We are dreaming of spending a few days in glamorous Dallas, where we can check into a luxurious hotel, engage in a bit of shopping, perhaps look at some art while shopping, and of course meet a handsome stranger with a sexy Texas twang. Or, we can just order room service and watch Netflix all night while laying in bed. One of these scenarios is more likely than the other.

Speaking of handsome strangers, we have spent far too much time looking at Dallas hotel pics, and we must say there is lots to enjoy there besides the skyline views from those fabulous rooftop pools. Check out some of the guys who like to party in The Big D—we can’t promise any of these guys will be at any of these hotels when you check in, but perhaps you should go and take some photos of your own?

Sheraton Dallas

We interrupt this collection of cute guys to bring you a bit of actual information. The Sheraton Dallas is the host hotel for the Black Tie Dinner, which is the largest fundraiser gala for gay and trans causes in the U.S. To date, the Black Tie Dinner has raised over $23 million in support of causes such as Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Lambda Legal, and DFW Trans Kids and Families. The next dinner is on November 2, 2019, so buy your tickets. And if you stay at the Sheraton, perhaps you’ll meet this guy for a late-night swim in the amazing pool:
