVegas

Head to Las Vegas for BiggerVegas, a six-day gathering for gay men of size and their admirers, running June 16 to 21, 2027, at the Tuscany Suites & Casino. Produced by BiggerEvents, the organization behind BiggerCity, the event brings together the Chubs, Chasers, and Bears of the community for a week built around body positivity, connection, and a full slate of programming.

What to expect

A single event pass covers nearly everything, including a Welcome Party at Piranha Nightclub, pool parties running Thursday through Sunday, an open-bar lounge with more than 50 hours of access across the week, social mixers, and program activities like bingo, trivia, karaoke, and a game room. Attendees must be at least 21. There are no day passes, since the multi-day format is built around giving everyone time to actually connect rather than just show up for a single night.

History and legacy

BiggerVegas began in 2009 and has returned every two to three years since, with 2027 marking its 8th edition. It's grown into one of the largest social gatherings in the world built specifically around the gay Chub and Bear community, run by a primarily volunteer organization dedicated to bringing that community together in person.

Getting there and staying

All 716 rooms at the Tuscany Suites & Casino are reserved exclusively for BiggerVegas attendees during the event, with rates starting at $99 a night Sunday through Thursday and $215 Friday and Saturday, plus a required minimum three-night stay that includes a weekend night. Staying at the host hotel isn't required but is strongly recommended, since nearly all activities happen there and rooms sell out early.

Plan your trip

Event passes and hotel rooms both go fast, with presale access available first to BiggerCity Premium members before general sale opens. Booking early matters more here than for most events on this list, both for securing a pass before they sell out and for landing a room in one of the buildings closest to the pool and main event spaces.
