Best Clubs In Vegas

Best Clubs In Vegas - Top 10

1. Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub - Cosmopolitan

One of the biggest mega-clubs in Vegas with multiple floors and rooms, multiple check in locations and great dance music. You will find very cool decorations, a roof top pool (complete with mermaids swimming in it) and an amazing lounge area. The first floor has a hip hop room, the second floor has the house music and an outdoor area, and the third floor is a chill room with table service, a pool table and it's decorated like a library. 

We rank Marquee as the best club in Vegas, hands down. The lines here are very long to say the least requiring multiple hour waits on a crowded night (6000+ people when they are busy). The best way to beat this is to buy tickets early and head to the 3rd floor to a shorter ticketed entry line. Another option is to order their very pricey bottle service. Ladies, you might be able to just rely on a guest list. The bar service was excellent and the bar staff were always friendly. The drinks, while expensive, are large and great tasting.

The music is the best you will find at any club. The sound, provided by a top of the line Funkton-One sound system, the lights, the lasers, the CO2, the dancers, the LED screen, and everything that goes into the production of a show here is 5 stars all the way. Don't take our word for it as Mag recently listed Marquee as the top club in North America, and the 11th best club in the entire world. 

Marquee consistently brings in some of the biggest DJs in the world every Friday and Saturday - Armin van Buuren, Chuckie, Kaskade, ATB, Above & Beyond, Sander van Doorn, Dash Berlin, Dirty South, Ferry Corsten and many more If you're serious about clubbing, electronic music, and having your mind absolutely blown away between 10pm and 4am, get in line early and check out Marquee.

2. RAIN IN THE DESERT  -  Palms Casino Resort 

Fantasy meets reality at Rain Nightclub, a 28,000 square foot playground created for adults only. Fourteen-foot fireballs light up an elevated dance floor as glistening bodies dance to a beat that is so contagious, the dancing water fountains struggle to keep up. Skyboxes, cabanas and water booths provide a more intimate affair for 8 – 15 guests. Reservations are required and should be made in advance. Rain Nightclub, doubles as Rain, the entertainment venue, with a list of past performers that include Kid Rock, Santana, Ozzy Osbourne, No Doubt, Seal, Nelly, Jay Z, Korn, Counting Crows, Live, Goo Goo Dolls, Pink, and Britney Spears who stunned the crowd with a surprise performance.

The Palms has made it a point to snag the under-30 crowd once owned exclusively by the Hard Rock. The casino has a slicker, edgier feel than most of the Strip resorts and that extends to its premier nightspot as well. Rain in the Desert is one of the most advanced clubs in town, featuring an amazing lighting system and multilevel design that can satisfy even the most jaded club kid. Another great feature is its connection to the groovy Skin pool lounge, which also operates as its own separate nightspot. A multipurpose venue, Rain hosts a variety of events, including concerts and larger-than-life club gigs (check out the upcoming Pimp ’N’ Ho ball). Thursdays with DJ Hollywood and R.O.B. have been quite the big deal, and Saturdays have recently made a noticeable dent in the competitive scene. Don’t expect to find any underground cool, as the club is set squarely in the mainstream. But if you’re after a more MTV-friendly environment, Rain is the place for it. 

Skin Pool Lounge

Also at the Palms is the Skin Pool Lounge. As if a pool overflowing with beautiful people isn’t enough to capture your attention, Skin Pool Lounge offers other diversions such as poolside blackjack, massages, outdoor swings, mouth-watering beverages and snacks, unique double-decker cabanas, as well as 21 single story cabanas fully equipped with a television, misters, fan, stocked refrigerator and chaise lounges. To cool down, dip your tail in to the above ground mermaid cove or one of two relaxation pools. 

By night, Skin takes on a new look as nightclub and entertainment venue, with features that include a concert stage, spectacular lighting and fog effects. Shadow dancers, mesmerizing mermaids and aqua Go-Go girls keep with the beat of the live DJ, who keeps the fun going all night long.

3. Ghostbar
 At the top of the Palms is Ghostbar. The ride lasts only seconds, but seems like an eternity, the suspense builds and the doors open. What you see is a breathtaking view of the Las Vegas Strip from 55 floors above, a site unfathomable to ghostbar virgins. As the view draws you in, the music of the live DJ fills the background. From the “ghostdeck”, yet another view takes your breath away, one from a see-thru acrylic floor looking directly at the Skin Pool Lounge below. The room, simple, yet eclectic, allows the beautiful patrons to be the focal point.

 3. XS Nightclub - Encore Las Vegas

Come early to avoid the crowds. This is a huge club that is very 
impressive. Steve Wynn continues to impress. XS is an urban oasis that will take your breath away. It is a big open space with chandeliers and stripper poles. Even farther back, it opens up into the pool area where you can walk around and play blackjack and craps. It has a fantastic dance floor. Drinks are pricey, so make sure you have enough cash/plastic on you.

It is considered to be the most expensive nightclub ever built with over $100 million dollars for its inception. Partygoers can even swim up to the outdoor blackjack tables.

