Key West turns up the heat

Island_House_Servers.jpgKey West gets a little hotter Aug. 15 through 18 when the Key West Business Guild, one of the oldest LGBT chamber organizations in the U.S., presents “Tropical Heat.”

Tropical Heat offers four days of fever-pitch revelry in the island city of Key West, whose openness and respect for diversity have made it a top LGBT vacation destination. This all-male event includes intriguingly decadent clothing-optional pool parties, sailing trips, drag shows and bar crawls. Many of the events will be attended by well-known male adult film stars.  

Events are individually priced, but a VIP pass is also avaiable for $120 ($185 value). Each VIP pass holder gets a free Tropical Heat T-shirt, while supplies last. In addition, American Airlines offers a special 5 percent discount for flights to Key West. Enter promotional code 5683BN when booking online at www.aa.com.  

A complete schedule of events, as well as travel-planning information, is available online at tropicalheatkw.com or by calling the Key West Business Guild at 305-294-4603.
