Travel: Gossip in Las Vegas

GOSSIP, the Pool at Rumor Boutique Hotel in Las Vegas is the perfect spot for relaxed lounging or enjoying the sparkling pool.  Beginning on May 1st, the pool party scene is about to be transformed, and Gossip will be the site for premier LGBT promoter Eduardo Cordova’s newest Sunday creation, Sunkissed Pool Party & Brunch
 
Teaming up with The Siegel Group, Cordova has created the ultimate Sunday event - a pool party that begins with brunch at Addiction and then moves to Rumor’s unparalleled pool area featuring cabanas and hammocks positioned amongst the hotel’s swaying palms.  Each Sunday will be jam-packed with grooves from resident DJ Roger Gangi and bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s served all day long; the result--a relaxed scene that cannot be found at any other Las Vegas resort. 
 
With a Miami meets LA meets Palm Springs vibe that is still distinctly Vegas, Sunkissed at Gossip gives the Las Vegas gay community a new place to call home each Sunday.  “Rumor is the perfect setting for Sunkissed because it is more intimate and private than the big casinos,” explains Cordova.  “At Gossip, we have the whole pool area instead of being sectioned off somewhere; we are going to enjoy every inch of Rumor’s amazing outdoor pool area and courtyard.  I have no doubt that Sunkissed at Gossip will be the new place to see and be seen. Additionally, we are partnering with some really special LGBT non-profit organizations so that we can give back to the community every week.”
 
Addiction, Rumor’s intimate and eclectic restaurant will also be a highlight of the day, beginning with a Sunday Brunch that will either cure the party from the night before or get the Sunday party going!  Featuring multiple all-you-can-eat brunch stations for just $35, the selections include: Old School Breakfast featuring Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage and Potatoes; Omelet Fire Station with made-to-order creations adding in the freshest meats and vegetables, as well as the Addiction Station with Cinnamon Roll French Toast, Silver Dollar Butterfinger Marscapone Pancakes and an old-fashion Waffle.  Add to that, a drink menu which is equally as tantalizing and features one-of-a-kind cocktails such as Tipsy Tea and the Rumor Mill Daiquiri, and the 150 room, all-suite boutique hotel will most certainly set the standard for gay (or straight) pool parties.  
 
“We are excited to have Eduardo bring Sunkissed to Gossip, the Pool at Rumor,” notes Michael Crandall, director of business affairs for The Siegel Group. “There is really no other pool area like this in Las Vegas.  There might be bigger ones or fancier ones, but none have the unique, casual and sexy feel of this pool.  It’s intimate, but definitely big enough to welcome a big day of partying.” 
 
In addition to Sunkissed Sundays, Gossip at Rumor has just launched a weekly calendar that gives locals and visitors the best options for enjoying the summer heat.  At Gossip, guests can hide-out in a seductive private cabana or be seen sunning on a poolside chaise with a cocktail from the bar. By day the sun and sparkling water soothe and energize just steps from a Rumor suite. By night, it transforms into a happening hideaway with DJ's spinning under the stars.
