Empire Inc   

Open to partyers ages 18 and older, the Empire is one of the hottest nightclubs in town. Regulars are attracted by the impressive laser light shows, extremely powerful 50,000-watt sound system and the hip guests who pack the dance floor on a nightly basis. Thursdays are the most popular here since a small cover charge equals free drinks all night. The dark interior is complete with two floors and VIP rooms, but reservations are required for the latter and the booking fee can get a little costly so bring your credit cards. Shake your booty with hip-hop and techno, Top 40, rap and R&B - all are played here on designated evenings by energetic DJs. Once you're tired of dancing, pick up a drink at the bar and play a little pool with your pals. Remember, all folks over age 21 who plan on drinking must wear a wristband to distinguish themselves from the younger not-legal-to-drink crowd. - Amie Leavitt
