Las Vegas Sin City Never Sleeps Las Vegas nightlife has something for everyone he Las Vegas nightclub scene is intimidating for many veteran visitors, let alone rank amateurs. So figuring out which mega-club, luxury lounge or nightclub to party at on a Saturday night can be tough stuff. For many folks, this could be their biggest party night (or nights) of the year. In order to recommend the right place for the right experience, it’s critical to know what your client is looking for. Here are some important questions to ask in order to ensure that you match up your clients with the perfect venue: Do they want extremely loud music? Are they all right with standing all night long? Do they want classy martinis, cold beers or good old-fashioned mixed drinks? Are they looking to dance? Meet members of the opposite sex? By getting these answers, you’ll be able to determine what venue best suites their personality. For example, Tao is a massive megaclub that’s ruled by raucous revelers, while Coyote Ugly is geared toward beer drinking and catcalling. What follows are some suggestions that fit into a variety of categories. T similar experience downtown, check out rival Hogs & Heifers Saloon (702-676-1457, www.hogsandheifers.com). Tao What could be the most popular and largest mega-club in Sin City, Tao Las Vegas (at the Venetian) is a massive 10,000-square-foot party zone where hip hop, house and rock ‘n’ roll dominate. The $20 million dancing, dining and drinking complex has two main rooms, an outdoor environment (the sexy Tao Beach) and the most extensive collection of Buddah statues this side of Asia. Geared toward the most serious club-goers, wallflowers are sure to feel left out in this jamming hotspot. The restaurant is open daily, but the nightclub is only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. It’s $20 for women and $30 for men. Bottle service starts at $325 plus tax and gratuity, and reservations must be made in advance. Call 702-388-8588 or visit www.taolasvegas.com. Coyote Ugly Over at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino is the Coyote Ugly Bar & Dance Saloon (www.coyoteuglysaloon.com/ vegas). This place is for serious drinkers only. It’s a bawdy, brassy place where ladies dance on the bar, the crowd is sprayed with water and hard rocking hits are pumped out all night long. Based on the film Coyote Ugly, it’s a place where the ladies are in charge and the men are left to watch. With few rules, Coyote Ugly is not a dance club; rather it’s a cross between a fraternity party and an upscale dive bar. Many women have even left their bras behind to be displayed on the rafters. Its motif is old-school Southern that was designed to look well worn and features flea market treasures. Coyote Ugly is open from 6 p.m. into the wee hours the next morning. Cover charges may apply so call 702-740-6330 for more information. For a 20 TravelAgent September 3, 2007 Jet Nothing less than pandemonium, Jet Nightclub is the place to be for an out-of-control Monday night party. Though it’s not the largest club on The Strip, this is the perfect place for those looking to mix up the music throughout the night. With three separate rooms each playing a different musical genre (hip hop, rock and house), there is something for everyone who likes music or dancing. However, with three separate soundsystems, this club is not a place for chitchat. Since Monday is the hottest night for the club and the biggest party on The Strip, we recommend buying VIP entries online that cost $40 (www.mirage.com/entertainment/ entertainment_nightlife_jet.aspx). The club is also open Friday and Saturday nights from Jet Nightclub (top) and Tabú Ultra Lounge at MGM Grand (above) http://www.hogsandheifers.com http://www.taolasvegas.com http://www.coyoteuglysaloon.com/vegas http://www.coyoteuglysaloon.com/vegas http://www.mirage.com/entertainment/entertainment_nightlife_jet.aspx http://www.mirage.com/entertainment/entertainment_nightlife_jet.aspx
