I LOVED the Blue Moon. From the moment I checked in to the minute I checked out, I was treated fantastically by the extremely friendly and welcoming staff, AND by the extremely friendly and welcoming men ;). I arrived quite a while before check in time, and the staff happily kept my bags behind the counter while they made sure the room was ready, and invited me to sit by the pool. This I did, stripping off my clothes (clothes are SO tiresome!) and joining the gentlemen sunning themselves.
The patrons were a slightly older crowd (at 28 I was frequently the youngest at the pool), which suits me just FINE. I want to be the young hot one sometimes! Everyone was extremely friendly, happy to chat about their visit to Vegas (or their work, if they are locals - and many locals visit on a day pass). I very quickly made new friends and was having an awesome time with them, in and out of my room.
The pool area isn't huge, but it's private and well laid-out, with plenty of places to sunbathe and lots of naked guys! The hot tub, in a little grotto beneath a waterfall, was the prime location to get to know the other guests more intimately, and was the scene of epic debauchery on Saturday evening that would make any bathhouse proud. The free BBQ on Sunday was also a highlight, with good free food, plenty of handsome gentlemen, and lots of playing around.
I can't say how great the staff were - they were uniformly friendly, positive, flattering, and delightful. I ended up going to see a movie with two of the folks on the front desk because I had such a fantastic time chatting with them during my stay - now THAT'S service ;).
The location is a little out of the way, and cab fares to the strip tended to add up a little, but this is a small price to pay for a relaxing, exciting, and joyous time. After the extreme straightness of the Strip, it was wonderful to be in a truly gay space for a few days and let all my inhibitions drop.
I'm going back in October, and I can't WAIT.
