About us

What is The Love Effect?

The Love Effect is the Las Vegas home of everything comedian and dating coach Dawn Weir — Red Dawn — has built to bring people together. It starts with you: confidence and dating coaching at UR-Amazing and the art of the sincere compliment at Compliments for Change, with employee recognition training, workshops and kindness programs for schools and workplaces. Then it's time to date. Our Las Vegas speed dating nights teach you how to engage, compliment and present yourself before you meet 12 to 15 singles in one night: PrimeTime Speed Dating for singles over 45, Now or Never for singles 21 and up, and Pride Time for gay, lesbian and LGBTQ+ speed dating in Las Vegas. Join the First Spark Club and be the first to hear about new singles events.

For the 21+ crowd, The Green Room brings all things 420 together in one place: 420 Speed Dating for cannabis-friendly singles, My420Love, the cannabis dating site where love comes first and 420 comes second, Gettin' Comfy with Cannabis for beginner-friendly cannabis education and state cannabis laws, and HighTime Lounges, the cannabis lounge directory and travel guide to 420-friendly hotels, dispensaries and events in every state. And there's always room for a laugh: watch Red Dawn, the Kill Tony comedian seen on Netflix's KillTony Mania, listen to The Red Dawn Show podcast, catch HotMicHotWings, the live hot wings comedy show in Las Vegas, or support The Giving Water, a Las Vegas nonprofit delivering clean drinking water for disaster relief. More love, better connections, a kinder world — that's The Love Effect.

“A connection is built in the first sixty seconds.”
— Dawn Weir, host of every speed dating night
