BEST DANCE SCENE: Jet at Mirage
THE SCENE: Neither the decor nor VIP status matters here. Jet is all about a thumping beat and plenty of space to get down. With DJs spinning three musical styles in three rooms, it's easy to find your groove, from techno to hip-hop to old school.
WHO YOU'LL SEE: The younger set more interested in showing off their moves than strutting trendy duds.
HOW TO DRESS: Chic yet comfortable; you don't want to sprain an ankle.
THE WITCHING HOUR: Monday nights bring hot guest DJs, but the 16,000 square feet of space can get jam-packed. Saturdays are less crowded, especially before midnight.
HOUSE SPECIALTY: Stripper poles throughout the main room invite guests to try their luck at Vegas's second profession.
LUST FACTOR: Moderate. You might be too busy shaking it to score (702-792-7900; lightgroup.com; cover, $30).

BEST FOREPLAY: Le Rêve at Wynn
THE SCENE: Imagine the air and water acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil's O magnified, with a heavy dollop of sex appeal. Wynn's answer to the Cirque monopoly takes place in a coliseum-style theater surrounding a pool of water. The 90-minute show is a loosely linear tale of love and loss, a surreal journey into an underworld filled with nymphs, angels, and other creatures. But plot isn't the point. Powerful music combines with feats of strength and artistry for a thrilling, heart-wrenching experience—like hearing the Carmina Burana for the first time.
WHO YOU'LL SEE: A cast of 85 of the most toned, beautiful bodies flying in and out of the constantly shifting pool, which morphs from a deep ravine to a massive branch from which the performers catapult into the water. HOW TO DRESS: Who cares? No one will look at you.
THE WITCHING HOUR: Showtimes are 7 and 9:30 P.M. Thursday through Monday. The theater holds only 1,660 guests, so purchase tickets in advance.
HOUSE SPECIALTY: Wet, clingy, barely there outfits and 80-foot hold-your-breath dives.
LUST FACTOR: Sizzling. If this doesn't turn you on, nothing will (702-770- 9966; wynnlasvegas.com; tickets, $99-$125).

BEST ACCESSORIES: Tao at Venetian
THE SCENE: You might get flummoxed by the two Sapphic ladies entwined within a giant cage by the entrance, but keep your cool and move on. Inside, oversize Buddha statues overlook a tightly packed dance floor where lingerie-clad dancing girls whip the crowd into a frenzy.
WHO YOU'LL SEE: Young, trendy things.
HOW TO DRESS: Your best is necessary to get in, but once you're inside, it's too dark to see anyone's outfit.
THE WITCHING HOUR: Early, around 11 P.M., before the place gets jammed with 1,100 partyers.
HOUSE SPECIALTY: Tao-tini—pineapple-sweet, yet tangy and potent.
LUST FACTOR: High. Dark corners and private veiled booths are perfect for intimate tête-à-têtes (702-388-8588; taolasvegas.com; cover, $10-$30).
