World Aids Museum:

The World AIDS Museum idea grew out of the Fort Lauderdale based group “Pozitive Attitudes”, a topic driven support group for HIV positive individuals. Steve Stagon, the facilitator, who would later become the Museum’s founder, started creating historical HIV / AIDS exhibits as topics for the group. The idea of a museum grew from there. In 2011, the Museum was incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.

ELECTRIFY Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa has always been an LGBTQ-friendly resort. But in 2015, the world-class resort destination is extending the red carpet even further. Why? Simple: Because we believe you deserve the best of the best. Check in at one of 2,800 hotel rooms for stunning ocean views and be prepared to kick back at one of six sensual pools and wrap a hand around one of our icy, sumptuous cocktails. Evening beckons with the promise of culinary delights. Five signature restaurants inside the resort–from celebrated culinary masters like Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck– mean you won’t ever be more than just a few steps from a five-star meal. Two world-class spas enable you to relax after a four-handed massage, swim 40 stories high overlooking the panoramic ocean view or get in that quick exercise to stimulate the evening. And four signature nightlife experiences with two world-class entertainment venues mean that nights are bright and playful. In 2015, the Borgata welcomes some world-class acts: Kathy Griffin and Idina Menzel. So what are you waiting for? We’ve got the best, and we’re waiting to share it with you.
