Drawing heavily from the MTV-party set, this club packs them in, and if you're not on one of the many higher VIP levels, things can get very intimate. Fire and water effects circle the small dance floor, but most people are there to be seen, not to dance. The club's liquid theme is carried out in such splashy touches as booths (available by reservation) where the seats are filled with water. Be prepared to stand in line—many nights see a two- to four-hour wait. Thursday 11 pm-5 am, Friday and Saturday 10 pm-5 am. Dress code enforced. US$10 Thursday, US$25 Friday and Saturday; free for local women. The Palms, 4321 W. Flamingo Road (just west of Valley View), Las Vegas. Phone 702-942-6832. http://www.n9negroup.com/#/rain/main.
