Las Vegas nightlife is something to write home about. You’ll never be bored checking out the dance clubs in Las Vegas. If you have the money to spend, it’s worth checking out many of these night clubs for dancing.
Las Vegas seems to always be alive. During the day, you’ll find people at the many pools located throughout the Las Vegas hotels on the Las Vegas strip. You might find people in the lazy river or underneath a cascading waterfall. Gambling doesn’t stop during the day, and grandma can still be found at her favorite slot machine. Las Vegas shopping comes to life, with all sorts of stores that sell purses, Harley Davidson gear, evening gowns, and of course wedding gowns and tuxedos.
Las Vegas at night is even more memorable. You’ll find the casinos alive with those hoping to make their first million on the slot machines or at Black Jack. Restaurants like Shibuya’s Hibachi Grill in MGM Grand will be filled with people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a single delicious meal. And then you have the nightlife. Dancing is at its best in Las Vegas. This article will expllore five of the best places to go dancing in Las Vegas.
1. Centrifuge, located in the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This night club is basically a circle. It is in the middle of the MGM Grand hotel, surrounded by everything. What I love about this night club is that every half an hour or so, dancers get up on the bar and perform dance routines to some really cool music. This club is not as geared towards customers dancing, but some do. However, I put this at the top of the dance list because it’s the most unforgettable dance club I saw while in Las Vegas. The dancers have choreographed dances and sometimes also dance freestyle.
No one under 21 is allowed into Centrifuge. There is no dj, just music. The music has an ultra-modern metropolitan vibe, which is somewhat progressive. The club is open from 4 pm through the week and at 12 noon on Friday and Saturday, staying open late into the night as you would expect in Las Vegas! The dress code is casual. The best part about this club other than the dancing is the fruit-infused cocktails.
The ambience is relaxed, yet hip. There are plush lounge couches and seats at the bar. You want to arrive early, because on weekends most of the couches and comfortable chairs fill up! Centrifuge has no cover charge.
2. Studio 54, also located at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. (Let me just say now, that if you want the ultimate dance and nightlife scene, you can just visit the MGM Grand and check out any of their night clubs. You won’t be disappointed.) Studio 54 is a take on the original Studio 54 club that came alive in the 1970’s. They’ve just taken it up a notch and made things even wilder. The ambience is retro and very hip and exciting! You feel as if you’re at a disco. Recall the moving Stayin’ Alive with John Travolta, and the dance club they used for their weekend rendezvous.
On Tuesday evenings, there is a locals party for those in the industry. It feautures DJ Leo Treo, who is also the DJ other evenings. During this event, you can see a behind the scenes dance party from those who work in the business. Studio 54 is open Tuesday through Saturday, starting at 10 pm. No one under 21 can be admitted. You are unable to dress casually to enter. The expected attire is club wear.
Studio 54 has four dance floors and bars, with state of the art sound and lighting. You get 22,000 square feet of night club. The second floor is for exclusive guests only. The music is high energy, and there are live dancers as well as wall walkers. I like the music because it is mostly top 40, so I tend to be familiar with everything I hear. I also enjoy reliving the 70’s, because that’s when I was growing up.
The cover charge at Studio 54 is $20 per person on weekend nights. On Tuesday through Thursday, Nevada residents can enter for $10, but if you’re from another state, you’ll pay $20.
3. Tabu at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. What’s awesome about Tabu is that the servers are actually models. If you are looking to be waiting on by a beautiful model, this is the place to go for your Las Vegas dancing. The DJ’s are also internationally renowned. The music gives a casual vibe to it. The ambience of Tabu is dark but colorful. The mood set is calm and soothing, but with an upbeat theme. Tabu actually won awards for the Best Lounge club systems in 2004 to 2006.
No one under 21 is able to enter Tabu. You also can’t come in with casual clothes, as club wear is required. The club is open Thursday to Monday at 10 pm. On Monday nights at Tabu, it is industry night. DJ Roctakon plays every evening. The cover charge at Tabu is $10 for women and $20 for men, each evening.
4. The Rumjungle at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, located at 3950 Las Vegas Boulevard. The Rumjungle is great because you can also order food. Dinner is served on flaming skewers, for a tropical menu. It costs $20 to enter Thursday through Saturday, and $10 Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The atmosphere is electric and upbeat. You can actually smoke inside this bar. The DJ is Electronica. You must dress to impress, as no casual attire is permitted. What makes this club distinct is the different rums from all over the world. The age is 21 and over.
5. Jet Nightclub at the Mirage Hotel and Casino. The Jet Nightclub makes the list of the top five places in Las Vegas to go dancing because it has three different rooms that feature different types of music. Each one of the three rooms has its own dance floor and sound system. One room features top forty dance music such as rock and hip-hop. A second room has 80’s and rock music. The third room has international DJ’s with house music. The Mirage is open Friday and Saturday nights, with no admission charges for women. On Mondays, it is service industry night.
While Jet Nightclub is always packed and full of energy, you will pay a premium for the drinks. Make sure you have the money to spend if you visit this high cost club. The ambience is lively and bustling. It’s like any crowded dance club. This is somewhere to go if you really want to get into dancing and don’t mind crowds. Dress to impress, and be at least 21 to visit Jet Nightclub.
