Paris Nightlife – Top 10 things to do in Paris for lovers of nightclubs and nightlife
So you’re a clubber. You love the nightlife. The only reason you really want to visit Paris is to see the world-class clubs, cafes and cocktail bars and why not go shopping for some trendy club wear while you’re there. You want to hear the famous French Touch house music and see the sunrise over the Seine. But Paris is also the number one tourist destination in the world, so you’ve got to do a bit of due diligence and see at least a few tourist attractions, if only to show your friends and family that you really were in Paris. So here are the top ten most interesting things to do for night clubbers visiting Paris, including the top tourist attractions that should be of particular interest to you.
Palace of Versailles – The home of the French kings from Louis XIV to Louis XVI (and Marie Antoinette). This is undoubtedly the most extravagant palace in Europe and one of the most renowned in the world. At its height over 1000 nobles lived at Versailles, taking part in its social functions and playing games of political intrigue. If you like elegance, glamour, and extravagance, take a day off, get up early and go see Versailles.
The Louvre – The most famous museum in the world, the home of the Mona Lisa and countless other priceless works of art. You could spend a week exploring the Louvre, but since you’re in Paris for nightlife and the Louvre is centrally located, just head over for an afternoon after a late brunch. Take in the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Slaves of Michelangelo and a few other pieces that strike your fancy. The next time you visit a vernissage, you’ll be able to admire the art from a new point of view.
The Eiffel Tower – The Eiffel Tower needs little introduction. You should visit it so you have a photo of you with the Eiffel Tower in the background, it’ll be a good memento of your Paris nightlife trip. If you don’t choose to go up to one of the observation levels, you can also choose to go to Place de Trocadero which presents some of the best Eiffel Tower photo opportunities.
Café de Flore – While you could visit any café in Saint Germain, or cafes in many other neighborhoods in Paris for that matter, Saint Germain is renowned for being the favorite destination of intellectuals and artists. One of the most well known cafes in Saint Germain is the Café de Flore. You can eat a late brunch here or just stop by in the afternoon for a cup of coffe or early in the evening for a cocktail. Ideal for people watching, chilling out after shopping in Saint Germain, and also for a light lunch, Café de Flore was the hangout of the philosopher Jean Paul Sartre and his band of existentialists. Note that while the outdoor terrace is usually full, French noteworthies and regulars generally stay indoors or upstairs.
Stroll along the Champs-Elysées – Although the Champs-Elysées is no longer the Greatest Boulevard in the World, as it was immortalized in films like Godard’s Breathless ( A Bout de Souffle ), you should visit the Champs-Elysées in order to orient yourself, because Paris’ finest clubs are found along the Champs-Elysées and its side streets. Most of the shops and restaurants these days are chains, franchises and fast food but you’ll also find Louis Vuitton’s flagship store.
Place des Victoires – This list could be filled out by ten places to go shopping, but we’ll try to stay on track. So limit your specific shopping destination to the Place des Victoires. On the square itself and the side streets, are some of the city’s best shops and boutiques for buying club wear. You can also pick up numerous club flyers and party invitations in the same boutiques and the nearby trendy cafes
Visit a VIP Nightclub – Paris is home to some of the most exclusive nightclubs in the world. While a night out can be quite expensive, it can also be rewarding. The nightclubs along the Champs-Elysées can be the most difficult to get into. So if you don’t consider yourself a veteran of getting past the velvet rope, the best strategy is to go to a nice trendy cocktail bar, talk to the trendy people there and ask them where is the best place for YOU to go tonight. They will get the message and tell you where the entry is easiest or perhaps invite you to come along with them. Key destinations include: Queen, l’Etoile, Le Cab, VIP Lounge, Sens, Le Baron.
Cabaret – If you want to spend a quiet but spicy evening out, visit a Paris cabaret. Cabaret shows are Las Vegas style variety shows with bare breasted dancers, acrobats, and other exotic performers. The Moulin Rouge is a classic and the old standby, but the Lido, on the Champs-Elysées, is in the same vein but slightly more upscale. Slightly different, the Crazy Horse is a racier show, consisting entirely of almost totally nude women who perform choreographed dance while an artistic display of colored light dances across their bodies.
Theatre / Opera / Jazz Club – Choose according to the amount of time you have and your particular predilections. But every night of the week there is something to do in Paris. You’ll find some of the most magnificent Opera and theatre in the world. If you visit the theatre, you’ll need to be fairly fluent in French to follow, but even if you’re not, visiting a venue like the Théatre des Champs-Elysées can be a social event. When visiting the Opera, Opera Garnier is the obvious choice. With its Baroque architecture and capacity of over 2000 people, it offers nightly performances of opera and ballet. For either, you’ll want to dress to the nines. Paris also has a world-class Jazz offering, check out the New Morning or the Hot Brass for top international headliners.
