If you haven't taken note yet, Vegas currently is in the Gilded Age of nightlife. Never before has clubbing hit such a peak yet remained so accessible to the everyday party goer, raver, and music fan. If you're visiting Vegas just for the heck of it rather than a grand occasion like a bachelor or bachelorette party, and aren't as "blessed" as some of the upper echelons of American society then have no fear... we are here as your humble nightlife advisors to show you where to find the elusive nightclub "bottle deal" without reluctance.

It should come as no surprise that the Germans have us beat when it comes to hardcore drinking. But when you mix German drinking with Las Vegas partying, things are bound to get pretty wild. With over 5,000 different brands of German beer and strict regulations protecting the purity of German beer, it’s safe to say that beer is definitely ingrained in German culture. The German brew is a thing of beauty that is truly worthy of its world-renowned reputation.

Gentlemen, we've been in your position... you triple checked your bags, making sure not to forget a single thing (including toiletries), and you've arrived at the airport a couple hours ahead. Despite all this, you manage to land in Sin City somewhat desheveled and homely looking. That's right, you're not 100%... That mop on top of your head not only needs trimming, but it's also become a source of shame and scorn from your "crew".

For some strange reason, Vegas isn't always the first city one thinks of when it comes to Halloween. Maybe it's our lack of a true fall season, or maybe it's the fact that you can't imagine children trick or treating on The Strip. But Vegas is one of the best cities to celebrate Hallow's Eve. Only a few cities can match the eerie vibes that the desert landscape provides. Perhaps only the ghostly swamps of New Orleans can compete. That being said, nothing tops Sin City when it comes to celebrating Halloween as an adult.

Many did not expect this past Labor Day Weekend in Las Vegas to have such a phenomenal turnout, but  an estimated 315,000 visitors checked in to Sin City hotels over the 3-day holiday. Many last minute vacationers were met with sold out pool parties and nightclubs attempting to squeeze in wherever they could. Not to mention the eclectic artist lineups... It seems that every Hip-Hop artist that has ever had a hit single was either hosting or performing at the various nightclubs and day parties across the strip.
