Heaven forgive me for the sins I have committed In Las Vegas. I am not sure if there is a commandment that goes ‘Thou Shall not Indulge’, but I am quite sure my trip to Las Vegas wasn’t what you would call ‘righteous.’ Ironically, the Eden of the world, where you find the best of everything, is also the ‘Sin City’. This place has got it all – Bars, Nightclubs, Strip Clubs, and other forms of entertainment that transport you to another world! One trip to Las Vegas can rejuvenate you like only an elixir can. And, there is no better place than Las Vegas, if you are seeking wholesome fun.

I am not surprised that Vegas is called the ‘adult playground’. If you are over 21 and you are looking to relive the wildest days of your life, Vegas wouldn’t disappoint you. At Vegas, you experience the art of adult entertainment at its best. The ‘Entertainment Capital of the World’ boasts of the best nightclubs around the globe. You can visit nightclub after nightclub and still not get bored or exhausted. Nightclubs here can range from stylish to laid-back. So, you can choose a nightclub suiting your palate and experience the hottest action. One of the best hotels for Las Vegas Nightlife is the MGM Grand. If you are lucky, you could catch some of the hottest people in action, performing for concerts hosted by their arenas. And this is not all. The MGM Grand houses luxurious pools, salon and world famous casinos that make your stay memorable.

For the wildest action, you can visit the Strip Clubs here. With a plethora of Strip Clubs lined up in Vegas, it is very hard to resist stepping into one of the exotic dance dens and letting your animal instincts loose. However, if you wish to have some classic fun at a strip club, without the waitresses hounding you, you could opt for the Club Paradise, situated just opposite the Hard Rock Hotel. The Club Paradise is not exactly what you would call a gentleman’s club. It is probably more of an ultra lounge that avoids the bump-and-grind, characteristic of other strip clubs. The girls here are not too pushy. On the contrary, they are warm, conversational and a lot subtler. An alternative to the Club Paradise is the Eden’s Gentleman Club. And, if you are looking for something more boisterous and in-your-face, then you would have no problem choosing from the innumerable hustle and bustle clubs.

If you are forbidden from entering strip clubs, then you could try a more acceptable form of entertainment – the Bars. Vegas is home to some of the best and most famous bars in the world. The variety offered here is unbeatable. The Eclectic drinker can choose from classic cocktails in a swank ambience to a wonderful signature drink in some of the best bars in town. The Sidebar in Downtown, the Ghostbar at the Palms, Red Square in Mandalay Bay and the V-Bar are some of the best places in Vegas to hang out.

After a few wild nights in the hottest places in town, you would want to detox and pamper yourself in the divine tranquility of a Spa. You could treat yourself with a soothing massage, an invigorating scrub or indulge in an exquisite body treatment. Spas are always good for the ultimate relaxation before heading into the mad and hectic world you come from.

Las Vegas has the best of everything, for every kind of person. In Vegas, there is not a single moment of ennui. When in Vegas, set your soul free and experience the ultimate ecstasy.

Food might be the last thing on your mind when you go to Vegas. When you visit this place, all you are thinking of is entertainment. Yet, it is undeniable that Las Vegas is one of the best ‘dine-n-wine’ places. There are so many restaurants in Vegas that it is a huge challenge to be able to pick one. The quality and the unbelievable variety that Vegas offers will definitely appeal to your taste buds.

There are some restaurants in Vegas that you must not miss. One such place is the Enoteca San Marco at the Venetian Hotel in the Grand Canal Shoppes.

When in Las Vegas, you must go for the best. The best steak in Vegas is offered by Strip Steak at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. You wouldn’t be surprised to know that the steak here turns out to be the best since the cooks employ an ingenious method to roast the beef. All the talk about wood-burning grills and slow poaching chambers went over my head but I relished some great, tender steak. The wine made sure that I was hungry as a monster. By the time I stepped out of the restaurant, I was stuffed with some lovely steak and a splendid eating experience.

Absolutely surreal! Las Vegas is the perfect destination if you wish to break free from the monotony of your corporate life. No presentations to make, no nagging bosses and no rules to bind you. You get transported to the zany world of Vegas the moment you land here. And for the next few days, you forget who you are. When you are at the ‘Sin City’, entertainment is at its best.

If it is spirits that you seek, Vegas is the right place. In Vegas, the action never stops. Bars never close and if you are looking to drink all-night long, then there is nobody around to stop you. However, forget about driving to your hotel room sloshed, because drunken driving is a no-no even here. Well, that’s a small price to pay for all the fun. The best part is - drinks are free in the Casino as long as you are holding on to your cards.

They are known as the Big 7 among the bars in Las Vegas. If you are a connoisseur and you don’t mind the hole in your pocket, you must pay a visit to these bars.

A classic combination of flat bread and a Martini and a lovely view of the Las Vegas Strip will make a wonderful afternoon.

If it is unadulterated Vegas that you seek, you must drop in at the Peppermill. Order the bar’s signature drink, the Scorpion and find yourself in a completely different era.

The Tequila Bar at Bally’s is the best place to go, if you love Margarita. This place offers a wide selection of Tequila and is also a lovely choice for Mescal shots.

If it is rum, it has to be wild. Step in to the Rumjungle at the Mandalay Bay and you will know what I mean. Loud and crowded, yet a good place for a bottle or two. And then you can go yo-ho!

Beer and a big bowl of Irish stew is an unbeatable combo. Drive down to the Nine Fine Irishmen and make your evening memorable.

The Red Square at Mandalay Bay Hotel is a divine place. The décor, the ambience, the patrons, the ice bar and of course, the drinks are simply the best in Vegas. A glass of Vodka here and you probably would never want to leave this place.

If you thought the bars in Vegas are only for the boisterous, you may be wrong. Step in to Delmonico’s at the Venetian Hotel for some great wine and a beautiful evening.

More than the drinks, it is the Vegas experience that will intoxicate you. Visit Vegas and you would never want to go back to the claustrophobic cabin of yours at office.
