PURE at Caesars Palace

PURE is a certifiable celebrity magnet—a prominent British clothier recently dropped $176,000 here. Patrons can generally get in for under a few grand, but it's common to spend $20-$50k for a premium night out. Get an oversized bed above the dance floor, seek refined privacy in the Red Room, or party on the Terrace.

TAO at the Venetian

The entry hall sets the tone here; it usually features a startling display of lingerie-clad models painting henna tattoos on one another. The nude model in the rose petal strewn bathtub is another giveaway. Warm up with dinner alongside a giant Buddha downstairs at Tao restaurant before heading up to this sexy Asian escape.

JET at Mirage

This mega-club boasts three main areas: a techno and trance floor, a hip-hop room, and the main room, which features the all important VIP tables. JET even has (brace yourself) V-VIP areas. One sits prominently on a raised stage with seven tables, and another sits behind the DJ booth with six tables.

Light at Bellagio

The doormen here select who can enter into Vegas' first "European Bottle Service Club." VIPs who prefer anonymity over showing off their wealth come here and ask for the blue room, while those want to want to enjoy the entertainment choose the main room. A Methuselah (six liters) of Dom Pérignon Champagne ($25,000) and a Rémy Martin Louis XIII ($14,500) are available, just ask.

Body English at Hard Rock

Only the most fashionable will pass. Of the 57 tables, get one downstairs where the VIPs and celebrities loiter (the three "U booths" around the dance floor are the most popular). Jamie Foxx and Chris Tucker decided to stop over Memorial Day weekend. Wednesdays is an industry night devoted to house music.

Tryst at Wynn

Tryst boasts a 90-foot waterfall and a lagoon-themed atmosphere. Since it's a partially open-air club, the outside breeze gives the dancers at Tryst a little extra lift. The most desirable tables are those on the dancefloor, near the obligatory stripper pole and outside by the waterfall.

Studio 54 at MGM Grand

This is a 22,000 square-foot, high-energy club where VIPs can be voyeurs—the tables that look down on the dance floor. Half nightclub, half Cirque du Soleil act, Studio 54 also features "wall walkers" and dancers twirling above the bouncing dance floor. Look up, that's confetti (not money) raining down on you.

Moon, Playboy Club at Palms

The Playboy Club has its bunnies, while Moon has its views—a retractable ceiling opens up to the night sky every half hour. Both clubs are perched 53 stories high in the Palms Fantasy Towers. $14,000 gets you a three-liter double magnum bottles of Cristal, and a friendly visit from a hostess.

Rain at Palms

Not the newest club in town, but still very popular. Expect long lines, a dancefloor surrounded by a water mote, go-go dancers on swings, and the occasional fire blast. A great place to come if you want to meet friendly visitors. There are plenty of VIP tables and skyboxes for preferred service.
