The undisputed No. 1 nightlife city, Las Vegas has become the go-to place for raucous bachelor parties across the world. Whether it’s drinking, gambling or stripping you’re after, you’ll find every sinful whim catered for somewhere along The Strip -- a glorious stretch of neon-lit hotels, casinos and clubs in the heart of the Nevada Desert. Highly recommended is The Palm, where you can relax in the Playboy Suite before heading down to the casino for a flutter and partying it up at the hotel’s celebrity-filled Ghostbar or Rain nightclub. Oozing tacky glamor and flamboyant Elton John-approved style, Las Vegas is the place to get your wallet (and any body part you want) sucked completely dry.

Those who like their clubbing fast-paced, frenzied and frenetic will love Ibiza, an illuminated Balearic Island that sits just off the coast of Spain. Renowned for the world-famous DJs who flock here every summer to play its clubs, and for its party-goers who spend most of their week-long holidays in Ecstasy- and alcohol-induced hazes, Ibiza certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted. Nevertheless, the island itself is a natural beauty, with long stretches of beach, rustic architecture and more U.N. World Heritage sites than revelers can spoil. Space, Pacha, Privilege, and Amnesia are among some of the island’s most famous clubs, and are perfect for trance lovers looking to sweat ‘n’ sway until noon the next day.

Full of passion, soul and spirit, Rio’s party season doesn’t stop when the annual carnival does; the idea here is to flirt, dance and drink year-round, all with as little money as possible. While there are certainly nightclubs to feed your social addiction -- if not a little scattered about -- Rio’s nightlife tends to revolve around street parties, smaller bars in squares and plazas and gatherings on the beach, such as the famous Copacabana.

You wouldn’t think it to look at it, but behind Amsterdam’s beautiful architecture lies a city of complete and utter sin. Whether it’s the drug-filled cakes on offer at the cozy bars and cafes that line the streets or the women-for-rent on display in the windows of the Red Light District, the Dutch capital has become a top destination for strictly adult-only entertainment. Here the drink is strong (most beer is around 5%), the women are easy and, more significantly, the drugs are legal. What more could any night owl want from a trip to Europe?

While Brits are known for their stiff upper lips, there’s nothing remotely stiff about clubbing in London (apart from the numerous members standing at attention at superclub G.A.Y., of course). From the fashionable haunts of Mayfair to the rough ‘n’ ready pubs of Camden, London is rampant with those with an appetite for a good time. If you’re on the hunt for local celebrities, head to Boujis in swish South Kensington, the favorite club of British princes William and Harry. While the discreet members-only venue may be one of the hardest places in the city to gain access to, inside is a world of high-earning splendor, with hedge-fund managers clinking champagne flutes with couture-clad society girls.

Driven by the fickle natures of fashion and celebrity, Miami’s hot spots are as interchangeable as the weather. What’s hot one week might not be the next, but revelers are guaranteed that there’ll always be somewhere fabulous to cut loose and kick back with a mojito or two. With Art Deco clad to every façade, a distinct Latin vibe pulsing out of speakers and more expensive pouts and poses than on Victoria Beckham’s face, South Beach is where the jet set go wild until their well-heeled feet can’t take it anymore. One of the most long-standing hot spots is Skybar, which sits pretty in the Shore Club hotel and comprises four equally sumptuous bars (usually propped up by famous faces).

The Irish know how to drink (just ask bad-boy actor, Colin Farrell), so it’s hardly surprising that their capital, Dublin, is also the capital of Ireland’s party scene. While it’s certainly not cheap, you’ll get a lot of Guinness for your Euro, that’s for sure. Head to the appropriately named Temple Bar area for hundreds of pre-club bars and pubs, such as the Temple Bar Pub and Doheny & Nesbitt, where you’ll mingle with burly rugby team members necking as much ale as they can get down their gullets.

They call it the city that never sleeps for a reason; open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, New York’s throbbing nightlife will never run out of, um, throb. Whether it’s Sex and the City-style cocktail bars you’re after on the Upper East Side or Coyote Ugly-esque dives in the meatpacking district, you’re sure to find New York one of the most diverse clubbing capitals in America. The birthplace of disco, famed for clubs like Studio 54 and Bungalow 8, New York is where the party originally began.

What was once crushed by communism has now risen from the ashes to become a mecca of glorious hedonism, with high-rollers from across the globe descending on spire-laden Moscow to splash the cash on vodka and other sinful things. While you may need to dress to the nines in Moscow due to the strict face-control policy on many of its nightclub doors, once you’re past the velvet ropes it all becomes worth it. Head to Fabrique first, where you’ll be able to soak up the slick décor from the on-site restaurant before moving onto the dance-floor for a full-on club experience.
