Las Vegas nightlife is as potent as Sin City never sleeps. Las Vegas nightclubs, dance clubs, lounges, ultra lounges, bars, strip bars, pubs, live shows, strip shows, adult entertainment all keep Las Vegas after dark hustling and bustling from dusk 'til the wee after-hours.
The hip and upscale gravitate towards Bellagio's very posh Light nightclub and chic ultra lounge Lure at Wynn, both with exclusive bottle service, or either of The Venetian's Tao club, with plenty of Buddhas and some of the best décor in town, or V Bar, with its diffused lighting and minimalist walls. A-list celebrities flock at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub, with three separate clubbing areas, and The Mirage's JET nightclub, with cutting-edge lights and sound.
Post-partying, the well-heeled crowd unwind by sipping martinis in choco-caramel chilled glasses at Bellagio's swanky Caramel lounge, prima cocktail concoctions at Mandalay Bay's swishy Mix lounge, signature cocktails with mixology on the side at MGM Grand's Tabu Ultra Lounge. Livelier indoor-outdoor chilling happens at Rio's VooDoo Lounge with flair bartenders a la Tom Cruise in Cocktails and Palms's ghostbar lounge with a neon-clad bar and see-through acrylic flooring at the ghostdeck.
The mellowed set cools down with international wines and champagnes at Las Vegas Hilton's Tempo Lounge or DJ Hollywood at Barbary Coast's Drai's After Hours by restaurateur Victor Drai. Try the tres exclusive, members-only Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay if feeling inwardly, or Wolfgang Puck's Asian-spirited OPM at Caesars Palace if feeling outwardly. For couples, Stratosphere's Romance Lounge waxes sentimental with fabulous deck views while Wynn's Tryst woos with a late-night lovers's rendezvous.
Crowds are hot and happening at Aladdin's gay-lesbian nightspot Krave nightclub and Red Rock's Cherry Nightclub by clubhead Randy Gerber. The outdoor party starts at noon daily in Harrah's Carnaval Court, whips out aerial and trapeze acts and all-you-can-eat Brazilian at Mandalay Bay's rumjungle, or giant fireballs and dancing fountains at Palms's Rain Las Vegas. Dance inside a circle of two-tiered seats at Club Rio or inside a rock star's Euro-styled pad at Hard Rock's Body English.
For risque nightlife short of Las Vegas strippers and adult shows, there are Paris Las Vegas's aptly named Risque nightclub with beds, couches, ottomans for all sorts of horizontal fun and Treasure Island's Tangerine nightclub with flirtatious bartenders and burlesque dancers all over an indoor lounge and outdoor deck. Take sexy risks in cozy grounds with femme performing bartenders at New York-New York's Coyote Ugly and coy go-go dolls late night at MGM Grand's Studio 54.
It's twice the seduction at Caesars Palace where sultry dance numbers are served every half-hour at Pussycat Dolls Lounge and coquettish silhouette dancers taunt behind a screen at Shadow Bar. Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce at Mandalay Bay features vintage-Vegas burlesque striptease. For spring break in Las Vegas, Aladdin sports bar Blondies has vixen servers and beer pong Thursdays while Beacher's Rockhouse at Imperial Palace is hefty on mechanical bull riding, foam parties, stripper pole dancing.
Livewire Las Vegas nightlife is best sampled at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues with its irreverent wall art and kickass rock n' roll acts, or Treasure Island's Mist bar with its free-wheeling rock n' roll and sports on TV. 13 Martini Bar counterpoints fiery Hooters girls with an acoustic show, Nine Fine Irishmen is a Victorian bar with shop-style snugs at New York-New York, a Prince tribute band performs at Monte Carlo's The Brew Pub and microbrewery.
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Flamingo has a choice of five bars with live entertainment, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill at Harrah's has the country star's own hand-picked bands. Las Vegas nightclubs and bars usually stay open after-hours and have special nights with no cover charge, such as for ladies or locals.
