Nightlife in Las Vegas   (Life After Dark in Vegas)
Nightclubs and Adult Clubs
This Page Last Updated on 07/08/10 10:00 AM 

Over the past 14+ years our Internet readers have inundated us with requests about the "insider" information on what to do in Las Vegas after dark.  Las Vegas is truly a city that never sleeps. 
My staff has "nothing" to do with this page. After 38-years of me being around this city, the following reviews are the opinions of Richard Reed, owner of Insider Viewpoint of Las Vegas.  I am single and spend a vast amount of time in the night life of Las Vegas.  Below are my reviews and ratings of Nightclubs, Bars, Lounges, and the following page reviews Topless Clubs, Total Nude Clubs and more!
Since this is a family web site, it is my intentions to give an overview of all the possibilities available in Las Vegas.  For those looking for things to keep children busy that information is on another web page.

We live in a world where they make ice cream in 500+ flavors, the reason, everyone does not like the same thing.  Several places listed below I may revisit and some I will never visit again!  Respectfully. Richard Reed / CEO

Nightclubs - Bars - Lounges - Hot Spots
(The following places have been listed alphabetically.
Under the name is a rating of the level of fun you can expect.
Ratings are from 1 - 10, with 10 being the best)

" 9 "  N9NE 
Rated "8"
To the novice, this may only look like an upscale restaurant, but stand back and watch.  Awesome Friday and Saturday night crowd. This famous Chicago steak house has become the Mecca of good looking people, most of them well dressed, a great dinner and drinking crowd. Celebrities are a common experience in this crowd. A good mixture of visitors and locals.  Located inside the Palms casino, this is where fun starts on the weekends.
Bank
Rated "8"
Bank nightclub is a complete makeover of the Light nightclub located inside the Bellagio Casino.  The new design now offers inside and outside party areas and a great place to dance and drink the night away.  Opened late December just in time for New Years Eve. 
Bare Pool Lounge
Rated "8"
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, Bare Pool Lounge brings a whole new dimension to hanging out at the pool.  Bare Pool is open daily and has a European-style sun bathing secluded by towering palm trees.  Located at the Mirage Casino, this is a must for all you hard bodies.
Blush Boutique Nightclub
Rated "6"

 
The makeover of the Lure Ultra lounge has given us one more hot spot in Las Vegas, Blush Boutique Nightclub.  Opened Labor day weekend, 2007, this club may be small, but should pack a great crowd.  Located at the Wynn Las Vegas Casino, Blush is the sister club to Tryst.
Caramel
Rated "6"
Located inside the Bellagio Casino, this hot spot may be small, but it is great for people who want to drink, talk and have a good time in a smaller venue.  Obviously anything located inside the Bellagio is going to be upper scale, so leave the jeans and t-shirt at home.
Christian Audigier The Nightclub
Rated "7"
Complete remodel of the old Tangerine Nightclub, Christian Audigier The Nightclub is a trendy Los Angeles nightclub in the heart of Las Vegas.  This should be a great place to hand and watch the celebrities, time will tell.  Expect long lines, the overall size of the nightclub is not that large.   Located inside the Treasure Island Casino ( TI ).
Cleopatra's Barge
Rated "5"
If you want to dance on a replica of an Egyptian ship that is docked and still moves in 5 feet of water, this is your place.  Wed - Sun live bands. 9p - 4a.  Interest crowd, many high rollers from the casino, located inside Caesars Palace.
Club Rio
Rated "6"
Similar to the Hard Rock crowd, a lot of California weekend warriors coming to Las Vegas to impress themselves and party.  The locals have moved on long ago, they are now at Studio 54 or Pure. Located inside Rio Casino.
Club Tequila
Rated "5"
If you want a non Las Vegas Strip mega club, then Club Tequila may be for you.  Located in the Fiesta Rancho, several miles north of the Strip.  The club has a Southwest cantina feel and does have live shows and dancing.
Coyote Ugly
Rated "7"
You have probably seen the movie, now come visit the real thing - Vegas style.  This unique place is a little small, but they pack a fun crowd in nightly.  Located within the New York New York Casino, this hot spot has some amazingly gorgeous staff to look at even if you do not like the western motif.  No, this is not a country western bar, this bar is filled with suits and upper end players.
Ditch Fridays
Rated "6"
Another hot spot when the summer time invades Las Vegas.   Located at the Palms Casino pool area, every Friday this becomes the place to be during the day. 
Drai's
Rated "6"
An after hours club that is extremely popular.  Located downstairs in the Barbary Coast, Drai's is a restaurant that turns into a very late night crowd four days a week. (Wed-Sat).  Great DJ sounds, tons of people, hang out until noon, but wear something cool, it is a hot spot for many reasons.
Flirt Lounge
Rated "3"
Flirt lounge is located inside the Rio Casino and is billed as a place for men and women to enjoy.  Honestly, I dont know of to many real men who want to go to a club and be served by want a be Chippendale waiters.  This is nothing more than a way for the Casino to pick up some more drink money before and after the Chippendale show. 
Foundation Room Nightclub
Rated "6"

