Keeping Portland sex weird for more than three decades, this vast multilevel swingers lodge hosts a diverse array of attendees across 10,000 square feet of twisting corridors, hidden lounges and trapeze-laden rec rooms. Newer events like the LGBTQ party Pan-Demonium and a body-positive burlesque showcase emphasize the Velvet Rope's dance floor.
