Las Vegas has plenty of options for pleasure seekers when the sun goes down. From dance spots to production shows to comedy clubs, Sin City has a little bit of something for everyone. Bring your wallet and enjoy a night out on the town.

The Joint
This popular music club at the ultra hip Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas has hosted a bevy of acts from Bob Dylan to David Bowie, the Eagles and Green Day. Carlos Santana is now playing a semi-regular gig there.
