The LasVegasWeekly.com Exceptional Essentials of Nightlife Awards

A shiny trophy signifies excellence in almost anything!

Update **The voting period has been extended until Wednesday, March 15 at midnight.**

Sorry, folks. Vegas was shunned at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami when Pure lost the “Best US Club” title to Pacha (New York). We only took home a few Club World Award disco ball trophies as well: Tabu for best lounge and best bottle service; Body English won best sound, and Rok Vegas was awarded for best video system.

But here at the Weekly, we’ve decided to recognize some of Vegas’ hot spots for the finer details that go into making partying possible. Readers can vote for clubs/bars in the following categories to earn venues honor, glory and a few totally random titles to put on flyers and websites (if they’re so inclined). Because, hey, life is all about the little things. Happy voting! (Click your browser's "back" button after voting for each entry to weigh in on other categories.)

Pure by far has the most nightlife to offer, more rooms with different music and vibes; great strip view on the roof!
