Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce Taking a cue from early 20th-century naughtiness, this postcard to the burlesque era is a cheeky celebration of days gone by. At the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino (www. mandalaybay.com), Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce (www.fortydeuce.com/lasvegas-nightclubs.php) might be a recent addition to the resort, but it’s meant to look as if the club has always been a part of the Vegas tapestry. There is a smokestained brick, wood-paneled bar reminiscent of old-school Times Square, and the place is lit by the glow of small lamps. The highlight of the club is the burlesque shows, which are presented on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Thursday nights feature a modern reinvention of the burlesque show. The club is closed Monday and Tuesdays. For more information, call 702 632-9442. I Diablo’s Cantina Diablo’s Cantina (www.lightgroup.com) is home to more than 75 different types of tequila.

The second-story outside bar has live bands on Friday and Saturday nights until 11:30 p.m. Sporting events are broadcast on a gigantic 10by-10 projection screen as well as plasma screens spread throughout the venue. To enhance that Mexican vibe, dancing señoritas and roaming shot girls tote tequila bottles in belt holsters. Moose-o-Libre, Diablo’s wrestling champion mascot, is sure to be around as well. As for that tequila, it comes in all styles from blanco to the three-or-more-years aged Reserva Añejo. There is a variety of tasting flights available, as well as infused tequilas, sangrias and frozen specialty drinks.
