Badlands Saloon is not just a country bar and it's not just a gay bar but a friendly towny bar in the commercial center on Sahara near the Strat. Great place to hang out, straight or gay, great happy hour and they don't always play country music folks. They have a jukebox with a great variety of music or the bartender will have on good bar music (I mostly have heard motown/R&B). The bartenders are friendly and pour really well. They have entertainment on some nights - I do know they do female impersonators late Friday nights. Since we live nearby, we stop by pretty often and have met some great people, some locals and some just stopping by. And they do take credit cards now. They have a pool table and a dance floor too. The only drawback is it is very smoky at times.
