Top 6 Las Vegas Clubs for Dancing Until the Sun Comes Up

Posted on by SP Models Entertainment

When you’re in Las Vegas you need the very best entertainment possible. I personally enjoy sitting by the pool and cleaning out my navel but I’m sure that you will need the kind of Las Vegas entertainment that will make your in-laws blush. So take a look at some of the best Las Vegas nightclubs. But, make sure you clean that thing out before you get here.

1. RumJungle at the Mandalay Bay Hotel
Feel the pulsating sounds as they surround your senses and see the rhythm of the music in the choreographed moves of the dances high above. The Atmosphere is electric and will inspire you to have a wild night. rumjungle will keep you going all night.

2. V Bar
If you feel the need to shower, shave and wear perfume or cologne, this is the spot for you. Let me tell you up front that this is a classy place, so, you might feel out of place. Do what I do, order one very expensive drink and hover over it for the entire night. When the waitress comes over to see how you’re doing give her that, “a great drink must be savored” look. You will fit right in.

3. The Whiskey Bar
Any place that’s free to get into I love! Imagine paying $20 to get in only to have to pay $12 for a drink. Not at this place. Sit by the pool and snuggle right next to that special someone you just met at the bar. Get to know each other before you start rubbing belly’s.

4. Tangerine at the Treasure Island Las Vegas
An outdoor club that looks out on to the Las Vegas strip is really the only way to go. At Tangerine you get to see the Sirens of TI show, live entertainment and a great view of the Las Vegas strip.

5. The Peppermill
You can’t say anything bad about the Peppermill because to me it is just a notch below what heaven would be like. It’s a the ultimate lounge without the silicone beauties acting pretentious. Have a drink and sit by the fire or dissolve into one of the booths. This is the place to people watch in Las Vegas.

6. Pure at Caesars Palace Las Vegas
The VIP rooms are top notch and expensive and the decor is very high end. The big draw for me is the outdoor terrace with the great views. Late summer nights and early fall should be good. Pure Las Vegas is where all the good looking people will be until the next big thing comes along. However, find your way to the terrace and live it up Las Vegas style

Suhaili While Still Student

suhaili-mini.jpg

Malaysian Ministry of Art, Heritage and Culture Scholarship recipient
(Bachelor of Dance: Honours – University of Melbourne, Australia)

I have been dancing since I was four years old. That’s what happens when your mother owns a dance school. Being a ballet teacher, my mother had dreams for me to become a prima ballerina. As such, I was initially trained in classical ballet but I have since chosen to major in contemporary dance instead.

My parents chose to send me to Australia to pursue dance studies because its only an 8 hour flight from Malaysia. After careful surveying, I enrolled in the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School (VCASS) as it offered a part dance and part academic education. I was the first Malaysian international student ever enrolled at VCASS. Upon graduation, I then enrolled in the Bachelor of Dance at the Victorian College of the Arts.

Initially it was hard to leave my family to study in Australia. I had quite a big culture shock when I first got here but it has since subsided. It is a challenge to attend a university where one is not spoon fed. At the VCA, no one forces you to do anything. This has taught me to set goals and make things happen. However, that is not to say that dance studies at the VCA are easy. It is actually quite full on and requires a lot of dedication.

[youtube_sc url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boqfhzJy0zk”]

Besides that, my studies here at the VCA have given me the opportunity to be more creative as we are encouraged to use the craziest things as inspiration for our dancing. I have also learnt to be more articulate in expressing my opinions and giving critiques. I would say that the VCA pushes you do the things you want to do and gives you the confidence to do it. In addition, Melbourne is a very encouraging place for young, independent artists.

In my free time, I do some commercial dancing for KAMI Performing Arts to earn some extra money. I am also involved with the Chunky Move Dance Company, the Bangarra Dance Company and the Odyssey Dance Company. As a dancer, it is important to be toned, so I do Pilates whenever I can to strengthen my back.

In terms of future plans, one of my goals is to get a position in the dance department of the Malaysian government and help establish a formal dance education for local dance students. There is little or no dance education available in Malaysia and even less of a dance scene. I would like to create a performing arts school in Malaysia and help Malaysians develop a higher appreciation for dance.

My advice for prospective dance students is if you really know this is what you want to do with your life then just go for it and have no regrets. In life, every little thing counts so make it worthwhile.
