Las Vegas is undeniably a massive party destination, and the party hotels in Las Vegas are perfect for all kinds of celebrations, from birthday and bachelorette parties to boys-only weekends. Regardless of whether your ideal Las Vegas party weekend is filled with wild nights of dancing and debauchery or a sophisticated celebration in the most upscale social environment – the Vegas party hotels offer something for every kind of celebrating visitor.

For the best party hotels in Vegas, look no further than the ever-busy main drag known as the Strip. Filled with massive hotels  and a plethora of nightclubs, casinos, swank lounges, and extravagant shows inside them, the Strip is definitely the place to be for a Las Vegas party to remember. The Vegas party hotels on the Strip are known for their fantastic nightclubs, and in general the classier the hotel, the hotter the nightclubs and party scene are.

Several of the best party hotels in Vegas are clustered together on the strip. The Luxor's LAX nightclub has Christina Aguilera and DJ AM as investment partners, so it is no wonder it draws celeb sightings. Bust a move on its over-sized dance floor or sip your cocktails in the VIP lounges and spacious VIP lofts. Next door at the Mandalay Bay are Foundation Room and Eye Candy. Also nearby is the hot, high-end Studio 54 Las Vegas at MGM Grand, with popular VIP sections and frequent celeb visits. Across the street from MGM Grand is New York New York, another one of the legendary party hotels in Las Vegas with its rowdy Coyote Ugly Club. There, barmaids dance on top of the bar and only shots and beer are served. For a different atmosphere, New York New York also has the elegant Big Apple Bar.

Further down the strip are another cluster of the best party hotels in Vegas. The massive Bellagio is home to the snazzy Bank nightclub, and the exclusive Pure at Caesars Palace Las Vegas is a major celeb hub, with upscale décor, luxurious VIP rooms, and an outdoor terrace. Paris has the sophisticated Risque nightclub, while the Mirage is home to the Jet Nightclub, with three rooms of crowded and relatively unpretentious clubbing, a great place to dance and mix and mingle. To keep the party going after hours, lounge in the sexy, split-level TAO at the Venetian.

At the end of the strip, the elegantly high-end Wynn Las Vegas is attractive for a more upscale Las Vegas party. Here you will find the Tryst nightclub, with dance floors, three bars, plenty of high-end clientele from the Wynn, not to mention a waterfall.  Also in the Wynn is the Blush boutique nightclub, with its understated and sensual lounge environment.

While you do not have to be a guest at one of these Vegas party hotels to gain admission to their bars and clubs, in some cases showing your room card will get you into your hotel's club free of charge. In general however, clubbing in Las Vegas requires paying a cover charge, which is typically higher for the gents than the ladies. VIP service costs a pretty penny, but has its cushy benefits, allowing you to bypass the often long lines outside and reserve a table or other special spot inside.

The party hotels in Las Vegas are thrilling places to be for special occasions. If you are planning on a Las Vegas party around the holidays, such as New Year's, or during a major event, be sure to plan far and advance and book reservations because the Vegas party hotels do become pretty packed. Lastly, don't forget to dress to impress, as many clubs have a dress code to maintain a fancy vibe.