Drive along the Quai de la Seine –At least once during your stay in Paris, at 4AM or 5AM, or whenever you’re heading home before dawn, take a taxi along the Quai de la Seine. If you head from the Champs-Elysees to Châtelet you’ll travel along the bank of the river. Seeing it at night, when all is quiet and the crowds have gone to sleep, is an unforgettable site and a romantic one too.
In the event that your night time activities don’t wear you out, or if your fortunate enough to have enough time to go out every night for a fortnight and still have days to spare, you can visit the standard offering of museums, restaurants and cultural attractions. And just in case you’ve got a long stay planned, get closer to the culture, and avoid the 6AM walk of shame past the hotel doorman, by choosing a short term Paris vacation rental.

Deciding Where to Go In Reno for Nightlife
When most people think of nightlife in Nevada, they automatically think of Las Vegas. While Las Vegas has come to be known by some as the party capital of the world, another city in Nevada offers an active nightlife for visitors and residents in the area. The first thing one must decide when wondering where to go in Reno for nightlife is what types of activities interest them. For some, nightlife is an everlasting party that doesn’t stop until dawn. For others, it is a quiet evening in a jazz bar, while some prefer to pass the time shooting pool or watching a movie. Whatever one prefers, their appetite for an enjoyable evening is often fulfilled by the city’s nightlife.
For those interested in a night in a bar atmosphere, Q’s Billiard Room may be what they’re looking for. With 15 pool tables and a wide selection of beer, patrons of this bar often find a fun atmosphere in which they can enjoy themselves with a group or just a few friends. On the other hand, those in the mood for dancing at a nightclub may find Bahia Nightclub a good start. Playing all kinds of Latin music, this nightclub has become a popular Reno destination. It is also a good place to have a couple of drinks among friends.
The Cube Bar offers a large cocktail menu and a place to unwind for residents after a day’s work or for tourists who are looking to grab a drink after a day’s worth of tourist activities and gaming. Both the Cube Bar and Bahia Nightclub may be classified as trendy bars and are popular among the gay and lesbian groups. However, Q’s Billiard Room offers a more relaxed ambiance.
There are, of course, many opportunities to gamble in the city, but there is also an active nightlife in Reno. Visitors trying to decide what to do in Reno for nightlife often find that gaming and a night out have become fused together in some respects. For example, The Vintage Court Bar is located in Harrah’s Hotel and Casino and offers a wide variety of wine selections.
Many websites are dedicated to helping visitors find the very best spots in the city. These websites act as a virtual concierge service in some respects, while many hotels offer a concierge for their guests as well. Viva Reno and enjoy your stay.

Experiencing the Las Vegas Nightlife
Vegas, it’s a city that truly never sleeps. Sure, there’s fun to be had during the day, but when the sun goes down, the action heats up.
Vegas is known for opening new clubs and party centers all the time. Because the competition is extremely tight, you and I win. No matter what type of venue you’re in the mood for, Las Vegas has it.
There’s the “come as you are” clubs and for the more refined individual, there’s the “VIP” clubs-the best dress is mandatory. It’s extremely common to see Hollywood stars at Vegas clubs too. For instance, one night Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves hit the Moon Nightclub at the Palms. It’s a star party in Vegas.
The Palms is becoming world famous as the party center in Las Vegas. Their club, The Rain, is definitely one of the best in the city. There are great special effects and the music is a combo of old-school hip-hop, rock, dance, and house. Don’t try to go during the week, because it’s only open on Friday and Saturday. There’s a cover charge as well.
Another good club in town is Pure at Caesars Palace. It also has a VIP lounge. At 36,000-square-feet, Pure is a big club with lots of action. As with the clubs at The Palms, you can expect to spot hot celebs at Pure at any given moment. You can also head out the Terrace, which is a section of Pure that’s outdoors. The views are spectacular.
You know what another great nightclub is? The LAX at the Luxor is a fun club if you’re into something different. It’s a decent sized nightclub too-about 26,000-square-feet. The theme of the LAX is Goth. The nightclub is two stories also, so there are plenty of areas to work your stuff. The sound system in this gothic nightclub is excellent. As with any other decent Las Vegas nightclub, the dress code is strictly enforced.
Let’s talk about that for a second. I’d highly recommend that you call whatever Las Vegas nightclubs you’re interested in before just showing up. The dress code rules vary wildly. What works at one club, won’t work at another. Show up in a suit at some clubs and you’re likely to be turned away. However, show up in business-casual dress at another and you’ll get the same result. Preparation is the key.
While I’ve talked about some of the upper-level nightclubs in Vegas, the city has tons of “average Joe” nightclubs. Show up in nice attire (nothing too fancy) and you’re all set. Most places have a cover charge and the “ladies are free” stuff only works at certain clubs. Your upper-level clubs are very picky and packed. It’s your usual club experience.
If you want a nightclub or nightlife experience off the Las Vegas Strip, check out the Red Rock Hotel & Casino in Summerlin. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the Strip and has some good action-like Cherry, their nightclub.
Next time you’re in Las Vegas, hit up one of these clubs.
