Tryst
The crowd skews toward the fortysomething set at this opulent subterranean dance club. Stiff, awkward men in suits outnumber the glam young things who worship on the dance floor. Feeling flushed? Step outside for a spritz on the waterfall patio.

Cherry
Drawing a suburbanite crowd, Cherry is alluringly covered in lipstick-red and chocolate-brown leather. Feel an all-digital sound system throbbing through the soles of your feet on the smallish circular dance floor, then head outside to the poolside cabanas for more glam lounging. Take a peek at the playful restrooms before you leave. If the line looks too long, though, go for cocktails instead in the casino’s Rocks Lounge, where red-hot big band Zowie Bowie often plays.

Empire Ballroom
Though rundown, it’s still a DJ-driven weekend after-hours party spot (cover $20). Live sounds by acts like Veruca Salt and The Killers are occasionally heard inside this warehouse-sized club, where a psychedelic chandelier hangs above the raised dance floor. Rave kids chugging Red Bulls lounge on tatty couches upstairs. Whatever you do, do not drive here. Walking over from the MGM Grand monorail station is best.

Playboy Club
A short glass-and-mirror elevator ride away from the Playboy Club, this futuristic penthouse has a surreal moon roof that retracts as you find your groove in the laser-lit fog on the dance floor below. Glass tiles change color with the mood and beat of the music, whether DJs are spinning hip hop, rock or pop and retro mash-ups. Dress to impress.

Vanity
Stylin’ like a rock star, this chic nightclub has famous faces hanging in VIP rooms, while hoi-polloi masses bump to hip-hop, house and rock tunes around the ‘cyclone’ crystal chandelier and on the onyx catwalk. Thursday’s ‘Godskitchen’ and Sunday’s ‘Sin’ are big nights here. Free beauty-salon touch-ups in the ladies’ room (remember to tip).

Jet
A sophisticated tri-environment club, Jet once broke the sound barrier in racing to the creamy top of the Strip’s nightlife scene. Follow the flickering candles and a staircase made for strutting onto the throbbing dance floor, or sidle into more intimate lounges where the beats run to deep house and hip hop. Stylish attire required.

Studio 54
Like a flawed remake of a great film, this unpretentious three-story club fails to capture the magic that existed at the New York nightspot of the same name. The décor is industrial and the grooves are always Top-40 chart toppers. Inside, tourists are wondering where all the glamorous people went. Relaxed dress code.

Xs
Snakeskin banquettes, ultrasuede sofas, a glittering chandelier and arty gold facades adorn this luxe club. Settle in with your all-hours entourage at a VIP cabana by the outdoor lagoon, where dancing divas kick off their heels and make a splash on hot summer nights. DJs are mostly mainstream. Dress to impress.

Dylan’s Dance Hall & Saloon
A real-live honky-tonk place, with line dancing and two-stepping that makes it seem more like Nashville than Sin City. Show up early for free dance lessons from 7pm to 9pm. There’s never a cover charge, and lovely ladies flyin’ solo will have no trouble lassoing themselves a real cowboy pardner.

Foundation Room
House of Blues’ exclusive club atop M-Bay hosts after-show parties in a luxurious lounge with gothic and Indian-temple decor. Celebs such as Andre Agassi hold court, while DJs and special events like Monday’s Godspeed enliven the vibe. Call in advance to get on the VIP guest list.

Gold Lounge
Inspired by Elvis Presley’s Memphis mansion, this deluxe black-and-gold nightspot has horsehair chairs, a stallion lamp that just begs to be ridden (just kidding!) and steerhorns hanging over the bar. DJs keep takin’ care of business, as the King would say, all night. Fashionable attire required.

Rain
Britney Spears once threw an impromptu concert while partying at this long-time survivor club. The bamboo dance floor appears to float on a layer of fountains, while fog and pyrotechnics set the partyin’ mood. International jet-set DJ Paul Oakenfold currently spins here on many Saturday nights.

The Bank
A celeb hangout since the day it opened, the posh reincarnation of Light nightclub is cloaked in royal-purple curtains and chandeliers. Lavish multitiered VIP booths are layered around a glass-enclosed dance floor where high-NRG pop and hip-hop mixes dominate. Upscale dress code.

Pure
With gorgeous female DJs, this chic modern club electrifies with its hues of electric blue, white and silver. Crowds of fine young thangs lounge inside a labyrinth of rooms that feel a lot like LA, and which lead to a gorgeous Strip-view patio. Strict dress code.

Krāve
The Strip’s only gay club is a glam place packed wall-to-wall with hard bodies, plush booth seating, VIP cabanas and even ‘airotic’ flyboys. The side lounge has salsa, goth and Candybar girls-only nights. Saturday’s after-hours party revs up after 4am.

Drai’s
Ready for a scene straight outta Hollywood? Things don’t really get going until after 4am here, when DJs spinning progressive discs keep the fashion plates who drape themselves on overstuffed sofas from being too discontented. Strict dress code.

Lax
Strut your stuff inside this vaguely gothic nightclub. VIP tables border the dance floor that’s like an airport runway between two giant bars. Nights hosted by Hollywood A-listers and socialites are pulse-pounding.
