In case you’ve been in a coma, stuck in your cubicle or completely oblivious to what a good time in Vegas is, Sunday Night Swim is back in affect. Ridiculous SPLASH wars and champagne spraying are once again the Sunday norm. So ladies grab your bikini’s and fellas grab your trunks, feel free to dance, drink, mingle and then repeat each Sunday as Afrojack and other legendary DJs of the Las Vegas Strip spin as you sin.

One word two syllables, Diplo. The Monday night industry party at XS never disappoints, especially when Diplo hosts the evening. Below are some of the images from the night featuring Diplo himself and another Las Vegas Strip DJ legend, Afrojack, along with some of the beautiful faces you may recognize from the Las Vegas nightlife.

The HOT 100 is one of the most talked about bikini competitions on the Las Vegas Strip. Each Friday guests are treated to many varieties of eye candy wearing next to nothing just for a shot at a crap ton of money which is divvied up between the top three contestants. Last Friday was just as much a treat as the Friday before it.

The madness didn’t end on Friday with the HOT 100. Steve Aoki, one of Las Vegas’ hottest DJs, put on an insane set in front of thousands of guests Saturday. He also did his signature crowd cake, surf and champagne shower.
Aoki’s sets are nothing short of legendary and they’re absolutely one thing you must experience before you can say you’re a Las Vegas nightlife or day club veteran.

Wet Republic never ceases to amaze. This venue absolutely owns the south of the Strip at the moment and has paved the way to Angel Management Groups mega-nightclub, Hakkasan. It is because of Wet Republic that we’re seeing such emphasis of concert-like parties. On this particular Sunday, Tiesto was on the 1’s & 2’s performing before thousands and his set was nothing short of amazing.

So Benny Benassi was in town last weekend and he shredded Marquee Dayclub into bits and pieces! The sea of hands and jumping heads went bananas to the electro sounds and beats of Benassi. The Insomniac event “Wet Wonderland� will be in full affect over the summer, so party hard my friends.

Marquee Mondays, those two words are synonymous with a great time. Mondays at Marquee Nightclub are like a Friday or Saturday at Marquee Nightclub. The party is outrageous, sexy and one of the best times you can possibly have on a Monday. The venue is huge, the sound system is state of the art and the ambiance is that of a concert that lasts for six hours. Whenever you’re here, the energy becomes you. You feel everything this nightclub was built to make you do, have the best time ever.

Feeding off the energy and success of Wet Republic, Hakkasan and AMG are working on taking over the Strip. The mega-club displays some of the greatest DJs in the world. This night was controlled by Tiesto. His ability and Hakkasan’s concert-like lighting and sound effects are a match made in heaven for ears and makes everyone move to his music. Hakkasan is bringing the south Strip back!

Sunday Funday my a$$! Lets get bananas-champagne crazy! That’s what happens when you party at Hakkasan on a Sunday when Dada Life is in the building. It definitely was a Dom P. and banana kind of night at the Hakkasan last Sunday.

Splash & Spray, that’s going down in the background and that‘s the kind of ish that goes on at TAO Beach each and every Friday when MAXIM hosts their party. There’s just something about champagne that leads to splashing and spraying and we likey!

You just have to love this place. Some of the most important and beautiful people on this earth have partied here and there is no thought as to why because this place is incredible. Olympians, professional athletes, musicians, actors, actresses and talentless reality stars have hosted events and their birthdays here. Theses images show why they choose to party at TAO Las Vegas.

This place is AWESOME. Every single day this place is AWESOME. The party never stops and if it does happen to end, this place picks up right where it left off. It’s by far the best venue of its size and better than most nightclubs that are double its size. This place keep us looking forward to Tuesdays and every second Sunday of the month. Party on Hyde Bellagio!

So that one guy, who had that one song with Lil Wayne on the hook hosted the night at HAZE last Saturday. If you don’t recognize the gentleman on the top left over there with the three gorgeous goddesses, don’t feel ashamed, most of the people at this event didn’t either. Jay Sean is actually a great artist and makes great music, and maaaaan does he bring the ladies out! That’s all that matters.

Major MF’n LAZOR!! This man literally can turn a nightclub staff into a cult for a night. Don’t believe me? Look at the photos from his event.
From the neon pinks and greens to the military camo clothing, his influence makes women find way to become sexily creative. Take a look at the images of the ladies saluting and showing skin. Thank you Major Lazor, this wouldn’t have been possible without you!

This place owns Sundays. Just look at who is hosting the evening. Yeah, that’s the Grammy Award winning recording artist, Bruno Mars! As if the night wasn’t already crazy enough, Chris Brown was also in attendance, poppin’ bottles as Bruno sang to the ladies. You’ve got to appreciate the crowds they bring with them.

Who ever thought of the “Perfect 12” event is a freakin’ genius! It’s the one nightclub event that makes people ask each other, “Is this a strip club?” It’s not, but for the duration of this event it sure seems like it! These ladies really know how to make a nightclub pull from their wallet. The winner of this event receives a $1,000 check and have the opportunity to come back and compete for another $2,000. With the tough times people are going through financially, its good to know that these beautiful ladies are willing to come to this event to entertain and dance-for-dollars.
You have got to come to Gallery Nightclub to see these ladies “shake it like a Polaroid picture.” It is recommended that you witness this event at least twice in your life time.

The big-little brother of XS has managed to remain successful even with two mega-clubs within 30 seconds walking distance of it. The place is always packed and hard to get into. It’s just one of those places that people love to be. It’s the one nightclub that doesn’t need a celebrity hosted event because the celebrities always come here to party. It’s a natural occurrence to see Floyd Mayweather jumping on their couches or LeBron James hanging out in VIP. That’s just Tryst and Tryst is just dope like that.

Chris Brown played host at 1-OAK Nightclub last Friday. Table chicks and bachelorette parties filled the venue to see Brown put on a show. Shout out to the ladies with the “She said yes, we said Vegas,� shirts. Loved them!

The busiest night in Las Vegas is Saturday and tourist know where one of the hottest places to party is. 1-OAK is a favorite amongst locals and tourist alike. It’s not unlikely to rub shoulders with mega-stars while moving around this club. It’s one of those places that will have you saying, “Guess who I ran into in Vegas this weekend?”

1-OAK is still making things happen on Tuesdays. With growing competition from smaller venues, 1-OAK remains at the top due to its support from locals and other nightclubs in town. You have to treat the people of this city right. When you do, they give back to you on your industry nights. That’s what makes 1-OAK a heavy weight on Tuesdays.

This place is f#@king weird, and we dig that about this place! It’s the one place that will leave you saying, “What the f#@k?” while ordering another drink. This place can make your skin crawl and leave you aroused at the same time. You just have to keep in mind that what is done here is merely an ACT.
Oh yeah and the ladies in attendance are pretty hot.

Friday | May 17th Encore Beach Club is the finest pool club in Las Vegas. It’s a beautiful place to take in the scene and party your socks off.. This Friday marked the first of many Beach Bunny competitions and there were some goddesses in attendance. To your right are the top three contestants. Do you agree with the order that they placed? The lady on the left should have taken first place in our most humbled opinion.

Wednesday | May 22nd Thank the architects for nightclubs with pools. There’s no feeling greater than walking into a nightclub with swimming trunks on. Surrender is another one of those nightclubs that is really aggressive on it’s industry nights. Super star DJs such as the likes of Afrojack, Lil Jon, Above & Beyond and Will.I.Am just to name a few, rock this place and force tourist to pay attention to what’s going on at Surrender Nightclub.
