Las Vegas' Night Scene

Along the strip, the dance clubs are just as famous as the five-star casinos and hotels. In a city of guilty pleasure, what better way to satisfy your dance fever than to hit up one of the many nightclubs that line Las Vegas Boulevard.

Blush


Having a little pink in your cheeks is not always a bad thing – at least that is what the owners of Blush would like us to believe. Located inside the Wynn Las Vegas, this boutique club prides itself on excellent service, excellent music, and an over-the-top atmosphere that entices the senses. The space is lit up with 300 individual color-changing lanterns hanging from the ceiling and art graces the walls. The floor is a feat in itself; made with lit onyx the space is literally glowing from top to bottom. Inside, music from House favorite D.J. Mighty Mi vibrates throughout the dance floor. Outside, a patio houses additional seating, a bar, and when needed in the winter – heat lamps.

Tryst

If you are looking for an outdoor oasis, then look no further than Tryst. The second of the Wynn nightclubs, Tryst is an outdoor (but indoor) masterpiece. As you enter, directly ahead will be a giant waterfall, viewable from most places inside the club. Yes, I said it – a waterfall inside Tryst, inside the Wynn. D.J. Justin Hoffman spins the latest Top 40, hop-hop, mash-ups and house music while you tear up the dance floor or sit at one of the many tables surrounding the lagoon.



TAO

If you are looking for an Asian-inspired night, then you are in luck. TAO, located inside the Venetian, offers Asian-influence in the heart of Sin City. This nightclub has everything you are looking for – lounge, restaurant, dance floor, all in a separate space. If you are interested in an intimate dinner for two or a night of power-dancing, this club has it covered. Then entrance is lined with rose petal-filled bathtubs and red mood lighting. The first floor houses the lounge and restaurant area complete with a giant Buddha while the second floor houses the club area. Each room offers unique music and different bars, one of which is adorned with hundreds of Buddha’s and candles.

LAX

The entrance to LAX is grandioso at its best. Housed in the Luxor, huge, gothic-style gates greet clubbers as they make their way in to the club. The club is covered with lots of red and black and low sexy lighting sets the mood. LAX is two stories, connected by a grand entrance staircase. Each level houses a VIP seating area, dance floor, and bar with an elevated DJ booth in between. In the center is Noir Bar. Gothic accents are carried throughout that mimic the entryway. D.J. Vice spins a variety of music each night.

XS

Encore’s hottest night scene, XS, opened with a bang and a bash to be reckoned with on New Year’s Eve 2008. Complete with a lagoon and $10,000 signature cocktail, this just may be the nightclub to top in the future.

Any of these nightclubs will surprise you with an amazing time. Keep in mind that dress codes are strictly enforced so if you think you are going in a T-shirt and jeans, you might want to go change. Be prepared to have a great night and don’t be too surprised if you have a celebrity encounter or two.
