Nightlife
People travel to Las Vegas from all over the world to experience the city’s legendary nightlife. The Strip is littered with wedding chapels where couples of all ages can get married and then step right outside into the party. College students fill the casinos, nightclubs and gentleman’s clubs during every holiday vacation. If you’re looking for hip places full of beautiful people then there are dozens of nightclubs and lounges where you’ll fit right in. Pure is a brand new 36,000-square-foot hot spot at Caesars Palace. The lines are long, the drinks are expensive and there’s a good chance you might see someone famous. It’s pretty much what you’d expect a nightclub in Las Vegas to be like. If you want to try something a little different, there are a few places that could be considered unique. They are not the mainstream so lots of tourists never hear of them or get the chance to check them out.
Hogs and Heifers Saloon was the original inspiration for the film Coyote Ugly. All the bartenders are women who carry around megaphones to enforce the rules. The bar really does have a strict no-whining policy. And don’t be surprised if you get yelled at by one of the ladies for ordering a fancy mixed cocktail or a snooty martini. If you’re ready to drink beer, take shots and mingle with some local roughnecks, then Hogs and Heifers is the place to be. Other times it’s nice to just go somewhere elegant and have a few drinks. The Artisan Hotel has been in Las Vegas for a long time. When you walk in, be sure to notice the ceiling covered with paintings by Monet, Da Vinci and Picasso. A musician in a Zoot-suit often plays Jazz on a saxophone while patrons relax in the cozy lounge. You won’t find much high-octane excitement at the Artisan, but if you’re looking for relaxation then it’s the place to be.
