THE SPOT Tao Nightclub and Asian Bistro
THE SCOOP It's no wonder that Jennifer Lopez recently celebrated Marc Anthony's birthday at Tao–the Vegas outpost of this popular N.Y.C. restaurant has become the go-to place for celebrities who want to dine and party the night away. The Asian-inspired nightclub boasts a Monk bar with hundreds of imported statuettes, an outdoor terrace with stunning views of the Strip, and a dance floor on which Madonna has boogied. Downstairs at the Asian Bistro, celebrities have feasted on Kobe sirloin and lobster wontons under Tao's signature 20-foot floating Buddha.

THE SCOOP Another reason to visit the Wynn, Vegas's latest hotel hot spot, is to check out its nightclub, Tryst. Resident DJ Justin Hoffman spins a variety of house, hip-hop and pop tracks above an open-air sunken dance floor (complete with a dance pole), which opens up to a 90-foot waterfall that cascades into a secluded lagoon. Try a Love Triangle, a vodka-and-pineapple concoction, or opt for European bottle service. Table service is highly recommended. The cover charge is $30.