4. DRAI’S - Bill's Gamblin' Saloon

A swank gourmet restaurant by day, Drai’s transforms into one of the nation’s hottest after-hour parties every Wednesday through Sunday. Here cash is king. Expect a circus of a crowd clamoring for the chance to descend into the basement club. Dress to the nines and have a wad of doorman grease money on hand or else forget about getting in. Drai’s often suffers from the beautiful-people complex. Still, it is an experience that every club-goer should have once. Besides, you just might run into Ben Affleck or Carmen Elektra.






 5.  Tryst - Wynn Las Vegas 

One of the nicest club in Vegas. The 70 ft water fountain is beautiful, and the decor is very chic. You get a nice breeze that comes off the fountain. Drinks are pricey, but the ambiance is worth it. The Go-go dancers are nice eye candy. Tryst is a beautiful club. If you are a guest of the hotel you don't have to wait in line to get in, but there is still an admission fee. Ample plush lounges surround the dance floor and the place is definitely on par with the Wynn's sophisticated theme.

6. LAX - Luxor   

LAX, which took over RA (check out our spokesmodel photoshoot with celebrity model Christina Lindley) arrives at Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas with 26,000 sq. ft. of the latest club experience brought to you from the creators of Pure Nightclub; Pure Management Group along with celebrity investors Christina Aguilera and DJ AM.

Catering to a young, sophisticated audience, LAX is the destination of choice for club-goers, A-list celebrities and the social jet set. With the sounds of the evening at LAX being pumped out by DJ extraordinaires DJ AM and DJ Vice, LAX has an atmosphere found no where else in the world. 


 7. Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge - Caesars Palace 

It's a great place to go if you're looking to grab a drink and hang out. This is a smaller more chill place with a great vibe to it. Lots of eye candy with burlesque shows on stage. Guest performances at the Pussycat Dolls Lounge include the likes of Tori Spelling, Eva Longoria, Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards. .

Every night of the week, the Dolls perform a series of small shows every 30 minutes or so. These sultry song and dance performances are executed on the stage that lines the sides of the room and is elevated in the center. As far as burlesque Las Vegas shows go, this is one of the best, and in-between each small show, DJ's spin primarily rock music. It's a good time to hit the bar and let your pulse return to normal before the next show begins.


8. Surrender Nightclub - Encore Las Vegas 
 
Surrender Nightclub is an indoor/outdoor club that is sure to please. Steve Wynn with his never ending quest for perfection, and Vegas club pioneer Sean Christie have teamed up to create this one of a kind club. What makes it unique is that you start off indoors encountering a 120-ft long metal silver snake resting behind the bar. 8 dance platforms surround you where a team of gorgeous go-go dancers put on a wild show for you. The high-end decor by Roger Thomas blends in perfectly with the lush design of Encore. As you move back a gigantic 45,000 sq-ft outdoor club awaits you where you will find 3 tiered pools, VIP cabanas with flat screen TVs and amazing views of the Strip, and bungalows with all the furnishings including your own sound system, private bathrooms and temperature controls. You can also find beds and couches reserved for VIP bottle service.
Club guests can also enjoy a gaming area where blackjack and craps is offered while you take in the great clubbing environment. The easy access to fresh air and wide space is very nice and a stark contrast to the often "packed-in" feel you get from most clubs. The layout is conducive to guest mingling and finding nooks and crannies to hide out. Of course, their dance floors are always available when you are ready to the traditional mob club scene.

There are three bars, so the line to get a drink never takes too long. They also have a reputation of serving super strong drinks too, so between the fast ordering and strength you can get drunk fast (try the Tokyo Tea)! Surrender's table service is nothing but 5 stars all the way with an amazing cool staff. The music is house/hip-hop/top 40 mix. The only negative to this club are the small dance floors, but the wide open outdoor space more than makes up for it.


 9. The Foundation Room  - Mandalay Bay  

Just Follow the signs in Mandalay Bay's Lobby to take you to the Foundation Room Elevators. The lounge is on the top floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and is both a restaurant and cocktail lounge. The staff is classy and professional. And once you've experienced it, you'll find yourself setting the bar high for any other lounge in comparison. Cool and hip decore, decent music, and without a doubt the best view in Vegas. You will find authentic artifacts from India and Tibet, intricately carved wood-paneled walls and lush fabrics which lend an Eastern, mystical ambiance. Great music, great drinks, great service and a great view.





10. COYOTE UGLY - New York New York 


A Southern style dance bar featuring hot female bartenders who have elevated pouring drinks to an art form. Like its New York City namesake, the sexy, sassy, tough talking Coyote Ugly bartenders ascend to the top of the bar nightly to perform an entertaining show filled with stunts ranging from fire-blowing to body shots to choreographed dance numbers. Tons of fun, these lovely ladies invite customer interaction for a truly memorable experience. Decorated with Southern flea market treasures and well-worn wood, this room feels more like a happening college bar than a typical night club.
