Brunch is fantastic.
Breakfast foods at a reasonable hour plus drinks? It shouldn’t need any add-ons.
Yet the drag brunch brings the party — along with a touch of nighttime to the daytime — in such a way that it’s become a Las Vegas institution.
Here’s where you can find them:
Faaabulous! — The Ultimate Drag Brunch Show
The Venue at Masquerade Village in the Rio
Led by Edie, who had a 13-year-run in “Zumanity,” where she performed as the emcee, “Faaabulous!” bills itself as the city’s “only all-live singing drag brunch experience.” The 70-minute show comes with brunch, bottomless mimosas and a meet-and-greet. See it at 11:30 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets start at $74.98; faaabulous.com.

Viva Drag Brunch Vegas
