More Nightclubs that Rock

Sin City is the undisputed capital of the nightclub scene. Here are some of our favorites.

Privé

The Bank

Moon

Located on the 53rd floor of the Fantasy Tower, Moon creates a dramatic, surreal environment for discerning party-goers. From the color-changing, glass-tile floor to the majestic, floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unrivaled views of Sin City, every aspect of this boutique nightclub begs for attention.

A space-age theme pervades this 12,500-square-foot venue. Imagine a nightclub stationed on the moon -- all steel and glass with white and silver adornments. Cocktail servers and dancers dress in short, tight, metallic silver uniforms with black go-go boots. Lasers and space imagery fill the air and walls above the main dance floor.

Overhead, a retractable roof opens to reveal an incredible view of the desert sky and stars. When closed, the ceiling serves as a massive video screen, displaying giant images of the club captured by a series of cameras.

Foundation Room

The House of Blues Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay is one of the most exclusive clubs in Vegas. It is usually a members-only venue. Accessible only by a private elevator, the Foundation Room is located 43 floors up, on the top of the hotel. An outdoor balcony offers breathtaking views of the Strip and the eastern Las Vegas valley.

Designed with dark colors, fabrics and authentic artifacts from India and Tibet, the Foundation Room has an exotic, mysterious ambience. There is a fireplace in the main lounge surrounded by comfortable sofas -- a perfect place for conversation or relaxation.

Studio 54

New York City's original Studio 54 nightclub defined '70s pop culture, and now guests of Studio 54 at the MGM Grand can be transported back to the heyday of that classic discotheque. Studio 54 offers 22,000 square feet of fun. There is a large main dance floor downstairs and two smaller dance floors upstairs -- and people do come here to dance. The music at Studio 54 always gets the crowd moving. Early in the evening, you'll hear plenty of disco and early '80s hip-hop and dance music. As the night progresses, expect to hear more techno and house tunes.

House of Blues

Rumjungle

With Sin City's largest supply of rum stacked to the ceiling, rumjungle is no stranger to the limelight. Rumjungle offers the most diversified experience to be found on the Vegas Strip, shunning the common raver and catering to an upscale, mature clientele. Rumjungle is open all week, but the pretty people come out in droves on Friday and Saturday nights. On any given night, DJs provide partygoers with a fresh dose of R&B, house, hip-hop, funk, Top 40, techno and international rhythm that will make you move. Seating comes at a price, so if you're on a budget, plan on standing -- the VIP sections are reserved for nightclubbers with cash to burn. From the walls of water lined with fire to the illuminated bar, rumjungle defies all convention. This is one scene you don't want to miss.

Palms Pool

Shirking responsibility has never had so many perks before — partygoers can take a dip in three separate pools, take a load off in one of 27 VIP cabanas, or just take in the view of fellow ditchers lounging in the sun. For those missing the fruity refreshment of a beverage sipped on borrowed time, the Palms Pool and Ditch Fridays offers cocktails like Morty's Bikini Remover (Bacardi Coco, Select Rum, banana liqueur, cranberry and pineapple juice) and raspberry mojitos as a replacement for the over-21 set.

Tabú

Tabú, a chic nightspot located inside the MGM Grand, bills itself as Vegas first "ultra lounge." And ultra it is. The club offers unique, sophisticated touches you won't find in either a typical Vegas lounge or anywhere else. The experience begins with Tabú's models/hostesses who provide tableside drink mixology, fine bottle service and signature cocktails. Bottles are beautifully presented in a block of carved ice, with a tray of drink garnishes to match your choice of alcohol.

Tangerine

Tangerine Lounge & Nightclub brings a bit of burlesque to the bar top. The club, located at Treasure Island, features beautiful bartenders and a bevy of burlesque dancers that hop on top of the bar and shimmy down from evening attire to lingerie. A live three-piece band including drums, stand-up bass and saxophone accompanies the performances, which take place three times per night. The decor and atmosphere at Tangerine match the funky, retro vibe created by the burlesque shows. The club is decorated in white and shades of orange. Fabrics draping the walls glow with orange light at night.

Voodoo Lounge

The New Orleans-inspired VooDoo Lounge atop the Rio Hotel offers some of Vegas' most beautiful scenery as well as some of the most extraordinary cocktails in town.

VooDoo Lounge, located on the 51st floor of the Rio, has large windows providing a panoramic view of the Strip. The views can be enjoyed from inside the club, or, if the weather is nice, you can venture outside to the large balcony. Since the Rio is set back from the Strip on Flamingo Road, the vantage point is a great one.

VooDoo Lounge is a fairly small, intimate club with dark colors, Southern decor and low lounge seating.
