Body English (Hard Rock)

Body English is the super hip club inside the Hard Rock.  It is very difficult to get it but find someone to get you on the list.  It is worth it!  It has two main levels with bars on each level.  The VIP areas are upstairs on the sides and the dance is on the lower level.  The clientele is young and HOT.  I was the old man at the club but still had a great time taking in the scenery.  The bartenders are superb and amazingly remembered what my buddy and I were drinking each time we returned for another round.  They spray the dance floor down with a CO2 mist or something every 30 minutes which cools the place quickly and creates a moment when no one can see anything.  A nice special effect.  This is THE place to be seen and to have a great time.  (Much thanks to CD, CL, and JR for getting me and my friend into this top shelf club!)

PURE (Caesars)

 View from the top of PURE looking down the strip....

PURE is the new club at Caesars and it ranks a very close second to Body English.  It has multiple different areas and several levels.  There is a standard technobeat dance floor and bar on the main floor that was super crowded on Friday and Saturday night.  There is also a dark lounge area with private little booths.  Anything goes in those areas.  The PussyCat Dolls also perform in another area.  Finally, there is a rooftop spot that looks straight down the strip.  It was a great place to cool off after being inside the club.  Clearly, this place rocks but it was too crowded and trying to get from area to area was rather difficult at peak time.  Don't get me wrong, I had a great time there and SHAQ was in the house Saturday night.  Thanks to Phil and Antonio for getting me in.

Light (Bellagio)

Light at the Bellagio is another super hot club.  It is, however, quite small when compared to PURE or BE.  It is therefore, quite difficult to get it.  Thanks again to Phil for making me part of his family entourage and sliding me under the velvet rope.  Inside are VIP booths sounding an excellent dancefloor.  The people again are high end in terms of money and looks.  A must stop for all players if possible.

Mix (Mandalay Bay)

Mix is the new club at the top of THE hotel inside Mandalay Bay.  It is much easier to get into than either BE or PURE.  The club itself is decked out in a modern theme and the people are ready to party.  The views from the top of the hotel are killer but most of the space is reserved for VIPs.  Mix is a great place for dinner as well.  Downside is limited bathroom space especially for women. 

Moorea (Mandalay Bay)

Moorea is the topless pool area at Mandy.  At night it turns into ultra-lounge.  Great place to high outside on a hot night and enjoy the go-go dancers in the pool.  (not topless).  I think it competes with Tabu (MGM) very well especially if you don't like a smoky environment.  Go there late night for some crazy amazing times.

That's my top five.  Let me know what yours is and I'll post some comments.  Also send in some pix.
