Vegas   

Club Vegas made a quantum leap to the top of the OC nightclub food chain when it opened its doors on February 13, 2004. True to its moniker, the venue looks like it was plucked right off the famous Las Vegas strip. Accented by tasteful neon lights and retro hardware, Club Vegas is thick with old school Vegas style: the three bars are architectural works of art and the light show above the kidney-shaped dance floor makes it impossible for even the worst dancer to look bad. In addition, the impeccably dressed bartenders pour with heavy hands while the DJs spin an eclectic array of world beat, house, '70s, '80s, funk, trance and acid jazz -- a combination that keeps the dance floors continuously packed. And wait until you take a look at the core people that frequent this place: the women look like runway models and the men look like testosterone-fueled metrosexuals -- in other words, practically everyone is beautiful. Unfortunately, all this glamour comes with a price: during prime weekend evenings, it costs $20 just to walk in the door and another $20 if you're in the no-wait line. If you want reserve a table in the VIP Lounge for you and seven of your friends, prepare to spend $1000 (that figures out to $125 per person). Though a grand is, well, a grand, cocktails and the cover charge are included for you and your guests.
