The lifts stopped turning at 4 p.m. and the happy hour specials ended more than an hour ago, but you’re not ready to call it a night. Luckily, Tahoe’s nightlife is just as exhilarating as a day on the hill. Whether it’s a hot night on the dance floor or a dark corner in the local’s hangout, we’ve scoped out some of the best late night options Tahoe has to offer.
Hitting the clubs in Stateline
The Montbleu Casino is home to some of the hottest club scenes on the lake. The Opal Ultra Lounge has been hailed as one of the best bachelor and bachelorette party spots around with hot go-go dancers, heart-thumping DJs and body painting nightly. VIP packages and bottle service are available, as well.
Step back in time for Boogie Nights at Blu every Friday, Saturday and Monday. Dig out the disco suits and party with celebrity impersonators to the hottest hits of the 70s and 80s.
Look out for the fresh face on the block. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is bringing rock ‘n’ roll to the South Shore. Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino hosts headlining bands every weekend and the Splash Day Club is the spot to hear music while relaxing in the cabana.
Catch a show in Crystal Bay
From concerts to comedy, the Crystal Bay Casino delivers on live performances.
