Living in Las Vegas means there’s never a good reason not to party. Even if you have only one day off a week and it falls on, let’s say, Tuesday you can still head over to somewhere like Jet and join in on that club’s weekly Monday night superbash, or even CatHouse or any of several spots that throw ridiculous Monday night parties.

This week might be a good one to hold off on the early-week stuff, however, because the weekend ahead is intense:

FRIDAY (5/2) – First Friday is back already, and with the weather warming up the turnout on Fremont Street just keeps getting better. Check out Beauty Bar, Griffin and Downtown Cocktail Room, and don’t forget about Brass! No reason to miss out on this, if you’ve never been go now!

SATURDAY-SUNDAY (5/3-5/4) – Pool season has begun (more on this soon), and you need to hit one of an ever-increasing number of insane pool parties. Rehab, at the Hard Rock, is the craziest of the crazy, taking place every Sunday. Bare at the Mirage should also be a good spot this Sunday, with 944 Magazine hosting special events all weekend.

MONDAY (5/5) – Cinco de Mayo! Dos Caminos at Palazzo and Border Grill at Mandalay Bay are both great Mexican restaurants to check out for this festive occasion.

Stay tuned for more on Cinco de Mayo and pool season!
