Week of September 17

Whether you’re a local or tourist, we always feature our favorite spots along with all the new and exciting things our city has to offer.

This week’s QVegas leans into what we do best: heart, sparkle, and a wink of Western swagger. From the moment you see the cover, you’ll know we’re dressing up for community—because style is more fun when it means something. Consider this your pocket-sized pep talk to text the group chat, plan a look, and say yes to a night that does real good.

We’re saddling up for AFAN’s 39th Annual Black & White Party on Saturday, Sept. 20 at KAOS—and the vibe is playful, polished, and purpose-driven. Picture a monochrome rodeo: pearl snaps, rhinestones, big hats, bigger hair. Hosted by Fredric Godinez and Alexander Stabler, the night mixes show-stopping performances with the reason we gather: to support AFAN’s year-round services—housing assistance, transportation, testing, case management—and to amplify the message that Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U). If you’ve ever danced at a fundraiser and felt like you were part of something bigger, this is your night. Dress to thrill, bring your people, and make a memory that pays it forward.
