With the average Las Vegas nightclub cover charge ranging from $20 - $30 weeknights and up to $100 on the weekend. It can get very expensive to socialize and have a drink or two.
If you do your homework properly, you can have a great evening of dancing, entertainment and drinks without paying the hefty cover charge of nightclubs.
One of Las Vegas best kept secrets is the ultra lounge and bars. Every hotel along the Vegas strip has a free lounge. Some with nightly live entertainment and about 90 percent of them have no cover and no drink minimum. Just beware that seats are limited and fill up quickly so arrive early to ensure a seat.

It is harder for men to get into a club than women?
Yes, it's easier for women to get into a club in Vegas than it is for men. So don't get upset when a group of hot looking girls are let in while you are left standing out there in the cold.
What's the best way to get the doorman's attention?
Patience and politeness is the key here. Having a pretty girl by your side also helps. Yelling "hey dude" will definitely not get you into any decent Vegas club.
What's the deal with bottle service at Nightclubs, do I need one?
No, you don't need one. However if you want to feel like a true VIP, bottle service is the way to go. With bottle service comes the privacy of having your own table and attended to by your own personal waitress.
Dress code is strictly enforced at all Vegas night clubs. What does this mean?
This means, dress to impress and it also means, no shorts, no sneakers, or ball caps allowed.
