The first thing a visitor to the Bent Inn might notice is the mid-century inspired look with a twist — most evident in the titles on pulp fiction murals with fake book titles like “Locker Room Lovers” and “Killer in Drag.”
“We had them created to mimic the original look and feel,” co-owner Mark Hunter said. “We couldn’t find the rights so they created them uniquely.”
Uniqueness is part of the goal. Bent Inn, a 33-room non-gaming hotel, opened Thursday as the first adults-only, gay and locally owned and operated boutique spot in downtown Las Vegas. The location is pitching itself as the ideal destination for the queer community and allies.