The Foundation Room is a members only club located on the top of the Mandalay Bay main tower, however on Monday nights they open the doors to non members and the fun begins. The interesting rooms, quaint atmosphere and a breath taking view of the Las Vegas Strip is truly an experience every one should experience.
Ghost Bar
Rated "6"
If you are looking for a great view of the city, this is it. However, it gets really crowded and unless you are a high roller, get ready to stand in a very long line just to get in.

Hard Rock
Casino Center Bar
Rated "5"
Once famous for having a great crowd at the center and side bars, now looks like the southern California reject invasion every weekend.   Still an interesting place to hang, all types float through the doorway.
Haze
Rated "7"
One of the newest night spots in Las Vegas, Haze.  Haze is located in the new CityCenter, inside at Aria.  If CityCenter is going to be a success, it will make this place a sure winner.
House of Blues
Rated "7"
A very interesting late night spot, filled with interesting people.  Should your desires be that of mixing with the jet setters, drinking, or dancing the night away, this is it. To be even more elite, join the Foundation Room, a mere few thousand dollars a year dues you are in, if they accept you.  Both are located inside Mandalay Bay Casino.
Jet
Rated " 8"
Located inside the Mirage Casino, this ultra club is everything it has been hyped to be and then some.  Opened the last few days of 2005, this new club is soon going to be one of the must see properties in Las Vegas.
Krave
Rated "7"
Krave is the only alternative lifestyles nightclub on the famous Las Vegas Strip.  This club is located in the Planet Hollywood Casino, the Miracle Mile of shops.  
LAVO
Rated "8"
Lavo nightclub is sister club to the famous Tao nightclub.  Lavo is located in the Palazzo casino. This restaurant, lounge and late night nightclub is a hit among locals and tourists alike.  Extremely well appointed, this is one of the real hot spots of Vegas.
LAX
Rated "8"
Arrived at the end of summer 2007, LAX is the new replacement for the old Ra nightclub, located inside the Luxor Casino.  Much larger than the old Ra, the new expanded version will have multiple venues within itself including a restaurant and private VIP club called Noir.    
Mix
Rated "7"
If you like one of the best views of the famous Las Vegas Strip, drink and listen to current sounds, then you need to be at Mix.  Located at the top of the second tower of Mandalay Bay Casino, TheHotel.   
Moon
Rated "7"
Located in the Palms Casino, one floor above the famous Playboy Club is Moon Nightclub.  As you can image, the flow of partiers going through the four nightclubs within the Palms Casino is amazing.  This club has great music and a great view of the city. 
Playboy Club
Rated "7"
Yes Dorothy, this is not Kansas and Las Vegas has once again revived an old standard and taken it to new heights.  The Playboy Clubs were all closed more than a decade ago and now the one and only has reopened in the Palms Casino.  Great view of the city from this club and the females are not bad to look at either!
Pussycat Dolls
Rated "7"
Located inside the famous Caesars Palace Casino, an unusual and fun place has risen to the delight of the night time crowd.  The atmosphere is intense and the visual eye candy of the place is outstanding. 
Pure
Rated "9"
One of the most prominent nightclub to hit Las Vegas.  Located inside the famous Caesars Palace Casino, this 36,000 square feet, two story, indoor and outdoor nightclub has something for everyone. Unique decor and a free flowing room makes it easy to mingle. The crowds are large, the lines are long, but worth it.
Rain
Rated "7"
Probably the largest of nightclubs in any casino, this one is located inside the Palms.  Weekends are out of control, the few thousand people that goes through this place is amazing.  Nice sound and light system, this multi story nightclub has a little of everything, including sky boxes you can rent.
Red Square
Rated "6"
An interesting night spot that is a restaurant and small lounge located inside the Mandalay Bay.  Do not let the size fool you, it packs a crowd on the weekends.  Great selection of vodka and it has an interesting bar top, ice.  Yes, down the center of the bar looks like an ice skating rink in miniature, quite the conversation piece.
Rehab
Rated "7"
When summer arrives in Las Vegas, Rehab opens its arm and welcomes all poolside partiers.  Located in and around the Hard Rock Casino pool, this Sunday party place lasts all day long.  

