Lesbians descended on Las Vegas from Wednesday to Sunday for Girl Bar Dinah Shore Weekend, a lesbian getaway event for couples and single lesbians. Tens of thousands of lesbians made it to the city for the event, which includes dancing, gaming lessons and a pool party. The event, now in its 22nd year, has made Sin City its new home. Halfway through the weekend, overflow attendance across Strip properties led producers to announce the Dinah Shore Weekend return for April 25-29, 2013. (Photos courtesy of Lobeline Communications)
