Sin City’s newest LGBTQ nightclub is packed to the rafters with hunks…
UPDATE – This nightclub has officially closed as of October 2019
Gerry, Adam, Nick and Brad…
When Iconic Nightclub opened its doors this summer, super-hot owner Adam Simmons promised a unique experience with great drinks, superior service and innovative entertainment, all at reasonable prices. Luckily, his well-trained staff is stunning to look at, too. There are dozens of hot ladies and gentlemen at Iconic to cater to your needs, from muscular security guards to sensual go-go dancers.
Since this column is called Hot Guys of Vegas, the lovely Iconic ladies will have to sit this one out (sorry, girls). But for those of you looking to add a little beefcake to your weekend diet, here are five of my favorite all-meat selections:
NICK HUSIN – VIP Server
Stunning Nick came to the United States at the age of 18 to pursue an engineering scholarship. Born and raised on Borneo Island, he shares a hometown and handsome looks with Crazy Rich Asians actor Henry Golding. What they don’t share is Nick’s stunning physique, which is on ample display at Iconic Nightclub.
It’s okay to stare at Husin’s amazing chest and abs….he doesn’t mind one bit. It’s fair to say that he’s earned those admiring gazes with countless hours in the gym. He also follows a strict diet that sometimes includes a weakness for luscious cheesecake.
This exotic-looking stud holds the distinction of winning Mr. Muscle Beach men’s physique competition in Venice, California. Don’t you wish you could be a medal around his neck…or a trophy at his feet?
During the daylight hours, Nick flexes his intellectual muscles as a project manager for a software company. When not glued to the keyboard, he’s out in the sunshine with his four-legged pal Skippy, enjoying the rough terrain around the Las Vegas valley.

Noteworthy traits – flawless skin, sly smile, ability to rip shirts off with ease
Gerry Haro – bar manager/lead bartender
A smoothly-run bar operation is essential to the success of any nightclub. For guests at Iconic, the responsibility of beverage services falls on the broad shoulders of handsome Gerry Haro. This pinup-worthy pretty-boy is well known to the LGBTQ community and a veritable legend in Vegas gay nightlife.
It’s tough for a young man to make a name for himself in a city of this magnitude, especially hard when you grew up in a tiny central California town named Farmersville. But even at a young age, Gerry had the charisma, wisdom and looks to turn everything he attempted into gold.
With a face and body this striking, Gerry is a natural in front of the camera lens. Could a modeling career be around the corner? Only photographer Noel Dahl (whom I wrote about here) knows for sure.
Gerry’s love for the bar atmosphere also fills his days at Palace Station Casino, where he provides cool beverages for pool guests. That must be how he maintains such a nice, even tan. His shirtless shifts at Iconic allow him ample opportunity to display a firm torso enhanced with body art.
Speaking of art, Gerry’s got a secret talent that he’s eager to get back into. It’s called “Fire Poi” – a performance art with roots in Māori culture. Combining the swinging of tethered weights with music, dance and the element of fire, this is one unique talent that no doubt raises temperatures…especially when performed by a hottie of this magnitude.
In his free time Gerry’s a bit of a homebody, taking in the occasional movie. His constant companions are a trio of gorgeous canines that form the heart and soul of his home. Can you say “Hot Dog Daddy” three times fast? If not, try “Hot Cookie”.

Noteworthy traits – gentle soul, rockin’ porn ‘stache
Brad Benson – bartender
In every crowd of smooth pretty-boys, there’s that one burly lumberjack who commands attention without saying a word. Iconic’s “Paul Bunyan” title goes to bartender Brad Benson, a gentle giant of a man.
Chiseled, furry and rippling with brawn, the L.A. native cuts a striking figure whenever he’s positioned at the front door. You can’t miss Brad when he’s behind the bar, either. You’ll see him upstairs at the second-level AVANT Cocktail Lounge or alongside the main dance floor/performance space, serving libations with a gentle smile and a sexy grind of the hips.
Being that Brad’s the strong silent type, it was tough to get very much info out of him. I do know that he’s a personal trainer (no surprise) who’s into weight lifting. What’s surprising is that he’s also a fine artist who works on large-scale abstract paintings.
Brad’s other large-scale work of art is his physique, which he proudly shares on his Instagram page. It won’t give you many clues into his personal life, but it certainly uncovers plenty of skin.
Thank goodness Iconic compiled this video of Brad, otherwise his lighthearted antics might remain a complete mystery to the people of Las Vegas:
Noteworthy traits – deep voice, deeper ab cuts
Adam Simmons – business owner/manager
Not many nightclub owners are also card-carrying members of the title of “Sexiest Man Alive”. But DNA Magazine included Iconic founder Adam Simmons in their 2019 salute to club owners due to his stunning hotness.
Adam is the ultimate extrovert, sharing his radiant smile and positive attitude with everyone he encounters. His entertainment background on Broadway fuels his desire to make Iconic a haven for acceptance, enjoyment and sexy thrills:
We built ICONIC in part to support the community. Come meet the sexiest, friendliest nightclub staff in all of Vegas! We love to meet new friends and party the night away! ICONIC brings you the best parties all weekend long…consistently great music, atmosphere, phenomenal shows and affordable delicious drinks! Come make some memories, hang with your friends, and enjoy the ride.
Adam jokes that he gets teased a lot for always being shirtless, but if you had this kind of body, would you want to cover it up? “Yes… that is indeed me…. My shirt collection is lacking!” says the California native.
You’ll often find Adam strolling through Iconic, making sure everything is running smoothly and all are having a great time. You’ll even spot him on the dance floor with his supportive and equally-hot husband Jason Jones. The two make a dynamic pair…and want you to be a part of the dusk-til-dawn fun at Iconic Nightclub.
