This concurrent resolution recognizes the Fruit Loop, an area in Las Vegas where East Naples Drive meets South Paradise Road and South University Center Drive, as a historical LGBTQ+ landmark. The resolution highlights the significance of this location, which has served the LGBTQ+ community since the 1950s as a hub for businesses, entertainment venues, and gathering spaces that have supported activism, community-building, pride events, and fundraising. By formally acknowledging the Fruit Loop, the Nevada Legislature aims to encourage preservation of its legacy and promote LGBTQ+ history in the state. The resolution also calls on the Department of Transportation to install directional signs to the location and urges the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to produce materials about the Fruit Loop's cultural and historical significance for inclusion in maps and marketing materials. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing such landmarks to better understand the struggles, resilience, and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community, and underscores the vital role diverse communities have played in Nevada's social, cultural, economic, and political landscape.
