Top Nightclubs in Las Vegas


The Las Vegas Strip

People go to Las Vegas, Nevada for more reasons than can possibly be imagined. There are conventions held there for practically every industry under the sun. There are people who go primarily to enjoy the gambling and those who go primarily to see the shows. There are people who go there because it’s one of the easiest and least expensive places to get airplane tickets to from many other cities in the nation. And there are people who go there because it’s one of the easiest places to have a spur-of-the-moment wedding ceremony. But not matter what reason you might end up going to Las Vegas, it’s almost guaranteed that you are going to the city in search of a good time. Read the full story

You grab dinner at a top restaurant or a favorite buffet, catch a Cirque du Soleil show in the evening, head to the clubs afterwards and then stay up all night playing the slots. This activity may encourage you to sleep in but you’ll still have afternoons free to fill up however you please. In between seeing the animals at different casino hotels and watching the free shows that play every hour at some spots, you are going to want to make sure that you fit in some shopping.

MGM Grand Las Vegas

In the city that never seems to sleep, you’re still going to need a soft pillow to lay your head on. The 30-floor MGM Grand Las Vegas, is just the place.

In Las Vegas, having a grand hotel with gorgeous rooms isn’t sufficient–there must be something to give you an edge. The MGM Grand has several, beginning with the fantastic glass-sided lion habitat within the hotel. The lions — six are shown everyday — do not live in the habitat, but rather at the home of Keith Evans, an exotic animal trainer. Beyond its exotic habitat, the hotel is also the home of the famous Cirque du Soleil show, KÀ. If you’re into shows, the hotel also features Crazy Horse Paris (formerly La Femme), a production said to celebrate the “artistry of the nude.” Finally, the resort features a full recreation of New York’s Studio 54 nightclub. The hotel also features five outdoor pools, rivers and waterfalls, a 380,000 square-foot convention center, the Grand Spa, the MGM Grand Arena, and the CBS Television City.

And then there are the luxury loft suites, SKYLOFTS. They’ve been awarded the AAA 5 Diamonds, and are filled with technological goodies such as flat screen TVs, DVD players, wine coolers, B&O sound systems, and 24-hour butlers, concierge, and housekeeping. Can you stand the luxury?

Mirage Hotel Las Vegas


If you have ever driven to Las Vegas, you know that the city itself appears out of nowhere as a mirage. You’re driving through the desert, with nothing but land and cactus around you, and suddenly you catch a glimpse of a vibrant, sparkling city of lights. Upon arrival, you discover (of course) that it is no mirage; although it is a little bit surreal. What better way to fully embody this spirit that is Las Vegas than to stay at this hotel named for the experience. Mirage Hotel Las Vegas captures the magical essence that makes this city what it is, reflecting it back to you throughout your stay.

The hotel is located on the Strip, offering easy access to all of the life that Vegas places at your disposal, but there is little reason to leave the tropical wonderland. Within the walls of this hotel/resort/casino, you will find white tigers and dolphins, luscious gardens, an expansive aquarium and an explosive volcano.

By day, you can indulge in spa and salon treatments, by night you can magnify your haze with drinks at any of eight different bars and lounges. If the wonder of the Mirage starts to fade, you need only enjoy the entertainment of Cirque du Soleil’s “LOVE” or any of the hotels other entertainment options to recapture the feeling that you have discovered a paradise in the midst of the desert.

The facade of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre. Guests are greeted with “Bonjour” and the walkways resemble Parisian outdoor cafes.
