We get a lot of requests at Gay Vegas. Where’s a gay friendly internet cafe? What gay bar should I go to tonight? Are there any male strip clubs? Where can I get a high quality wig? Do you have any dining recommendations? Where’s the best place to gamble? Who has the hottest go-go boys? Do you know the VIP host for that club? What show should we see tonight?

On January 15th, we were asked a question we had never been asked before.

Arturo, a concierge representative at the Four Season’s had a lesbian couple, who were to be married that weekend, looking for a same sex wedding cake topper for their cake.

A detail they thought would be simple since gay marriage was legalized in Nevada on October 9th. Arturo contacted Gay Vegas regarding the request and we began the search for same sex wedding cake toppers.

We contacted everyone, from Freed’s Bakery, Davids Bridal, Las Vegas Custom Cakes and even the gay owned Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel and there was no sign of same sex wedding cake toppers anywhere. We were frequently directed to buying the same sex wedding cake item online.

Unfortunately, the Four Seasons brides-to-be did not have time for that option. Finally, we contacted Pastry Palace and spoke to Jessica Overton who assured us that while they did not have a joined same sex wedding cake topper, she had enough of a variety of singular wedding cake topper brides to allow her to put something fabulous together. A problem solved for the happy guests, but a question left to ask. Where are all the same
sex wedding cake toppers in Las Vegas?

Its been just a few months since marriage equality has come to Nevada and an LGBT economy boost in Las Vegas is certain. In New York, a study by the New York City Clerk’s office and NYC & Company, the city’s tourism and marketing organization, found that spending on same sex marriages purchases — boosted the economy by $259 million in the first year after they were legalized by New York State in 2011. You would assume that finding same sex toppers in Las Vegas, the marriage capital of the world, would be a breeze. *note to self: start selling same sex wedding cake toppers.