Revolution
Rated "6"
Opened in December of 2006, The Beatles Revolution Lounge is a contemporary interpretation of the The Beatles era.  Created by Cirgue du Soleil, this interesting night spot attracts all ages. 

Rouge
Rated "8"
Once again this ultra lounge located inside the MGM Grand under goes a remodel and a name change.  Originally opened about four years ago, and remodeled and reopened under the name Teatro on December 8, 2004 and now once again (August 23, 2006) a new make over and new name, Rouge.  Leave your tennis shoes and jeans at home, this is going to be one of the high end places to be and be seen in Vegas. Check out the Ferrari red leather booths and the digital bottle display wall, both are interesting to say the least. 
Rumjungle
Rated "7"
A trendy night spot located inside the Mandalay Bay, next door to Red Square.  Small nightclub compared to the amount of people they pack inside.  Usually a long line to get in.  Fun inside, but the long wait to enter can be a drag.
Shadow Bar & Lounge
Rated "6"
Caesars Palace Casino may have outdone themselves with this interesting bar/lounge.  If you idea of drinking while watching near naked ladies dance behind a screen, thus calling it the shadow bar for a good reason.
Social House
Rated "6"
Another hot spot created by those creative players at Pure Management.  This Las Vegas gathering place is filled with atmosphere, quality food, and good times.  
Studio 54
Rated "8"
Looking to be seen? Living on the famous/infamous history of the original New York - Studio 54, this place delivers high energy with a very unusual cross section of party goers.  No telling who you will see in the crowd, always something happening -- dance the night away.  Located inside MGM Grand Casino. Photo & additional information, click here
Taboo Ultra Lounge
Rated "7"
Should you prefer a smaller, quaint place that has a great atmosphere, then consider this your new home.  Located inside the MGM Grand Casino, this is one of the newer trendy places to be seen.  Nice crowd, unusual mixture of locals and high end visitors.  This is not your jeans and t-shirt crowd.
Tao
Rated "8"
Tao opened in September 2005 and the crowds have not let up. This nightclub is popular with tourists and is packed almost every night. Located inside the Venetian Casino.  One of the largest nightclubs in Las Vegas, and beginning in 2007 they will also have an adjacent pool on the third floor for even more fun.
The Night Club
Rated "6"
This famous night club has been around Vegas for years delivering great sounds and many great entertainers for your evenings delight.  Similar to old style night clubs, this place is great for all ages.  Located inside the Hilton Casino.
Tryst
Rated "9"
Originally opened as Le Bete, this newly remodeled nightclub is located downstairs in the Wynn Casino.  Ultra sheek and very eye appealing, this club is a must see on your list of Las Vegas nightlife stops.  Where else except in Las Vegas can you go to a nightclub and sit outside by the 80 foot waterfall, year round? This is the hottest club in town, get ready to spend a long time in line unless you use our VIP walk through service.
V Bar
Rated "6"
Somewhat of a local restaurant worker crowd mixed with the "in" crowd of Las Vegas.  Located inside the Venetian Casino, very quaint atmosphere with a sofa comfort of a hidden lounge.  An unusual array of customers, well worth a stop in to look around.
Vanity
Rated "?"
Opening New Years Eve, December 31, 2009, inside the Hard Rock Casino.  This should be an excellent hot spot and will likely hit the new scene wide open and making their mark on the nightlife of Las Vegas.
VooDoo Lounge
Rated "6"
A great view of the city awaits you at this lounge.  Located on the top floor of the Rio Casino, the VooDoo Lounge is very popular with S. Cal. visitors.
The Whiskey
Rated "7"
Great place to be on Friday and Saturday night, IF, you are lucky enough to get in.  Fun, trendy place in the newest of the neighborhood casinos, Green Valley Ranch.  To bad this is not located in a Strip Casino.
