Occasion: The All-Weekend Party

 

So, you want to spend all your time partyin', eh? We salute you. Follow our plan and you'll have a weekend you'll never forget (or never remember).

Q: There's a bunch of us heading to Vegas for a wild weekend. Where's the best place to stay?

A: Ah, you want atmosphere? We'll give you atmosphere. Stepping into the Rio is like a party in itself. All the rooms are suites here, so you and your buddies can hang out in style -- and be close to a number of great restaurants and bars. Another hotel conducive to the partier is the Hard Rock -- with all the rock stars, celebrities and party types, you'll feel right at home. You'll find this vibe at The Palms as well. If you have enough juice -- or more likely, cash -- you can book one of the Palms' Fantasy Suites, which offer such unrivaled amenities as a DJ booth, Show Shower™ (with stripper pole), rotating bed, walk-in closet or pool table.

Q: I'm looking for a nonstop party. This means no boring restaurants. Where should I go to eat?

A: Would we send you to a boring restaurant? Of course not. We've got just the thing -- Kahunaville at Treasure Island. Boy, is this place a treasure for partiers. There's flair bartenders and a party atmosphere throughout. You may never want to leave. Mr. Lucky's at the Hard Rock also is a great spot. You can sit and watch the world go by. Plus, it's open 24 hours. And it can get quite loud. Try Social House at TI; its eclectic decor and secluded rooms might seem quiet, but its bar scene is hopping. Plus, for a restaurant where even the servers are having a great time partying it up, don't miss Dick's Last Resort at the Excalibur. Consider yourself warned though -- that one's not for the faint of heart!

Q: So, then, what are the hottest spots to party at?

A: Here are some absolute musts: Pure at Caesars Palace remains not only one of the top nightclubs in Vegas but also the world, drawing packed crowds and Hollywood's youngest and hottest stars every week. Its sister club LAX never fails to bring in the crowds, either. Tao at the Venetian is another celebrity favorite, offering a sharp contrast to Pure's Miami Beach-inspired design with a Zen-influenced setting. But don't let the statues of Buddha fool you -- when the club opens its doors, Tao is all about the party. Try the Palms, where the always-popular ghostbar overlooks the city from 55 stories high while  Rain Las Vegas packs 'em in on the ground floor of the casino -- you'll catch some of the top rock 'n' roll acts performing here as well. You should also check out the wild Body English and Studio 54, modeled after the famous New York nightclub.

But wait, there's more: You can take advantage of our best connections at Coyote Ugly and many more.

Q: Where are the after-hours clubs?

A: You couldn't call yourself an after-hours partier if you didn't hang out at Drai's.

Q: What's open 24 hours?

A: You're in Vegas, baby. The whole town is open 24 hours, but for a true party try Vegas' greatest dive, the Double Down which serves you around the clock.

That should do ya. Of course, you'll always be able to, at any time, get a drink in the casino. And, hey, if you know ahead of time you're coming into town, check out our packages for the best rate on hotel rooms, airfare and more. It's guaranteed!
