Las Vegas is known for taking many things to the extreme, and the nightclub scene may be one of the best examples. Vegas' clubs, particularly those located along the Strip, are enormous, lavish, high-tech and frequented by actors, rock stars and other celebrities. High cover charges and long velvet rope lines are common, but if you're looking for the ultimate clubbing experience, it's well worth the wait while in Vegas.
